- We urge States, especially Global North States, to implement Special Procedures’ recommendations and call for a permanent ceasefire, and immediately stop their support for Israel’s genocide. This Council must concern itself with human rights violations and do away with double standards.
HRC 55: Joint statement to Item 3 General Debate
Remote participation is crucial, due to the obstacles faced in accessing multilateral spaces, including discriminatory visa and resource requirements, environmental and security concerns and accessibility.HRC 55: SRI Statement to the Annual meeting on the rights of the child
We cannot continue talking about the universality of human rights and social protection while selectively restricting access to protection for specific groups of children. In order for social protection for children to be universal and comply with children’s rights, we must hold States accountable for their obligations not only within their borders but also globally.HRC 55: SRI, CREA & TCIG Statement to the Annual interactive debate on the rights of persons with disabilities
In many instances, social protection benefits are not accessed by persons with disabilities due to family’s own perception of their legal incapacity. We need to understand what are the additional support elements which need to be available for accessing services ensuring the inclusion of persons with disabilities.HRC 55: SRI Statement to the Interactive dialogue with the Independent Expert on Foreign Debt
As noted in the report, military spending by Global North states reflects their priorities and disregard for basic human rights - and we remind states in the Global North that their military aid and arms exports currently contribute to the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza, in violation of the current ICJ provisional measures order.CDH 55: Declaración de la SRI en el diálogo interactivo con la Experta Independiente sobre Deuda Externa
El informe señala que el gasto militar de los Estados del norte global refleja sus prioridades y su desdén por los derechos humanos básicos. Recordamos a esos Estados que su asistencia militar y exportaciones de armas están colaborando con el genocidio del pueblo palestino en Gaza, violando las medidas provisorias ordenadas por la Corte Internacional de Justicia.HRC 55: Joint statement to the Interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities
While we appreciate the focus on gendered aspects of care economies, we reiterate that the rights of persons with disabilities to be re-centered in this area, in line with the UN CRPD article 23 as persons with disabilities, in all diversity, are parents, caregivers, and rights holders.HRC 55: SRI Statement to the panel discussion on challenges and good practices to realize the right to social security and to provide quality public services
President, this panel comes at a critical juncture for the premier multilateral body responsible for promoting and protecting human rights. UNDP has documented that “twenty-five developing economies, the highest number since 2000, spent over 20 percent of their government revenues in 2022 on total external debt servicing.”HRC 55: Joint Statement on International Women’s Day
Our response to these coordinated attacks must be focused on building solidarity across movements and issues, and on strengthening transnational ties that enable us to amplify and elevate each other’s priorities and demands. This is why today we echo the global feminist call for the March 8th strike and stand in solidarity with Palestinian feminists and women in Gaza who are facing human rights violations of an unprecedented scale yet who are still building solidarity and paving the way for collective liberation.SRI Conversations Summary: The Political Economy of Sexual Rights 2023
Sexual rights are profoundly impacted by the interrelated global crises brought on by capitalism through rampant neoliberalism, unchecked extractivism and climate degradation, violent populism and nationalism, soaring inequality within and between states, and entrenched patriarchal, racist, classist and ableist systems of oppression. As part of the development of a new ten-year strategy, SRI sought to deepen its analysis of the political economy of sexual rights. Using a participatory approach, SRI convened a series of three conversations that teased out different dimensions of the overarching theme. Each conversation drew in various actors working nationally, regionally, and globally.
This document contains a summary of the interventions of our 3 conversations of 2023 on the political economy of sexual rights.
Resumen de las Conversaciones SRI 2023: La economía política de los derechos sexuales
Las crisis globales interrelacionadas entre sí y creadas por el capitalismo mediante el neoliberalismo rampante, el extractivismo sin control y la degradación del clima, el populismo y el nacionalismo violentos, la desigualdad cada vez más en aumento al interior de los estados y entre ellos, y los sistemas de opresión patriarcales, racistas, de clase y capacitistas enraizados tienen un impacto profundo sobre los derechos sexuales. Como parte del desarrollo de su nueva estrategia a diez años, la Iniciativa por los Derechos Sexuales (SRI) se propuso profundizar su análisis de la economía política de los derechos sexuales. Utilizando un enfoque participativo, la SRI organizó una serie de tres conversaciones en las que fuimos desmenuzando las diferentes dimensiones del tema.

UPR 44 Azerbaijan Submission - Social Charitable Center Women and Modern World (CWMW) and the SRI
This submission reflects on the progress that Azerbaijan has made since its last review to meet its obligations to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. Azerbaijan received and supported recommendations during the last cycle of the UPR on gender equality, violence and discrimination against women, as well as women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues. These include bodily autonomy, reproductive health and family planning, sexual orientation and gender identity, maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, and child marriage. These sets of rights are cornerstones of democratic societies.
