LIVE 🔴 Historic! The UN Human Rights Council affirms the human rights and dignity of #intersex persons, adopting its first-ever resolution specifically addressing discrimination, violence, & harmful practices against persons with innate variations in sex characteristics. #HRC55
On Thursday March 28th, from 17:00 until 18:00 on Place des Nations in Geneva, we will gather to show solidarity with our friend and comrade @MARYAMALKHAWAJA and ask for the release of political prisoner AbdelHadi Al Khawaja and the release of all Palestinians. We ♥️ you.
🎉What is your 2024 resolution? Strengthening your #AdvocacySkills with the #UN? If so, don’t miss your chance to apply for #HRDAP24 an #Online and #InPerson training to demystify the international #HumanRights mechanisms🌏FEW DAYS LEFT! 🚨 ishr.ch/latest-updates…
We’re wrapping up the #Right2DefendRights campaign for now. Thanks to everyone who took action or followed. More to come in 2024!
US veto of ceasefire resolution displays callous disregard for civilian suffering in face of staggering death toll. It is morally indefensible, a dereliction of the US duty to prevent atrocity crimes and a complete lack of global leadership. Just appalling amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
I do not recall such a large, diverse and highly qualified group of UN independent international human rights experts ever having rung the alarm bell so loudly and clearly about the risk of genocide and the obligation of all states to prevent #GazaGenocide ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
Our hybrid Human Rights Defender Advocacy Programme provides you not only with technical skills but also with a relevant network & the support of ISHR staff and fellow participants. "An opportunity not to be missed", say our alumni. Apply now for #HRDAP24 ishr.ch/latest-updates…
I warmly welcome this Judgment by the @UKSupremeCourt. As I said at the end of my country visit to the UK, this policy would not be in line with the UK's obligations under international human rights law: shar.es/ag3QhB

BREAKING An immediate ceasefire is needed to prevent genocide in #Gaza, warns large group of UN independent human rights experts. ohchr.org/en/press-relea… @MichaelFakhri @drtlaleng @FranceskAlbs @PaulaGaviriaB @Irenekhan @SRWatSan @dalitwomenrock @UN_SPExperts #PreventGenocide
New Statement on #SOGI and Cultural Life: "Everyone must be able to access, take part in & contribute to cultural life; to freely express their world views, values & ways of life; to see themselves represented in public spaces, media & institutions". 🔗 tinyurl.com/5amd3s49
States must uphold the ideal of sport that is inclusive of LGBTI+ persons. Read a joint statement issued by 13 @UN_SPExperts: ohchr.org/en/press-relea… "We're convinced that sports have the power to change perceptions, prejudices & behaviors: it must not be used to reinforce them".

Shameful decision to stop funding Israeli & Palestinian human rights NGOs, in midst of a crisis of epic proportions. Human Rights are the solution, not the problem. NGOs shouldn't be silenced, now they’re needed more than ever. #Switzerland must not undermine human rights
During #UNSC emergency meeting @RussiaUN ambassador says assuming #UNSC is not able to find appropriate response to conflict, #Russia will initiate a resumption of Emergency Special Session of UN General Assembly #UNGA on protection of Palestinian civilians. @UN_PGA
@LinaAlhathloul Vital reminder by @MaryLawlorhrds: govts including USA must be principled, call out abuses by diplomatic allies too. For @LinaAlhathloul this includes consistency in calling out atrocities unfolding in #Gaza & #Israel's targeting of Palestinian human rights defenders.
@LinaAlhathloul outlines action needed to support #SaudiArabia HRDs: 1) Name HRDs 2) Call out closed-door trials 3) Denounce collective punishment, incl travel ban 4) Condemn use of counter-terrorism law to prosecute HRDs 5) Push for end of use of surveillance technologies
'Human rights defenders are all those simply unable to look away from injustice' @MaryLawlorhrds kicks off commemoration of 25 Anniversary of HRDs Declaration hosted by @StateDept. Proud to be here with @ISHRglobal & fearless activists from across the globe. #Right2DefendRights

I wish I could erase “humanitarian pause” forever. The absurdity of it is just utterly shocking and horrifying. The only way forward is to immediately CEASEFIRE and END THE OCCUPATION. Absolutely nothing will make an occupying power feel safe while they fill the sky with bombs.
Why a “humanitarian pause” is a cruel request
Sign of life - I appreciate everyone’s patience with my delay in responding to messages and emails.. And #FreePalestine, #KeepEyesOnSudan and stand with the people of the #Congo

We welcome the acquittal of sexual & reproductive rights activist Vanessa Mendoza who faced charges after participating in a 🇺🇳 meeting denouncing the total abortion ban in #Andorra. She should have never been charged! #EndReprisals!
I welcome the acquittal today of Vanessa Mendoza in #Andorra, but deplore that she had to undergo 5 years of unwarranted judicial proceedings for her legitimate human rights work.
Political love is one of our main tool for liberation - it enables mobilization, shifts power dynamics and centers the collective. Political love calls in, doesn’t shy from accountability, helps create different ways to relate to each other outside of relationship hierarchies.
The ICJ examination of Israel is welcome, particularly if it can bring an end to the overwhelming suffering of civilians. As @UN_SPExperts have highlighted, the warning signs of genocide are there, mandating actions to prevent it.

If you don’t believe that everyone’s human rights should be respected – then you don’t actually believe in human rights. If you believe nations should just ignore international law when it doesn’t suit them, then you don’t actually believe in international law.
We’re wrapping up the #Right2DefendRights campaign for now. Thanks to everyone who took action or followed. More to come in 2024!
UNSG @antonioguterres has taken an extraordinary step by invoking Article 99 of the UN Charter in relation to Israel bombardment of #Gaza. It is an extremely rarely used tool and as big of an alarm bell as it gets regarding international peace and security.
Last week, we held a consultation on the margins of the 🇺🇳 Forum on Business and Human Rights with #HRDs on the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders on the occasion of its 25th Anniversary on the progress in international law, norms and standards.👏 @salome_ishr @Tess_L_McEvoy

I warmly welcome this Judgment by the @UKSupremeCourt. As I said at the end of my country visit to the UK, this policy would not be in line with the UK's obligations under international human rights law: shar.es/ag3QhB
Judgment has been handed down this morning in the ‘Rwanda Appeals.’ UKSC 2023/0093, UKSC 2023/0094, UKSC 2023/0095, UKSC 2023/0096, UKSC 2023/0097, UKSC 2023/0105: supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-202…
I’ll be following closely tomorrow’s hearing on the case against Saturday Mothers/People in #Türkiye for exercising their right to freedom of assembly. The case against them should be dropped and the right of HRDs to gather peacefully must be protected @TurkiyeUNGeneva
Horrific: reportedly 100s of patients and medical workers killed in bombing of Baptist Hospital al-Ahli in Gaza. This is the cost of the US and EU unreserved support for Israel: more civilians killed; more war crimes; more, more, more. theguardian.com/world/live/202…
