Three years after the deadly Hamas-led attacks of 7 October and the start of Israel’s brutal military assault on Gaza Palestinian civilians continue to endure catastrophic suffering amid Israel's ongoing genocide. Justice for victims of all crimes in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory remains out of reach. The world must stop turning its back on humanity. States must act now to end the genocide, halt arms transfers, dismantle Israel’s system of apartheid and unlawful occupation, and support justice for all victims.

Artificial intelligence has dominated the news cycle this week, raising questions about how we govern these powerful tools. @Amnesty is calling for an international regulatory framework that is not controlled by just a few powerful states and companies. We, instead need a human rights based, international and multistakeholder approach that is inclusive. States must immediately insist on a pause to the development and deployment of the most harmful AI technologies.

This decision is designed to punish the State of Palestine for pursuing international justice and accountability at international institutions. It must be reversed! bit.ly/4cRPkip

The fossil fuel industry has delayed, deflected and denied responsibility. BUT it is not too late. Governments must protect us, by embarking on a just transition away from fossil fuels.

🔥Our planet is warming faster than ever, and the burning of fossil fuels like oil and gas is the major reason why. Climate change is NOT just an environmental issue. It's a human rights issue: It affects our health, our homes, our livelihoods, and ultimately - our survival.

We all have the right to live safely & with dignity. But climate change is putting billions of lives at risk. From devastating wildfires around the world to floods triggered by a glacier collapse in Nepal, the impacts are already harming communities today theguardian.com/science/2026…

As the demand for generative AI has snowballed, the scale of their development has spun out of control. Complex supply chains are required to power these systems, presenting us with a trail of human rights risks at every production step. These design choices must be challenged.
