Parlament de #Catalunya aprueba moción reconociendo la realidad de apartheid que viven millones de palestinos y necesidad de poner fin a complicidad con este crimen. Cortes Generales y parlamentos europeos deben seguir el ejemplo. @hrw sobre esta iniciativa #EndIsraeliApartheid

Today Parliament of #Catalunya has passed motion recognizing reality of apartheid for millions of Palestinians and calling for end to complicity in this crime. Spanish parliament and parliaments throughout Europe should follow suit. @hrw on this initiative #EndIsraeliApartheid

France and UK will join #HRC for 2021-2023 term. France has been passive in pressing for scrutiny of serious human rights violators. The UK, while inconsistent, has led on several country-specific situations. Is @EmmanuelMacron the emperor with no clothes? hrw.org/news/2021/01/0…

As #France prepares to join UN #HRC, @EmmanuelMacron should ensure it abides by his lofty statements on human rights to not be revealed as an emperor with no clothes. He can take some cues from the #UK. hrw.org/news/2021/01/0…

La #France doit changer radicalement et immédiatement de stratégie au sein du Conseil des droits de l’homme et mettre en accord sa pratique très décevante- comparé à celle du Royaume-Uni par exemple- avec les grands discours d’⁦⁦@EmmanuelMacron. blogs.mediapart.fr/bruno-stagno-u…

Al-Sisi misuses counterterrorism to brutally repress dissent. Instead of selling arms to #Egypt and rolling out the red carpet for upcoming state visit, @EmmanuelMacron should condition the visit to the immediate release of arbitrarily detained activists. hrw.org/news/2020/12/0…

La France a trop indulgé Al-Sisi et sa répression brutale en #Egypte. @EmmanuelMacron devrait exiger la libération immédiate des activistes et défenseurs des droits arbitrairement détenus, ceux du @EIPR inclus, comme precondition à une visite officielle. hrw.org/news/2020/12/0…

France has indulged Al-Sisi’s brutal repression in #Egypt for too long. @EmmanuelMacron should demand that arbitrarily detained activists and rights defenders be released, including those from @EIPR, as a pre-condition for the state visit on 7 December. hrw.org/news/2020/12/0…

President Macron should not jettison his #Lebanon plan as a “risky bet” that didn’t work. Easing pressure now would embolden the corrupt leaders– which France has abetted in the past– and lend credence to these leaders’ claims that they are indispensable. hrw.org/news/2020/11/3…

Following the Brereton report, #Australia should learn lessons from failure by the #UK to prosecute its own soldiers implicated in #Iraq & #Afganistan war crimes and ensure no government minister prevents or interferes with investigations & prosecutions. hrw.org/news/2020/11/1…

With demand for #COVID19 vaccines likely to defy supply, India & South Africa will ask #WTO TRIPS Council tomorrow to temporarily relax intellectual property rules to unlock manufacturing potential worldwide and thus prevent hoarding by richer countries. thehill.com/opinion/intern…

The #HRC elections today delivered a stunning rebuke to #SaudiArabia under Mohammed bin Salman: only country not elected, shunned by a majority of the UN. The kingdom reaped what it deserves for its serious violations of human rights and war crimes abroad. un.org/en/ga/75/meeti…

As #France will likely be elected to #HRC next week, it should stop ‘trailing from behind’, hampering or belatedly subscribing to efforts by #EU allies, and commit to lead at least one neglected country situation to prove its commitment to multilateralism. hrw.org/news/2020/10/0…

There are real positives on human rights in UK foreign policy. Yet the overall picture is one of inconsistency in ways that undermine key UK goals. Having a human rights strategy would help. My new essay for @FPCThinkTank fpc.org.uk/the-value-of-a…

Congratulations to #Denmark and @JeppeKofod for leading a strong joint statement- signed by 29 states and counting- on human rights situation in #SaudiArabia at #HRC45, calling for justice for #Khashoggi, release of all political detainees and rights defenders and end to torture.

President @EmmanuelMacron should use his considerable leverage in #Lebanon to ensure that there is an independent international investigation into the #LebanonExplosion. Attempts by local politicians to assign the inquiry to a local judge are unacceptable. hrw.org/news/2020/08/1…

Le président @EmmanuelMacron doit utiliser son influence au #Liban afin d’assurer une enquête indépendante et internationale sur l’explosion du 4 août. Les démarches des politiciens libanais pour ne confier les enquêtes qu’un juge local sont inacceptables. blogs.mediapart.fr/bruno-stagno-u…

Void between @EmmanuelMacron words-deeds on full display in #Libya. His selective indignation harms his vaunted commitment to human rights and fight against impunity. Time for #France to cease turning blind eye to grave violations committed by its friends. hrw.org/news/2020/07/1…

Temps pour @EmmanuelMacron de cesser de fermer ses yeux sur graves violations pour préserver sa relation avec Haftar. Quand dénoncera-t’il la «responsabilité historique et criminelle» de ses alliés en #Libye au lieu de pratiquer une indignation sélective. blogs.mediapart.fr/bruno-stagno-u…
