We urgently call for transparency and accountability of UK Special Forces. These 2000 denied asylum applications months before the Afghanistan Inquiry is due to publish its findings should be subject to independent review as a matter of priority. bbc.com/news/articles/…
There is a critical need for increased transparency and oversight into UK arms sales. Without improving parliamentary oversight of arms export licenses, we risk complicity in breaches of IHL and human rights. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
We are gravely concerned by the stop order on USAID. Over 100 countries are directly affected, with immediate detrimental impact on humanitarian aid and lifesaving health services. These projects are imperative to peacebuilding and stabilisation in fragile societies.
With USAID and so many other development agencies being throttled, this should be the time for the UK to step up on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Saferworld & @mercycorps make the case for reversing the precipitate decline in UK aid and leadership on peace and conflict.
In 2022, the UN put the civilian casualty estimate based on HRDAG’s analysis at between 281,443 and 337,971 deaths. This was the last estimate published by the UN of civilians deaths in Syria. (5/8) ohchr.org/en/statements/…
Determining the true scale of lives lost in Syria’s 14-year conflict is essential for transitional justice. But is a final civilian casualty count possible? Airwars investigator @desilva_rowena spoke to experts for @newlinesmag (1/8) newlinesmag.com/argument/tally…

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in #Ukraine reports the highest number of civilian casualties in a single incident in almost two years following Russian strikes on Zaporizhzhia. Over 2000 civilians were killed in Russia's war of aggression in 2024. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…
