📣 Big Tent Mobilization Meetings - UNGA resolution on the ICJ’s Climate Advisory Opinion!

On 23 July, 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a landmark advisory opinion clearly outlining the legal obligations of States to prevent and remedy climate harm. Today, the global community has an opportunity to stand together for climate justice: Vanuatu is leading on a UN General Assembly resolution to translate this historic ruling into concrete action.

The vote on this resolution will come up soon – end of March – and we need all of you to support the next step on this historic path towards climate justice.

✊ Join us for Big Tent Mobilization Meetings to get up to speed with what is happening & brainstorm on how the climate movement can raise the stakes in the critical weeks before the vote.

🌍 PROTECTING THOSE WHO PROTECT US

REMINDER - Book Launch: The Value of Human Rights Treaties and Their Supervisory Bodies

We are at a critical juncture for the international human rights system.

UN treaty bodies face systematic attacks on their independence, legitimacy and resourcing.

Political pressure seeks to constrain their mandate. Financial scrutiny threatens their operational capacity.

Yet these mechanisms protect individuals, communities and the environment for present and future generations.

They are the first and last line of defence against structural violence, discrimination and exclusion.

This cannot stand.

__________________________________

📚 A Book as Strategic Defence

On 20 January 2026, we launch The Value of Human Rights Treaties and Their Supervisory Bodies , not merely as a scholarly reference, but as operational infrastructure for protection, prevention and intergenerational continuity.

This 700-page collective work, published under the auspices of Geneva for Human Rights (gva4HR), examines all UN and regional human rights treaties and their supervisory mechanisms, bringing together:

✔ Leading scholars and practitioners
✔ Former mandate-holders
✔ Institutional actors
✔ Decades of jurisprudence and normative evolution

🛡️ The Book Functions As:

1. A Protection and Prevention Tool
2. An Intergenerational Bridge
3. A Resource for All Publics

⚖️ Why This Matters Now
In a moment when:
- Democratic space is shrinking globally
- Relations among major powers are at historic lows
- NGO space has diminished
- Powerful coalitions place human rights institutions under sustained scrutiny

Human rights treaty bodies remain the most independent actors in clarifying international human rights law and developing a jurisprudence of protection.

But independence requires defence.

🤝 Join the Dialogue
📅 Tuesday, 20 January 2026 | 15:00–18:00 CET
📍 Conference Room, Centre Administratif de Varembé (CAV)
1 rue de Varembé, 1202 Geneva
🌐 Hybrid format — streamed online
🍷 Informal reception: 18:00–19:00

We invite all defenders and communities to join us for a forward-looking dialogue on:
✅ Prevention and early warning
✅ Protection and accountability
✅ Peace-building through law and supervision
✅ Intergenerational continuity and renewal

The defence of treaty bodies is inseparable from the defence of dignity, equality and justice.

Widespread knowledge of their work becomes a form of protection. When governments, civil society, journalists, students and communities understand what would be lost if treaty bodies disappeared, they are better positioned to resist dismantling.

Your Voice Matters: UN Call for Input on the Right to Seeds

Together, we can ensure the right to seeds is grounded in lived realities and serves those who need it most.

You don't need to be a lawyer or expert—your lived experience is expertise. We're here to help you share it.

The UN Working Group on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas is seeking contributions on the right to seeds under Article 19 of UNDROP.

This is a unique opportunity for farmers, Indigenous Peoples, seed-keepers, rural workers, women's organizations, researchers and civil society to directly inform international human rights standards.

Why this matters:
Seeds are not just biological material, they are the foundation of food security, cultural heritage, biodiversity, and self-determination for billions.

Yet seed systems worldwide face criminalisation, corporate concentration, and the exclusion of those who depend on them most.

Geneva for Human Rights stands ready to support you.

We offer:
✅ Submission guidance and simplified question guides
✅ Technical assistance (30-60 minute consultations)
✅ Connection to human rights frameworks
✅ Resource materials and examples

Key details:
📅 Deadline: February 19, 2026
