In a functioning democracy, people must be able to hold the powerful to account.
But the Government wants to scrap the Human Rights Act and make itself untouchable.
At the Human Rights Council @antonioguterres said we must show all the people of #Ukraine that we stand by them in their time of need.
We support the Secretary-General's call to #StandUp4HumanRights.
Countries need to invest in universal health coverage. Health is a human right and no one should have to walk away from a pharmacy counter because they can't afford the medicine. #HealthForAll
More armed conflict in Ukraine would have devastating consequences for human rights. The US must provide funding to activists in conflict areas, safe exit for those targeted, resources to groups facing abuse, and monitor and push for accountability for human rights violations.
As the #Olympics2022 games continue in #Beijing, the atrocities and injustices which #China commits against human rights defenders also continue.
China wins a gold medal for the torture of human rights defenders. We must #SpeakOut.

Why Eileen Gu, China’s new super idol Olympic champion is more problematic than just ignorant US teen?

#HumanRights activists issued a call to action against the Beijing Olympics on Friday, imploring athletes and sponsors to speak out against what they call the #GenocideGames.”
‘Genocide Games’ in Beijing are an assault on our values — on human dignity, basic freedoms & human rights. Those who value the Olympic spirit should boycott; those who defend Bejing’s charade, including @DavidShoemaker & Dick Pound, should be ashamed.
