Ex Development Officer @UN | Prev. scientist @IPCC_CH WGIII | Interested in knowledge equity, justice, political epistemology and social transformation.
"The UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the instruments of international human rights law are not a menu.
Leaders cannot pick the part they like and ignore the rest."

I've resigned from @hrw after 10+ yrs—most as Israel/Palestine Director—after HRW's new ED pulled a finalized report on the right of return for Palestinian refugees on eve of its release & blocked for weeks its publication in a principled way. Full story: https://t.co/npbjjwBqf5
AI "answer engines" like ChatGPT are gutting the internet's ecosystem by siphoning value from creators without compensation. The result, as this piece details, is shrinking information diversity and a fragile knowledge base.

To those still within the United Nations and other bodies:
This responsibility is not only for activisits, for those outside.
You hold tools.
You have a voice.
Stop waiting for the perfect mandate to do what is already right.
This message, inspired by #PrimoLevi's warning against the danger of ordinary people just following orders, is for worldwide bureaucrats, diplomats, civil servants. If you treat int'l law & human rights as an abstract construct, you may have contributed to the abyss of Palestine/Israel. Your individual role may seem small, but the collective impact of "just doing your job" is profound. Reflect on the machinery you’re a part of, PLEASE.
The @IPCC_CH held a workshop in April on climate and mitigation scenarios, their use & challenges during AR6, & recommendations for AR7
It was a huge collaboration across all #IPCC working groups, & over 100 experts participated
The report is out today: https://t.co/M0XtaBwzyO

The #AR6#SYR is groundbreaking in its examination of issues of equity and climate change. For the first time, the report emphasizes the unequal historical and ongoing contributions, and differential vulnerabilities within and between nations/regions/peoples. (1/n)
