In an Opinion dated September 20, 2024, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) recognized the arbitrary nature of the deprivation of liberty of Abdurrahman Abduljalil Mohamed AL FARJANI, a young Libyan arrested on December 27, 2014, at his home in the Al Lithi neighborhood by an armed militia affiliated with Khalifa Haftar. 

In accordance with United Nations Resolution 168 of 31 October 1947, United Nations Day is celebrated annually on 24 October to commemorate the anniversary of the entry into force of the Charter of the United Nations in 1945. Article 1 of the Charter defines the purposes of the Organization. 

On October 11, 2024, Alkarama submitted its report as part of Kuwait's fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR), which will take place during the 49th session (April 28 to May 9, 2025) in Geneva.

On October 16, 2024, Alkarama addressed an urgent appeal to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions regarding the risk of extradition faced by Saudi citizen Ayesh Al Harby, currently detained in Iraq. 

On October 10, 2024, Al Harby was brought before the Al Rusafa court, which informed him of his imminent extradition to Saudi Arabia, where he risks being executed, or at best, tortured. 

Resolution 47/196, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 22, 1992, proclaimed October 17 as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The purpose of this day is to draw attention to the need to respect inherent human dignity and social responsibility towards communities and individuals living in poverty, rather than the relentless pursuit of profit and gain at the expense of human beings.

On October 15, 2024, Alkarama submitted a letter to the United Nations (UN) Working Group on Arbitrary Detention regarding the developments in the case of Libyan MP Hassan Farjani Salem. 

Alkarama participated in the opening of the World Forum of the People of East Turkestan in Istanbul, which is being held for three days and aims to commemorate the struggles of the East Turkestan Uyghur people against the Chinese occupation, with the participation of delegations from all over the world.

Every year on this date, 2 October 2024, the world commemorates the International Day of Non Violence, which was established by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 61/271 of 15 June 2007, as an occasion to disseminate the culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence.

Alkarama strongly condemns the deliberate targeting of civilians amid the ongoing Israeli bombardment of densely populated residential areas in Lebanon. At the same time, occupation forces persist in perpetrating acts of genocide in Gaza, systematically erasing entire Palestinian families without facing any form of deterrence.

Every year on this date, 21 September 2024, the world commemorates the International Day of Peace, which was established by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 55/282 of 7 September 2001, “as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence, an invitation to all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day”.
