UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk calls for immediate action on AI governance to tackle unprecedented #HumanRights risks. Industry co-regulation is urgently needed but on its own is nowhere near sufficient. States hosting leading frontier AI companies also have an obligation to require those companies to act responsibly and hold them accountable if they do not. “We are on the cusp of irreversible change, affecting not just us but generations of humanity to come.” ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

The State of Palestine co-sponsored the resolution and the Palestinian people stand in solidarity with the millions of African victims of trafficking and racialised chattel enslavement. May this injustice never be perpetrated again; may its enduring racial, economic, ecological and political harms end; and may its victims find reparatory justice and accountability.

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity. 123 in favour 3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina) 52 abstentions The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent. #sabcnews

Here's how the Longueuil police force analyzes police stops. I don't want to nitpick, but "biological affinity" is not a thing. We stopped talking about biological races after WWII b/c they don't exist. Also, "Oriental" is a surprising term to hear for a person under 90.

UN Committee to Canada: Do More to Curb Arms Exports to Israel IHRP/GHRC submission to top international women’s rights body prompts callout of Canadian inaction on maternal care deprivations in Gaza

ALT UN Committee to Canada: Do More to Curb Arms Exports to Israel IHRP/GHRC submission to top international women’s rights body prompts callout of Canadian inaction on maternal care deprivations in Gaza

In September, we submitted a report to the UN CEDAW Committee linking Canadian arms exports to violations of women’s maternal care rights in Gaza. At every stage of their pregnancy journey Palestinian women in Gaza face violence and human rights violations due to targeted attacks and other operations by Israeli forces. 100% of maternity hospitals have been damaged by IDF attacks While Canada has stopped issuing permits to export arms to Israel, Canadian arms are still being routed to Israel through the US, which supplies 70% of Israel’s arms imports. This is because Canadian arms exports to the US do not require a permit.

The CEDAW Committee incorporated criticism of Canada’s inaction on arms exports to Israel into its Concluding Observations. The Committee echoed the concerns raised by our report - which was endorsed by almost 50 civil society organizations - about direct or indirect Canadian arms exports to Israel being used to facilitate violations of women’s rights in Gaza. This marks the first time a major UN body has specifically called out Canada on this issue.
