Human Rights Council Addresses Global Crises

On June 23, 2025, the United Nations Human Rights Council convened in Geneva for the sixth day of its 59th session, where pressing global issues such as internal displacement, genocide threats, and migrant trafficking took center stage. The Council is examining the implications of organized crime on rising displacement and the trafficking of women in domestic work.

Key discussions highlighted the alarming increase in internal displacement caused by organized criminal activities. Council members expressed concern over the growing risks of genocide in vulnerable regions, urging immediate international intervention to prevent potential atrocities.

In addition, the trafficking of women, particularly in the domestic work sector, was underscored as a critical issue requiring urgent attention. The Council called for enhanced international cooperation to combat human trafficking and protect vulnerable populations worldwide. These discussions are part of ongoing efforts to address and mitigate human rights abuses on a global scale.
