The Indian Government has been unlawfully targeting human rights defenders (HRDs) through the use of overbroad national security laws and criminal laws, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said in a new report released today.
“Laws, policies and practices in Thailand must be reviewed and amended in order to remove obstacles to holding Thai companies accountable for wrongdoing outside the country’s borders and ensure their alignment with Thailand’s obligations under international human rights law”, justice sector officials concluded at a workshop hosted by the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and Thailand’s Ministry of Justice on 10 and 11 September 2022.
“Judges should take concrete steps to break barriers that women are still facing in accessing justice and should play key role to ensure that courts are more gender responsive and women are able to access justice equally and without discrimination”.
