📞 @kajakallas.bsky.social @eudiplomacy.bsky.social #EU response to #Sudan crisis on total stand-still since #Berlin Conference. Time to wake up to risk of atrocities. Where are sanctions? Where is pressure on #UnitedArabEmirate to stop fueling conflict & atrocities? www.ohchr.org/en/statement...

Closure of UN OHCHR office in #BurkinaFaso after months of pressure by authorities shows how they refuse any genuine human rights work in the country. #HRC62: @euatun.bsky.social should bring situation on HRC agenda, at least by leading joint statement. #HRC62 www.hrw.org/news/2026/07...

#BurkinaFaso The closure of the UN Human Rights Office is just the latest casualty in the junta’s campaign against independent scrutiny. Burkina Faso is becoming a country where grave abuses can increasingly unfold without witnesses, @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2026/07...

"Judicial madness" @lemonde.fr's Edito denounces Europe's paralysis in the face of #Tunisia's crackdown on dissent. Years of silence, elevated as flawed strategy by @eudiplomacy.bsky.social, emboldened repression. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu: time to reverse course. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

The EU has spent decades sharing “concerns” over Israel’s illegal settlements and related abuses. It should at least stop bankrolling them. And that’s not an “option”, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu; it's an obligation: hrw.org/news/2026/06...
