At today's landmark #DisruptingGenocide conference, we shared lessons learned and reaffirmed JBI's resolve to advocate at the #UN and beyond to ensure the attempted destruction of the #Uyghur people will be acknowledged, mourned, rejected, and finally brought to an end.

As #Sudan marks 1 year since devastating war began, we repeat our alarm at governments’ failure to protect millions enduring violence, particularly non-Arab groups in Darfur facing identity-based killing & rape signaling a risk of #genocide again. Greater resolve urgently needed.

At today's #Kwibuka30 conference United Nations HQ we joined in reflection on the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in #Rwanda . We recall our shared obligation to speak out against & press for effective action to counter identity-based hatred & violence & ensure genocide education everywhere.

A poignant appeal marking 2 years since Kara-Murza’s detention in Russia. He and all political prisoners unjustly detained should be released immediately. justsecurity.org/94473/russian-…

We welcome the UN #HumanRights Council's decision to extend the Commission of Inquiry on #Ukraine 's mandate. Independent documentation of #Russia 's egregious wartime violations - including 'widespread and systematic use of torture,' rape, & abduction of children - must continue.

Today, the UN #HumanRights  Council extended its Fact-Finding Mission & Special Rapporteur on #Iran , ensuring much-needed monitoring of manifold violations, including systematic discrimination vs. women & girls & Baha’is, will continue. Now States must ensure accountability, too.

#Iran FFM Chair Hossain powerfully rebuts Iran's representative's claim that the report contains 'undocumented' allegations, noting that 6 victims of targeted blinding of protesters are present & suggesting that appeals for 'dignity' and 'respect' should be applied to them. 2/3

UN COI on #Ukraine 's new #Human Rights report details violations by Russian forces, e.g. 'systematic' torture incl. “relentless, brutal treatment' of Ukrainian POWs 'for almost entire duration of detention,' w/ superiors' knowledge leading to “impunity.” ohchr.org/sites/default/…
