                       Opening UNHRC: “Never seen a threat of this scope to human rights”. On Monday, September 9, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet opened the 42ndregular session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva with an update on the situation of human rights worldwide. During the session, scheduled until September 27, the 47 Member States of the Council will examine over 90 reports on a wide range of issues presented by 25 human rights experts, groups and mechanisms. The human rights situations in Myanmar, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Central African Republic and Georgia will also be on the agenda during the session. One year after her appointment, High Commissioner Bachelet stated: “The world has never seen a threat to human rights of this scope. This is not a situation where any country, any institution, any policymaker can stand on the sidelines. The economies of all nations; the institutional, political, social and cultural fabric of every State, and the rights of all your people – and future generations – will be impacted.”

                       Scourge of slavery still claims 40 million victims worldwide. Incidents of modern-day slavery are “only likely to increase” as a result of some of biggest challenges facing the world today, a UN expert outlined in a report for the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday. The Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, Urmila Bhoola, explained that over 40 million people are enslaved around the world, a quarter of them children. Due to problems of environmental degradation, migration and shifting demographics, the scourge of modern-day slavery is expected to grow.
                              Over 60 percent of those in forced labour work in the private sector, Ms. Bhoola said, with women and girls disproportionately affected. Of the female victims involved in forced labour, 98 percent have experienced sexual violence.

                       Political solutions 'Prerequisite to sustainable peace'. While peacekeeping is an “essential tool” for preventing conflict and reducing the risk of relapse, “political solutions are a prerequisite to sustainable peace”, the United Nations peacekeeping chief told the Security Council on Monday.

                       BREXIT: operation Yellowhammer no-deal document published.
                              Riots on the streets, food price rises and reduced medical supplies are real risks of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, a government document has said. Ministers have published details of their Yellowhammer contingency plan, after MPs voted to force its release. It outlines a series of "reasonable worst case assumptions" for the impact of a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.

                       ECFR SURVEY: Give the people what they want – popular demand for strong european foreign policy.
                              On September 10, the European Council on Foreign Relations published a Policy Brief on the outcome of its pan-European survey on the vision and preferences of European citizens on foreign policy and the role they wish to attribute to the European Union in this field. The results show a clear popular willingness to confer more powers to Brussels in this field, to allow the European bloc to build a strong and cohesive foreign policy, independent and capable of setting out its own course in what is considered an increasingly complicated and dangerous geopolitical framework. However, citizens stress, European institutions must demonstrate they are up to the task if they do not wish to see their popular mandate in this regard revoked, and must pay close attention to the policy issues and preferences indicated by the electorate. Among the absolute priorities is the migration issue and the answers citizens expect from Brussels.
