The Commission of Inquiry has concluded that Russia’s deportation of Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity.
Four years into this illegal war, the Commission’s work is more needed now than ever.

Parliamentarians play an important role on human rights - great to have some from the UK in Geneva last week.

Excellent to meet and speak with the UK Parliament @HumanRightsCtte and explain the work we do here in Geneva on human rights.

A sobering anniversary.

В 2014 г. Борис Немцов смело выступил против незаконного захвата Крыма Россией и военной агрессии на востоке Украины. 27 февраля 2015 г. он был убит на Москворецком мосту, в тени Кремля. Сегодня посол Великобритании @NigelCaseyHMA с другими дипломатами почтил его память.

#HRC61 kicked off this week — here’s what happened. UK Minister @CPJElmore set out the UK’s position on Ukraine, Sudan, South Sudan and Gaza, as the Council moved into key debates on Afghanistan, Myanmar and more.
Stay tuned for more updates. 🇬🇧🇺🇳

We will not ignore the continued, wholesale destruction of women’s rights and freedoms in Afghanistan.
Yvette Cooper@YvetteCooperMP
I’m appalled by continuing restrictions imposed on women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s new criminal procedure code legitimises domestic violence and targets women and minorities. These oppressive measures must be rescinded. The rights of all Afghans must be protected.

The UK is back on the @UN_HRC. Here’s a little more on what it does and why…

HRC61 starts this week, and the UK is back on the Human Rights Council. In this latest episode of our #GenevaKitchen series, we break down what that means in practice. A busy session ahead, stay tuned.

We led the call for this report. That was the easy part. We all now need to respond to its findings of vile brutality: “hallmarks of genocide”.
UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳@UKUN_NewYork
The world must not look away from Sudan. The @UN Fact-Finding Mission’s report from El Fasher is chilling. Starvation used as a weapon of war. Systematic sexual violence. We need accountability for the perpetrators and justice for victims. We need a ceasefire.

Today, the UK stood with diplomats from across multilateral Geneva to mark two years since the death of Alexei Navalny.
🇬🇧 and partners believe Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin. We will make use of all policy levers at our disposal to continue to hold Russia to account.

In Sudan rape is being systematically used as a weapon of war. The world must not look away from the women of Sudan.
