Rights are not empty promises, they're tangible obligations. Govts must abide by them.
National Human Rights Institutions are working to make this a reality & hold Govts accountable to the people they serve.
I encourage them to keep up this crucial work: ow.ly/tczF50RzoEb
#Russia: UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk calls on authorities to immediately release journalists detained solely for doing their jobs.
At least 30 journalists are arrested under different criminal charges.
The continuous attacks on free speech are very troubling.

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk says Israel’s orders on #Rafah are inhumane.
Enough of the killing.
There must be a ceasefire. Aid must flow. Hostages & arbitrarily detained must be released.
War, climate change, food insecurity, unchecked new tech: These are not insurmountable challenges.
History has shown us time & time again that respect for human rights is the only way to achieve sustainable peace, security & development.
It's time leaders act accordingly.

We regret cabinet decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel. A free & independent media is essential to ensuring transparency & accountability. Now, even more so given tight restrictions on reporting from Gaza. Freedom of expression is a key human right. We urge govt to overturn ban
Suppression, criminalisation & attacks against journalists are being met w/ impunity.
This cannot become our status quo.
In this crucial election year, we must ensure Govts protect our right to hold those in power to account & speak out when needed

#Cambodia: We are very concerned by Supreme Court’s decision to uphold conviction of trade union leader Chhim Sithar, convicted for exercising rights to freedom of peaceful assembly & association.
We call for Sithar's immediate release.
Disinformation is deepening divides, fueling crises around the world; while free press is under attack.
Just last year, 71 journalists killed, 320 imprisoned.
#WorldPressFreedomDay is a chance to stand for truth, protect those bravely working to uncover it & counter oppression.
#Georgia: @volker_turk concerned by reports of unnecessary & disproportionate use of force against demonstrators.
Authorities urged to withdraw bill labelling NGOs and media outlets receiving foreign funding as “organisations acting in the interest of a foreign power”
Since 2016, 2,691 rights defenders were killed. Over 1/2 were environmental defenders.
This is unacceptable.
2024 is the biggest election year in history- a tremendous opportunity for change. Don't let it go to waste. Vote for defenders. For our planet. For our rights @GlblCtzn
Glad to be in #Chile- a country whose journey towards truth, justice & reconciliation reminds us that human rights are the foundation for healing & way forward. Grateful to have met President @GabrielBoric, senior officials & civil society to continue advancing this crucial work.
I am deeply moved by the Memory and Human Rights Museum in Santiago, Chile. I pay tribute to the victims of grave human rights violations, their families, and all who have been courageously and relentlessly searching for truth and justice.
#USA: Universities have a strong tradition of student activism and strident debate – but recent heavy-handed steps to dismantle protests across campuses are troubling. Legitimate exercise of freedom of expression cannot be conflated with incitement.
