UN Human Rights: Volker Türk won a second term as UN human rights chief, with the General Assembly reappointing him despite sharp U.S., Russia, and Israel opposition. International Justice: The ICC moved to dismiss chief prosecutor Karim Khan over sexual misconduct allegations, setting up a new leadership fight at a time when the court faces political pressure. Middle East Conflict: Iran and the EU traded accusations of hypocrisy over rights concerns amid the US-Iran war and EU sanctions; UN experts also warned escalation could spread and harm civilians and infrastructure. Occupied West Bank: Israel deployed troops after deadly clashes, with reports of raids and calls to raze homes, as rights groups warn of worsening settler violence. Protest Rights (Peru): Peru’s Constitutional Court struck down parts of a law that criminalized logistical and financial support for peaceful protests. Citizenship & Statelessness (Malaysia): Malaysia’s human rights commission warned a court ruling denying citizenship to children born out of wedlock could leave children stateless. Forced Labor & Trade (US): The US announced tariffs on 60 partners over forced-labor import failures, drawing praise from labor and industry groups.

Local Governance (Kenya): Kenya launched a digital early-warning platform to help prevent violence ahead of 2027 elections. Detention & Health (Azerbaijan/Armenia): Armenian prisoner advocates reported serious injuries in Azerbaijani custody, including fractures, urging scrutiny. Nicaragua: A bishop emeritus was reported forcibly disappeared or held under guard after arrest, prompting international concern.
