@/savoirflair: On #EarthDay, it's crucial to recognize that the guardians of our planet are its indigenous peoples, who have historically maintained biodiversity and preserved natural resources through deep-rooted practices and ancestral wisdom. There is no climate justice without human rights, and we cannot celebrate our planet without honoring its original and eternal custodians. Without the stewardship of indigenous populations like the Palestinians, our environmental efforts are incomplete. Their resilience and ongoing struggle underline that Earth Day is not only a call for environmental action but also for justice and the recognition of the rights of indigenous guardians who have nurtured the land for centuries.

The Êzîdî genocide is ongoing and remains largely unaddressed, despite the obligation of states to prevent and to punish the crime.

The Êzîdî genocide is ongoing and remains largely unaddressed, despite the obligation of states to prevent and to punish the crime.

It is estimated that approximately 7,000 Êzîdîs were captured by IS as they attacked Sinjar in August 2014. As of June 2017, 3,048 Êzîdîs have been able to return to freedom from IS captivity over the last three years, of whom 1,092 are women and 334 are men, and 1,622 children; 819 female and 803 males.

But as many as 1,636 abducted women and girls and 1,733 men and boys remain unaccounted for, and many more have died in captivity.
