Der Startschuss für die Formulierung eines rechtsverbindlichen UN-Vertrags zu den Rechten #Älterer ist gefallen! 🎉

Bei seiner heutigen Sitzung hat der #UN-Menschenrechtsrat der Gründung einer zwischenstaatlichen Arbeitsgruppe einstimmig zugestimmt.

Wir empfehlen der Bundesregierung, die UN-Resolution bis zum 18. April zu unterzeichnen und sich aktiv an der Erarbeitung des rechtsverbindlichen Dokuments zu beteiligen.

Institut für MenschenrechteMenschenrechtsinstitut begrüßt Startschuss für UN-Menschenrechtsvertrag zu den Rechten ÄltererUm Schutzlücken zu schließen, braucht es einen rechtsverbindlichen Vertrag. Die Bundesregierung ist aufgefordert, den internationalen Prozess zu unterstützen.

Even representatives of the 🔵 UN bodies like OCHA look and talk like robots. The world knows, that it's a violation of international law and international humanitarian law, but it's not possible for officials to not just express concerns but to demand actions. Their indifference comes across like it's an "ordinary war situation", when it's an overt #genocide.
I have a problem w/this demeanor.

The Telegraph | #Israel has been accused of executing Palestinian paramedics after bodies were found in a mass grave with their hands tied and bullet wounds to the head.

In what would amount to a serious war crime if proven, some 15 people from a number of groups are alleged to have been killed by the IDF. Their bodies were recovered from a shallow grave on Sunday after a week-long rescue operation, according to the #UN .
