🕊️ Twenty years of the UN Human Rights Council!

For two decades, the Council has worked to promote and protect human rights around the world — giving victims a voice, documenting abuses through independent investigations, and shining a global spotlight on concerns that would otherwise go unheard.

Its impact is measured in people's lives:
✅ Steps toward abolishing the death penalty in a growing number of countries
✅ Stronger protections for women, children, Indigenous Peoples, migrants, persons with disabilities, and many others
✅ Political activists and human rights defenders released from arbitrary detention
✅ Recognition of the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment

Lives protected. Rights defended. Justice pursued. Hope renewed. 💙

Twenty years of advancing human rights — for everyone, everywhere.

This week, the United Nations Human Rights Chief launched the Global Alliance for Human Rights – an alliance for all those who care deeply about our rights and our future.

The Alliance is a way of bringing back hope at a time of complex challenges. It represents the vast majority of people who want safety, fairness, and dignity for all.

It is a community of governments, civil society, business, cities, philanthropies, academics, artists, philosophers, athletes, young people.

A future that belongs to all must be built on something that unites us. And that is human rights!

External funding cuts, a strong push back on human rights and under investment and under prioritization of HIV prevention and community services are threatening to reverse years of gains in the AIDS response, shows new UNAIDS report.

The HIV response has been the most successful story in global health over the last 25 years, AIDS-related deaths have been reduced by 56% from 1.3 million in 2010 to 570 000 in 2025. New infections have been reduced by 43% since 2010 to 1.2 million, and 78% of the 40.9 million people living with HIV are now on treatment (32.1 million).

But this success is fragile—nearly 9 million people are not on treatment. At a time when external funding is reducing, treatment gains are extremely fragile. Western and central Africa, for example, is around 90% dependent on external funding for its HIV treatment programmes. Without sustained external financing and increased domestic resources, there is a serious risk of treatment interruptions—which will mean rising deaths and rising new infections.

Since 2000, child labour has almost halved: from 246 million to 138 million, yet current rates remain too slow, and the world has fallen short of reaching the 2025 global elimination target.

Sub-Saharan Africa continues to carry the heaviest burden, accounting for nearly two-thirds of all children in child labour – around 87 million.

According to the data, agriculture remains the largest sector for child labour, accounting for 61% of all cases, followed by services (27%), like domestic work and selling goods in markets, and industry (13%), including mining and manufacturing.

Today is World Day Against Child Labour.

In August 2025, the United Nations established two pathbreaking mechanisms for global cooperation on AI: the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence and the Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance. Together, they translate shared principles into practice by bridging scientific evidence, policy dialogue, and international cooperation.

The first session of the AI Dialogue will take place in Geneva on 6 and 7 July.

It's because of war.
It's because of violence.
It's because of persecution.
It’s a heartbreaking decision that 41.6 million people have made to flee across borders to find safety.
