For the European Union, development is an inalienable, universal right — indivisible from human dignity. Today at the UN Human Rights Council EU Ambassador Potzel underlined that development cannot be a precondition for the fulfilment of human rights. They are simultaneous and mutually reinforcing.

Every aid worker killed is not only a personal tragedy; it is also a failure by the international community to uphold its most basic commitments. On World Humanitarian Day, we honour the extraordinary courage of aid workers who put themselves in harm's way every day. #NotATarget

For many governments, today the question is whether a partnership with Russia is still a strategic and future-proof choice. A relationship built on instability, broken commitments, and shrinking influence looks increasingly less like a strategic asset and more like a strategic liability.

We condemn deliberate targeting by Russia of 🇺🇦 civilians & infrastructure and executions of prisoners of war by the Russian armed forces. The 🇺🇳 Commission of Inquiry showed that the gravity of violations increased, incl war crimes & crimes against humanity committed by Russia.

“My case has been marred by delays, impunity and revictimisation by authorities.” Amy has spent more than a decade seeking justice after being raped in Colombia. 13 years later, her legal case continues. The EU supports survivors of torture and efforts to challenge impunity.

Leadership is not a woman's job. It is everyone's job. Today at UN Geneva we inaugurated a photo exhibition, which celebrates women driving change: leading countries, societies or communities, they challenged gender stereotypes and overcame barriers.

This has to end. 65 countries still criminalise consensual same-sex relations. Words are not enough. In 2024, the EU supported 10,500 human rights defenders worldwide. 21% were LGBTIQ+. Reliable. And that's the whole point. Read more: link.europa.eu/BjHcb3

Enough is enough. Time for a ceasefire now. This week all UN Security Council members—except one—were united in calling for a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire. As did Ukraine. Russia remains the only obstacle to peace. We urge it to abide by UNSC members' call. Now.

Russia has been portraying the EU and Ukraine’s leadership as “warmongers” unwilling to end the war. This is, of course, an outright lie. In reality, it is the Kremlin that has rejected at least seven peace proposals in 2025 alone.

Equality, participation & non-discrimination are at the heart of democracy. Yet across the world, too many LGBTIQ+ persons still face violence, discrimination, hate speech & stigmatisation simply for being who they are. Where discrimination persists, democracy cannot fully thrive
