Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ), in cooperation with several other NGOs, submitted twenty written statements in occasion of the 35th session of the Human Rights Council. The statements address the most concerning cases of human rights violations and abuses occurring in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, South Sudan, and Myanmar. The written statements also tackle the issues of migration and internal displacement; analyse the status of the independence of judges and lawyers as well as freedom of expression in Iraq, and explore the impact of violent conflict on the human rights of women. Each statement is concluded with a series of recommendations that GICJ and the co-signatories NGOs wish to address to the UN bodies, and particularly to the Human Rights Council.
