European parliament raises urgent questions on antisemitism in Eu schools following UNESCO survey
On 30 January 2026, a cross-party group of eighteen European Parliament members submitted a written question to the European Commission regarding alarming findings in a UNESCO report on antisemitism in European Union educational institutions. The initiative, led by MEPs from multiple political groups—including the European Conservatives and Reformists, Renewists, and the Patriotic Europe faction—signals growing parliamentary concern over documented prevalence of antisemitic incidents within classrooms across the bloc.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Addresses Critical Violations in Sudan: Key Findings and International Recommendations
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a comprehensive report (A/HRC/61/24) on 13 January 2026, presenting an assessment of the human rights situation across Sudan. The document covers the period from 16 November 2024 to 15 November 2025 and was submitted to the Human Rights Council at its sixty-first session, responding to Council resolution 57/2.
HRC 61 Written Statement Ensuring Justice in the Sudan: Extending Accountability for Crimes Against Humanity
At the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, CAP Liberté de Conscience submitted a written statement highlighting the catastrophic human rights situation in Sudan and the urgent need for extended accountability. The submission documents heinous crimes committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), including summary executions, sexual violence, and mass killings in areas like El Fasher and the Zamzam camp, while noting the RSF’s systematic attempts to destroy evidence. CAP LC emphasizes the necessity of extending the UN Security Council’s ICC referral beyond Darfur to cover all regions of Sudan, ensuring justice for crimes against humanity nationwide. Additionally, the statement exposes the critical role of foreign actors, particularly the United Arab Emirates, in supplying weapons that sustain the RSF’s operations. Consequently, CAP LC calls on Member States to cease arms transfers to the RSF, condemn the UAE’s involvement, impose sanctions on perpetrators and enablers, and support international mechanisms for evidence preservation and accountability.
HRC 61 Written Statement Threatened Dissolution of Shincheonji and Other Religious Organizations in the Republic of Korea
At the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, CAP Liberté de Conscience submitted a written statement raising serious concerns over the threatened dissolution of the Shincheonji Church and other minority religious organizations in the Republic of Korea. The document condemns efforts by President Lee Jae Myung to disband groups labeled as “pseudo-religions,” arguing that such state actions violate Article 18 of the ICCPR by allowing the government to act as a theological arbiter. CAP LC challenges the cited Japanese precedent, noting UN Special Rapporteurs’ criticism of dissolution orders based on vague concepts of “public welfare.” The statement further refutes claims of “enormous damage,” highlighting the Supreme Court’s acquittal of Shincheonji regarding COVID-19 allegations and the lack of coercive elements in its past evangelism methods. Consequently, CAP LC urges the Korean authorities to respect freedom of religion or belief and cease discriminatory campaigns driven by religious intolerance.
Interactive dialogue on the oral update of the OHCHR on the human rights situation in and around El Fasher, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Sudan
Survivors of the attacks in El Fasher report mass atrocities and killings committed by the Rapid Support Forces after a year and a half of siege under horrific conditions, with no access to basic necessities. Civilians who fled describe widespread violence, including torture, kidnappings for ransom, sexual violence, disproportionately affecting women and girls, and summary executions as they attempted to escape. More than 1,000 days into the conflict, atrocities persist, and large-scale attacks are becoming a recurring pattern. Immediate and collective action is required to cease these crimes and prevent similar atrocities in other regions of Sudan.
