@rolandgarros@RafaelNadal I love RG but what a disastrous experience I had with your ticketing system. Won the lottery , want to buy tickets for 31 May for my daugher and I as we have planned to come for the week end to Paris from Geneva. Sold out before I know it...Daughter truly disappointed. Do better.
On the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration Human Rights, we should celebrate - not because of those who wrote it - but because of all those who have disrupted history with it. We need a UDHR for the next century of rights. Join us: https://t.co/CQ9FaoKflj
Switzerland's amendment to rape law is a historic victory for human rights.
It marks the end to the outdated definition of rape that required the use of physical force, threat or coercion, and considered only women as victims. https://t.co/ozSZkFMvqT
Après des années de campagne, le Conseil national finalise la réforme du droit pénal sexuel vers une solution du «Non, c'est non». Une véritable victoire 🎉 pour les #DroitsHumains en Suisse. Aux activistes et organisations qui se sont engagés: merci! 🙌

Farewell Benjamin Ferencz. The longest-living Nuremberg prosecutor. The tireless fighter for international law and accountability. A role model for so many of us. A man of steel, deep integrity, resilience, and such kindness. A giant. https://t.co/XSvwak6Ea9
We issued this quote to media:
“It’s outrageous and unacceptable that @AirCanada have refused to allow @kettynivyabandi to board her flight, despite her meeting all the legal requirements to travel to Mexico”.

In 2022, we've witnessed iconic acts of defiance. Countless times, people took to the streets to defend their rights.
A reminder to those in power - we will never be mere bystanders when our dignity, equality and freedom is assaulted.

We launched Amnesty's Annual Report onstate of human rights in the world today. 152 countries, countless languages, different teams, no dearth of challenges, one mission-- to make the world a better place.
The West's robust response against Russia over Ukraine is in stark contrast to MENA inaction where the West's allies (including Israel, Saudi Arabia & Egypt) continue to fuel instability, repression, discrimination of women & impunity for multiple crimes.https://t.co/ZqfnjRdc4t
.@amnesty 2022 annual report highlights unacceptable double standards throughout the world on human rights and the failure of the international community to unite around consistently-applied human rights and universal values. Read more 👇
Governments have failed to uphold their promises. As hypocritical states pick and choose which rules to ignore with impunity, worldwide respect for human rights is deteriorating.

To the women who roar when told to be silent, who stand up again and again when pushed down. To the women who fight back, again and again, even when attacked. To the women who are wise teachers and students when power demands ignorance. 1/ #IWD23
