The UN Security Council has adopted a long overdue US resolution to protect civilians, release civilian hostages and demand an end to eight months of bloodshed, unlawful attacks and mass humanitarian suffering in Gaza
The resolution must now be implemented immediately by all parties to the conflict. Any states with the ability to influence either of the parties must make every effort to ensure an immediate stop to the daily horrors of this war
The US had previously blocked multiple ceasefire resolutions including by using its veto 3 times. Its shift is long overdue. With more than 37,000 Palestinians dead, amid a risk of genocide and an engineered famine, its stalling has come at an extremely heavy price.
The US must now use its influence to ensure this ceasefire becomes a reality. It must halt arms transfers to Israel and ensure that Israeli authorities allow unfettered humanitarian aid access throughout Gaza.
@amnesty insists also that accountability for the many crimes committed by all parties must remain on the international agenda. Justice must be delivered.

Your voice matters. You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better world.
You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests.
Freedom of expression is a human right.

Ecuadorian authorities must investigate what happened to Leonela and her family and protect activists so that they can carry out their work in a safe environment.

The legacy of Lenca river defender #BertaCáceres is alive in Canada, in the words of hope that surround Berta’s tree and the hearts of all who take up her call: We have no replacement planet. We have to take action!”

Reports that over a hundred Palestinians were killed & injured while trying to receive food aid in northern #Gaza yesterday are horrifying.
This must be independently investigated.

Solidarity from Canada with @LeonelGeorge5 and support for the just demands of @guapinolre, amid more persecution in #Honduras. @XiomaraCastroZ water and a healthy environment are human rights. Defending them is NOT a crime🌿 Many eyes are watching!
Presidenta @XiomaraCastroZ , Presidenta de la #CSJ , @PJdeHonduras, Fiscal General @johelzelaya, Ministro de Seguridad, @PoliciaHonduras; si tengo Cuentas pendientes con la Justicia porque no me Notifican si no que me hacen hostigamiento y Persecución con la Policía? #BastaYa

Hoy hace 3 años un grupo de dignas personas salió a marchar para exigir justicia por un feminicidio en #Cancún y fueron brutalmente reprimidas por agentes policiales. Amnistía Internacional documentó uso excesivo de la fuerza, detenciones arbitrarias y violencia sexual esa noche
🔴 A 3 años de los hechos lamentables en #Cancún donde hubo uso excesivo de la fuerza y armas letales durante una protesta, llamamos a las autoridades de #QuintanaRoo @MaraLezama a garantizar el acceso a la verdad, justicia y reparación del daño a las víctimas @de_9n.

Human rights defenders are a powerful force for change and hope in 🇨🇴! Despite vital recognition and positive action by the gov't of @petrogustavo, #Colombia remains one of the most dangerous countries to defend land, #Indigenous territory and the #environment🌿Amnesty reports🧵
