The global human rights situation is deteriorating. Impunity has emboldened autocrats and war criminals.
We must stop impunity - at home and abroad.
The work of NGOs and Human Rights Defenders is irreplaceable and must be supported.
The EU will continue doing its part.

We must call out human rights situations that are not on the front pages:
Almost 800.000 people killed in the war in #Tigray
The savage reality for the people of #Afghanistan, especially women & girls
1,450 political prisoners in #Belarus
They deserve #accountability.

Nothing justifies what Putin is doing in #Ukraine.
Putting people into the cold & darkness, in the middle of winter.
Kidnapping and forcibly deporting children.
Shelling civilians.
These are crimes against humanity.
There can be no peace without justice. We must stop impunity
