Sanctions against UN officials and civil society organizations are unjustifiable and a threat to anyone advocating for #humanrights.

Such an important article. Across Europe we keep capitulating to far right demands, with the pretext that that’s the only way to survive. Where has that led us so far? Only farther right, away from human rights, the rule of law, climate sensitive policies, in a race to the bottom.
Why didn't people just walk out of the room during this ramble of hate & absurdity? Turn their back, laugh, leave. Stop giving him an audience. Show him that people do not respect him. www.bbc.com/news/article...
“We are concerned that the U.S. Government has chosen to fast-track the admission of Afrikaners, while actively fighting court orders to provide life-saving resettlement to other refugee populations who are in desperate need of resettlement.”
Sara* applied for refugee status in 2014. This year she was on the verge of reuniting with her son & grandchild — until the #RefugeeBan upended their lives. She should be celebrating #MothersDay safe at home with her family. But we’ll keep fighting until families like Sara’s can be together & safe.
Notably missing: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia. Kind of mindblowing to me given what the substance of this letter is: "government should not retaliate against law firms"
We support the right of people to advance their interests in courts of law when they have been wronged. We reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways. We cannot accept government actions that seek to twist the scales of justice in this manner. We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not. Words and actions matter. And the intimidating words and actions we have heard and seen must end. They are designed to cow our country’s judges, our country’s courts and our legal profession. There are clear choices facing our profession. We can choose to remain silent and allow these acts to continue or we can stand for the rule of law and the values we hold dear. We call upon the entire profession, including lawyers in private practice from Main Street to Wall Street, as well as those in corporations and who serve in elected positions, to speak out against intimidation.
More than 50 bar organizations stand together with the American Bar Association to defend the rule of law and reject efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession. Read the full statement: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
