US sanctions on @IntlCrimCourt aim to destroy it, grant impunity to perpetrators, & deny justice to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity, & war crimes
The EU and its states must actively protect the Court by activating the EU Blocking Statute.
Next week's Foreign Affairs Council and European Council will be vital for a unified EU response.

This resolution represents a serious escalation in Islamophobia, disinformation & hate speech within the @EUparliament
People across Europe want dignity, acceptance, safety, jobs, housing & schools
Politics of fear & division are a dangerous distraction

Parliament urged greater vigilance against Islamist entryism, including funding controls, scrutiny of networks, and stronger cross-border cooperation.

French authorities must act upon their human rights obligations and stop the disproportionate police response seen in recent days to student protests
Call from @Amnesty International said ahead of today’s planned nationwide demonstrations. amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
📢 @amnistiamexico's @Norma_GonAI & Adriana Sánchez Gómez met EU & member state officials in Brussels.
On the agenda: Mexico's crisis of disappearances.
133,000+ people are disappeared or missing in Mexico, affecting the disappeared, their families & communities.
Our calls to the EU?
👉Keep disappearances high on the EU & member state agenda with Mexico, from summits to HR dialogues
👉Lend full diplomatic & technical support to women searching for disappeared loved ones & to Mexico's protection mechanism for rights defenders to help them
Families & communities of the disappeared face persistent human rights violations that do not cease until they find the whereabouts of the disappeared person.
Crucial reading for EU & member state officials & all who care about human rights in Mexico🇲🇽

Greece: The criminal charges against Panayote Dimitras and Tommy Olsen are a gross misuse of anti-smuggling legislation and are not backed by evidence amn.st/6015BGv819
🚨 @ICEgov must be abolished immediately.
A new investigation by @amnestyusa @amnesty
documents a chilling pattern of human rights violations in the @POTUS administration's immigration operations.
amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
👉Arbitrary & discriminatory detentions
👉Excessive and lethal use of force
👉Unlawful killings
👉Suppression of protests
👉Illegal surveillance
👉Detention conditions that should be investigated as torture, and
👉Possible forced disappearances.
These are not isolated incidents.
They are part of a recurring pattern of abuses sowing fear in entire communities.
When an institution operates with violence, racism & impunity, reforming it is not enough.
We demand accountability for abuses & an immigration system based on rights & dignity.
Time to #AbolishICE.
📣@Sihanet's @Halayalkarib and @amnesty's Sudan team met EU and member state officials in Brussels.
Their message? The war in Sudan is a war on civilians.
As EU, Latin American & Caribbean leaders meet around UNGA81, security is on everyone's mind.
@amnesty & 13 other organizations share concerns that securitization of politics & policies is being misused to target rights defenders & civil society, and undermine the rule of law.
CELAC and EU leaders must be clear. There can be no sustainable security, responsible value chains & sustainable development goals without human rights.
Both sides must
➡️Commit to protect civic space & rule of law
➡️Act for mutual accountability in upholding rights commitments

⚽Israel’s participation in the UEFA Nations League is a betrayal
Despite clear evidence that Israel’s football association continues to support illegal settlements, Israel's men’s football team will participate in the UEFA Nations League this autumn. amn.st/6017BGdzID
🚨New @amnesty briefing🚨
In eastern DRC, Rwanda-backed M23 fighters have been forcing miners to work in coltan mines, often underground for over a week at a time.
Minerals linked to M23 abuses are prevalent in electronic devices used worldwide.
amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
The EU & its member states must press M23 to stop all abuses in mining sites it controls, including Rubaya & Lomera mines.
And press Rwanda to ensure Rwandans have no role in abusive mining operations – if they do, they should be investigated and held to account.
