#WestBank: backed by Israeli authorities, settlers’ violence, killings, and displacement have skyrocketed since Oct 7 #Israel’s allies are finally sanctioning a few individuals. But this is a state policy, part and parcel of #apartheid New @hrw report: hrw.org/news/2024/04/1…
New @hrw report documents the forcible displacement of 5 entire Palestinian communities due to settler attacks, often with direct participation of @IDF. ⚠️This is not going to be resolved by sanctioning a few bad apples. Here's what the EU should do: hrw.org/news/2024/04/1…
It's been one year since fighting broke out in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, before rapidly spreading to other parts of the country. What led to the conflict, and what's happening now? ⤵️

Greece's highest court ruled that the govt's surveillance powers go against 🇬🇷Constitution & EU human rights texts. ✔️A major victory in the ongoing surveillance scandal ❗️Time for reforms that fully guarantee right to privacy & citizens' access to info hrw.org/news/2024/04/1…

Acknowledging a mistake should lead to not repeating it, @Bundeskanzler @ABaerbock @GermanyDiplo. #Israel received binding #ICJ orders to prevent a #genocide in #Gaza. It imports 30% of its arms from #Germany: rb.gy/c6773t You know what to do. "Fast & decisively".
The #genocide was possible bc of the international community’s failure to act fast & decisively. Colonial powers bear responsibility for contributing to the artificial division between Hutu & Tutsi. This includes Germany, since Rwanda was part of German East Africa till 1918. 2/3
As #EU fails to set good example by proposing own Directive on Transparency of Interest Representation on behalf of Third Countries and not acting in cases like Kyrgyzstan’s fresh Russia style NGO law hrw.org/news/2024/03/1…, no wonder GD are emboldened to resurrect this @eu_eeas
The ruling @GeorgianDream41 party just announced that it will re-initiate the Russian style foreign agents law again!
Too little, too late for this statement by @eu_eeas. EU lost opportunity to insist with KG president to not sign bill into law. KG joins Russia & Belarus with repressive “foreign agents” style legislation. Law about 90% identical to Russian one. More here: hrw.org/news/2024/03/1…

What a tough slog this has been! EU ambassadors approved the proposed EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. A huge hurdle has been crossed today--and some tough compromises made to secure this vote. Moves to the EU parl approval now.
⛓️ In the EU, it matters how products are made! Ambassadors just confirmed the Corporate sustainability due diligence directive (#CSDDD)! 💚 It fosters sustainable & responsible corporate behaviour, anchors human rights & environmental considerations for companies' operations.
