OHCHR on the operationalisation of the IIM-A: any Afghanistan mechanism must ensure meaningful, sustained engagement with victims & civil society, inclusive of rural, displaced & persons with disabilities. Full independence, gender-responsive & child-rights expertise,

Ending impunity requires including victims & survivors at every stage from the very beginning. Informing them is essential, and participation strategies must reflect social & economic realities. Inclusion isn’t symbolic, it’s structural. #Afghanistan #VictimCenteredJustice

World Must Act Now to Avert Renewed War: TPLF “The Federal Gov’t has already mobilized its full force along #Tigray’s borders, signaling preparations for yet another invasion. Federal authorities appear determined to impose political outcomes through force. Time is running out.”

Our new report documents how, during the January 2026 uprising, IRGC led a centralized campaign of mass killings, ~50,000 arrests, systematic blinding, torture, digital blackout, and deployment of proxy forces. It reflects an organized chain of command and a pattern that meets the threshold of crimes against humanity. iran-hrm.com/2026/02/12/irg…

Open letter: Genocide prevention and accountability for Tigray “As women human rights defenders, we emphasize that genocide prevention is inseparable from gender justice. Sexual violence, attacks on mothers, the exclusion of girls from education, and the silencing of women's voices are not incidental harms of war—they are early indicators and tools of genocidal violence. Failure to center these realities undermines early warning systems and costs lives.”

Pleased to attend the #UNGAat80 commemorations in London today to mark 80 years since the UNGA and Security Council first met in the background of escalating challenges and pressures on the multilateral system, civil society, diplomacy and conflict resolution.
