This week, the new legislative period of the #EuropeanParliament, scheduled to run until 2029, begins.   We call on MEPs to end the policy of letting people die in the #Mediterranean!   Our in-depth report, ‘Humanity Overboard’, paints a stark picture of the situation on the Mediterranean. It demonstrates via rescue data, a survey from on board Humanity 1 and testimonies of survivors how the EU and its member states are obstructing search and rescue and depriving refugees of their human rights.   The EU needs to change course – urgently. Read the full report, including concrete details of our four key demands to the members of the new European Parliament, here: https://lnkd.in/gM5gQ8uw

As the National Transitional Justice Symposium held in February from 20-21, 2024 demonstrated, there are pathways for implementing Uganda Transitional Justice Policy. Various communities in Uganda need to be guided to lasting peace and stability by resolving legacies of past violence and multi-layered grievances stemming from egregious human rights violations.  Through a plurality of local justice efforts and accountability mechanisms consistent with judicial sovereignty, healing and reconciling communities that suffered conflict and mass violations can rebuild broken lives and relationships. It will also be necessary to make effective and unambiguous efforts and commitments in order to develop a comprehensive reparations framework.
