The head of the Human Rights Office, Bholkar Turk, says worldwide violent conflicts are increasing rapidly. The common man is deliberately targeted and hunger and rape are being used as a weapon of war. Nevertheless, “accountability is often absent.”
From Ukraine to Myanmar, they are pressing war countries at the depth of chaos and absence of law.
According to the OHCHR, the battle of power between the Sudan military forces has increased by three times the indiscriminate killing of ordinary people from February to April this year.
Bholkar Turk says Israel has made food a weapon in Gaza and has stopped living relief support.
He applied for “instant ceasefire and solution to two-nation”, where Gaza should be considered an integral part of the Palestinian nation of the future.
A UN senior official described the growing military excitement between Israel and Iran as “extremely worried” and said that diplomacy should be started immediately to reduce stress, stop attacking and find a way forward.
Civic society
According to the OHCR, at least 625 human rights activists and journalists were killed or disappeared worldwide in 2021. Ie a case every 14 hours.
The Human Rights High Commissioner has expressed concern that civil society and media are being defective, intimidated and mute in many parts of the world, while on the other hand, the accountability of the media and civil society plays an important role in the decision.
He attracted the attention that there were necessary measures to investigate and share human rights violations and misconduct cases, reduce violent conflicts and establish peace.
Bholkar Turk is unhappy that he was injured in an attack on international organizations, including the International Criminal Court (ICC).
“At the national, regional or international level, judges and prosecutors are punished for their duties, to attack the rule of law and weaken justice system.”
Minority torture
According to the OHCR, last year, one of the 5 countries faced the language and message and discrimination, from the immigrant to the opposition to the LGBTIQ+ community.
High Commissioner Turk said that discrimination is not rare or sudden. It spreads widely. For example, according to UN statistics, women face more discrimination than men.
Referring to the troubles of women and girls in Afghanistan, he said that the Taliban administration, therefore, is employed to implement the elimination of women and girls from public life.
The head of human rights has said that at this challenging phase we have to stand in favor of human rights, not only in words, but also in our actions.
