RECURSOS

Gender digital divide The High Commissioner addressed the Human Rights Council on the gender digital divide in times of COVID-19. She noted how the pandemic exposed and exacerbated many existing realities based on exclusion. “When the pandemic lead to digital technology being the only lifeline to essential services, health-care information, livelihoods or to exercising rights, the digital exclusion became dramatic.” She stressed how we cannot let technology widen gender inequalities.
20th Anniversary of DDPA and the fight against racism The High Commissioner spoke at the 20th anniversary of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and 75 Years of United Nations Action Against Racism, where she reiterated her support for the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerances. Noting that the “anti-discrimination agenda concerns and belongs to all of us, irrespective of race, colour, descent, ethnic or national origin, affiliation, religion or belief.”
Comprehensive justice for Syria The High Commissioner spoke at an event discussing justice for human rights violations in Syria. Only comprehensive justice, she said "can give Syria a fair chance at a future of durable peace."
Myanmar Noting "significant deterioration" in the human rights situation in Myanmar, the High Commissioner told the Human Rights Council that Myanmar "faces a vortex of repression, violence and economic collapse" and "the alarming possibility of an escalating civil war"
South Sudan High levels of localised violence in South Sudan – mainly attributable to community-based militia – threaten to further destabilise the country, the Deputy High Commissioner told the Human Rights Council.
Belarus The human rights situation in Belarus continues to deteriorate, the High Commissioner told the Human Rights Council, noting her "deep concern" over increasingly severe restrictions on civic space and fundamental freedoms, and criminal prosecutions of human rights activists and journalists on apparently politically motivated charges. Continuing reports of widespread torture in detention include allegations of gender-based violence.
Racism Calling on States to "rise above past controversies and come together to combat racism and related discrimination", the High Commissioner spoke to the urgency of acknowledgment and reparations for the continuing harms inflicted by historical discrimination
Peace and youth On the UN International Day of Peace, the High Commissioner spoke about working for "a world of justice – a world without war, and without poverty; a thriving planet; a world in which everyone can access information and speak their minds freely – a world of dignity and human rights"
