20 years ago, Kofi Annan proposed the creation of the UN Human Rights Council. ⚖️💙

He shaped institutions—and inspired people.

The world misses him. A great leader who did lots for the UN and human rights around the world. 🌍🇺🇳

#HumanRights #KofiAnnan
Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan speaks in front of a large UN emblem. He is wearing a grey suit and tie, raising one hand while addressing an audience. The image includes a quote from him: “We will not enjoy security without development, we will not enjoy development without security, and we will not enjoy either without respect for human rights.”

Equality. Always. ♀️🌍💜

Bold white text on a purple background reads: "WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS" in all capital letters. Below the text, a small logo of the Human Rights Index features two raised fists. The design uses a strong, minimalist style with high contrast to emphasize the message.

What happened today isn’t just politics. ⚠️

Trump is reshaping the U.S. into a far-right, authoritarian state—favoring deals over values and aligning with autocrats worldwide.

A democracy without principles is just an oligarchy in disguise. 💔🇺🇸⚖️

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

Voting is a human right. Today in Germany, every vote shapes the future. 🗳️🇩🇪

Say no to hate. No to AfD. ❌🏛️

#Germany #NoToAfD #Democracy
A large crowd of protesters gathers outdoors, holding various signs and banners. One prominent sign in the center features the letters "AfD" crossed out in red, signaling opposition to the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland. A rainbow flag is visible in the background, along with other signs opposing extremism. Many demonstrators are wearing winter clothing, and the atmosphere appears determined and engaged.
