As we reflect on 2024 at Parliamentarians for Global Action, we are both humbled and inspired by the critical work that our member parliamentarians are engaged in every day.
Government representatives and relevant authorities must respect their human rights and rights to a fair trial and due process.
On 22 November 2024, the Sixth Committee of the United Nations unanimously approved the “United Nations Conference of Plenipotentiaries on Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Humanity”.
The hybrid, non-partisan Caucus brought together parliamentarians, experts, and civil society to explore the Escazú Agreement.
We, the undersigned members of parliaments worldwide, stand united in our individual capacities in unwavering support of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
In an era characterized by growing challenges to democratic values and institutions, the Parliamentary Toolbox for Democracy Defense is a vital resource to empower parliamentarians and democracy advocates worldwide.
