Researchers from the Human Rights Council to investigate Afghanistan’s violations
On Monday, the UN Human Rights Council intensified the pressure on the de facto The authorities in Afghanistan for the increasingly serious violations of international law that take place there.
In a resolution adopted without vote, the 47 Member States of the Council established a new body investigation body to gather evidence of the “most serious” crimes committed in Afghanistan under the Taliban government, even against women and girls.
The objective is that the work of the new investigators is used in national, regional or international courts or courts, according to the resolution, which was introduced by Denmark in the name of the European Union and, widely welcome by countries, including Copatrocinator Chile, France, Iceland and Mexico.
Japan also expressed a deep concern about the repression facing the Afghan population and emphasized that the rights crisis was not a problem that Afghanistan or its neighbors could solve alone.
Nigeria launches the largest integrated vaccination campaign in its history
As of October 6, Nigeria is launching the largest vaccination campaign integrated into its history, as part of its broader efforts to support its “Primary Health Care under the same roof”, which seeks to integrate all primary medical care services under a unified management structure to improve coordination, efficiency and accessibility.
With the aim of reaching more than 106 million children, the initiative is an response to the current outbreaks of polio, measles and rubella in Nigeria and throughout the Lake Chad basin.
These diseases raise serious health risks. Measles is highly contagious and potentially fatal, especially among malnourished children, while rubella can cause severe birth defects if contracting during pregnancy.
Aims to stop outbreaks
In coordination with other African countries through a national cross -border plan, Nigeria aims to stop active outbreaks at the end of 2025 and eliminate the remaining risks at the end of 2026.
Delivered in two phases, the first phase of the campaign is directed to 20 northern states of high risk and the state of hear in the southwest.
Phase two, as of January 2026, will expand to the remaining South states, ensuring that each community is reached, including the most remote and unattended areas.
“Nigeria’s integrated approach establishes a strong example for the region. By joining the efforts against measles, rubella and polyomyelitis, and when working hand in hand with communities and partners, we are approaching the day when no African child suffers or dies of these preventable diseases,” said Dr. Mohammed Janabi, the Regional World Health Organization (WHO) for Africa for Africa.
