The Journey to Defend Human Rights Never Ends | Inter Press Service

The journey to defend human rights never ends – and vigilance against roll-backs of rights is vital. I honour all those who, in their own ways, are working to defend human rights. As a woman and a lifelong feminist, I want to pay particular tribute to women human rights defenders, who have been at the forefront of social movements that have benefitted all of us. They have often been the ones bringing to the table the unheard voices of the most vulnerable. I will continue to stand with you as I return home to Chile.

To end, I would like to thank you journalists, based here in Geneva and across the globe, for the indispensable work that you do. When we in the UN Human Rights Office raise the alarm, it is crucial that it rings loudly, and this is only possible when the world’s media gets the stories out there.

My son came into the world, as my friend lay down his life

A poem in Vietnamese by Nguyễn Bắc Sơn

My son came into the world, as my friend lay down his life

Upon the setting of Venus

We were there for the rise of the same star

O Trần Thái

The year my first son was born

The same year you lost your life

A guerrilla soldier blind

Blindly shooting

At the body of a drowsy officer out in the battle field

In a blinding bloody war

How could anyone stay up?

When you died little brother

You will be the thunder

The golden dust

The wind and the clouds

In the eternal life and death of the universe?

My son

The year you were born into your father’s warm house

Out there, out in the smoky foggy jungle

COVID-19 deaths reach 1 million worldwide so far in 2022 – ABC News

One million people have died from COVID-19 so far this year, the World Health Organization has revealed, describing it as a “tragic milestone”.

Since the pandemic began more than two and a half years ago, more than 6.4 million people have died from COVID-19 across the globe, according to WHO data.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday the figures reached this week demonstrated the world was not “learning to live” with the virus.

“This week, we crossed the tragic milestone of 1 million reported deaths so far this year,” he told a press conference.

“We cannot say we are learning to live with COVID-19 when 1 million people have died with COVID-19 this year alone, when we are two and a half years into the pandemic and have all the tools necessary to prevent these deaths.

“We ask all governments to strengthen their efforts to vaccinate all health workers, older people and others at the highest risk, on the way to 70 per cent vaccine coverage for the whole population.”
