Around the world, violence is increasing. We must not become numb to appalling & repeated violations of international humanitarian & human rights law. Violations by one party don't absolve the other from compliance. All allegations demand urgent investigation & accountability.

A multipolar world requires multilateral solutions. In this new reality, the EU must defend the rules-based international order. Violations of international law must not be accepted, human rights violations must not be tolerated. Freedom and human rights cannot be achieved through bombs. Only international law upholds them.

Strong Condemnation of Indonesia’s Illegal Military Deployment in West Papua We strongly condemn the continued and escalating deployment of Indonesian military forces in West Papua. This military presence is illegal under international law and cannot be justified on the grounds of security or stability. The deployment is fundamentally driven by business and economic interests, particularly the exploitation of West Papua’s vast natural resources, rather than the protection or wellbeing of the Indigenous Papuan people. Military operations are strategically positioned to secure extractive projects, land control, and corporate interests, while Papuan communities face intimidation, displacement, human rights violations, and ongoing violence. West Papua remains an occupied territory, and Indonesia’s militarisation represents a clear violation of the Papuan people’s right to self-determination, as guaranteed under international law and the UN Charter. The use of military force to facilitate resource extraction constitutes a form of modern colonialism and must be urgently addressed by the international community. We call on the United Nations, regional bodies, and all states committed to human rights and international law to: •Demand an immediate halt to Indonesia’s military operations in West Papua •Ensure unrestricted access for UN human rights mechanisms, journalists, and humanitarian organisations •Hold Indonesia accountable for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law •Support a peaceful, just, and internationally mediated process that respects the rights and aspirations of the Papuan people Silence enables abuse. The people of West Papua deserve justice, peace, and the full recognition of their fundamental rights.

Across Azad Jammu & Kashmir, reports of police brutality, excessive use of force, arbitrary arrests, intimidation, unlawful raids, and violations of fundamental rights have become increasingly widespread. These incidents have left countless families traumatised and raise serious concerns about the rule of law and the protection of basic human rights. In this video, Dr Masood Khalid shares his own account of the police raid on his home and the treatment he says he and his family endured. His experience reflects the growing concerns being voiced by people across Azad Jammu & Kashmir. JKJAAC calls upon the international human rights organisations, and the wider international community to urgently monitor, investigate, and respond to the deteriorating human rights situation in Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Independent scrutiny, accountability, and justice are urgently needed. Those responsible for human rights violations must be held accountable in accordance with the law. No citizen should live in fear of those entrusted with upholding the law.

#Indonesia: We are following closely the spate of violence in the context of nationwide protests over parliamentary allowances, austerity measures, and alleged use of unnecessary or disproportionate force by security forces. We stress the importance of dialogue to address the public’s concerns. The authorities must uphold the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression while maintaining order, in line with international norms and standards, in relation to the policing of public assemblies. All security forces, including the military when deployed in a law enforcement capacity, must comply with the basic principles on the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials. We call for prompt, thorough, and transparent investigations into all alleged violations of international human rights law, including with respect to use of force. It is also important that the media is permitted to report on events freely and independently. ➡️

The #USA has justified its intervention in #Venezuela citing the Venezuelan government's record of human rights violations, but accountability for human rights violations cannot be achieved through unilateral military intervention that violates international law. We fear that the current instability & increased militarisation due to the US intervention will further worsen the situation in Venezuela. The future of Venezuela must be determined solely by the Venezuelan people, with full respect for their human rights, incl. the right to self-determination & sovereignty over their lives and resources. ➡️
