Side Event at the Palais des Nations Highlights Systemic Violence Against Women in Sudan and Ethiopia
Geneva, 25 August 2026 — On 25 August 2026, in Room VIII of the Palais des Nations, CAP Liberté de Conscience (CAP LC) convened a side event on a subject that remains urgent and too often sidelined: the condition of women in wartime. Titled “Women’s Condition and Violence in Wartime,” the gathering brought together psychologists, human rights defenders, and humanitarian practitioners to give voice to women whose suffering is documented in files and reports, but whose stories rarely reach the chambers where decisions are made.
In South Korea, a 95-Year-Old Veteran Awaits Trial Behind Bars
At 95, Lee Man-hee — confirmed Korean War veteran by the South Korean government — awaits trial in a Seoul detention cell. Following a prison visit and a press conference where a fellow veteran spoke of gratitude and national dignity, this article asks: how can a state that honors its veterans with pensions, ceremonies, and a national ministry justify holding one of its last survivors behind bars for non-violent alleged offenses? The question is one of moral coherence, not legal impunity.
Side Event at the United Nations Women’s Condition and Violence in Wartime
This conference will examine the deterioration of women’s condition in contemporary armed conflicts, with particular attention to the systemic violence — physical, sexual, psychological and structural — they endure in the Sudan crisis. International experts — lawyers, human rights defenders, psychologists and humanitarian practitioners — will share their field experience and legal expertise to enrich the analysis of existing protection mechanisms. The objective is to raise awareness among the diplomatic community and civil society, and to formulate concrete recommendations for the United Nations regarding accountability mechanisms and unimpeded humanitarian access.
Pakistan: An Ahmadi Official Removed from Post After Extremist Pressure Campaign
On 8 August 2026, the Punjab Land Records Authority transferred Naghman Ahmad, an Ahmadi Muslim, from his post as Assistant Director in Lalian following an extremist campaign by Khatm-e-Nabuwwat groups. They publicly celebrated his removal as an ideological victory. The administrative order, devoid of professional justification, violates Articles 18, 25, 26 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, illustrating the subordination of Pakistan’s state apparatus to sectarian pressure.

With ECOSOC consultative status at the United Nations, CAP LC conducts its advocacy here, at the Human Rights Council, the OSCE and European institutions. We speak for all faiths and none, because freedom of religion or belief is not a privilege; it is a universal right.
