As the Assembly of States Parties convenes, Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) express our grave concern regarding the sustained harassment, intimidation, threats, and sanctions directed by the United States (U.S.) and Israel against officials of the International Criminal Court (ICC), as well as against non-governmental organisations and individuals cooperating with the Court. Such actions directly undermine the independence of the judiciary, obstruct the Court’s mandate under the Rome Statute, and threaten the safety and integrity of all those engaged in the pursuit of justice. We call on the…

By Abdullah Vawda United States President Donald Trump has taken to social media to announce that South Africa will not be allowed to attend next year’s Group of 20 (G20) intergovernmental forum in Miami, Florida. In Wednesday’s post, Trump renewed false claims that a white “genocide” was unfolding in the African country as reported by Al Jazeera English.

Will HRC Step In to Hold Perpetrator to Account?   By Iqbal Jassat  Racist venom captured on camera in the precinct of a prominent restaurant in Pretoria, has once again placed the spotlight on Islamophobia in South Africa.

From what we gather, the Muslim women remained calm during the confrontation whilst being harshly addressed and insulted by…
