The new rush on minerals carries massive human rights risks and has already caused harm to people and planet.
Colombia’s initiative at #UNEA7 is a chance to change course. With 50+ partners, we @hrw.org encourage Colombia to pursue its goal for a global binding agreement on mineral supply chains.

Mineral demand is surging. Without safeguards, communities & ecosystems will pay the price.
Colombia’s initiative at #UNEA7 is a chance to change course. With partners, we encourage it to submit its resolution by 29 Sept so it can be debated in Dec.

New Industry Requirements Could Disrupt Abusive Armed Groups’ Trade in Gold
Deep in the forest in Venezuela’s Bolivar state, residents live in fear of horrific violence at the hands of armed groups involved in the illicit gold trade.
Illicit gold trade funds abusive armed groups in Venezuela & other conflicts.
A new gold industry requirement by the London Bullion Market Assiciation for global gold refiners could help shed light on these illicit trade routes, a first step towards ending them.

Eine Kommission der Vereinten Nationen hat festgestellt, dass Israel in Gaza Völkermord begeht.
Da die israelische Regierung ihre Angriffe auf Gaza-Stadt weiter verschärft und die noch verbliebene zivile Infrastruktur Gazas zerstört, haben alle Staaten die Pflicht, zu handeln.

Human Rights Watch: Angriffe auf Krankenhäuser Kriegsverbrechen
Die Angriffe auf zivile Ziele in Gaza seien kein "tragisches Missgeschick", so Philipp Frisch von Human Rights Watch. Im PULS 24 Interview fordert er die internationale Gemeinschaft auf, mehr Druck au...
Angriffe auf zivile Ziele in Gaza sind kein "tragisches Missgeschick".
Palästinensische Medienschaffende werden in Gaza regelmäßig vorsätzlich ermordet.
Die israelischen Angriffe auf das Nasser-Krankenhaus sind nur das jüngste Beispiel dafür.

Q&A: Reparations for Historical and Ongoing Colonial Atrocities

@hrw.org published a Q&A on #reparations for historical & ongoing colonial atrocities ahead of a AU-CARICOM summit.
A unified African-Caribbean rights-based position on reparations shaped w civil society & communities would be a gamechanger for the reparations movement.

Zambia: South African Firm Transferring Toxic Lead
A South African-owned company is providing access to toxic lead-bearing waste in the Zambian city of Kabwe despite immense health risks for local residents.
New @hrw.org findings:
A South African firm has moved large amounts of toxic lead waste from a former mine dump in Zambia, putting the health of residents, esp. children, at risk.
The Zambian govt suspend these operations & protect residents' rights.

Zambia: Mining in Toxic Lead Waste Poisons Children
Zambia’s government is facilitating hazardous mining and processing of toxic lead waste in the city of Kabwe that poses major health risks to children.
Kabwe/ Zambia: Province & district authorities just closed 4 Chinese processing plants for environmental law violations.
This is a significant step by the Zambian govt. Processing lead-contaminated waste endangers resident's health.

Unakzeptabel: Bundesregierung will dt. Lieferkettengesetz massiv abschwächen + gibt Zivilgesellschaft 24 Std, die Änderungen zu kommentieren!
Das neue Gesetz würde DE weiter vom international anerkannten UN-Standard für Wirtschaft & Menschenrechte entfernen.

Map of the Gaza strip that shows 4 different aid distribution sites.
🚨 Israelische Streitkräfte haben Hunderte hungernde Palästinenser*innen getötet, während sie in #Gaza nach Essen gesucht haben.
Das sind keine Einzelfälle, sondern Kriegsverbrechen.

UK Plans AI Experiment on Children Seeking Asylum
The United Kingdom’s announcement on July 22 that it would use AI face-scanning technology to evaluate whether an asylum seeker is under age 18 threatens to harm children seeking refuge.
Did you know that the UK gov't is planning an AI experiment on children seeking asylum? 🤯
Experimenting with unproven tech to decide whether to protect a child is cruel and unconscionable. Do better, UK.

Desperate Pleas from Starving Palestinians Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Imagine watching your children cry inconsolably because their stomachs are cramping with emptiness and there’s nothing you can do. These are the desperate pleas coming out of Gaza.
The starvation of Palestinians, likely claiming thousands of lives, is entirely human-made. Germany / @diplo.de didn’t even join 28 states urging Israel to lift aid restrictions. But statements aren’t enough. States must act now. New from @hrw.org
