Human Rights Watch on Wednesday called for stronger and more effective commitment from world leaders convening at the United Nations General Assembly from September 22 to 30 in safeguarding the sanctity of the UN from the interference of external political power in its role to protect human rights and promote international justice.
Interim executive director of Human Rights Watch, Federico Borello, stated:
The worsening crisis in Palestine prompted a summit that will be presided over by French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the day before the General Assembly’s annual general debate. This summit is the latest in a series of UN resolution mandated discussions about Palestine and the possibility of a two-State solution, with Resolution ES-10/24, adopted at the Tenth Emergency Special Session in September 2024 and Resolution 79/81 which was adopted in December 2024 providing logistical support and empowering Member States, observer entities, UN bodies, and international organizations to contribute substantively to find a peaceful solution to the unrest in the Middle East.
Recent retaliation from Israel-affiliated countries, such as the US, where sanctions were placed on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials, outspoken Palestinian organizations, and UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, a prominent figure in criticizing Israel’s military ambitions and violations of international law committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, has earned widespread condemnation. These sanctions, primarily born out of the US’s need to halt the ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for their complicity in atrocities committed on Palestinian soil, have since been criticised by ICC President Tomoko Akane as “draconian economic sanctions…as if it was a terrorist organization.”
The US President Donald J. Trump ordered a “review” of the US” contributions to the UN, a decision that has negatively impacted UN monitoring and investigations, which aim to ensure the smooth transition of resources to countries such as Sudan, where the eruption of civil war has paralyzed the country, and Haiti, where gang violence remains rampant.

The urgent call comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis and human rights violations worldwide, such as in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, etc.
