The new rush on minerals carries massive human rights risks and has already caused harm to people and planet.

Colombia’s initiative at #UNEA7 is a chance to change course. With 50+ partners, we @hrw.org encourage Colombia to pursue its goal for a global binding agreement on mineral supply chains.

Mineral demand is surging. Without safeguards, communities & ecosystems will pay the price.

Colombia’s initiative at #UNEA7 is a chance to change course. With partners, we encourage it to submit its resolution by 29 Sept so it can be debated in Dec.

Illicit gold trade funds abusive armed groups in Venezuela & other conflicts.

A new gold industry requirement by the London Bullion Market Assiciation for global gold refiners could help shed light on these illicit trade routes, a first step towards ending them.

New Industry Requirements Could Disrupt Abusive Armed Groups’ Trade in Gold
Deep in the forest in Venezuela’s Bolivar state, residents live in fear of horrific violence at the hands of armed groups involved in the illicit gold trade.

Eine Kommission der Vereinten Nationen hat festgestellt, dass Israel in Gaza Völkermord begeht.

Da die israelische Regierung ihre Angriffe auf Gaza-Stadt weiter verschärft und die noch verbliebene zivile Infrastruktur Gazas zerstört, haben alle Staaten die Pflicht, zu handeln.

In Abwesenheit konkreter internationaler Maßnahmen versuchen Flotillas, die illegale Blockade Israels von #Gaza zu durchbrechen.

Die Angriffe auf die Global Sumud #Flotilla in Tunis machen deutlich, dass Regierungen die Aktivist*innen besser schützen müssen.

New @hrw.org findings:

A South African firm has moved large amounts of toxic lead waste from a former mine dump in Zambia, putting the health of residents, esp. children, at risk.

The Zambian govt suspend these operations & protect residents' rights.

Kabwe/ Zambia: Province & district authorities just closed 4 Chinese processing plants for environmental law violations.

This is a significant step by the Zambian govt. Processing lead-contaminated waste endangers resident's health.

Unakzeptabel: Bundesregierung will dt. Lieferkettengesetz massiv abschwächen + gibt Zivilgesellschaft 24 Std, die Änderungen zu kommentieren!

Das neue Gesetz würde DE weiter vom international anerkannten UN-Standard für Wirtschaft & Menschenrechte entfernen.

🚨 Israelische Streitkräfte haben Hunderte hungernde Palästinenser*innen getötet, während sie in #Gaza nach Essen gesucht haben.
Das sind keine Einzelfälle, sondern Kriegsverbrechen.

Did you know that the UK gov't is planning an AI experiment on children seeking asylum? 🤯

Experimenting with unproven tech to decide whether to protect a child is cruel and unconscionable. Do better, UK.

Here's my latest with @abacci.bsky.social:

The United Kingdom’s announcement on July 22 that it would use AI face-scanning technology to evaluate whether an asylum seeker is under age 18 threatens to harm children seeking refuge.
