🔵 We’re proud to launch the piloting phase of the Stigma in Justice project — a multi-country initiative to improve justice outcomes for #CRSVsurvivors. Building on the CARSV Stigma Toolkit, it strengthens justice systems’ capacity to address #stigma that obstructs access to justice for survivors.

🔵 Only 2 out of 10 members of the UN Committee against Torture are women. As States prepare for the 2025 Convention Against Torture elections, this stark imbalance must be urgently addressed. Gender imbalance risks overlooking gendered forms of torture, including sexual violence. #justice #CAT

🔵 For more than 77 years, #Israel has systematically sought to kill or displace the #Palestinian people from their land. Every aspect of Israeli policy in the OPT is aimed at shifting the demographic composition to favour Jewish Israeli settlers.

🔵 What’s the difference between the ICJ hearings and the ICC arrest warrants?

🔵 What are the key legal issues to watch at the ICJ hearings on #Palestine this week?
As States present their arguments, several legal questions arise, particularly around UNRWA’s legal protections, Israel’s obstruction of aid, and its responsibilities under both humanitarian and human rights law.

According to the Ukrainian government, over 19,500 children have been identified as unlawfully deported to Russia—only a small number have been returned. Many are sent to so-called “re-education” camps or placed with Russian families, severed from their communities.

Israel’s practice of withholding Palestinian bodies—necropolitics—seeks to control not only Palestinian life, but also death and mourning. Bodies are held for years, remains mishandled, funerals restricted. As Israel negotiates over hostages and remains, this policy persists.
