“Successful for us means that games succeed for everyone, not just for Airbnb, the FIFA president and Donald Trump. Right now, that’s where it’s headed. Somebody needs to stand up and say, ‘No, that’s not how the World Cup should be done’.”

There are just 10 weeks left. Millions of fans want to enjoy this tournament. But having one eye on the match and one eye on whether ICE is coming is no way to celebrate. It’s time to act now and save the World Cup from being a stage for repression. Stop the fear. Bring back the joy.

Over 500,000 people were deported from the USA in 2025 – six times more than will watch the World Cup final at the MetLife stadium in July. Our new report today outlines the real risks to fans and communities that FIFA and host governments must urgently address. 👇 www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

President Trump must immediately retract dangerous threats to attack Iran's power plants, and commit the U.S. to upholding international humanitarian law.https://www.amnestyusa.org/press-releases/usa-iran-trumps-warning-that-usa-will-attack-irans-power-plants-is-a-threat-to-commit-war-crimes/

When those in power try to silence us or cut us off from each other - by limiting education, censoring ideas, blocking news, or keeping the rest of the world in the dark - we don’t just sit back. We stand together. #WorldBookDay2026

US President Donald Trump’s fossil fueled bullying continues. A few profit from climate denialism; many will pay. Other countries must stand up & stop Trump’s destruction of the mechanisms we need to protect human rights in the face of the accelerating climate crisis. www.politico.eu/article/us-s...

“The resolution attempts to turn the ICJ’s interpretation of key legal standards into a practical roadmap for state accountability, which is likely to trigger pushback from…countries wary of their historical responsibility” says @candyofime.bsky.social apnews.com/article/un-r...

Breaking News: Journalists & NGO workers are acquitted for a 2nd time in a defamation lawsuit brought by Kolmar Group AG against Public Eye & TRIAL International The was seen as being a classic SLAPP, and the acquittal is a win for corporate accountability trialinternational.org/latest-post/...

The current U.S. administration seeks to damage climate action in the U.S. and globally; strong resistance from governments and people is key to safeguarding our collective future. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement threatens a “race to the bottom” in global climate action. Other historic emitters must also continue to phase out fossil fuels irgently, despite coercion and bullying from the US. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Join Amnesty International on February 4 at 7pm EST for an exciting webinar about how people around the world are fighting to protect the environment and our collective futures by ending public financing for fossil fuel expansion. amnesty.ca/event/extrac...

This report exposes the growing power of the super rich, including their role in dismantling the infrastructure for ESC rights realization. Amnesty SG Agnes Callamard wrote a forward describing the links among turbocharged inequality, authoritarian practices, and human rights.

Our new report finds that billionaire fortunes grew 3 times faster in 2025 to highest peak ever. This concentration of wealth is reshaping democracy. Billionaire money changes who gets heard, who decides & who gets left behind ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/publi... #TaxTheSuperRich #WEF26

At #WEF #Davos, the world’s richest will meet under “A Spirit of Dialogue”. But dialogue w/out multilateral cooperation & int’l law means nothing. While most of the #SDGs are off-track, authoritarian practices threaten peace, worsen the climate crisis & erode #humanrights. A 🧵

Spoke to the Guardian on amnesty’s 1978 World Cup campaign and how our expectations of bodies like FIFA have since changed. It feels like change will come when either customers or sponsors revolt, monopolies are challenged or sport’s autonomy is regulated. And it may need a crisis to kick it off.

“Withdrawing from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in particular is unprecedented and the United States will be the only country to have done so.” www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Tax can be a powerful tool for realizing rights, but the U.S. govt has opted to instead protect the interests of large corporations. All eyes are on the still being negotiated UN tax convention, where states have the opportunity to enshrine a human rights promoting global tax agreement.

2025 has been an incredibly busy year for the @amnestybhr.bsky.social Team. Please take a look at some of our highlights from the past year. #Bizhumanrights [1/14]

Eyes on #COP30 crunch day: Urgently tackling the drivers of climate change, including fossil fuels and deforestation, and providing money for countries to adapt and to rebuild without debt - MUST go hand in hand. Humanity demands big steps and bold action.

Amnesty and many others insist that the right to protest be protected - not undermined - by the UNFCCC at COP. There is no climate justice without human rights. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fantastic news from COP30! As Amnesty’s - & many others’ - research has exposed, fossil fuels harm the rights of hundreds of millions living near infrastructure, & the rights of billions affected by cimate change. The FF treaty is an impt & hopeful route to phase out. fossilfueltreaty.org/cambodialo

We joined 170+ organizations to demand the @UNFCCC reverse the impacts of their request to increase security forces at #COP30. #IndigenousPeoples & civil society are not a threat. The right to peaceful protest is essential to climate action at COP30 & everywhere climaterights.org/wp-content/u...

The juxtaposition of these figures on the high # of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP and the images of Indigenous protestors literally breaking the doors to get in exemplifies the injustice of climate governance. hhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/14/fossil-fuel-lobbyists-cop30

This personal and wrenching op-Ed about the cost of fossil fuels was written by a child environmental human rights defender from Ecuador www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Fossil fuel projects around the world threaten the health of 2bn people

Amnesty International warns fossil fuel infrastructure is a 'major source of human rights violations' around the world.

The fossil fuel industry is thriving, despite the global commitments by world leaders to move away from coal, oil and gas. In our latest report, #ExtractionExtinction, we @amnesty expose how fossil fuel infrastructure is expanding at the expense of human rights. amn.st/60197VvTh

As COP30 negotiations begin, we remember the Ogoni Nine, and demand that this COP result in commitments to protect human rights defenders and phase out fossil fuels.

Amnesty leadership, staff and environmental human rights defenders will be at COP fighting for fossil fuel phase out, protections for defenders, and climate finance. Stay tuned for updates. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

This report reveals how the structural racism and spatial inequality continuing from the apartheid era are exacerbated by climate-induced flooding, which poses right to health and housing risks in South Africa’s informal settlements.

Amnesty International will launch the new Corporate Crimes Handbook at the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights 2025. Launch event is on Weds 26 Nov, 13:00-14:30 at the Palais de Nations (H Building), Geneva, Switzerland. and livestreamed here: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi...

The world’s eyes are on Brazil as the host of upcoming #COP30. There is no justification for a state policy implemented through bloodshed.

Key powerful governments and industry have sought to sabotage the EU corporate sustainability and due diligence directive, which sets standards that polling shows Europeans want.

“These punitive welfare systems increase economic insecurity, erode trust in public institutions and leave millions feeling humiliated and abandoned by mainstream politics.”

Authoritarians seek to destroy alternate sources of power and authority - this includes the UN and their crucial work on human rights especially. Safeguarding those institutions is key to fighting rising authoritarian momentum. ishr.ch/latest-updat...

Climate change poses an immediate threat to the human rights of Pacific communities. Those who emigrate to New Zealand face visa systems that are not fit for purpose. Our new Amnesty report calls on the government of NZ to create humane pathways for migration. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Proliferating UNnatural disasters driven by climate change displace people all over the planet. This report looks at what such displacement looks and feels like in the Pacific. The Pacific may be first, but their fight is all of our fight. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

It is time to seize this moment, to end the horror, to heal what can still be healed, and to protect what remains of our shared humanity Let us not falter. Let us rise. Our struggle to end Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, its cruel apartheid and illegal occupation is not over.

🚨A NEW POLL released by @amnesty.org & @globalwitness.org suggests majority of Europeans favour human rights & environmental protection yet @ec.europa.eu is trying to roll these back #EU #CSDDD #HumanRights #climatejustice 🧵 Full results here: amn.st/eupublicopin... [1/8]

Polling underaken by Amnesty and @globalwitness.org shows that the majority of most EU residents want their governments to make sure that business operations protect people & planet! Rolling back protections serves the profits for a few at the expense of the many www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Banning words from government science reports is a hallmark authoritarian move. Authoritarians destroy public goods, alternate sources of authority, & avenues of dissent. Free expression is central to scientific rigor & collective action for human rights. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...
