Torture is a heinous crime that deeply scars individuals & societies. I thank the Convention Against Torture Initiative for its vital work - driving prevention, punishment, & accountability to ensure our collective rejection of such inhumanity.
We must step up for peace.
Everywhere, peace requires actions grounded in the values of the @UN Charter, the rule of law, and the principles of sovereignty, political independence and the territorial integrity of States.
Conditions of life across #Gaza are unfit for human survival. Food is insufficient, with famine looming.
@JoyceMsuya called on the Member States to use their leverage to prevent and stop violations of international humanitarian law now.
'Didactic' means "designed to teach people something," but is often used derisively.
'Pedantic' generally refers to someone who is annoying for their attention to minor details.
‘Didactic’ can be neutral.
‘Pedantic’ is usually an insult.
We hope you find this post didactic.
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of #HumanRights reminds us that everyone is born #free and #equal in dignity and rights.
Let’s act with compassion and respect to foster a world of equality.

Worldwide, an estimated 9 out of 10 murders of journalists go unpunished.
Impunity breeds further violence.
This must change.
I call on governments to take urgent steps to protect journalists, investigate crimes against them, and prosecute perpetrators – everywhere.
The situation unfolding in northern #Gaza is apocalyptic.
I join the @iascch leaders in urging, yet again, all parties fighting in Gaza to protect civilians, and call on #Israel to cease its assault on Gaza and on the humanitarians trying to help — there is no alternative to @UNRWA.
Our full statement:
Statement:
This afternoon a rocket hit UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura, setting a vehicle workshop on fire. Peacekeepers were not in bunkers at the time. While some peacekeepers suffered minor injuries, fortunately no one was seriously injured.
.@UN peacekeeping can only be as strong as the support of its Member States.

More & more countries are doing whatever they want with no accountability.
That is why it's more important than ever to reaffirm the @UN Charter, respect international law, support & implement decisions of international courts & reinforce human rights.
Anywhere & everywhere.
"We urgently call for a sustained, immediate & unconditional ceasefire. We urge world leaders, once again, to wield their influence to ensure respect for IHL, IHRL & the rulings of the ICJ–through diplomatic pressure & cooperation in ending impunity"

As world leaders gather for #UNGA79, and as the threat of a wider regional escalation looms, @WFPChief and other Principals renew the demand for an end to the appalling human suffering and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Respect for the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems is what has allowed us to help the most vulnerable people around the world for 160 years. ⛑️
They cannot be misused.
They must not be attacked.
They are not part of the fight.
