Information received concerning restrictions on the right to protest under recent amendments to the laws of New South Wales following the Bondi terrorist attack of 14 December 2025, and the application of those laws to restrict protest since 24 December 2025. We are concerned that the laws and their operation are not consistent with Australia’s obligations to respect the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of association, the right to take part in public affairs, and non-discrimination under articles 19, 21, 22, 25 and 2 and 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. As a State party to the ICCPR all Australian public authorities, including the state of New South Wales and its component parts such as the police, Police Minister, and the judiciary, are required by international law to respect and protect the rights under the ICCPR.Alleged victims: - |

Information received concerning the regulations of peaceful assemblies in Northern Ireland. We are concerned that onerous notice requirements, insurance obligations and restrictive administrative practices relating to public assemblies may impose disproportionate and undue limitations on the right to freedom of peaceful assembly, as protected under article 21 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the 1998 Human Rights Act. We are particularly concerned that the prevailing security-focused approach to the regulation of peaceful protests may result in a chilling effect on the legitimate exercise of human rights.

Information received concerning the demolition of the Abu Diab family home located in Al-Bustan, in the neighborhood of Silwan, East Jerusalem. In our view this demolition exemplifies a broader and increasing pattern of home demolitions in East Jerusalem, alongside the establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the same area. The communication expresses concern that demolitions of Palestinian homes are facilitated by discriminatory urban planning laws which make it virtually impossible for Palestinians to obtain legal permits for their homes, for expanding them or for building new ones, and prevent them from accessing legal remedies and an impartial consideration of housing matters before Israeli Courts.Alleged victims: 2 | |

Information received concerning the allegedly pervasive practice of forced labor and involuntary servitude in prisons in the southern United States, including in the states of Alabama and Louisiana. Specifically, it has been reported to us that incarcerated individuals are compelled to work for no pay or for extremely low wages under coercive and punitive working conditions. These practices have allegedly been linked to the disproportionate criminalization of people of African descent, most of them reportedly have a precarious socio-economic background. These practices are particularly prevalent in the southern states and their contemporary manifestation is allegedly linked to the brutal legacy of chattel slavery. Alleged victims: - | |

We are concerned that the Bill could result in criminal trials which are not consistent with international human rights law, including the rights to fair trial by an independent and impartial court, life, liberty, freedom from torture and other ill-treatment, and non-discrimination and equality. We are also concerned about potential political interference in prosecutorial independence, which is essential to a fair trial, the proper administration of justice and the rule of law.Alleged victims: - | |

Information received concerning the arrest of at least 88 people during and after peaceful demonstrations in October 2023 expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people, the enforced disappearance of several of them, the pre-trial detention of 67 individuals, including Messrs. Mohamed Ibrahim Abdulfattah Selim and Omar Khaled Ragab Mahmoud Ghazy, in overcrowded and inadequate detention conditions in the 10th of Ramadan Prison, and the denial of access to legal counsel. The arrests reportedly involved the use of counter-terrorism and national security related accusations and relied, at least in part, on Law No. 107/2013 on the Regulation of Public Meetings, Processions and Peaceful Protests, previously the subject of concerns raised by the then United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and other United Nations mechanisms due to its potential to unduly restrict peaceful assemblies. The information received suggests a broader pattern in which counter-terrorism and public order legislation are applied to restrict civic space and suppress peaceful expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people, leading to arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearance, denial of access to legal counsel and poor detention conditions Alleged victims: 2 |

Information received concerning alleged intentional, widespread and systematic destruction of housing and essential civilian infrastructure, and extensive and repeated forced displacement of civilians, as part of Israel’s military assault in Gaza since 7 October 2023. These acts have rendered the majority of Gaza’s population homeless, drastically shrunk Palestinian residence in and control of Gaza’s territory while rendering it uninhabitable, and are preventing internally displaced persons (IDPs) from returning to their homes. The operations have reportedly been characterized by intentional and indiscriminate attacks on homes and other civilian objects, not justified by military necessity, causing serious bodily and mental harm to civilians; use of weapons with wide-area effects in densely populated residential areas; use of artificial intelligence for targeting homes which have been disproportionate and indiscriminate; pillaging, burning, destruction and bulldozing of homes and civilian infrastructure including in the absence of ongoing hostilities; extensive demolition of structures to create corridors and buffer zones, thereby severely limiting the area available for IDPs; attacks on designated humanitarian zones; steps taken to prevent delivery of shelter and reconstruction as well as prevent the return of IDPs, all in the context of use of force and blockade to maintain prolonged occupation, attempt annexation and thereby commit acts of aggression. The military assault has also included multiple attacks on temporary housing, including IDP and refugee camps, on schools, medical facilities, religious and cultural sites, and other structures used by IDPs for sheltering, including in areas to which Israeli forces had ordered them to evacuate. Between October 2023 and October 2025, estimated indicate that at least 92 per cent of Gaza’s housing units have been either fully destroyed or damaged; over 90 per cent of Gaza’s population has been displaced; and over 86 per cent of Gaza’s territory has been placed under displacement orders or within Israeli-militarized zones. Today, at least 259,000 Palestinian families, more than 1.45 million people, need emergency shelter assistance.Alleged victims: 2100000 | |
