I am deeply worried about the escalating restrictions & attacks on civil society around the world. #SocialMovements drive the positive changes our societies so urgently need. Govts must listen to & support movements & respond to their concerns. Peaceful protest is a human right

#ActforHumanity: Message from UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk on #WorldHumanitarianDay
We are witnessing an appalling rise in attacks on humanitarian workers and civilians across conflict zones - like DRC, Gaza, Myanmar, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen, to name just a few. We cannot allow this dangerous new normal to take hold, where those dedicated to saving lives are being targeted and innocent civilians are increasingly caught in the crossfire. This demands our strongest condemnation and - let me emphasize - unyielding resistance. One issue that I am particularly alarmed by is the escalating attacks on health workers and facilities. Despite the Security Council adopting a resolution in 2016 to protect them, Member States have largely failed to enforce it. On #WorldHumanitarianDay, I urge all Member States to confront the devastating consequences of inaction. It is imperative that meaningful steps are taken to uphold the laws designed to protect humanity and end the impunity for violations of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law. Protecting those on the front lines and the civilians caught in conflict is an absolute necessity that requires immediate and decisive action. #ActForHumanity

Narratives that pit us against each other & scapegoat migrants & refugees are manipulation tactics used to perpetuate fear & deflect from the root of societal issues. We must see through these politics of distraction & #StandUp4Migrants, because human rights create abundance- for everyone. We all have a role to play in building social cohesion: https://lnkd.in/eBcer8BR

Today is a grim milestone for the world - the people of #Gaza are now grieving 40,000 Palestinian lives lost. On average, 130 people are killed every day. All sides must agree to an immediate ceasefire, lay down their arms & stop the killing once and for all. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d_PiNt64
