On March 6th International Fellowship of Reconciliation - IFOR delivered an oral statement at the 43rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva concerning the situation at the Turkey-EU border, expressing deep concern for the violence registered against people on the move and for the suspension of asylum procedures which is against international law, as highlighted by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Unfortunately, there is a severe retrogression of human rights in Greece, including the issue of the right to conscientious objection to military service.
IFOR referred to the Right to Life and, additionally, urged all member states to ratify the UN Treaty to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, adopted in 2017.
IFOR is a member of International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and its branches engage to support the #nuclearban.
