11 July – Srebrenica. Never Forget. Today we remember the more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys murdered in the Srebrenica genocide in July 1995.

There is no place in the European Union for genocide denial or https://t.co/uK9Xwikntv #Srebrenica #NeverForget #GenocideJustice #BA #EU

Human rights are not negotiable. AI must never strip away dignity or entrench discrimination. And in every high-stakes decision – in justice, in healthcare, in policing – machines can inform, but humans must decide & answer. #HumanRights #Dignity #AIethics #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetprovided.Therefore #theresponseis:

Proud to join @bpkaracsonyg once again ahead of the Pride. As we celebrate diversity and freedom, we shine a light on the European Court of Justice’s ruling on the so-called “Child Protection Law”. There can be no compromise on the rights and dignity of LGBTIQ+ people in 🇪🇺 https://t.co/YOA3BWl7L9 #Pride #LGBTIQ #HumanRights #EU

In 2021, after Hungary’s “child protection” law, we chose not to publish the original version of this photo. Today, five years later, I finally can. Not to provoke, but to remind us that love, dignity and acceptance should never be controversial. #loveislove https://t.co/tiZoBNf9sO #loveislove #acceptance #dignity #HU

US laws and institutions didn’t provide the most important protection against monarchy and madness. The real guardrails were manners, dignity, decency. Politicians feared disgrace, to appall supporters, with behavior too regal and repugnant. But not Trump https://t.co/IBh1Dfa0R2 #Decency #Dignity #Trump #US

Statement on the Future of Jammu & Kashmir ( Under Pakistan Occupation) and the 28th Constitutional Amendment I firmly believe that if Pakistan genuinely seeks peace, stability, and democratic governance in the territories under its administration, including so-called Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, it must immediately withdraw the 28th Constitutional Amendment and refrain from any measures that further undermine the political, administrative, and territorial integrity of the region. Any attempt to alter the constitutional status of these territories without the free, prior, and informed consent of their people is contrary to democratic principles and the universally recognized right of peoples to determine their own political future. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are not merely subjects of administrative decisions; they are stakeholders whose voices, aspirations, and rights must be respected. The reported efforts to restructure, divide, or trifurcate the region are deeply concerning. Such actions risk creating further political instability, social unrest, and mistrust among the population. The territorial unity and historical identity of Jammu and Kashmir must not be compromised through unilateral constitutional or administrative measures imposed from above. Peace cannot be achieved through coercive policies, excessive securitization, suppression of dissent, communication restrictions, or the curtailment of civil and political freedoms. Sustainable peace can only emerge through democratic dialogue, respect for fundamental human rights, transparency, accountability, and meaningful participation of the people in decisions affecting their future. The recent developments in Rawalakot and other districts have already heightened tensions and raised serious concerns regarding civil liberties, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and the treatment of peaceful political activists. Instead of imposing constitutional changes and expanding centralized control, the authorities should engage constructively with local communities, political organizations, civil society groups, and human rights defenders. International human rights standards, including the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and international human rights instruments, emphasize the importance of participation, representation, and respect for the wishes of the people. Any constitutional arrangement affecting the future of Jammu and Kashmir should be based on democratic consultation and broad public consensus rather than unilateral imposition. I therefore call upon the Government of Pakistan to: 1. Immediately withdraw the 28th Constitutional Amendment. 2. Abandon any plans aimed at the trifurcation or fragmentation of Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. 3. Respect the democratic and political rights of the people. 4. End policies of intimidation, collective punishment, and restrictions on peaceful political activity. 5. Ensure unrestricted access to essential commodities, healthcare services, communication networks, and humanitarian assistance. 6. Initiate an inclusive dialogue with all genuine stakeholders, including representatives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. 7. Allow independent national and international human rights observers to assess the situation on the ground. The future of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be determined through force, constitutional engineering, or administrative decrees. Lasting peace, stability, and prosperity will only be possible when the rights, dignity, and aspirations of the people are placed at the center of all political processes. No trifurcation. No unilateral constitutional changes. Respect the will of the people and uphold democratic principles.

For many Ukrainians, faith is also a force of resistance. A source of courage, dignity, and unity in the face of Russia’s brutal aggression. That is why the Kremlin attacks not only Ukraine’s people and cities, but also its spiritual heritage such as the Lavra monastery. Today, https://t.co/h9w9AAYwHp #Ukraine #Faith #Resistance #UA #RU

The justice system looked me in the eye and said, 'If you weren't famous, there would never have been a case,' I chose to remain silent for years. I believed that maintaining my dignity, being patient, and trusting in the justice system would allow the right decisions to be made. Today, a story that isn't mine is being told at the expense of my family, my life, and above all, the truth. I sometimes feel like I've become an easy target. I've been waiting for this trial since day one. And now I'm eagerly awaiting it. Finally, I'll be able to speak.

In our digital age, hate speech spreads faster than ever. It’s the first step down the path of dehumanization that leads to violence, conflict & atrocity crimes. Let’s reject prejudice in all its forms & work together to build a world based on human rights, dignity & respect. #NoHate #HumanRights #EndPrejudice #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
