When your mutual follows on Twitter don’t follow you on here. 😂

The regime in Qatar and some PR companies that only care about 💰 are trying to spin a line that no one ever cared about human rights issues in host countries of major sporting events before Qatar 2022.

An obvious lie.

The truth, in @humanrightswatch Daily Brief:

#BreakingNews: #DonaldTrump is back on #Twitter. This follows a #poll by #ElonMusk asking users if the account should be reinstated. The man who incited #violence and domestic #terrorism to overthrow a democratically elected #government is being given a platform.

RT @Christiane@twitter.com

A representative of Belgian railways called disabled activists that campaign for an accessible railway “militants” at a railway conference I’m attending. “Customers” is the right word.

Is Elon Musk’s #Twitter bad for #HumanRights? An interesting conversation by Human Rights Watch on Twitter Spaces, live right now. @humanrightswatch

@dencufre @NadiaBernaz You’re right, Denisse. Thank you for adding that to the conversation.

@NadiaBernaz Thank you. This doesn’t affect me personally. The #vacancy stipulates that applicants must already have the right to work there. This is a common requirement for the reasons that you’ve mentioned. I just simply don’t understand the added restriction on nationality. I am concerned about #diversity and non-EU applicants. It is a senior position in an #INGO office in an #EU country. The job isn’t in the public sector, nor in an EU agency, nor is it a government-sponsored #UN posting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

2022-11-15

recruiter in an international #NGO cold-emailed me about a vacancy that I would be perfect for (they’re right). The #vacancy announcement had the usual #diversity #DEI label at the end. HOWEVER, in the listing, they wrote “Due to labour-law restrictions, we currently only accept nationals from EU countries.”

WHAT is this? 🤨🤔🧐

Unless they’re an #EU agency (they’re not), I'm unaware of any restrictions that prevent hiring someone who isn’t from our region.

If I’m wrong, please let me know. #HR

France and Italy are calling for the entire finance sector to be excluded from the EU #CSDDD due diligence law.

Nobody seems to have explained why the finance sector warrants this special treatment, let alone how this is in the best interests of rights-holders.

@lucdockendorf You’re right, that server is very much EU-focused and lacks human rights content; except mainly what the FRA posts. It’s a shame.

I’m not with the EEAS but I consider it and OHCHR from time to time. On a separate note, I’m curious to see what the future will look like for the 1st class of graduates from the EU’s Diplomatic Academy.

2022-11-08

@stand_for_all Yes, it’s because Mastodon.Social is large. I had the same issue and moved to 𝗯𝗵𝗿𝗲.𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 where E everyone on it is focused on human rights.
1. Open the site on your browser since you can’t reset your password.
2. Search bhre.social and register the username you want (can be this one). You can use the same email.
3. There is something in the settings that lets you transfer your followers from this account to the new one – you won’t lose any. I can DM you how.

@stand_for_all I’m sorry that your going through this. I hope your day becomes better.

@jsrailton Diplomat and strategic advisor in 🇪🇺. I’ve been a human rights defender since I was 7. My favourite childhood memory is not knowing about bills and taxes. I firmly believe that pineapple is a valid pizza topping and it’s a hill that I am willing to die on.

@lucdockendorf Welcome to Mastodon, Luc! I see that we have similar interests. It makes me happy to see colleagues interested in human rights, and using their experience and knowledge towards upholding them.

I discovered a server called "eupolicy.social". It’s EU-focused and might be of interest to you too. I’m still checking it out, but decided to reserve a handle on there @Diplomacy@eupolicy.social.
