#USA: Proud to have joined thousands of lawyers today as we reaffirmed our professional oath to uphold the rule of law. This non-partisan effort of bar associations and lawyers across the country aims to protect judicial independence and the autonomy of the legal profession.

With SR Iran and SR EJEs, I call on Iran to halt the execution of Behrouz Ehsani & Mehdi Hassani, whose death sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court, following trials reportedly marred by torture and forced confessions.

@UN_SPExperts are in contact with Iranian authorities on this matter.

#Russia / #Ukraine: Without guarantees for #HumanRights and justice, there can be no peace, warn UN experts as Russia’s aggression against Ukraine enters its 4th year & discussions intensify about settling the war without Ukraine’s participation.
