In the last two weeks, Eswatini struggles to bring democracy to the last absolute monarchy in Africa. Meanwhile, the UN urges states to take action regarding the risk for refugees and stateless people who are missing out on COVID-19 vaccinations. Greece reports the latest of a long series of abuses against migrants, while in Nicaragua president Ortega has launched a series of arrests targeting the opposition and potential rivals in the upcoming general elections in November 2021. Finally, we take a look at the international community's reaction to Turkey formally leaving the Istanbul convention, causing concern not only for human rights associations but also the LGBT+ community.
