I said it to the Israeli representative to the UN at #UNGA78 & I will say it again: what is happening in #Gaza is a violation of international law & amounts to war crimes. Immediate international action is needed to stop these atrocities, & both sides must be held accountable.

Dear HRDs, my time as UN Special Rapporteur comes to an end today. You have been the beating heart of this mandate. Thank you for sharing your stories, struggles & victories with me over the past 6 years. It has been a privilege to witness your unwavering perseverance despite the danger you face. Here’s a look back at the work of the mandate from 2020-2026. With hope and solidarity, Mary

Shocked by the arrest of Montagnard HRD Y Quynh Bdap in Bangkok, who is at risk of refoulement to #Vietnam. If #Thailand extradites him to certain imprisonment, in violation of its domestic & int. obligations, it is not fit to be elected to the UN Human Rights Council later this year กระทรวงการต่างประเทศ | MFA of Thailand

At #HRC55 I welcomed #Pakistan's support to human rights defenders in India-administered #JammuKashmir but had to remind Pakistan Mission Geneva of the violations being committed by police against HRDs & WHRDs in #Balochistan in the context of the protests against enforced disappearances.

Since I started my mandate, I have repeatedly received information about repression of human rights defenders & their peaceful work in #Pakistan & #India. All states have an obligation to create an enabling environment for #HRDs & refrain from any retaliation against them #UNGA79
