CNN —United Nations members voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to demand that Israel end its occupation of Palestinian territories within 12 months. Fourteen countries voted against, including the United States, Hungary, Israel, Argentina, Czechia, Fiji, Malawi, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, and Tuvalu. In its advisory opinion, the ICJ said Israel should end its occupation “as rapidly as possible.” The UN’s resolution gives a 12-month timeline. During the 1967 war, Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan heights from neighboring Arab states. The Palestinians want the West Bank and Gaza for a future state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Julian Assange leaves a Melbourne court after facing charges of computer hacking in 1995. WikiLeaks/ReutersUnder a global spotlightAs WikiLeaks continued its disclosures, Assange found himself the latest cause célèbre – his every movement intensely scrutinized. … He liked the fuss that (the disclosures) caused but he was oddly incurious actually about the documents.”Others offer alternative explanations for Assange’s eccentricities. There were mounting calls for Assange to leave WikiLeaks and, when he didn’t, many cut ties with it. Outside the confines of his diplomatic shelter, the world questioned whether Assange was trying to circumvent justice.

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Business and political elites descended on the Swiss Alpine snows of Davos to suss out “rebuilding trust” in a splintering world. If there’s any takeaway from the World Economic Forum's annual meeting — boldly touting that theme — it’s that we still have a long way to go. The idea is getting people together, and big announcements are often just a byproduct — not the aim. “It’s unrealistic to think that Davos — or any meeting, anywhere in the world — in one meeting can rebuild trust when it’s fragmented on so many dimensions," said Rich Lesser, chairman of Boston Consulting Group. But thousands of conversations between the social, private and public sectors help create "a starting point for rebuilding trust,” he said.

Human rights activist Maryam al-Khawaja flashes a "V" sign after being released outside the Airport Police Station, in Muharraq, north of Manama September 18, 2014. Maryam al-Khawaja said she was told at a British Airways' counter at Heathrow Airport that she was not allowed to board her flight and should contact Bahraini immigration authorities. "Effectively we are being denied boarding by British Airways on behalf of the Bahraini government," she said in a video taken in British Airways' check-in area, and posted on X, formerly called Twitter. British Airways did not immediately respond to request for comment. Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, also a Danish citizen, is a former president of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights and is serving a life sentence for his role in Bahrain's pro-democracy protests in 2011.

BARCELONA, June 23 (Reuters) - Amnesty International on Friday accused Spain and Morocco of a cover-up for failing to properly investigate events at the border of the Spanish enclave of Melilla last year, when tens of migrants and refugees died during a mass attempted crossing. On June 24 2002, around 2,000 Sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees attempted to enter Spain's North African enclave from Morocco. Morocco said 23 people died in a crush when migrants fell from the fence, and Spain has said no deaths occurred on its soil. "One year on from the carnage at Melilla, Spanish and Moroccan authorities not only continue to deny any responsibility but are preventing attempts to find the truth," said Amnesty International's Secretary General, Agnes Callamard. Spain's Attorney General investigated the Melilla incident but declined to charge Spanish officers who he said had been unaware of the fatal crush.

"There were about 12 Taliban members surrounding me, they tied me to a chair and started beating me from all sides," Zafri told CNN. He added: "I screamed so loud, I blacked out because of the trauma." Fereshta Abbasi, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, told CNN that, since the Taliban's comeback, a local journalist told her how bleak the media landscape is, threatening free speech. "Freedom of speech and media in Afghanistan was one of the country's biggest achievements, which has now unfortunately gone." Meanwhile, Zafri remains stuck in Afghanistan despite repeated attempts to leave following his detention and torture by the Taliban.
Oil and gas giant Saudi Aramco announced a record $161 billion profit for 2022 on Sunday. The record profit comes amid all-time high oil and gas prices after Russia invaded Ukraine. Commonly referred to as Saudi Aramco, the oil and gas giant saw its profits increase nearly 50% from $110 billion in 2021 to a record $161.1 billion for 2022, the company announced Sunday. Other oil companies including ExxonMobil, BP, and Shell also recorded all-time high profits in 2022 as global oil and gas prices reached record highs last year. However, all of those earnings at $55.7 billion, $28 billion, and about $40 billion, respectively, were dwarfed by Aramco's $161 billion.

REUTERS/Temilade Adelaja/File PhotoFeb 7 (Reuters) - A special panel named by Nigeria's National Human Rights Commission launched an investigation Tuesday into recent Reuters reports on rights abuses by the country’s army. Nigerian military leaders said the abortion program did not exist and that children were never targeted for killing. The U.S. defense and state departments, the United Nations Secretary-General, the German foreign minister, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch all called for Nigeria to investigate the Reuters findings. In a 2002 paper, two Nigerian scholars called the body "a red herring” to distract from human rights violations. In 2013, the military allegedly killed as many as 200 civilians in the town of Baga, in northeastern Borno state.
[1/2] People walk outside of the Sharm El Sheikh International Convention Centre during the COP27 climate summit opening in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt November 6, 2022. Climate action "requires more people on the street, more voices, more independent research, more independent reporting, more accountability when climate obligations are not met," said Tirana Hassan, Human Rights Watch's acting Executive Director. "That's not going to happen under governments such as the Egyptian government which is excluding civil society, independent journalism and academia," she told a meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh this week. Despite those criticisms some delegates argued that there was a benefit to holding the summit in Sharm el-Sheikh to shine a light briefly on Egypt's record. "This is a huge opportunity," Egyptian journalist and human rights advocate Hossam Bahgat said.
When world leaders, diplomats, campaigners and scientists from nearly 200 countries arrive for the United Nations climate change conference in Egypt Monday, their focus will be on curbing global warming. They have called for the world leaders attending the event, known as COP27, to confront the Egyptian government over its alleged human-rights abuses, particularly its treatment of political prisoners. In 2019, he was jailed for “joining a terrorist group” and “spreading false news” to undermine national security. It said that Fattah, 40, a British national, was being prosecuted because of his activism and social media posts highlighting human rights violations allegedly committed by the Egyptian government. Amnesty’s head, Agnes Callamard, warned Sunday that Egypt had no more than 72 hours to save the jailed dissident's life.
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — Jailed British-Egyptian citizen Alaa Abdel-Fattah stepped up his hunger strike by refusing water, ratcheting up fears for the life of one of the country's leading rights activists just as world leaders arrive in Egypt for the start of the COP27 climate summit. Amnesty International chief Agnes Callamard said Sunday that authorities had less than three days to save Abdel-Fattah's life, warning that failure to intervene would overshadow the U.N.'s flagship climate conference. The 40-year-old has stopped drinking water in a desperate attempt to pressure Egyptian authorities to allow him U.K. consular access. The escalation of Abdel-Fattah's hunger strike has prompted grave concerns for the prominent human rights activist and writer, who had consumed just 100 calories a day for more than 200 days. Egypt is hosting the COP27 climate summit in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh through to Nov. 18.
CAIRO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he will raise the case of Egyptian-British hunger striker Alaa Abd el-Fattah with Egypt's leadership during the COP27 climate summit that opened on Sunday, the same day Abd el-Fattah said he would stop drinking water. Egyptian officials have not responded to Reuters' phone calls for comment on Abd el-Fattah's case, but have said previously that he was receiving meals and was moved to a prison with better conditions earlier this year. Abd el-Fattah's family said he was only consuming minimal calories and some fibre to sustain himself earlier in the year. Abd el-Fattah's family said he had told them he would stop consuming honey, tea and milk on Nov. 1 and planned to cease drinking water from Sunday. Egyptian authorities had to act within three days to save Abd el-Fattah, the head of Amnesty International, Agnes Callamard, told a press conference in Cairo.
CNN —Egypt is facing a barrage of criticism over what rights groups say is a crackdown on protests and activists, as it prepares to host the COP27 climate summit starting Sunday. According to rights groups, security forces have been setting up checkpoints on Cairo streets, stopping people and searching their phones to find any content related to the planned protests. The Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms (ECRF), an NGO, said Wednesday that 93 people had been arrested in Egypt in recent days. Then there is a separate public venue where climate exhibitions and events take place throughout the two weeks of the summit. But rights groups said the government’s initiatives amounted to little change.
„Turcia a devenit prima membră a Consiliului Europei care a renunțat vreodată la un tratat internațional privind drepturile omului. Eșecurile de abordare a violenței împotriva femeilor în Turcia sunt agravate de o cultură a impunității în materie de violență, mascată de așa-numitele valori familiale. Această retorică periculoasă a Guvernului turc potrivit căruia Convenția de la Istanbul „normalizează homosexualitatea”, declară secretara generală a Amnesty International, Agnes Callamard. Se cere incriminarea și sancționarea legală a diferitelor forme de violență împotriva femeilor, de exemplu a violenței domestice, hărțuirii, hărțuirii sexuale și violenței psihologice. A reglementa violența împotriva femeilor și a ști că este o infracțiune va ajuta la eradicarea acesteia.

Mai multe manifestaţii sunt prevăzute să aibă loc joi în Turcia în semn de protest faţă de această retragere, transmite digi24.ro. Convenţia de la Istanbul, adoptată în 2011 şi semnată de 45 de state şi Uniunea Europeană, este primul tratat internaţional care stabileşte norme juridic constrângătoare pentru prevenirea violenţei împotriva femeilor. Marţi, justiţia turcă a respins un recurs care viza anularea retragerii Ankarei din Convenţia de la Istanbul. De altfel, asociaţiile de apărare a drepturilor femeilor se tem de o creştere a violenţelor, pe fondul unei situaţii deja critice. Totuși, Hulya Gulbahar, o avocată a Platformei Femeilor din Turcia pentru Egalitate, a declarat pentru Deutsche Welle că legea din 2012 privind protecția familiilor și prevenirea violenței împotriva femeilor, adoptată de Turcia pentru a transpune directivele Convenției de la Istanbul în legislația națională, va rămâne în vigoare chiar dacă Turcia s-a retras.

Opozantul rus Alexei Navalny este încarcerat în condiţii ce constituie tortură şi care ar putea să îl ucidă încet, a declarat miercuri organizaţia neguvernamentală internaţională pentru drepturile omului Amnesty International, transmite miercuri Reuters. Amnesty International a declarat că Navalny, care anul trecut a fost otrăvit cu un agent neurotoxic din categoria Noviciok, este acum supus privării de somn şi nu are acces în închisoare la un doctor în care poate avea încredere. Serviciul penitenciarului a declarat săptămâna trecută că tânărul de 44 de ani primește toate tratamentele necesare. În februarie, Alexei Navalny a fost închis pentru o perioadă de doi ani şi jumătate pentru nerespectarea condiţiilor de eliberare condiţionată, calificate de opozant ca fiind motivate politic. Alexei Navalny a fost arestat la 17 ianuarie la revenirea sa din Germania, unde fusese transportat în stare de comă după ce fusese otrăvit în august 2020 la Tomsk cu agent neurotoxic.

Alexei Navalnîi a intrat în greva foameisăptămâna trecută. Publicația pro-Kremlin Izvestia a citat o declarație a Autorității pentru penitenciare din Rusia în care se spune că Navalnîi a fost testat pentru diverse afecțiuni, inclusiv pentru coronavirus. Serviciul pentru penitenciare nu reacționează la o singură plângere de-a noastră... Ei nu au spus nimic despre starea lui de sănătate”, a spus Olga Mikhailova. Un oficial al Amnesty International a spus că a făcut un apel la președintele rus Vladimir Putin cu privire la starea tot mai deteriorată a lui Navalnîi, scrie digi24. Săptămâna trecută, însă, Navalnîi a fost vizitat de Maria Butina, o femeie care a petrecut 18 luni în arest, în SUA, pentru că a lucrat ca agent rus neînregistrat.

Un tribunal din Irak a emis joi un mandat de arestare naţional împotriva preşedintelui american în exerciţiu Donald Trump, în cadrul anchetei asupra uciderii lui Abou Mehdi al-Mouhandis, puternicul comandant al forţelor pro-Iran din Irak, omorât anul trecut împreună cu generalul iranian Qassem Soleimani, informează AFP, citat de Agerpres. În iunie 2020, Iranul a emis un mandat de arestare şi a cerut emiterea unei “notificări roşii” către Interpol pe numele lui Trump pentru uciderea generalului Soleimani, procedură ce nu a avut succes până acum. Soleimani, a acuzat Donald Trump, “spunea că ‘vom ataca ţara voastră, îi vom ucide pe oamenii voştri'”. '”, a continuat preşedintele Trump pentru a justifica uciderile, calificate drept “ilegale” şi “arbitrare” de Agnes Callamard, raportoare specială a ONU asupra execuţiilor extrajudiciare. Tribunalul pentru anchete din Roussafa, sectorul estic din Bagdad, “a decis să emită un mandat de arestare împotriva preşedintelui în exerciţiu al SUA, Donald Trump, conform articolului 406 al Codului Penal irakian”, detaliază un comunicat al Autorităţii judiciare.

Irak a emis un mandat de arestare pe numele lui Donald Trump

Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, adjunctul-șef al rețelei paramilitare Hașed al-Șaabi, în mare parte pro-iraniană, a murit în același atac cu dronă efectuat de SUA în care a fost ucis și generalul Qasem Soleimani, la aeroportul Bagdad, pe 3 ianuarie 2020. Atacul asupra convoiului de mașini a fost ordonat de președintele Donald Trump, care ulterior s-a lăudat că ar fi ucis „doi (bărbați) la preț de unul”. Iranul deja a emis, în luna iunie, un mandat pentru arestarea lui Trump și a cerut Interpolului să-l redirecționeze precum o așa-numită notă roșie către alte forțe de poliție din jurul lumii, solicitare care nu a fost până acum îndeplinită. Instanța din estul Bagdadului a emis un mandat pentru arestarea lui Trump sub incidența articolului 406 al codului penal, care impune pedeapsa cu moartea în toate cazurile de crimă cu premeditare, potrivit judecătorilor. Instanța a precizat că ancheta preliminară a fost încheiată, însă „investigațiile continuă pentru a-i demasca pe ceilalți vinovați ai acestei crime, fie că sunt irakieni sau străini”.
