An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

El 12 de marzo se aprobó la modificación de la Ley APCI en Perú🚨 Desde la Red EU-LAT, instamos a la UE a rechazar esta decisión y urgir al Gobierno a devolver el dictamen a la Comisión de Relaciones Exteriores para una evaluación más profunda y transparente 📄Lee nuestro comunicado: urlr.me/dqMcrQ

Una parte del sistema judicial en #Guatemala ha dejado de impartir justicia y centra sus esfuerzos en perseguir a operadoras de justicia, periodistas y defensoras de derechos humanos. Desde la #UE exigimos el máximo respeto al Estado de Derecho y a los derechos fundamentales.

Today 360+ civil society & trade unions worldwide are urging @europarl.europa.eu & @consilium.europa.eu to say: 📢No to weakening the #CSDDD 📢No to corporate impunity 📢 #NoToOmnibus If #Omnibus adopted, it would turn corporate due diligence into an empty shell 👉 corporatejustice.org/publications...

Can't agree more with Olof Skoog in his final newsletter as EUSR Human Rights. In other words, EU & MS officials who fail to speak truth but accommodate with repressive leaders with hope of short time gains undermine EU's interests, leverage & credibility as global actor. @eudiplomacy.bsky.social

🌎 🌐 La semana pasada iniciamos nuestro ciclo de talleres de incidencia, un espacio clave para fortalecer alianzas y la acción conjunta de OSC de Europa y América Latina en defensa de los DDHH y la democracia. 💡 📢 Próximo taller: Incidencia ante el sistema de la ONU 🇺🇳 ¡Seguimos el diálogo!

📢 ¡Atención! En las próximas semanas estaremos lanzando un informe sobre el estado del espacio cívico en América Latina, que analiza las crecientes restricciones y su impacto en la democracia y los #DDHH en la región. 🌎 💡En este #DíaDeLasONG, reiteramos la urgencia de proteger el espacio cívico.

Just a hunch — this isn't going to go down well in Parliament. 4 of 5 companies could be exempt from EU corporate sustainability reporting as part of Brussels’ anti-red tape drive Full story here: www.politico.eu/article/most...

📢 On World #SocialJusticeDay we say #NoToOmnibus! We join the call on the EU to protect its commitment to human rights and environmental protection. We believe that a just and sustainable future requires strengthening, not weakening, our shared commitments. The 🇪🇺 to stand for people and planet!

The official White House account posted this.

The new world order is exactly what it looks like. Are we too frozen with fear to name it? | Zoe Williams www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

USAID's closure is leaving local NGOs without crucial funding, setting a worrying precedent. In Europe, several countries are already cutting their foreign aid and MFF negotiations could further impact cooperation. Now more than even, the EU must step up and lead with real values-based alternatives.

A motley but energetic crew of business interests, centrist political leaders and far-right crusaders all want to reset the EU’s Green Deal. Yet they are divided on the remedies — and even on whether they want to work together. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/insi...

"The EU will not benefit from backtracking on its sustainability standards [like the #CSDDD] but rather set itself up for failure, to the detriment of its institutional stability & human rights & the environment." - UN Rapporteur Olivier De Schutter in @euobserver.com euobserver.com/eu-political...

#NoToOmnibus We refuse to let corporate interests rewrite the law without us. Victims of corporate abuse, workers & communities are not consulted on #Omnibus— corporations are @ec.europa.eu must decide: does it stand w/people & planet or w/corporate interest? 📰 corporatejustice.org/news/press-r...

So who did the European Commission invite to today's Omnibus consultation? #CSDDD #CSRD #Taxonomy @somoamsterdam.bsky.social had a look at the 30 companies on the guest list. Here's what we found: 🧵 @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @vdombrovskis.bsky.social

Not without us We are in front of the @ec.europa.eu bringing the voices of victims of corporate abuse that EU policymakers do not want in their consultation meeting today. NGOs & trade unions have a common message: #NoToOmnibus The EU should serve people and the planet, not corporate interests.

What the fuck

📢Once again, 150+ CSOs say #NoToOmnibus. The European Commission is risking the dismantling of the #CSDDD and other sustainability files by reopening agreed laws without participatory consultation⁉️ Rolling back is more than ever NOT AN OPTION. 👉Read the joint statement: urlr.me/JV4g8u

TOMORROW PROTEST #NoToOmnibus Join us to call out corporate influence on #Omnibus process. We DO NOT accept that corporations & banks are invited whilst victims of corporate abuse, workers & frontline communities are left in the cold. Loud & clear: “Not without us”

Loud & clear: 📣The EU's Competitiveness Compass is a reward to corporate interests avoiding responsibility Cutting #HumanRights & environmental protections under the guise of ‘simplification’ fuels impunity & leads the way for the next Rana Plaza or Brumadinho tragedy No backtracking. #NoToOmnibus

A battle is looming in Brussels around NGO funding. And this week’s EU Influence is packed with juicy documents and exclusive reporting related to the brewing storm 👇

Amazing: From “without the single market, GDP would be 6.8% (and capital stock 10%) lower” in paper cited in Draghi report to “According to M. Draghi, the EU is currently losing 10% of its GDP potential due to regulatory complexity” 🫠 Bit of informational friction at technocracy/politics interface…

Two months into her second term, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is gearing up to set fire to reams of environmental red tape that she played a central role in crafting. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/ursu...

"EU leaders should ignore the siren calls from corporate lobbyists to follow Trump into a global race to the bottom that we could never win "Our competitiveness will be built on high investment, high standards and high quality jobs - not keeping millions of women in poverty" - Esther Lynch

NGOs could lose crucial EU funding, leaving rich corporate lobbyists to dominate policymaking. Without civil society, there's no one to hold power to account or fight for people's rights and the planet. Our MEPs @lenaats.bsky.social, @jaumeasens.bsky.social and @marietouss1.bsky.social ⬇️

This is not precisely surprising, but extremely short sighted and bad news for people & the planet. #CompetitivenessCompass @eulatnetwork.bsky.social

Sur X(.)com, le patron de Twitter/X France publie une tribune en réaction aux "récents départs de notre plateforme".
