🚨New @hrw report finds #Israel committed war crimes, crimes against humanity + ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Israel forcibly displaced 32,000 #Palestinian refugees from 3 refugee camps, prevented return + systematically destroyed parts of the camps.👇

Syria & intl partners should: 👥Prioritize inclusive justice 🤝Cooperate with intl justice mechanisms ⚖️Advance legal reforms & ICC jurisdiction 🏛️Build political will, partnerships They seize the rare chance to deliver justice, restore rule of law & prevent atrocities.

Achieving justice won’t be simple—it requires close cooperation between Syrian authorities, other states, intl institutions & civil society.

Building on years of documentation, the report outlines a roadmap for credible accountability in Syria. It ➡️Draws lessons from justice processes, incl across MENA ➡️Highlights key challenges to delivering justice ➡️Identifies steps to finally break cycles of impunity & violence

Almost a year ago, the fall of #Assad marked a historic shift after decades of atrocities, giving Syrians renewed hope for truth, justice and redress. HRW's new report advises on steps to advance comprehensive justice meet moment & reaffirm intl law. 🖇️:

🚨Important show of support for the #ICC at #UNGA yesterday. ➡️During her annual briefing to UNGA, the ICC president called on all ICC member countries to take action individually and collectively in the face of mounting attacks on the court and those cooperating with it🧵👇

Met with 3 Palestinian NGOs recently sanctioned for cooperation with @IntlCrimCourt: @alhaq_org @AlMezanCenter @pchrgaza. Effects on their work already manifesting: closure of bank accounts, unpaid salaries, fear of lost archives, further shrinking of civic space.

In @nytimes, heads of @amnesty & @hrw highlight how US sanctions against Palestinian human rights orgs & ICC/UN officials jeopardize the rights of victims globally. The foundations of the int'l justice system are under attack. States must act to defend it. https://t.co/dv5FpYoxTu

Great to read EU Special Representative for Human Rights @KajsaOllongren's take on flawed decision by #Mali #BurkinaFaso #Niger to withdraw from @IntlCrimCourt. But frankly it should up to @KajaKallas & @EU_EEAS to call out this move & stand up for ICC. https://t.co/fFpEAYvBuU

My reaction to the announcement of withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from the @IntlCrimCourt ⬇️. The support from the intl. community to the ICC and Intl. Justice should be bolstered not haltered.

Since July 2024, Belarusian authorities have issued presidential pardons to hundreds of political prisoners. Yet, they have not scaled back on repression and at least 1,184political prisoners remain behind bars. Their families wait for their return. https://t.co/g34LgFscW0 @hrw

As leaders gather for #UNGA, our upcoming report w\ @STJ_SYRIA_ENG & @syrian_archive details evidence of a centrally coordinated military operation within which the March atrocities in Syria unfolded & calls for scrutiny of senior officials’ responsibility. DM for embargoed copy

After US sanctions against judges and deputy prosecutors of the International Criminal Court, new sanctions recently imposed by the US against 3 Palestinian human rights organizations, @alhaq_org, @AlMezanCenter, @pchrgaza, for their collaboration with the ICC is deeply alarming.

🔴 It's official: EU Commission proposes sanctions on Israeli ministers & settlers + suspension of 🇪🇺-🇮🇱 trade deal: https://t.co/4G7ITSXPNu EU states must approve now. @GiorgiaMeloni @_FriedrichMerz: will you stop blocking EU action amid famine & growing consensus on #genocide?

The Syrian govt should act urgently to prevent collective punishment, combat hate speech, and investigate serious abuses, beginning with those committed by its own forces. Ensuring accountability within its ranks is a critical first step toward building trust & a unified state.

Overnight, 1000s of Bedouin fighters from across Syria mobilized toward Sweida after reported attacks by Hikmat al-Hijri’s militias on Bedouin civilians. Fueled by sectarian rhetoric, the risk of full-scale communal violence is rapidly escalating.

#July17 is International Justice Day ⚖, the anniversary of the #ICC's founding treaty. It's a day to reflect on 🙌courageous efforts ✊around the 🌏 to ensure justice for the worst crimes through national and international courts. #JusticeMatters #NGOVoices

🔴Survol de la France par Benjamin Netanyahu, visé par un mandat d'arrêt de la CPI : la semaine dernière, @jnbarrot @francediplo a de nouveau affirmé que le Statut de Rome n'impose aucune obligation concernant le survol du pays par un fugitif de la CPI. Pourquoi c'est erroné⤵️

1/4 Together with @karapatan, Prof Y. Chua & @PAMPALONIPAOLA, we addressed @EP_ForeignAff & @EP_HumanRights on the human rights situation in the #Philippines @hrw focused on 🇪🇺 action needed on abuses spanning both #Duterte & #Marcos governments 🧵...

Together with our partners, we urge all #EU Member States & the @EU_Commission to: ❌halt arms transfers ❌sanction those responsible for ongoing atrocity crimes ❌suspend the trade agreement with Israel Learn more: https://t.co/j4i39BlOSb
