Rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza. Supplies from outside urgently needed, as stressed by UNSCO to EU. We call for border crossings to be opened for immediate provision of humanitarian aid to civilians Action needed to prevent loss of more innocent lives

Israel is threatening to target civilians who stay in northern Gaza as supposed sympathizers with a terrorist organization. reuters.com/world/middle-e… That's what Israel did in 2006 in southern Lebanon even though civilians had many good reasons not to flee. hrw.org/news/2007/08/2…

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed. Everyone must assume their responsibilities. This is a moment of truth. History will judge us all.

Important new coalition launched yesterday to press for recognition of the right to a healthy environment in the ECHR. We need an ECHR protocol to enshrine this right and strengthen European environmental rights protection

A very good morning from the ECHR CEDH in Strasbourg, where I’ll be live-tweeting today’s hearing announcing the ECtHR’s first three climate rulings. Excitement is running high, Greta Thunberg is here and the hearing is going to be packed. Stay tuned! 1/x

Climate change exists, it's a threat to Convention rights (yes!!), States are aware of it and capable of taking measures to address it, and the risks will be lower if the rise in temperatures is limited to 1.5 degrees.

20/ This ruling in the Klimaseniorinnen case will have implications way behind Switzerland! 🇪🇺All European States have the same obligations than Switzerland under art. 8 with regards to the need to protect the right to private and family life in the context of climate harms.

I am dismayed by political attacks in some western countries on the independence of the International Criminal Court. The ICC is doing its job to impartially uphold international justice, regardless of the perpetrator, when countries have failed to do so ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

UNHCR calls for urgent reforms to halt the arbitrary detention of asylum-seekers. Detention disrupts family ties, harms physical and mental health, and violates their right to seek asylum. bit.ly/3XJuryx
