The Asylum Pact was a chance to fix a broken system. Although it promotes resettlement and increases solidarity, it falls short. It erodes the rights of asylum seekers and allows for locking up children. We are far from fixing the asylum system. Let’s work until we get it right.

⚡️The Eid prayer in Jabalia, northern Gaza, took place on the streets amidst heavy rains, as the Israelis destroyed all the mosques.

While presenting her compelling report in Parliament, UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt explains how the Israel government commits genocide under the disguise of humanitarian law. Long lasting impunity enables the destruction of the Palestinian people.

The death in custody of Walid Daqqa, a 62-year-old Palestinian writer who was the longest-serving Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails after 38 years of imprisonment, is a cruel reminder of Israel’s disregard for Palestinians’ right to life ⬇️

The Greens/EFA voted against this decision. These passports are being instrumentalised by Vucic to uphold a parallel institution and prevent successful integration of KS-Serbs. It would be a very wrong decision if the EU legitimizes this through visa liberalization.

As #Morocco leads United Nations Human Rights Council | #HRC55 & as Eid al-Fitr approaches, now is the time for the country to unconditionally release peaceful activist Nasser Zefzafi.

My visit to Bosnia has left me with concerns. Despite willingness to work towards accession, Dodik’ s actions threaten democracy and even security. We need a united response and be prepared to use all tools to preserve BiH’s integrity and citizens’ rights. n1info.ba/english/news/s…

While the opening of negotiations is a welcome step, this can only have a transformative effect combined with a credible EU/OHR deterrent for actors undermining BiH's peace and security such as Dodik.
