#Thailand : Deeply disturbed by death of Netiporn ‘Bung’ Sanesangkhom who was on hunger strike to demand judicial reform & release of prisoners. We call for transparent & impartial investigation into her death & care. Freedom of expression&peaceful assembly are fundamental rights.

War, climate change, food insecurity, unchecked new tech: These are not insurmountable challenges. History has shown us time & time again that respect for human rights is the only way to achieve sustainable peace, security & development. It's time leaders act accordingly.

Raging conflicts, crushing debt, spiraling poverty, climate change, unregulated tech: today’s crises are human-made & preventable. We must set aside partisan politics & prioritise the right to sustainable development for all— to build more peaceful, just & prosperous societies.

Rights are not empty promises, they're tangible obligations. Govts must abide by them. National Human Rights Institutions are working to make this a reality & hold Govts accountable to the people they serve. I encourage them to keep up this crucial work:
