After months of close cooperation with the Ministry of Social Affairs across Syria, today’s signature of the MoU further formalizes and strengthens our partnership.
Our shared goal is to support vulnerable Syrians, including returnees and displaced families, not only to meet their immediate needs, but also to rebuild their lives and thrive.

@UNHumanRights needs your support. Now is the time to step up- not step back.
UN Human Rights@UNHumanRights
Protection saves lives. Accountability prevents abuses. Early warning averts crises. In 2026, we need US$400 million to continue this critical work. Human rights need you. Your support matters. Donate here: donate.ohchr.org

@UNHumanRights Human rights work is essential. It protects people from abuse, holds power accountable and helps prevent conflict before it explodes. When rights are respected, societies are more stable, inclusive, and resilient — it’s not idealism, it’s prevention. Please support
Volker Türk@volker_turk
Human rights need you. In 2025, @UNHumanRights supported hundreds of thousands of people – a lifeline for the abused & a voice for the silenced. But we are in survival mode. We need to step up investment in this low-cost, high-impact work. ➡️ Our appeal: ohchr.org/en/statements-…

Power to all girls and women in this world. We stand with you.

Being born a girl is the primary cause of exclusion globally. Leadership is one of the clearest tests of that exclusion. All girls must have an equal voice - to participate, make decisions & lead change. #DayOfTheGirl linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

In awe of our inspiring colleagues working day in day out for justice and peace at the UN Human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine.
UN Human Rights@UNHumanRights
UN Human Rights continues to uncover systematic torture and abuse of Ukrainian civilians. Danielle Bell, head of UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, calls for more support to keep her 85-member team on the ground, documenting every violation to record the truth.

You can free a prisoner. You can clear a conviction. But you cannot correct an execution.
UN Human Rights@UNHumanRights
You can free a prisoner. You can clear a conviction. But you can’t correct an execution. The death penalty is irreversible. It risks taking innocent lives — and it is most often used against the poor and marginalized. It does not prevent crime. It does not deliver justice. It violates the right to life and the right to human dignity. 🕊️ Two-thirds of countries worldwide have abolished the death penalty. It’s time to end it — everywhere, for everyone. #EndTheDeathPenalty #RightToLife #StopExecutions

People of Gaza and anywhere in the world have the right to essential supplies they need to live. There is no doubt about it.
UN Human Rights@UNHumanRights
Israel’s obligations under international law, spelled out by @CIJ_ICJ ruling, are crystal clear. People of Gaza & throughout the occupied Palestinian territory have right to essential supplies they need to live. Israel is bound to respect, protect & fulfil the human rights of Palestinians. - UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Having a nationality is a human right.
United Nations@UN
Having a nationality is not a privilege - it's a human right. Yet, millions of people worldwide are denied a nationality, which can prevent them from attending school, seeing a doctor, getting a job & more. Learn more: unhcr.org/en-us/ending-s… via @Refugees

I am deeply worried by the misuse of #Guatemala 's criminal law to arrest Indigenous leaders, including Deputy Minister Luis Pacheco, whom I met twice. Participating in peaceful demonstrations is a human right that must not be punished.

It could have been earlier, it could have been later. I am leaving UNHCR after 39 years & I would like first to thank refugees, asylum seekers, forcibly displaced persons & stateless persons for what they gave me, shared with me & to express regrets for those I did not help 1/4

Human Rights will help us build this path towards #OurCommonFuture of peace, development, equality & justice.
They offer concrete solutions to current & emerging challenges.
I call on the international community to fully embrace them.
António Guterres@antonioguterres
The adoption of the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations opens pathways to new possibilities and opportunities. We have unlocked the door to #OurCommonFuture. Now it is our common responsibility to walk through it.
