UN CALLS FOR THE CRIMES OF M23 & KAGAME'S RDF TO BE RECOGNIZED AS GENOCIDE: "M23 together with Rwanda's RDF have committed grave crimes against humanity: Mass Murder, Torture, Rape, Sexual Slavery, Severe Deprivation of Freedom" declares United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights⤵️(translated from Daniel Michombero /Batubenga) War in the East of #RDC 🇨🇩: High Commissioner for Human Rights calls for recognition of genocide and urgent international action. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, urged on Wednesday, September 9, the Human Rights Council and international community to acknowledge the severity of the crimes committed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and to take action to curb the deadly violence that has been tearing apart the east of the country for decades. “It is time for this Council and the international community to act to stop the violence, protect victims, and ensure justice,” declared Volker Türk, calling on member states to provide adequate support to the Commission of Inquiry tasked with documenting the crimes and laying the groundwork for justice. The statement comes in a context where reports from the United Nations and NGOs denounce massive human rights violations in the DRC. A report published in early September by the UN concluded that the M23 rebels, as well as the Congolese armed forces and other armed groups, could be responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Last July, the M23 was accused of massacring more than 300 civilians, including women and children, near Virunga National Park. These acts of violence add to a long list of atrocities recorded for years in eastern DRC, where civilians bear the heaviest toll of a conflict fueled by geopolitical and economic interests. The High Commissioner’s call is part of a movement aimed at recognizing the crimes committed in the DRC as genocide. For several Congolese and international actors, such recognition would: • strengthen international mobilization against the violence, • accelerate the implementation of judicial mechanisms, • and ensure reparations and remembrance for the victims, as already recommended by the United Nations Mapping Project published in 2010. In urging member states to support the Commission of Inquiry, Volker Türk emphasizes the need to break the cycle of impunity. “This is about laying the foundations for justice for the countless victims of the conflict in the DRC,” he insisted in Geneva. This plea places the international community face-to-face with its responsibilities: to translate words into actions through concrete support for investigations, the protection of civilian populations, and the establishment of a transitional justice framework. As the DRC continues to suffer large-scale violence, the question of recognizing the genocide could mark a historic turning point. However, its realization will depend on the political will of UN member states, often torn between diplomatic considerations and the imperatives of justice.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine demands that all persons guilty of kidnapping Ukrainian citizens, their ill-treatment, pressure, intimidation, and abuse, the denial of access to consular assistance and medications, depriving them of communication, and other violations of their rights, as well as theft of the property and valuables of Oschadbank, be brought to justice. The Hungarian side knew that the cash-in-transit guards were unarmed, yet the detention of Ukrainian citizens was carried out by Hungary's Counter Terrorism Centre. An armored personnel carrier was used during the detention, and the TEK officers involved were armed with machine guns and grenade launchers," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has revealed details of the detention of seven Ukrainians captured by Hungary, which indicate that physical and psychological pressure was exerted on the detainees, as well as violations of international legal obligations by Budapest. The detainees had the status of witnesses, but they were transported blindfolded and in handcuffs. It should be noted that such actions by the Hungarian intelligence agencies constitute torture within the meaning of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is known that the Hungarian side confiscated the guards' personal belongings, including mobile phones, so the detainees were unable to inform their relatives or employer of their whereabouts. Most of the personal belongings confiscated during the arrest were not returned to the bank workers. One of the detainees, who has diabetes, experienced a deterioration in his health. Medical assistance was provided only after he lost consciousness and had to be taken to a hospital. The detained bank workers were not allowed to give testimony in their native language, and they were spoken to in Russian. In addition, the Ukrainian citizens were also denied access to legal counsel, nor were they allowed to meet with the Ukrainian consul, despite requests from the embassy and the detainees. The employees of the involved Hungarian services allowed the consul to be present during investigative actions involving the detainees, but ultimately provided false information about the whereabouts of the Ukrainians. According to the Foreign Ministry, these facts indicate gross violations by Hungary of its international legal obligations, in particular the European Convention on Human Rights and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Oschadbank and the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry are demanding that Hungary return the bank's valuables and the vehicles used for their transportation. The National Bank of Ukraine has proposed that the European Commission act as an independent arbiter in the case of the bank workers abducted by Hungary. 📹: bbc_ua/Instagram

35% Increase in Sexual Assaults Against Women and Girls in Afghanistan Under Taliban Rule : A new research conducted by the Afghanistan Women and Children Strengthen Welfare Organization ( AWCSWO ) Human Rights Organization titled "Justice and Afghanistan Women" reveals a worrying 35% increase in sexual assaults by Taliban members against women and girls in Afghanistan. This research, conducted across 25 provinces (Takhar, Sar-e Pol, Jowzjan, Baghlan, Kunduz, Balkh, Daikundi, Badakhshan, Bamyan, Parwan, Ghor, Farah, Samangan, Faryab, Nangarhar, Kandahar, Maidan Wardak, Kabul, Urozgan, Kapisa, Nimruz, Herat, Paktia, Helmand, and Ghazni), portrays a deep and shocking tragedy. The research shows that from September 1, 2023, to September 1, 2024, the number of sexual assault cases by Taliban members reached 132, compared to 97 cases in the same period last year, indicating a 35% increase. These figures may represent only the tip of the iceberg, hiding the painful and concealed realities occurring under the shadow of Taliban terror and repression. This research was conducted through interviews with 1,400 individuals, including victims of assault, their family members, tribal elders, civil activists, local journalists, and protesting women (all interviewed under conditions of anonymity). Additionally, brief questionnaires were used with leaders of protest movements and well-known women's rights activists, emphasizing the alarming and worrisome increase in sexual assaults by Taliban members against women and girls. The findings reveal that the majority of these crimes (sexual assaults by Taliban members on women and girls) occurred in rural areas, which are heavily controlled by the Taliban, where access is extremely limited and international oversight is practically non-existent. This geographical focus highlights the depth of the crisis and the questionable failure of the international community to support the fundamental rights of Afghanistan women and girls. The analysis of the research data indicates that various factors have contributed to the increase in sexual violence by Taliban fighters against women and girls in Afghanistan, the most prominent of which are: -Social Taboos and Cultural Shame: In Afghanistan culture, particularly in rural areas, victims of sexual assault, despite their innocence, face severe social consequences and ostracism. These deeply rooted cultural taboos embolden the perpetrators and discourage victims from reporting these crimes due to fear of shame and retribution. - Systematic Intimidation and Repression: The Taliban uses sexual violence as a tool to suppress and control society. This approach has kept the community in a state of constant fear and passivity, creating a dangerously conducive environment for the increase in these crimes. The findings show that the Taliban threatens victims and their families with death and imprisonment, silencing them from exposing these crimes. - Complete Impunity: Over the past three years, none of the Taliban fighters, especially the powerful members of the group who committed sexual assaults, have faced genuine legal prosecution. This absolute immunity from any legal consequences significantly contributes to the rise in sexual assaults, fostering a deep-seated cycle of violence and injustice. Moreover, the research emphasizes the lack of minimal medical and psychological support for victims, noting that the Taliban's restrictive policies, especially in rural areas, make access to essential services practically impossible for victims. This situation, coupled with the fear of shame and the potential for repeated crimes, has led in some cases to victims committing suicide—a tragedy that reveals the deep wounds caused by this violence. Given the scale and depth of the crisis, the Afghanistan Women and Children Strengthen Welfare Organiztion ( AWCSWO )Human Rights organization stresses that the presented statistics reflect only
