This month's biggest human rights news (2 August - 13 September 2021)

Check out our latest biweekly podcast focusing on the latest human rights developments and stories from around the world.

In the past two weeks, hardliners and internationally recognised terrorists are among the representatives of the new interim government of the new Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan; a coup in Guinea overtakes president Condé’s third term, citing human rights violations and economic mismanagement as the main reasons behind the coup; the US Supreme Court recently refused to stop an abortion ban to take effect in Texas, provoking a national backlash and accusing the law of unconstitutionality; and finally, the French Supreme Court deemed the cement company complicit in crimes against humanity in Syria.
