“I do not see why Parliament was not read in to the situation… so they could exercise that oversight and scrutiny”

Mike Martin MP says the Afghan data leak + superinjunction expose a wider MoD culture of cover-up. Without democratic scrutiny, accountability suffers. Afghanistan is a case in point.

1/2 What does today's #StrategicDefenceReview mean for civilians? Increased military capability can bring increased risks. It’s vital that #CivilianRights, protection and accountability are at the heart of defence policy, ensuring that the UK upholds its responsibilities under international law.

Репарації — це законне право кожного постраждалого від війни. Відшкодування збитків допомагає людям відновити власне життя. Репарації мають йти далі за відбудову фізичної інфраструктури, зосереджуватися на відновленні психічного й фізичного здоров’я і визнавати, що деякі втрати — непоправні.

Our new campaign for #Ukraine reparations highlights that reparations are a legal right – offering key resources, details on existing registers, and supporting civil society in advocating for effective #reparations for affected civilians.

#HRC58 Side event on reparations for #Ukraine.

Commissioner Pablo de Greiff: 'I beg the international community to make itself much more present in providing assistance and cooperation in those [non-judicial] dimensions of accountability, which for the victims are unpostponable.'

Join us at #HRC58 for a side event on reparations for victims of Russia's aggression against #Ukraine.

We'll discuss the latest findings of the CoI on Ukraine and examine pathways to holistic, inclusive #reparations, starting from the perspectives of victims and survivors.
