“Human rights are not West or East, North or South.
They are not a luxury — they are not negotiable.
They are the foundation of a more peaceful and secure world.”
— UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres
“Palestinians are still dying from Israeli fire, cold, hunger & treatable diseases. The aid allowed in is not enough to meet the massive needs.” @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk stresses a sustainable solution rests on two states living side by side in equal dignity & rights.
Around the world, domination and supremacy are making a comeback — but people’s pursuit of dignity, equality, and justice is unshakeable. Human rights are radical, and they are powerful.
My remarks to the @UN_HRC: ohchr.org/en/statements-
"The situation in Gaza remains catastrophic. Palestinians are still dying
from Israeli fire, cold, hunger, and treatable diseases. The aid
allowed in is not enough to meet the massive needs. There are concerns
over ethnic cleansing in both Gaza and the West Bank, where Israel is
accelerating efforts to consolidate unlawful annexation. Any sustainable
solution must be based on two states living side by side in equal
dignity and rights, in line with UN resolutions and international law." https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements-and-speeches/2026/02/high-commissioner-turk-opens-human-rights-council-peoples-pursuit

In #Gaza, forced displacement continues, with around two-thirds of the population living in overcrowded sites, often in tents that offer limited protection from the elements.
Conditions remain severe, with limited access to services and ongoing insecurity.
Humanitarian needs continue to grow, with shortages of food, water, and medicines. Sustained access for aid remains critical.
We need a Security Council that reflects today’s world – not the world of 1945.
When vetoes become political cover, when geopolitical rivalries override the protection of civilians, the result is the same:
Impunity grows. Suffering multiplies. And human rights are trampled.
