The State of Minority Rights in Bangladesh: A Critical Review of Human Rights Violations

Religious Persecution and Human Rights: UN Report Examines Torture and Religious Freedom
In the report “Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Prohibition of Torture”, the UN Special Rapporteur Nazila Ghanea looks at how religious persecution is linked with human rights violations. The study which was discussed at the 58th session of the Human Rights Council and later made news by European Times News, focuses on how religious prejudice can lead to institutional violation.
The focus of the report is on the connection between coercion and religious freedom. According to European Times News, Ghanea said, “Not all forms of coercion reach the threshold of torture or ill-treatment, but all forms of torture committed on persons on the basis of their religion or belief constitute coercion.”
Ahmadiyya Persecution in Pakistan: A Systematic Violation of Human Rights
The EU has told Pakistan not to take its GSP+ status for granted because compliance with international human rights obligations is a condition for the trade preferences under the scheme. The EU has also expressed its concerns over Pakistan’s violations of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which Pakistan signed in 2010.
82th Session CAT : Domestic violence: a form of institutionalised torture?
The socio-judicial treatment of domestic violence in France is a cause for concern. At a time when our country, the self-proclaimed defender of human rights, is struggling to protect children and their protective parents from domestic violence, it is crucial to highlight the serious malfunctioning of our institutions. These practices, which I describe in a file submitted to the UN Committee against Torture as a form of institutionalised torture, expose the victims to a double penalty: that of the violence suffered and that of the procedures that condemn them to injustice and create new traumas.
UN OHCHR Syria: Children’s rights at the heart of the issues after the fall of the Assad regime
The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on 8 December 2024 after fourteen years of civil war marks a major turning point for Syria. However, it also highlights the serious violations of children’s rights during the conflict. In the light of this particularly worrying information, based on data from international reports and first-hand accounts, I have submitted a dossier to the United Nations to draw attention to these injustices and make concrete recommendations.
