#Yemen: The outrageous attack on a funeral makes an international investigation into the country even more vital. “The UN Human Rights Council's inability to take decisive action by setting up an intl investigation is contributing to a climate of impunity, and violations continue to occur on a regular basis. Such outrageous attacks cannot be allowed to continue,” said UN Human Rights Chief Zeid. Learn more: http://ow.ly/LDLo3051XW0

Betty McKay: Can people not respect anything in this day and age. Grief is hard enough but to compound it with a vicious attack is so very sad.

Christine Brown: Still looking for that special man you can text me on my cell if Interested. (817) 527-5062

Mandela's words are our moral compass - for humanity, not inhumanity. Including for people on the move! You don’t have to like me to respect my rights. I don’t have to agree with you to uphold your rights. You don’t have to be like me, for me to protect your rights. Rights are not a system of endorsement or appreciation – they are not an award or a test result nor a beauty parade. Human rights are for the best and for the worst of us. For each of us – to the exclusion of none of us in the interests of all of us. http://ow.ly/zfSJ304oiCk

JOHNVIANNEY GERRARD: Am following up the united Nations for good

Laura Stone: Dehumanization is at the root of systemic human rights violations and general disregard for ethics. Thank you Nelson Mandela for maintaining your humanity through all your trials. Your legacy lives in our hearts and minds.

Izran Hamzah: When he delivered this epic speech at the UN, all the delegates gave a long standing ovation and clapped their hands resoundingly in a unanimous show of support. But sadly it remained just a speech. How many of the member nations are seriously and wholeheartedly taking affirmative actions in their respective countries to address this issue. How is it that the UN are not brave enough to speak up and commit seriously to address this problem which is getting from bad to worse? The actual scale of sufferings of war refugees, genocide victims, ethnic cleansing, famine, children being bombed to pieces are so glaring and obvious but are downplayed by the main media which are owned and controlled by groups more powerful than the UN.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Race-baiting bigots must be confronted, UN Human Rights Chief Zeid urged at the #UN4RefugeesMigrants Summit just now. The world has failed millions of migrants, but we can change this together. This speech is a must-read: http://ow.ly/6g2D304lpn4

Angela Martin: +said duale Particularly from those who seek to eliminate freedom and rights.

Angela Martin: I suggest we help those who are oppressed by Muslims in their country, not the oppressors who happen to be Muslim and who are commanded by their religion to invade the west and pose as refugees.

U&me wu: Arabs are Not refugees they are invaders and they r destabilising the EU values and the cultures.

Help those who are real refugees and not these fake arabs.
Help the people who want to integrate in the society and be willing to adapt to the new homes.

Bigotry, is the arab themselves and they r to blame for this messy war.

#Bulgaria: "They call them 'migrant hunters' or 'citizen protection' organizations." Unchecked atmosphere of anti-migrant discourse results in human rights abuses. http://ow.ly/3OKx303WH3M

Photo: A little girl walks through a drought hit rice field. Is your country doing enough to protect all human rights from the impacts of climate change? Review your country’s intended nationally determined contribution & national adaptation plans. Ensure that intl climate action respects human rights: http://ow.ly/UjEB304VeJA

Nze Onyekachi: UN human right activits::: do you really ensure that buman rights are repected because in the entity were i am (nigeria) nothing is happining

Sundaran Kannadath: Off Topic:
1. The rice field is not drought hit.
By the time rice is ready to be harvested, the water in the fields would be drained off or would have naturally dried up. These fields are planted and harvested manually. While the rice is growing, flow of water into these small sections is also controlled manually. Sections are partitioned off by the mud bunds for facilitating these.
The girl is running, rather joyously, through one such partition.

2. Can you please explain what is meant by "intl climate action"?

Children are arguably the most vulnerable to toxics and pollution. UN expert Baskut Tuncak urges States and businesses to prevent childhood exposure to toxics and pollution http://ow.ly/XxKm304qIyW

Dariss Simpson: But we're giving 18 billion dollars to Isreal for war

James Brink: +Bookworm51485 you can't steal something from someone if they don't own it and the Indians were so primitive that they didn't believe in owning land.

KevyneShandris: +James Brink
They can pay that bill itself. After all they have nukes, and they will then have to use diplomacy, instead of acting like terrorists themselves (Israel was created by terrorists, that killed more than Palestinians, they assassinated UN officials and even tried to provoke wars with the USA).

Friends like that, who needs enemies!

We must stop bigotry - UN #HumanRights Chief #Zeid speaks at #UN4RefugeesMigrants Summit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLKUlA7qVAQ&feature=youtu.be

Michael Cammock: I am sure that You there at +United Nations Human Rights have been following the American Elections quite closely and so I feel to say, as a concerned citizen of Planet Earth, (even if?, from way over here in New Zealand), that the new President elect Mr Donald J Trump needs to be watched very closely with his implementation of his over the top policies that are, by design.... Only geared towards his so called "saving money" by taking it from those that are in great need of it through the Obamacare Health scheme.... And likewisely with the building of the wall separating Mexico from the United States of America and then making the Mexicans pay for it?, is just another way for Donald J Trump to not only deceitfully aquire huge amounts of money from Mexico?, but also cause as much grief as possible to those who are caught up in the whole process. And his promise to deport all drug dealers and the like is only meant for those that are minor players in the so called game, so that he can then be best friends with all of the major drug cartel bosses at his own leisure. So I also thought to include +Buckingham Palace and +Windsor Castle in on this, My message to You here today and hope that You keep not only a close eye on the outworkings of the Donald Trump campaign, but also those of whom he appoints to positions of power. Plus, and in conclusion.... I really fear for those that are Migrants in America that are just trying to get away from the wars in their own land under the new Trump Administration as he only has disruption and aggravation on his mind that way to, and only as his whole electioneering campaign has shown.

A must-read: Our new Global Human Rights Update, which addresses many of the country issues you have raised in the comments section on G+. This Update highlights our concern over this emerging pattern -> the growing refusal by an increasing number of Member States to grant us access – either to countries generally, or to specific regions. The Update discusses States that have granted us access, those that have not, or have yet to do so http://ow.ly/vowe3049Td3
