Topic: Agnes Callamard

Amnesty International's Secretary-General, Agnès Callamard, accuses Western governments of maintaining a double standard by condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine while failing to act on the suffering in Gaza. Speaking at the Paris Peace Forum, she argues this inconsistency poses a significant threat to the global human rights framework.

UN special rapporteur Agnes Callamard released a report concluding that Saudi Arabia is responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The report's timing coincides with a U.S. Senate vote attempting to block multi-billion dollar arms sales to the Saudi kingdom.
