As Armenia prepares to host the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP17) in Yerevan from 19 to 30 October 2026, Human Rights House Yerevan (HRHY) and Human Rights House Foundation (HRHF) call on the Armenian authorities to ensure a safe and enabling environment for environmental human rights defenders, activists, journalists and civil society organisations working to protect the environment and promote public participation in environmental decision-making.
At the UN Human Rights Council, Human Rights House Foundation highlighted the deteriorating human rights situation in Georgia, including continued restrictions on civil society, the targeting of Human Rights House Tbilisi, and ongoing violations in Russian-occupied territories. HRHF called for stronger UN scrutiny and continued international engagement.
At the UN Human Rights Council, Human Rights House Foundation highlighted the escalating use of Russia’s criminal justice system against residents of occupied Crimea and called for stronger UN monitoring of closed and politically motivated trials. HRHF cited analysis by Human Rights House Crimea member organisation, Crimean Process, which documents a sharp rise in “high treason” prosecutions alongside systematic fair-trial concerns.
