Notes from the Faultline
@FaultineNotes
We live along faultlines: places where rights, power, and principles collide. Some cracks are loud. Others are quiet. All of them shape the world we live in.
The UN turns 80 in crisis🇺🇳⚡️ Our new Notes from the Faultline: Dispatch #1 argues the 2026 appointment of the next Secretary-General will test the UN’s legitimacy. A woman from Eastern Europe must lead — through transparency, courage and reform. 🔗 progress-change-actionlab.org/notes-from-the…
The EU’s new plan to protect democracy targets foreign influence and misinformation. It risks weakening civil society. By copying “foreign agent” laws, 🇪🇺 states could harm those defending democracy, the EU’s real shield 🛡️⚡️ Read more in @epc_eu 🔗 epc.eu/publication/de…
After #COP27🇪🇬, #COP28🇦🇪 and #COP29🇦🇿, another autocratic host may be next: Türkiye could take #COP31 as Australia’s bid falters. No future for climate talks without civic space. When the UN lets repression host, climate justice pays the price 🌍⚡️ 🔗 bbc.com/news/articles/…
#COP30 begun in Brazil’s Amazon 🌳 10 years after Paris, emitters have not filed new plans, finance pledges are hollow, “just transition” is still an empty slogan, rainforest protection remains uncertain. Power, money colide with climate justice 🌍⚡️ 🔗 theconversation.com/five-key-issue…
Azerbaijan has handed over the UN Climate Conference presidency to Brazil🌍 #COP30 Since #COP29 in Baku: 🚨Founders of the Climate of Justice Initiative have been jailed ⚖️Nazim Baydamirli was sentenced to 8 years in prison 📚Repression of media, civil society, scholars deepened…
A faultline⚡️ A war criminal welcomed at the highest level yesterday: Sergei Shoigu leading a visit to Egypt🇷🇺🇪🇬 Just days after the EU-Egypt summit, where human rights were set aside, Egypt welcomed Shoigu to Cairo. Silence bought the EU no leverage🇪🇺🇪🇬

Fear has switched sides in Serbia🇷🇸⚡️ After a year of student and civic revolt, the Helsinki Committee lays bare a society at breaking point—corruption, repression, and propaganda met with defiance from a new generation. 🔗 helsinki.org.rs/doc/Report2025…
Feminist foreign policies are under siege⚡️ Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden turned back. Anti-gender groups better funded ($1.2 billion in 5 years). Advocates refuse to retreat💪 🔗 @mariluetta on keeping feminism in foreign policy passblue.com/2025/11/05/fem…
This week is a special one for us as we mark 20 years of protecting and promoting the work of human rights defenders across Africa. As we count down to our anniversary celebrations, we reflect on two decades of resilience, solidarity, and impact. To kick off the week, our Senior…
Nothing like withdrawal from a human rights convention but still respecting it: implementation without standards, obligations, monitoring, accountability isn't credible. Latvia’s move to quit #IstanbulConvention marks a major faultline for women’s rights, the rule of law⚖️⚡️♀︎
When the far right’s words become parliament’s votes ⚡️ For the first time, a #LePen Rassemblement national text was adopted by the National Assembly 🇫🇷 The “cordon sanitaire” that once protected democracy has snapped ‼️ 🔗 liberation.fr/politique/elec…
A European five-step playbook is unfolding to kill civil society: 📌 Fabricate the scandal 📌 Institutionalise the witch-hunt 📌 Defund 📌 Criminalise 📌 Exploit what’s left What disappears with NGOs isn’t “lobbying”, it’s accountability itself. @euobs euobserver.com/news/ar1c67c9a3
