My recent article w/ @jdakwar urging the Biden administration to translate U.S. international human rights obligations into domestic policies. One idea is for the U.S. to consider establishing a National Human Rights Institution.

🚩 11 organisations including @fairsqprojects and @ALQST_En have raised deep concerns at AS&H Clifford Chance's flawed human rights assessment of the #Saudi2034bid. The global firm risks being linked to abuses which result from the tournament. alqst.org/en/post/fifa-s…

I always wondered how the 'independent human rights assessment' of Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup bid would give it the clean-ish bill of health required. Here is how FIFA and the Saudi partner of @Clifford_Chance did it. 🧵 tinyurl.com/3ahxjy9f

💡Fun fact - there were serious considerations of locating the UN in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. However, b/c of the Rockefeller family's personal diplomacy they ended up on selecting NYC. #UNGA79

The UN General Assembly, which starts on Tuesday, brings scores of world leaders to Manhattan’s East Side each year. It's more of a headache than an honor for many New Yorkers who live or work in the neighborhood. nyti.ms/3XF8O0W



Beyond disappointing to see this decision by the UNC Board of Governors.

The UNC Board of Governors has elected Lee H. Roberts as #UNC’s 13th chancellor. The entire #UNC community is invited to an event celebrating Roberts' appointment at 2 p.m. today via livestream. Learn more: unc.live/4dCt7CJ

Describing VP Harris as a "DEI hire" is nothing short of a disgusting racist and sexist smear against someone who has over 20 years of experience in elected public office. Meanwhile Trump and Vance have a COMBINED 5 years in elected office.

Rep. Tim Burchett, a conservative Republican from Tennessee, attacks VP Kamala Harris as a "DEI hire."

Qatar is routinely offered up as a model for labour reforms. But there are serious questions about the progress of its reform programme. Any re-establishment in law of the exit permit for domestic workers would be a disastrous step.

#Qatar Shura Council calls for reintroducing exit permits for domestic workers, threatening to undo reforms. If the motion is accepted, it would be a serious setback for the reform process in #Qatar, which claims to have abolished the #Kafala system. migrant-rights.org/2024/06/qatar-…

Qatar could reverse a major labour reform, introduced just 2 years before the World Cup, for the most vulnerable workers

🎉 My first PhD paper has been accepted for publication in @IAJournal_CH! In a forthcoming piece with @justinparkhurst & @clarewenham, we trace how global health security and universal health coverage evolved together — from distinct policy sectors to synergistic norm regimes.

Pains me to open #HRC56 w/ the cruelty of war Data gathered by my Office shows: in 2023 civilian deaths in conflict soared by 72%; the proportion of women killed doubled, children tripled Leaders can't keep pushing the limits of war & trampling rights We must restore peace now

Honored to be a part of this series w/ @RepAOC @RepMarkPocan @RepBarbaraLee @RepMcGovern @RepJayapal @WilliamHartung & @daniellebrian! The amount of $$ that goes to the Pentagon is sickening when you consider where else it could be spent. Join us in advocating for that world!✨

💥BIG VIDEO💥 As the Pentagon's budget nears $1 trillion, vital programs here at home remain critically underfunded. This week, the House votes on the #NDAA. No more blank checks for failed audits. It’s time to demand accountability from the Pentagon. #AuditThePentagon
