🤝75 years of the European Convention on Human Rights
A landmark treaty that reshaped Europe after the second World War, protecting millions of Europeans and supporting our shared values of human rights, democracy and rule of law.
Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.
@EUCommission
And yet multiple MEPs and their parties are trying to put loopholes into these basic human rights and turn the Charter into a symbolic swiss cheese. Since ~2010 at that. And none of you think about prohibiting such proposals and make them illegal and punishable by law. No. Instead. Year after year MEPs arms deep in lobbyist rectums do their bidding and propose the same shit under new cloak. That is not what Europeans pay your wages for.
Plein respect à nos ancêtres visionnaires qui ont affirmé l'universalité des droits humains!
Un respect absolu de la dignité humaine identique pour toutes et tous sous toutes les latitudes.
Un respect de la dignité humaine qui ne soit pas à géométrie variable, suivant les amitiés que l'on souhaite ménager.
Osons espérer que nous en sommes encore capables.
It's like the US read these and said: "how about Nah!".
@EUCommission if anyone in your country is starving and homeless than i guess human rights are optional
@EUCommission Its so easy to call you out on this. Your allies Israel and UAE are both committing genocide. You are drowning refugees in the Mediterranean. Many commodities imported come from slave labor. There is also slave labor in some EU countries for undocumented immigrants. The anti-terrorism laws in most of your members mean arbitrary arrests and unfair trial. You are constantly trying to legalize surveillance. 500 characters are not enough to properly call you out and source everything.
@EUCommission
most important - the rights shouldn't be only the ink on the paper, they must be reality in life of everyone
@EUCommission Now let's make that a reality because oh boy does this still need a lot of work.
See the current flight between the Spanish judicial (mainly right wingers) and the governing political party (center-leftish)
75 Years of Defending Human Dignity
We often take our freedoms for granted, forgetting they were hard-won and protected by treaties like the European Convention on Human Rights.
This milestone reminds us that our rights—to life, liberty, fairness, and equality—are universal, not optional. We share a duty to cherish and defend these values, ensuring that, for the next 75 years and beyond, dignity and justice remain at the heart of our societies.
@EUCommission And we need the right to food, approved by UN general assembly with only USA and Israel against
yeah, empty words, nobody is fooled after your complicity in a genocide and the silencing of criticism.
You showed the world you do not care about human rights, even of your own citizens, even of your own MPs when they are captured illegally on the Mediterranean Sea and jailed without access to a lawyer or to fresh water.
@EUCommission and yet, ChatControl 2.0 is still on the table, ready to empower the next generation of Gestapo/Stasi/CCP/SORM.
@EUCommission The EU has never been more under attack than now.
Please defend the European Convention on Human Rights like your life depends on it, because it does.
@EUCommission Ultimately depends on who you consider human, doesn’t it?
@EUCommission Why is there no Right to Education....?
@EUCommission Probably a good idea not to conflate the Council of Europe and the ECHR with the EU - the latter needs to do a good deal more to uphold the principles enshrined in the ECHR.
@EUCommission, how does this square with the E.U.–Israel association agreement?
»Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.«
If you believe in it, then it would be time to act accordingly.
We wouldn't have a militarized border, no pushbacks of refugees, no dying of refugees in the Mediterranean Sea, no camps for refugees with miserable conditions, no torture camps as part of the border regime, no human rights abuse in European countries and no tolerance for genocide, apartheid and occupation.
@EUCommission at the time this treaty was signed, European countries were colonizing almost all of Africa and the Caribbean, and vast areas elsewhere in the world. They were not practicing what they were preaching in Europe at all.
@EUCommission Except for Palestinians in Gaza, right?
Hypocrites.

@aral @EUCommission
or anyone within the eu showing solidarity with palestine, like in denmark where a 16 year old lebanese girl got a 30 day prison sentence for writing "Yass 😉🇵🇸" on facebook.

@aral @EUCommission for migrants in the EU and especially at the borders it's apparently optional too.
@EUCommission and there it is "Right to respect of private and family life".
Why is #bigtech not made accountable to this?
Why do we still have #surveillancecapitalism?
@EUCommission empty words! The double standard of the EU regarding Israel vs Russia is appealing and moral indefensible.
@EUCommission our supermarkets and pharmacies are full - and I mean entire aisles in many cases - of goods linked to an apartheid state. The coloniser and genocider in question recently had the EU Commissioner say that the EU “stands shoulder to shoulder with them”.
@EUCommission
If you undermine my rights, you break the social contract, and I have no duties or obligations.
Authority is then about force. We outnumber you.
Every Fascist Falls.
@EUCommission And yet morons in the UK want to leave this...
@EUCommission 100% agree with this. But the #chatcontrol bill you proposed is directly against The Right to Privacy.
@EUCommission So sad that only lipservice is given to so many of these.
This is so important.
It's no wonder successive UK governments want to get rid of it here 😖🤦♀️
@EUCommission Some countries need reminding of these.
Hello Germany!
@EUCommission I feel like EU member nations need to be reminded of this list.
@EUCommission Unless you're in Gaza...
@EUCommission
Why don't you grant them to people from outside the EU?
@EUCommission optionally abolished by law in EU countries though.
