Les victimes de l’ancien dictateur tchadien Hissène Habré attendent toujours de recevoir les indemnisations ordonnées par la justice, sept ans après sa condamnation historique au Sénégal en 2016, ont indiqué aujourd’hui sept organisations tchadiennes et internationales. A quelques jours de cet anniversaire, deux victimes sont encore décédées.
In response to news on 17 May 2023 of the fatal shooting of Bounsuan Kitiyano, a 56-year-old Lao human rights defender and a refugee recognized by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in a border town in northeastern Thailand, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and nine other organisations urge the government of Thailand to independently, effectively and promptly investigate this incident and ensure effective remedy to the victim’s family and loved ones.
The victims of the late Chadian President Hissène Habré have yet to receive court-ordered reparations, seven years after his landmark conviction in Senegal in 2016, seven Chadian and international organizations said today. Just days before the anniversary, two more victims’ leaders passed away.
The Taliban’s severe restrictions and unlawful crackdown on women and girls’ rights should be investigated as possible crimes under international law, including the crime against humanity of gender persecution, Amnesty International and the International Commission of Jurists said today in a new report.
The International Commission of Jurists is calling on States participating in negotiations underway in Slovenia on a multilateral cooperation treaty (MLAT) aimed at bringing to justice those responsible for the most serious crimes under international law, to oppose efforts by a small group of States, led by the United Kingdom and France, to insert provisions that would fatally undermine the effectiveness of the treaty.
