Abstract:
On September 23, 2026, more than 130 human rights experts issued a joint statement calling for states and other actors to end transnational repression. UN Special Procedures mandate holders and Treaty Body members, including the UN’s Special Rapporteurs on Iran, Russia, Belarus and North Korea all support the joint statement. It calls for measures for governments, businesses, Interpol and international organizations to prevent and respond to transnational repression.
