Today from Geneva, we presented the first UN Action Plan on Combating #Antisemitism, prepared by SR @ahmedshaheed!
We call on the United Nations as a whole, in Geneva, NY & across all its bodies and agencies, to implement this practical guide & properly address Jewish hatred! 🧵
This 8-points Action Plan is a crucial step in the fight against #antisemitism.
1️⃣Zero tolerance policy
2️⃣Establish dedicated structures
3️⃣Educate society
4️⃣Monitor incidents
5️⃣Ensure safety & practice
6️⃣Address antisemitism online
7️⃣Solidarity
8️⃣Int'l Organizations to step up
In Geneva, we tackle essential human rights matters and we challenge all forms of racism and discrimination. Yet, it is time for the Human Rights Council and other organisations in Geneva to take a lead against #antisemitism and make it a priority.
On the 15th of March, 2011, #Syrian civilians took to the streets demanding democratic reforms and a better life.
These civilians were met with bullets.
They were met with torture.
They were met by the Syrian government who knows no limits. #HRC50
In later years of this conflict, the government used chemical weapons. It used Chlorine gas. It used weapons of mass destruction on its own people. #HRC50
