Tunisia’s Court of Cassation is upholding the convictions and heavy sentences of 34 people for “conspiracy against state security” and terrorism offenses in November 2025. The earlier trial was unjust and a sham, with final sentences ranging from 5 to 45 years.

🚨@SecRubio's vow to dismantle the International Criminal Court is an affront to victims of grave international crimes.
📢ALL ICC member countries should make clear to Washington that they stand by the ICC & stand for justice.
#HRC61 As Belarusian authorities continue to commit grave rights violations in the country and persecute Belarusians in exile, @UN_HRC members must heed the call from CSOs and renew key mandates to ensure prospect of accountability

The latest @UN_HRC session proved wins are possible: it created an independent body to investigate abuses in Afghanistan, renewed vital UN monitoring on Russia, Sri Lanka, Sudan & Cambodia, & adopted an important resolution to address systemic racism.

🚨 NUEVO de @hrw_espanol:
Gob abusivos como #Egipto, #Vietnam, etc ganaran membresía en el Consejo de #DDHH ONU el 10/14 por votaciones no competitivas.
Estados miembros deberían dejar de entregar membresía en el Consejo en bandeja de plata a violadores reincidentes de DDHH.

Afghan women continue to resist the attacks on their rights, and we should stand with them in solidarity with concrete actions.
We urge the @UN_HRC to establish a robust comprehensive accountability mechanism this session.

The US has used its #ICC sanctions against UN expert @FranceskAlbs.
Let's get real. This is all about trying to silence her from speaking truth to power about Israeli violations against Palestinians.
ICC + UN members should condemn this outrageous abuse of US sanctions.

“It’s obvious you should tax the rich. You don’t need a Nobel prize to figure that out. In fact the world today taxes them at a lower rate than ordinary people when they should be taxed at a higher rate.” - @JosephEStiglitz, Nobel laureate in economy #FFD4Sevilla
At #HRC59, @hrw calls on states to unequivocally support the resolution renewing @IESOGI.
Everyone has the right to live free from violence and discrimination. There are no exceptions.

The chilling preliminary findings of the UN's Fact-Finding Mission into the armed conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have been released.
As horrific crimes continue, robust investigations and accountability are urgently needed. trib.al/rFjqYg3

The Trump administration’s first 100 days in office have been a relentless barrage of actions that violate, threaten, or undermine human rights.
To illustrate the breadth and depth of damage, HRW has compiled 100 harmful actions during these 100 days: trib.al/Ehk6ifg

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court.
This order effectively puts the US on the side of war criminals at the expense of victims of grave crimes seeking justice.

Even in extreme situations @WHO says people need at least 15 l/day of water to survive. Because of the Israeli gov’s deliberate actions, Palestinians in Gaza had 2 to 9 l/day for over a year. This is extermination, a crime against humanity & an act of genocide - new @hrw's report
Israeli authorities have deliberately deprived Palestinians in Gaza of water, causing widespread disease outbreaks among civilians and likely thousands of deaths. This is extermination, a crime against humanity, and an act of genocide – read @hrw’s report

#UNRWA: We must never forget the value of UN Charter and the institutions it underpins. This decision is deeply troubling for many reasons – with potential dire impacts on the human rights of those depending on UNRWA’s assistance
If implemented, the laws adopted today by the Knesset of Israel would likely prevent @UNRWA from continuing its essential work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with devastating consequences for Palestine refugees.
I call on Israel to act consistently with its obligations under the Charter of the @UN & international law. National legislation cannot alter those obligations.
I am bringing this matter to the attention of the UN General Assembly, and will keep the Assembly closely informed as the situation develops.
There is no alternative to UNRWA.

🚨🧵 @hrw reacts to #Israel’s latest move against @UNRWA: “The Israeli parliament's appalling decision to ban UNRWA from areas under Israeli control is not only unjustified but risks expanding Israeli authorities’ use of starvation as a weapon of war in #Gaza, a war crime.” 1/x

Our op-ed:
Norway’s government has been a leader in promoting international law in many instances, but indeed seems to have a double standard when it comes to the rights of Afghan women. @2runw
