✊ Gig workers deserve rights, not loopholes.
This week and next, governments, workers, and employers are negotiating the first global treaty on decent work in the platform economy.
They should adopt strong standards to protect all platform workers’ rights.

🇭🇹 Yesterday’s launch of two specialized judicial units—one focused on mass crimes and the other on corruption—is a significant step toward ending impunity in Haiti.
These units should promptly advance credible investigations and help deliver justice for victims.
1.3M people fled #Sudan's conflict for #Egypt, but they're treated so poorly there that they see fleeing to Europe as their only option
Meanwhile Europe is whitewashing Egypt's abuses, and is doing nothing to address the #UAE's role in Sudan atrocities

The conflict in Sudan has created the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. By providing support, including the hiring of Colombian fighters, the UAE could be contributing to RSF's capacity to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
La administración Trump🇺🇸 ha deportado a más de 4.300 cubanos🇨🇺 a México🇲🇽, muchos de ellos personas mayores con graves problemas de salud que llevaban hasta décadas viviendo en Estados Unidos. Muchos han quedado abandonados a su suerte.

Ecuador🇪🇨 | The enforced disappearances documented by @AJFaultLines are a stark reminder of growing human rights abuses in the country.

NEW: Colombian private military contractors, apparently hired by a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based company, transited through UAE military bases before being deployed to Sudan to support the abusive Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Yet another enforced disappearance and secret trial in Xinjiang — Uyghur academic Rahile Dawut has now been sentenced to life in prison.
