I join other UN mandate holders warning #EU and other states that they must not send Afghans back to danger and must uphold their international human rights obligations, including the principle of non-refoulement.
There must be no normalisation or legitimation of the Taliban unless there are concrete improvements in human rights.
Meetings with Taliban delegations such as in Brussels are regrettable and even when designated “technical” risk normalisation of gross human rights violations by the Taliban, including gender persecution.
We wait replies to our official communications to the EU and some states.
Please read the full statement:
#EU states must not send Afghans back to danger, warn UN experts, recalling the bloc’s obligations to comply with international human rights law & the principle of non-refoulement. “The human rights situation in Afghanistan remains dire.”

I have begun my solidarity action in support of political prisoners in Iran and those participating in #NoToExecutionTuesdays

I stand with those facing persecution for their political opinions, expression and peaceful dissent, and reiterate my call for an immediate halt to executions.

5 years after Taliban seized power in #Afghanistan condemning mounting human rights violations & targeted gender-based repression, UN experts warn against normalisation, urge States to uphold human rights, respect non-refoulement, advance accountability & restore humanitarian aid
#Afghanistan: UN experts warn against the normalization of the Taliban rule, urge states to accelerate steps towards accountability in the face of increasing restrictions imposed on the population, including women and girls, over the past year.

Afghanistan’s human rights crisis is extensive. It is visible in what cannot be easily photographed: lost years of education, the narrowing of dreams for millions of girls; the enduring harms from arbitrary detention, torture and enforced disappearances...

Investigations by the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar, as detailed in its 2026 Annual Report, show a pattern of deliberate aerial attacks on civilians, arbitrary detentions, torture and sexual violence committed by the Myanmar military.

Je partage avec vous ci-dessous le lien à l'exposé que j'ai rédigé en tant que psychologue conseillère de la Human Rights Research League @hrrleague sur la situation au Liban au niveau des impacts des guerres successives et de l'absence d'Etat de droit sur la santé mentale des libanais(es). J'appelle en conclusion au rétablissement de l'Etat de droit au Liban et à la conclusion de la paix sous les auspices de la justice. Ce cours exposé a été publié à la session de juin-juillet 2026 du Conseil des droits de l'Homme des Nations unies @UN_HRC.

MIHR and @hrrleague call for the creation of a global mechanism for the non-recognition of unlawful 🇷🇺 verdicts against 🇺🇦 This is stated in our joint submission to the @UN_HRC . The document concerns verdicts issued by Russian courts and quasi-legal system in the temporarily occupied territories against Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians.
Such so-called trials often take place with gross violations of the right to a fair trial: without proper defence, with the use of fabricated evidence or testimony obtained under pressure, and after the unlawful transfer of people from the occupied territories to the Russian Federation.
⁉️ Why does this matter? Because these verdicts may have consequences beyond Russia. The Russian Federation may try to use them internationally, through Interpol, extradition requests, or mutual legal assistance mechanisms of other states.
📣 That is why we urge foreign governments not to recognize such decisions automatically and not to use them as grounds for detention, extradition, or international search of Ukrainians. The key demand of the submission is to create a global mechanism for the non-recognition of Russian verdicts against Ukrainian citizens in cases related to the war.
The international community must state clearly: Russian “courts” in such cases are not justice, but an instrument of persecution. Recognizing them abroad would mean legitimizing war crimes and crimes against humanity.➡️ The link to the text of the statement digitallibrary.un.org/record…
There cannot be any sustainable peace without freedom & justice for the people of Iran.
UN experts welcome signing of Memorandum of Understanding between #USA and #Iran but warn any agreement that fails to address #humanrights situation will be fundamentally incomplete. “For the Iranian people, that work is yet to begin.”

The arbitrary execution of 10 dissidents and protesters in 10 days since 30 March, after grossly unfair, torture-tainted trials, underscores ongoing deadly repression Iran. The horrific escalation demands international condemnation and urgent action to halt further executions.

On #WorldHealthDay Afghan women and girls continue to face severe barriers to healthcare. Restrictions on movement, education & women health workers are undermining the health system and leading to preventable suffering and loss of life. My report here:

The mandate of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine must be renewed at #HRC61 and adequately resourced. As peace discussions continue, its work is essential to preserving evidence, documenting patterns of abuse, and laying the groundwork for justice.
