He stressed that \u201chuman rights &#8211; first and foremost the protection of civilians &#8211; must be the top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. T\u00fcrk noted that over the past 10 months, civilians &#8211; mostly women and children &#8211; have endured unbearable pain and suffering as the result of bombs and guns. \u201cEverything, and I mean everything, must be done to avoid this situation spiralling further into an abyss that will only have even more terrible consequences for civilians,\u201d he said. The human rights chief is the latest UN official to join Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres in calling for de-escalation as tensions continue to rise following the spate of attacks.<\/p>\n<p>In late July, 12 civilians, mainly children and teenagers, were killed after a rocket struck a football field in the Israeli-occupied Golan. Days later, a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon\u2019s capital, Beirut, followed by the killing of a Hamas political chief in Tehran, Iran. Last Friday, UN Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland said he had \u201cengaged in critical discussions with the relevant parties and member states in the region, including Lebanon, Egypt and Qatar, in support of regional de-escalation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/08\/1152816\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/middle-east-un-rights-chief-warns-against-wider-war-appeals-for-urgent-de-escalation\/\">Middle East: UN rights chief warns against wider war, appeals for urgent de-escalation<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,5529,15571],"class_list":["post-132825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-middle-east","tag-un-rights"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132825\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
