Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin

Europe: Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision betrays humanity and exposes blatant double standards

Ahead of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals, in which Israel will participate, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Agnès Callamard, said: “The failure of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it did with Russia, is an act of cowardice and an illustration of blatant double standards when it comes to Israel.

✊🏾Two powerful acts of resistance against authoritarian practices and predatory power.

⚖️In #France, a court overturned a politically motivated visa denial against @alhaq_org's General Director, and Palestinian human rights leader, Shawan Jabarin, a clear pushback against attempts to silence human rights defenders.

🛑In Europe, #Spain is calling for EU action to block US sanctions against the @IntlCrimCourt, sanctions that undermine international justice and threaten those fighting for accountability and the right to justice for the Palestinian people. The EU has the tools to act and must use them. @amnesty has long urged the implementation of the EU Blocking Statute. Spain’s demand is not the end point, it is the beginning.

Resistance is built step by step. There is no time to give up. This is the time to resist #HumanityMustWin

The 76th #FIFA Congress will take place in Vancouver today.

With reports that FIFA is still considering whether to ask President Trump to halt cruel #ICE raids during the World Cup, it is incredible that Gianni Infantino is yet to make this call in order to protect everyone connected with the tournament.

#FIFA President Gianni Infantino must tell member associations gathering today on how he will ensure that the #FIFAWorldCup does not become a stage for repression and a platform for authoritarian practices.

Fans should be able to enjoy the ‘safe, welcoming and inclusive’ tournament promised by FIFA: https://amn.st/6015BBu3yB

This is a pivotal moment in human rights history. Rights are under attack around the world. But attacks on rights don’t have to win.

From youth uprisings in Nepal, to dockworkers stopping arms shipments in Europe, to climate defenders and women winning rights – resistance is rising. We won’t back down.

The International Criminal Court’s confirmation of all crimes against humanity charges against former President Duterte is a historic moment for victims and international justice.

It sends a clear message that those who are alleged to have committed widespread and systematic murder as a crime against humanity will one day find themselves in the dock, facing trial.

Families of victims and survivors of the ‘war on drugs’ in the Philippines have waited far too long for justice. Justice may be slow in coming, but it cannot be delayed forever.

We’re entering a critical period for human rights. For years, Amnesty has warned about the erosion of protections around the world. What we’re seeing now goes further – a direct challenge to the foundations of the international system itself.

The rules, institutions and legal frameworks designed to safeguard people are being weakened, and those who once championed them.

But people are fighting back. We can and will resist. Our latest report examines what is driving this shift, and the consequences it is already having on people’s lives globally. #HumanityMustWin
