!humanrights@crazypeople.online is a SAFE place to discuss human rights and related laws.

Related: !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org (but down votes → less safe)

Human rights law comes from many sources. E.g:

1948 (UDHR) Universal Declaration of Human Rights
1950 (ECHR) European Convention on Human Rights
1953 (CPHRFF) Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
1976 (CCPR) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
1976 (CESCR) International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights
2016 (CFREU) Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU

One important factor that makes this forum a safe structure is that silent down votes are impossible. Rationale:

Down votes are a form of suppression.
Silent down votes are uncivil and antithetical to human rights because they deny the other person the dignity of understanding.

How to express your urge to down vote: post a civil criticism that avoids logical fallacy (ad hominems in particular). Or up-vote an existing civil post that captures your criticism.

Moderation:

The moderator has a hands-off moderation style generally. However, human rights matters in a place calling itself “safe” calls for an extra degree of civility, thus uncivil posts will likely be more prone to mod intervention than other forums under the same moderation team (a team of 1 ATM).

In a joint resolution, members of the European Parliament across the political spectrum condemned "China’s repressive assimilation policies and consequent violations of universal human rights, including in Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia", the resolution reads.

"[The Parliament] expresses grave concern over the adopted Law on the Promotion of Ethnic Unity and Progress, which openly promotes assimilation policies and restricts the cultural, religious and linguistic freedoms of various groups within China and beyond."

The lawmakers urge China to repeal the law, thereby upholding its obligations under international law regarding non-discrimination, and call on European Council to activate the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime against officials and entities responsible for conceiving and implementing this law.

The resolution also urges all EU Member States to suspend extradition treaties with China to protect persecuted individuals residing in the EU from the risks of transnational repression under this law.
