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.

Informations reçues concernant les mesures punitives imposées à des étudiants pour avoir participé à une manifestation pacifique à l'ETH Zurich en solidarité avec le peuple palestinien, qui a donné lieu à des poursuites pénales à leur encontre. Nous sommes également préoccupés par des rapports fondés sur des preuves alléguant une coopération entre l'ETH Zurich et des universités israéliennes qui font partie du complexe militaro-industriel, facilitant potentiellement le transfert de connaissances et de technologies susceptibles d'être utilisées pour commettre de graves violations du droit international humanitaire et du droit international des droits de l'homme, y compris des crimes de guerre, des crimes contre l'humanité et le crime de génocide, dans le territoire palestinien occupé.

Information received concerning the designation and imposition of sanctions by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) against three prominent Palestinian human rights organisations – Al-Haq: Law in the Service of Man, Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) – and the severe impacts on their operations and staff. We are gravely concerned that these sanctions, which appear to have been imposed in connection with the organisations’ cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC), may unjustifiably restrict the work of independent human rights defenders and organisations, undermine civic space, and impede access to justice and accountability.

In one emblematic case, Mr. S. Ramburn, a person with disabilities residing in a property in Forest Gate, in the London borough of Newham, and his family had to live for two and a half years with no electricity, experienced four ceiling collapses, as well as severe damp and mould which affected the health of the family, including causing tinnitus and skin issues for one of the children, and severe mental health issues for Mr. S. Ramburn. L&Q and several other residential developers and housing associations managing social housing in England appear to systematically fail to ensure or restore the habitability of their rentals, a key element of the right to adequate housing. Despite past interventions of the Housing Ombudsman, the situation does not appear to have improved.

Concerns the human rights situation of Indigenous Peoples in Indonesia. These include the lack of formal recognition of Indigenous Peoples; the erosion of their rights under the revised Special Autonomy Law in West Papua; the revival of the transmigration policy and its detrimental impact on cultural integrity; and the adverse effects of National Strategic Projects, extractive industries, and green energy initiatives on Indigenous lands and livelihoods. We also highlight specific cases, such as the expansion of nickel mining in Kabaena and its impact on the Bajau Indigenous Peoples and the dispossession and threats faced by the Cek Bocek Indigenous Peoples in Sumbawa. We have also received allegations of the exclusion of Indigenous communities from conservation efforts, affecting their territories, lands and resources. Additional concerns include the criminalization of Indigenous land defenders and the existential threats faced by Indigenous Peoples in isolation.

Informations reçues concernant les conséquences négatives sur les droits humains que causent la construction et la mise en opération d’une usine d’ammoniac dans la municipalité de Ahome, Sinaloa, Mexico, par l’entreprise Gas y Petroquímica de Occidente (GPO), filiale de la société Suisse PROMAN. Ces activités affectent les droits des Peuples Autochtones, des communautés de pêcheurs, les enfants, et tous les résidents de la région, en particulier leur droit à un environnement propre, sain et durable, leur droit à la santé, leur droit au développement et leur droit de maintenir certains modes de vie et pratiques culturelles liés à la nature et à la terre, et dont la mise en œuvre semble avoir porté atteinte à leur droit à défendre leurs droits humains, notamment leurs libertés d'expression, de réunion et d'association. Les émissions résultant de l'exploitation de l'usine contribuent également au changement climatique, avec des impacts négatifs supplémentaires sur les droits humains. De plus, la production et l'utilisation de produits pétrochimiques ont des répercussions sur les droits humains en aggravant le changement climatique, la perte de biodiversité et la pollution toxique. Ce projet d’usine d’ammoniac aurait été approuvé sans consultation appropriée des habitants de la région ni avec le consentement libre, préalable et éclairé des Peuples Autochtones concernés.

Information received regarding the potential negative human rights impacts of the construction and operation of the ammoniac plant in the municipality of Ahome, Sinaloa, Mexico, by Gas y Petroquimica de Occidente (GPO), subsidiary of PROMAN. These activities would affect Indigenous Peoples, fishing communities, children, and all residents of the area, in particular their right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, their right to health, their right to development, and to maintain specific ways of life and cultural practices related to nature and the land, and the implementation of which seems to have raised obstacle to their right to defend human rights, including freedom of expression, assembly and association, among others. Emissions resulting from the plant's operations, as well as the production and use of petrochemicals, will also contribute to climate change, exacerbate biodiversity loss, and toxic pollution, with additional negative impacts on human rights. This project of ammoniac plant is reportedly being financed by KFW IPEX-Bank, domiciled in Germany and by additional financial resources from the German Government, and has been approved without adequate consultation with the inhabitants of the region, and the free, prior and informed consent of the Indigenous Peoples concerned.

Energy Fuels’ main investors BlackRock Inc., Alps Advisors Inc., both based in the United States, and Mirae Asset Global Investments, based in the Republic of Korea. The Base Toliara Project would encroach on the lands of communities, and as a result those communities members may loose their lands and livelihoods as they fully depend on these lands and natural resources. The project would also pose severe environmental threats that impact local livelihoods and health. Public protests from local communities against the project have been reportedly violently suppressed, resulting this year in the killing of three people on 23 March 2025 and the detention of twenty others from March to May 2025.

Information received concerning alleged violations of the rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly in the Merauke Regency of South Papua Province in Indonesia, arising from the implementation of National Strategic Projects (NSPs).These projects have reportedly resulted in violations of affected communities’ rights to food, water, health, nutrition, culture, and tradition, and a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, with women and children being particularly vulnerable to the consequences. Additionally, the Indigenous communities are reportedly facing intimidation and criminalization, with a high presence of military personnel in the region supporting companies in clearing forest lands. Indigenous and community leaders, as well as environmental human rights defenders, continue to face threats and criminalization for advocating for their rights.

Information received concerning the transfer of arms and ammunition by your company to Israel, which is likely to have enabled deliberate, disproportionate or indiscriminate attacks in Gaza by the Israeli military, which has resulted in extraordinary loss of life and serious injury, the widespread destruction and damage of homes, the destruction of vital food and water infrastructure, health, education, and justice facilities, and other catastrophic impacts human rights violations. Such actions may amount to serious violations of international human rights, international humanitarian law and international criminal law. The information received suggests that your company has continued transferring weapons without any clear evidence of adequate heightened human rights due diligence to avoid fueling violence and human rights violations. Your company would become an accomplice of such violations, as they are knowingly providing assistance to Israel for actions amounting to serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and making profit out of such assistance. Transfers have also continued despite Israel failing to implement the United Nations Security Council’s demand for a ceasefire in Gaza and the International Court of Justice order requiring Israel to take all necessary measures to avoid a real and imminent risk of genocide occurring in Gaza.

Information received concerning the arms being transferred by and/or with the support of United States to Israel after 7 October 2023, granting direct military aid to Israel, issuing new arm exports licenses, and failing from reviewing the risks assessment of existing ones against the new circumstances. Those arm transfers would contribute to disproportionate attacks on Gaza by the Government of Israel, which could amount to gross violations of international humanitarian law and human rights. Furthermore, the information suggests that United-States-based defense businesses, notably Boeing, Caterpillar, General Dynamics, RTX, Oshkosh, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin have continued transferring weapons to Israel during this time, with the facilitation of the Government, without conducting heightened human rights due diligence, hence fueling violence and human rights violations. In addition, United States-based companies are investing in the listed defense companies exporting arms to Israel, including Bank of America, BlackRock, Capital Group, Causeway Capital Management LLC, Citigroup, Fidelity Management & Research Co. LLC, INVESCO Ltd., JP Morgan Chase, Harris Associates LP ,Morgan Stanley & Co.

The transfer of arms and ammunition is likely to have enabled deliberate, disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks in Gaza by the Israeli military, which has resulted in extraordinary loss of life and serious injury, the widespread destruction and damage of homes, the destruction of vital food and water infrastructure, health, education, and justice facilities, and other catastrophic impacts and human rights violations.

Furthermore, the information suggests that United Kingdom-based defense businesses, notably BAE Systems, have continued transferring weapons to Israel, with the facilitation of your Excellency’s Government, without conducting adequate heightened human rights due diligence. These businesses would become accomplices in such violations, as they are knowingly providing assistance to Israel for actions amounting to serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and making profit out of such assistance. Transfers have also continued despite Israel failing to implement the United Nations Security Council’s demand for a ceasefire in Gaza and the International Court of Justice order requiring Israel to take all necessary measures to avoid a plausible risk of genocide occurring in Gaza.

Information received concerning the transfer of arms and ammunition by your company to Israel, which is likely to have enabled deliberate, disproportionate or indiscriminate attacks in Gaza by the Israeli military, which has resulted in extraordinary loss of life and serious injury, the widespread destruction and damage of homes, the destruction of vital food and water infrastructure, health, education, and justice facilities, and other catastrophic impacts human rights violations. Such actions may amount to serious violations of international human rights, international humanitarian law and international criminal law. The information received suggests that your company has continued transferring weapons without any clear evidence of adequate heightened human rights due diligence to avoid fueling violence and human rights violations. Your company would become an accomplice of such violations, as they are knowingly providing assistance to Israel for actions amounting to serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and making profit out of such assistance. Transfers have also continued despite Israel failing to implement the United Nations Security Council’s demand for a ceasefire in Gaza and the International Court of Justice order requiring Israel to take all necessary measures to avoid a real and imminent risk of genocide occurring in Gaza.

Information received concerning the exploitation of migrant workers and risk of further abuse and ill treatment. Fraudulent recruitment of migrant workers by criminal networks operating in Bangladesh and Malaysia. Migrant workers are recruited by fake companies, obliged to pay exorbitant recruitment fees, deceived and brought to Malaysia where they are subjected to debt bondage. Some migrants are employed in Malaysia but many find that – contrary to promises mad to them - there is no job for them. Consequently, many become destitute and subject to arrest, detention and deportation. Their humanitarian situation is serious, potentially life-threatening and requires urgent attention of the competent authorities.

La realización de actividades extractivas en Cajamarca supone una amenaza para la realización de derechos humanos fundamentales como el derecho a la alimentación, al agua y a un medio ambiente sano. Además, desconocería el derecho de las comunidades campesinas a una consulta significativa, afectaría gravemente a sus medios de vida y despreciaría su identidad cultural como campesinos.

Información recibida en relación con la presunta vulneración del derecho humano al agua potable en los departamentos de Montevideo y Canelones a partir de la crisis hídrica que afecta la disponibilidad y seguridad del agua para consumo y uso humano en esas zonas. Dada su intrínseca relación con la sobrevivencia humana, esta vulneración del derecho al agua potable constituiría un riesgo al derecho a la vida, a la salud, y a la alimentación de la población que vive en estas zonas. Asimismo, de acuerdo con la información recibida, el derecho al agua potable y saneamiento, a la vida y a la salud de ciertos grupos de población está en mayor riesgo porque la crisis del agua les ha afectado desproporcionadamente. La vulneración del derecho al agua potable se ve presuntamente agravada por la priorización de usos productivos y comerciales en el país, cuya actividad no se ha visto reducida pese a la alarmante situación, así como por la falta de inversión en la infraestructura acuífera del país y por una disminución de personal cualificado en la empresa de titularidad pública que gestiona el agua, las Obras Sanitarias del Estado (OSE).

Information concerning difficulties encountered in establishing a durable flow of vital medical supplies to Iran in the context of U.S. sanctions against the country; and particularly the reluctance of key parties to be involved in the supply despite the exemptions that are supposed to allow humanitarian goods to be shipped to Iran. This reluctance, due to substantial overcompliance with the sanctions, has impeded the establishment of lasting arrangements for procuring and shipping medical supplies to Iran, forcing a shift toward ad hoc arrangements that add complexity, time, costs and uncertainty to the supply process, which negatively impact the right to health and right to life of patients for whom the supplies are destined.

The Act, if passed by the Senate, would weaken regulations governing the approval, use and monitoring of pesticides in Brazil, exposing farmers, workers, indigenous peoples and peasant communities to hazardous substances. The draft bill would also allow the use of carcinogenic pesticides, as well as pesticides with a higher risk of reproductive and hormonal problems and malformations in babies. In addition, it would contravene the current measures and commitments your Excellency’s Government has taken to set out clear expectations of responsible business conduct, including respect for human rights.

Information received concerning a partnership signed between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Colombia and a Chilean oil company, GeoPark, operating in Colombia. The operations of this company in the department of Putumayo, Colombia, which are the subject of the partnership with UNDP, have allegedly had adverse impacts on the human rights of the indigenous population and human rights defenders living in the area. Therefore, by entering into the Alliance "United for Territorial Reactivation" with GeoPark, UNDP could contribute to the negative impacts on human rights. Although UNDP decided to cancel the agreement with the company following the public opposition of indigenous communities to this alliance , this case may suggest the lack of systematic implementation of a human rights due diligence process, in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, by UNDP in the context of its business relations.

Las operaciones de dicha empresa en el departamento de Putumayo, Colombia, objeto de la alianza con el PNUD, habrían tenido impactos negativos sobre los derechos humanos de la población indígena y de las personas defensoras de derechos humanos viviendo en la zona. Por ende, al suscribir la Alianza “Unidos por la Reactivación Territorial” con GeoPark, el PNUD podría haber contribuido a los impactos negativos sobre los derechos humanos. Si bien el PNUD decidió cancelar el acuerdo con la empresa tras la oposición publica de las comunidades indígenas a esa alianza, el caso podría sugerir la falta de aplicación sistemática de un mecanismo de debida diligencia en materia de derechos humanos, en línea con los Principios Rectores de la ONU sobre Empresas y Derechos Humanos, por parte del PNUD en el marco de sus relaciones comerciales.

Allegedly, not only does the project threaten the livelihoods and homes of these families, but it will also cause irreparable damage to the wetlands ecosystem, place more than a million people at increased risk of flooding and pollute the Mekong and Bassac rivers with untreated sewage and harmful pollutants posing serious risks for the communities living along the rivers and relying on them as a source of income and food.

Alegaciones de abuso de autoridad y funciones, y falta de protección de manifestantes y defensores de derechos humanos, por parte de la Policía Nacional nicaragüense en el marco de una manifestación campesina contra la construcción del Canal interoceánico en Nicaragua. Según las informaciones recibidas, en el contexto de acciones de comunidades campesinas y pueblos indígenas contra la construcción del Canal interoceánico en Nicaragua, el Consejo por la Defensa de la Tierra, Lago y Soberanía habría convocado una marcha campesina a nivel nacional para el 27 de octubre de 2015, con el fin de protestar contra el mencionado proyecto y demandar la derogación de la “Ley Especial para el Desarrollo de Infraestructura y Transporte Nicaragüense atingente a El Canal, Zonas de Libre Comercio e Infraestructuras Asociadas” (Ley n. 840). Las autoridades habrían obstaculizado la participación de las personas en las manifestaciones sin razón o motivo aparente. Se reportaron varias detenciones, presuntamente arbitrarias, confiscación de bienes personales, sin mandato judicial y agresiones a los manifestantes por parte de otros grupos de individuos, sin la debida protección por parte de las autoridades. Estas alegaciones conllevarían presuntas violaciones de los derechos a la libertad de reunión y libertad de expresión, así como el derecho a la libertad y a la seguridad personal.

Letter to Vale S.A on alleged detrimental human rights impacts caused by the collapse of an ore tailing waste dam in Bento Rodrigues, a district of Mariana municipality in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, belonging to Samarco Mining S.A., a joint venture between Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brazil Ltd. According to the information received, 50 million cubic metres of iron ore waste washed away the Bento Rodrigues district of 600 inhabitants and the ‘mud wave’ penetrated the whole extension of the Doce river and the sea beyond the estuary, affecting the entire ecosystem of the region in its downstream path of 850 km towards the sea. Around 3 million people are estimated to be affected. Studies have shown the toxicity of the wastes, with high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, barium, lead, manganese, copper, iron, nickel, zinc, antimony, chrome, cobalt, vanadium, phosphor and aluminium reported. Most cities in the flood path have had water cuts, since their main water source is the Doce River and the water is untreatable for human consumption due to the large presence of suspended solids and heavy metals. It is reported that 11 bodies have been found and 12 persons are missing. Hospitals have also received patients displaying symptoms of intoxication by heavy metals. Similar communications were sent to BHP Billiton Ltd and Samarco Mining S.A., see above, case nos. OTH 11/2015 and OTH 12/2015.

Presuntas violaciones de varios derechos humanos de al menos 12.000 personas que viven en 14 comunidades en el departamento de El Petén, Guatemala, debido a la contaminación del río La Pasión además de alegaciones de restricciones en el trabajo de defensores de derechos humanos denunciando esta situación. Según la información recibida, desde abril de 2015 se ha encontrado una gran cantidad de peces muertos flotando en el río. Se alega que la muerte de peces en el río La Pasión está relacionada con la presencia de altos niveles de un pesticida organofosforado llamado "malatión". La contaminación del río fue responsabilidad de REPSA, una empresa de aceite de palma que tiene una plantación y una planta de procesamiento ubicada cerca de los afluentes de dicho río. Se alega además que el río La Pasión es una fuente hídrica esencial para el sustento de aproximadamente 12.000 personas del municipio de Sayaxché. Igualmente, se ha constatado que miembros de las comunidades utilizan el agua del río para lavar ropa, pesca cocinar, beber, bañarse y para la agricultura de subsistencia.

Allegations concerning the trial and conviction on charges of criminal defamation of an Angolan journalist and human rights defender. According to the information received, Mr. Rafael Marques de Morais was indicted in January 2013 on charges of defamation in relation to his book titled "Blood Diamonds: Corruption and Torture in Angola" which was published in Portugal in 2011. It is alleged that a number of procedural irregularities took place during the pre-trial period of Mr. Marques' trial. Furthermore, additional charges were lodged against Mr. Marques when the trial started on 24 March 2015, bringing the total criminal defamation charges lodged against him to 24. Conviction on such charges could allegedly lead to a nine year prison sentence and fine of 1.2 million USD. The case had reportedly been settled by way of a negotiated agreement in May 2015. However, the settlement agreement was then reversed and the court sentenced Mr. Marques to six months in prison, suspended for two years, whereby, if he engages in any behaviour that the Republic of Angola deems criminal, the sentence will be implemented.

Alleged negative impact on lowest incomes of rising water costs leading to water poverty. According to a report by the House of Commons Library, in England and Wales water bills might not be affordable for a large number of people. Nearly one-third of those on the lowest incomes already have to pay more than 3 per cent of their income for their water and sewerage bills. If people pay more than 3 per cent of their income for water and sewerage, Government regards them as being affected by ‘water poverty’. According to a survey, 23.6 per cent of households in England and Wales paid more than 3 per cent of their net income after housing cost on water and sewerage in 2009-2010. Nearly half of those paid more than 5 per cent of household disposable income. This is a sharp increase compared to 9 per cent of households who were affected by ‘water poverty’ in 2002-2003. National Debtline received a record 19,667 calls for help with water debts in 2012 (up from 12,225 in 2011). The figure represents an increase of 251% since 2007.
