Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights

Somalia has made considerable progress in the political, economic, social and human rights situation over the past six years, but there is much more to do, UN human rights expert says.

UN human rights experts have expressed grave concern over the detention and criminal proceedings against the German captain of the Sea-Watch 3, and said the threats to the judge who ruled her release were unlawful. 

A UN expert has voiced concern about lack of human rights accountability in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, pointing to the actions of “an occupying power seemingly bent on further territorial annexation”.

The High Commissioner says she is deeply shocked that children are forced to sleep on the floor in overcrowded facilities, without access to adequate healthcare or food, and with poor sanitation conditions.
