Volker Türk@volker_turk·
A free press is the oxygen of a free society. Yet efforts to silence the media are becoming disturbingly creative – and normalized. States must end the persecution of journalists and act to protect them. We must stand with those who stand for truth.   ohchr.org/en/statements-…

#Cambodia: @volker_turk deeply concerned by the upholding of the conviction of Kem Sokha & convictions of 33 other opposition activists, human rights defenders & social media users for exercising their right to freedom of expression. Cambodia should protect, not criminalise, legitimate criticism & expression. We call for their unconditional release. ohchr.org/en/press-brief…

António Guterres
António Guterres@antonioguterres·
I’m deeply concerned about the curtailment of navigational rights & freedoms in the area of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting energy, transport, manufacturing & food markets & strangling the global economy. All of humanity is paying the price. Consider these three scenarios: 1: Restrictions are lifted today Supply chains will take months to recover, prolonging lower economic output and higher prices Global economic growth will drop from 3.4%to 3.1%. Global inflation – which had been declining – will climb from 3.8% to 4.4%. 2: Disruption drags on through midyear Growth falls to 2.5%. Inflation hits 5.4%. 32 million people are pushed into poverty. Fertilizers run low, and crops yields fall short. 45 million more people will face extreme hunger. 3: Severe disruptions persist through the end of the year Inflation skyrockets past 6%. Growth plummets to 2%. Immense suffering takes hold, especially among the world’s most vulnerable populations. We confront the spectre of a global recession – with dramatic impacts on people, on the economy, and on political and social stability.
