Given the mass atrocities against the Rohingya, decades of war crimes, and the overthrow of the elected government, the least the UN Security Council can do is impose a global arms embargo on #Myanmar . @KenRoth
#Covid19 - pandemic of human rights abuses. At least 99 protesters killed and injured in #Uganda . 132 arrested in #Russia . Nine medics detained in #Egypt . In #China , 17,000 people investigated. 84 prevented from joining protests in #Cuba . @GerrySimpsonHRW
As a major and influential donor, #Japan ’s government has a responsibility to take action to promote human rights in #Myanmar . It should urgently review and suspend any public aid that could benefit the Myanmar military.
When the #Saudi government brutally punishes citizens and residents who dare provide honest critical feedback, it can’t credibly spin proposed reforms as genuine efforts to improve people’s lives. @MichaelARPage
The #ICC faces steep challenges in carrying out its mandate in #Libya . Without a police force, it relies on governments of countries where suspects can be found for cooperation in arrests, and that cooperation has been inadequate. @HananMSalah
#Saudi authorities have announced a series of long-awaited reforms, yet as long as they continue to punish those who dare provide honest critical feedback, they can’t credibly spin proposed changes as genuine efforts to improve people’s lives
Demand for action as #Poland tramples on women’s rights. The European Commission should hold the Polish government accountable for violating fundamental rights. @hillarymargo
The @GermanyDiplo says that human rights are at the core of German foreign policy. The federal government now has the chance to fill this postulate with life when #SriLanka is on the agenda at the next session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
If the #Sudan transitional government is committed to breaking from the nation’s abusive past, it must ensure that the army incl the Rapid Support Forces operate within the law. They should make it clear that soldiers will be held accountable for abuses.
