UN Urges Vigilance Against Far-Right Political Gains in Europe
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for increased vigilance against the rise of far-right political movements in Europe. These movements often dehumanize migrants and asylum seekers, creating a dangerous 'alarm bell' for what could come, according to Volker Turk in Geneva.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday called for vigilance in the face of far-right political gains in Europe, citing narratives that dehumanise migrants and asylum seekers.
"We need to be very vigilant because especially history tells us, in particular in Europe, that the vilification of the other, that the denigration of the other, is a harbinger for what's to come," Volker Turk told reporters at a press conference in Geneva, calling it an "alarm bell".
