We wrote about how migrant workers are facing the heaviest toll as war comes to the Gulf countries, which have faced a daily barrage of Iranian missile and drone attacks. At least 12 civilians have been killed. All but one of them were foreign nationals. nytimes.com/2026/03/10/wor…

Less than a half-hour’s drive from the charm of central Damascus, the suburb of Darayya feels a world away. It shows how much time and aid are needed if ruined areas are to become livable again: a lesson as obvious as it is ignored by those pushing returns to Syria. 🧵

President Trump’s executive order imposing sanctions on the ICC is reckless and vindictive. Full statement from @AgnesCallamard ⬇️ amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

Trump sat in the room saying Gaza is all death and destruction and unlivable next to the man that gave the orders to make it so.

BREAKING: Israeli authorities have once again extended the ban prohibiting Dr. Abu Safiya from meeting with his legal representative until 6 February. We strongly condemn this unlawful decision & urgently demand immediate access for Al Mezan's lawyer to assess his condition.

On 21 January, a heavy Israeli military operation was launched in Jenin city and its refugee camp, in the West Bank. According to MoH, Israeli forces killed ten Palestinians and injured 35 others, including six health workers.

Mexico's legal position on the interpretation and scope of Article 51 of the UN Charter, related to invocations of self-defense. More of this, please. (tl;dr: The use of force against non-State actors on the territory of another State without the latter's consent are unlawful.)

I’ve been saying to watch the West Bank before October 7 and since. Now, more than ever, watch the West Bank

This long history of colonial domination leads to increasing levels of inequality! We need change NOW✊ #FightInequality #TakersNotMakers Read more 👉oxfam.org/en/takers-not-…

Dr. Abu Safiya is among hundreds of Palestinian health workers who have been arbitrarily detained or forcibly disappeared by Israeli forces. Israeli authorities must disclose his whereabouts and ensure his protection from torture and coercion. #take-actions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">amnestyusa.org/urgent-actions…

'Gold, the Sudanese people’s most lucrative asset, is mined from under their feet and flown over their heads to the Middle East, then traded for weapons to rain down on them as they starve.' This week's column theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

What needs to happen? - Phase out fossil fuel investments - Eliminate fossil fuel subsidies - Stop tax abuse - Directly tax those most responsible for the climate crisis #TaxTheSuperRich amn.st/6016agSxM

Governments must also put measures in place to stop the biggest polluters contributing to climate harms. This means ensuring private corporations act in line with their #humanrights responsibilities; and the richest are adequately taxed #makepolluterspay

Currently, most climate finance from high-income to lower-income countries is in the form of loans, many of which have high interest rates. Without debt relief, new finance will likely repay existing debts, not support climate efforts. #debtjustice for #climatejustice

Adequate financing is crucial to protect the rights of millions, especially historically marginalized & frontline communities. But the massive gap between what’s needed & what’s been pledged means govts are not equipped to fight #climatechange

#COP29 saw a very disappointing annual funding pledge of USD 300 billion by high-income countries to help lower-income countries take #ClimateAction, less than 1/4 of the minimum needed to reduce carbon emissions, build resilience to climate change, & compensate for loss & damage
