We'd like to think rights are inviolable, but they are fragile and borne of stability and surplus. When those are threatened, people get more casual with what they'll do for others.
Also, the very notion of annual meetings has an inappropriate stability baked in. Climate is accelerating, which means the pace of its wrath is not synchronized to budget cycles or the Earth's leisurely path around the sun.
At this point, the very notion of an annual meeting about climate is a statement of denial. It is essential to meet as often and for as long as is needed to get serious action. It may be uncomfortable for representatives to ask there host nation or company for resources or calendar time, itself the most precious resource, but if those entities are not up to feeling uncomfortable in service of something larger, then THAT is the key obstacle and the smoking gun of denialism.
Climate change should be making us uncomfortable. It promises much worse than that, and soon. Discomfort helps to set priorities properly. Smoothing over discomfort admits the acceptability of status quo priorities.
Ask for semi-annual meetings or the right to variable lengths of time to get real points across and obtain serious commitment.
Survival of the species is on the line, and too many places in the world are hierarchically arranged so that that will be managed by herd thinning in vain hope that's enough to let our most affluent survive at the expense of others. In other words, kindness and human rights will be the first casualties of a society structured to preserve its sociopathic leaders at all costs.
And, saddest of all, when the rest are gone, the sociopaths will realize they haven't the skill to do much of anything necessary even for survival, and then they will be gone, too. If I thought we were focused on preserving at least our kindest, or smartest, or hardest working people, I might have hope in this regard. But the ones with the bunkers are none of these things, nor will they be able to keep those bunkers in working order long enough for the planet to recover and humanity to thrive again.

@commissionerHR Reg's scale. So teaching children at early developmental stages, the critical function of prioritizing values, makes for far more malleable adults.
As it stands now; keeping insanity under 2% is near impossible without an education revolution.

"The willingness to shut down any possibility of #asylum is a violation of law, the willingness to return people across a border at risk of persecution is a violation of international law,” says @commissionerHR
Moderate political leaders across Europe need “to stand up for #HumanRights” and not concede “own goals” to populists or “instrumentalising neighbouring states”

With Oleksandra Matviichuk, head of the Center for Civil Liberties (Ukraine), Nobel Peace Prize 2022, we discussed the ongoing suffering of the people of Ukraine, including in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia. We will continue to join forces to insist on putting people at the centre of peace processes and security agendas. #Ukraine #StandWIthUkraine
