Human Rights Campaign

The human rights group Monitor has accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians in its military campaign in Gaza, according to a report carried by Shafaq News. The allegation adds to ongoing international scrutiny of civilian casualties in the territory and is likely to fuel debate over compliance with international humanitarian law.

UN human rights experts have warned that the Trump administration's deportations of migrants to third countries violate international human rights law. The warning, reported by the Guardian, adds to growing international criticism of US immigration policy, with campaigners and officials raising concerns about the treatment and safety of those sent to countries they have no ties to.

Trade unions and human rights organisations across the European Union are calling on national governments to cut ties with Palantir, the US data analytics firm, arguing it is 'not just another tech company'. The campaign targets public contracts involving the company's surveillance and data-processing services, citing concerns over privacy, civil liberties and the outsourcing of sensitive government work to a foreign military-linked contractor.

The head of the Human Rights Campaign has compared US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to lynch mobs, invoking the legacy of the civil rights movement in the criticism. The remarks add to ongoing controversy over ICE enforcement tactics, with civil rights groups voicing alarm while supporters of the agency's operations push back sharply.

Yemen's Human Rights Commission has condemned Saudi-led airstrikes, denouncing them as aggression and calling attention to civilian harm in the conflict. The statement adds to ongoing international debate over the Saudi-led coalition's air campaign in Yemen, with rights groups repeatedly urging accountability and protection of civilians as the war continues.

A broad coalition of civil society organisations has publicly condemned the outgoing government, accusing it of instrumentalising secularism during the election campaign. The statement argues that secular principles are being used as a political tool rather than defended on their own merits. The condemnation adds a human rights dimension to the campaign debate as the vote approaches.
