Iraq, a party to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance since November 23, 2010, is called upon to act to locate the victims of enforced disappearance and to provide concrete answers to families seeking truth and justice. 

On November 2, the world celebrated the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, while the Israeli occupation continues relentlessly its war against journalists in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories. 

Today, as the world marks the "International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists," Yemeni journalists face a dire situation, enduring violence, intimidation, and killings due to their expressions and opinions. The impunity enjoyed by perpetrators further exacerbates these violations. We, the undersigned organizations, call on the international community to focus on the escalating violations against journalists in Yemen and to take concrete actions to protect them.

Alkarama highlights the possibility of invoking universal jurisdiction against Iraqi officials involved in collective arbitrary executions, which have recently increased in frequency. 

Iraqi authorities recently carried out one of the largest waves of executions since 2003, handing over the bodies of at least 50 executed detainees by hanging at the central prison of Nasiriyah in the south of the country in September. 

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.
