#Russia claims that it has never used internationally prohibited cluster munitions in #Ukraine. But the list of deadly Russian cluster munition attacks runs long. If confirmed, the July 8th attack on #Lyman once again shows Russia’s contempt for civilians. @humanrightswatch

#Russland hat zwar in behauptet, keine Streumunition in #Ukraine eingesetzt zu haben, doch die Liste der tödlichen russischen Streumunitionsangriffe ist lang, wie auch, sollte er sich bestätigen, der Angriff auf die Zivilbevölkerung in Lyman am 8. Juli zeigt.

In West-Darfur wird eine Stadt nach der anderen niedergebrannt, so dass Zehntausende von Zivilisten um ihr Leben fliehen müssen. Die USA müssen dafür sorgen, dass der UN-Sicherheitsrat handelt, um Zivilisten zu schützen und die Verantwortlichen zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen. @humanrightswatch

Town after town in West Darfur is burned to the ground, sending tens of thousands of civilians fleeing for their lives. The US needs to ensure that the UN Security Council acts to protect civilians and to hold those responsible to account. @humanrightswatch

Cambodia’s prime minister Hun Sen seems intent on attacking and preemptively censoring any potential criticism before his son, Hun Manet, takes over. Such censorship is an extremely concerning sign that the next government will continue a crackdown on free speech and media freedom. @humanrightswatch

Wir sehen Höchstleistungen bei dieser Frauen-WM. Genauso wichtig ist es aber, dass das Turnier deutlich macht, wie dringend das dysfunktionale System in der #FIFA beendet werden muss, welches die Spielerinnen betrügt und missbraucht. @MinkysHighjinks
Die Frauenfußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2023 bringt geschätzte Übertragungseinnahmen in Höhe von knapp 200 Millionen US-Dollar ein. Eine gute Nachricht für den Fußball-Weltverband FIFA, eine weniger gute für die Spielerinnen auf dem Platz.
Residents of #Kherson survived eight months of Russian occupation, and are finally free from fear of torture, only to be subjected to new indiscriminate attacks by #Russia, apparently including banned cluster munitions.

Russian forces have apparently used cluster munitions on civilian populated areas of Kherson at least three times since they retreated from the city, Human Rights Watch said today. These were part of a series of attacks on the city that resulted in civilian casualties.
Turkish airstrikes since November 20, 2022, are inflicting damage on densely populated areas and critical infrastructure across north and northeast Syria and exacerbating an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis for Kurds, Arabs, and other communities in the region.
