Of 51 intermediate powers, 18 pair democratic quality with sustained funding of the UN Human Rights Office, whilst 11 democracies fund below the line.

Scatter chart titled Democratic Quality vs. Sustained Investment in Human Rights, showing 51 intermediate powers coloured by UN regional group. Horizontal axis: V-Dem Liberal Democracy Index, five-year mean 2021 to 2025, from 0 to 1. Vertical axis: voluntary contributions to the UN Human Rights Office per billion US dollars of GDP, annual mean 2021 to 2025, log scale. Dashed lines mark the 0.5 democratic threshold and the 500 US dollar funding line. Eighteen states sit above both, led by Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark. Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Japan, Peru, Chile, Romania and Brazil sit above the democratic threshold only. Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates fund above the line with low democracy scores. Eight states made no contribution from 2021 to 2025: Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Ukraine and Nigeria below the threshold; Argentina, Colombia and South Africa above it. Bubble size shows GDP.

In France, only three of the six juvenile detention centres are authorised to accommodate girls.

The UN Rapporteur on the occupied territories said Jews were called Muslims on the way to Nazi gas chambers. But ‘Muselmann’ were prisoners starved to near death. She apologised today. In 2022, she regretted a post claiming a Jewish lobby subjugated the US. Worrying pattern ⚡️

Screenshot of a post on X by Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur, from the account @FranceskAlbs, dated 28 September 2026 at 14:20. The post reads: I sincerely apologize. I misread the term 'Muselmann' (Muslim) used in Nazi camps for prisoners at the brink of death, wrongly inferring that the term antisemitism originally meant hatred of all Semitic peoples. In fact it was coined specifically to denote hatred of Jews. The post shows 1.1 million views, 1,300 replies, 1,000 reposts and 4,600 likes.

Russian courts take 10 minutes to send someone to a psychiatric hospital. They approve over 99 per cent. 49 people held in psychiatric hospitals in political cases, most for opposing the war ⚡️ Russia's psychiatrists remain full members of the World Psychiatric Association WPA_Psychiatry #WCP26

A square infographic with a white background, titled Psychiatry as a weapon, with the subtitle A hidden face of Putin's war against Ukraine. It presents seven findings in brown and black. A grid of 64 dots, 49 of them filled, shows that 64 people were sent by courts to forced psychiatric treatment between 2017 and 2025, and that 49 were still locked in hospital at the end of 2025. A ring chart shows that 58% of cases are linked to speaking out against the war. Three bars show the age of those affected: 28 born after 1990, 19 born between 1970 and 1990, and 17 born between 1950 and 1970. A clock icon shows that court hearings last about 10 minutes per case and that 99% of requests are approved, out of up to 20,000 a year. Two icons show a double standard: critics are declared mentally ill, and people who are ill are declared fit for prison. An iceberg illustrates that known cases are the tip, with Memorial and OVD-Info banned, lawyers arrested, and around 48 teenagers in occupied Donetsk reportedly sent to forced treatment with no details known. A globe icon notes that Russian psychiatrists remain full members of the World Psychiatric Association, followed by the question How long? The logos of the Andrei Sakharov Research Center for Democratic Development at Vytautas Magnus University and the Federation Global Initiative on Psychiatry appear at the bottom.
