Welcome to our priority campaigns blog, with the latest news and more indepth analysis of our bigger campaigns.
Our priorities change as human rights changes around the world, and right now we're focusing most on our 'Crisis and Transition in the Middle East & North Africa' campaign, and our work to secure the world's first global Arms Trade Treaty. But you'll also find comments and updates on our work on women's rights, LGBTI rights and human rights abuses by corporate companies.

About this blog
The Urgent Action Network is made up of 150,000 people around the world who are outraged by injustice and prepared to act swiftly at critical moments to stop it.
Urgent action is based on a simple idea: when someone is in immediate danger of serious abuse, the government responsible for perpetrating or failing to prevent that abuse will receive thousands of faxes, telegrams, emails and air-letters from every part of the globe. Those messages tell the authorities that the world is watching, and create pressure to stop the abuse.
We'll update you on Urgent Action cases, good news stories and other interesting facts and information we hear about from our campaigners. We hope it will persaude you to join the Urgent Action Network!
