@CanbackRasmus The CiO acts and issues statements independently; these don’t necessarily reflect the Secretariat or all participating states (- Armenia). So I primarily see this as Finnish priority. Finland chairs only due to a pre-war anniversary agreement, there’d be no consensus for it now
On the eve of #EUAntiTraffickingDay, the @OSCE conference in Sarajevo highlights the global fight against forced labour in supply chains.
Tackling this transnational issue requires collaborative action. New EU regulations reflect growing commitment to ethical #supplychains. OSCE Senior Advisor @FBonertz emphasizes: "For countries seeking to enhance their trade standing, aligning with these standards offers not only moral but also market advantages. It's not only the right thing to do; it's smart business."

@tavisupleba Well, I’m quite fond of that icon on this particular . Especially in times when countries on the EU orbit seem to pivot towards copying the full Schengen stamp design. On top of that like to think that these symbols transfer identity and it seems to matter to many.
#Armenia's government implementing new decision on removing Mount Ararat from entry/exit stamps, effective starting 01 January 2026.
* Many observers fear that the removal of national symbols, changes to the anthem, the inclusion of Turkish writers such as Feridun Oral in children’s school textbooks, and a possible constitutional amendment next year suggest the government is aligning its policies with the interests of #Azerbaijan and #Turkey, regarded as key supporters of Pashinyan.

With the 🇬🇷Greek Labour Inspectorate, we co-hosted a conference in Athens on #SupplyChain ethics & #HumanRights due diligence. Over 120 officials, business and civil society reps discussed ways to combat #humantrafficking and labour exploitation👇https://t.co/IikGbfIgNl
@ThatchEffendi Half of the mid-century stuff and some newer pieces I have is weirdly enough from there as well. Brussels definitely has good architecture and design, that’s for sure
@ThatchEffendi I don’t think Belgrade places have allure of some rundown boozer in some Glasgow suburb. Brown’s does an ‘excellent’ job recreating that sort of setting, including their questionable“blocked loos matter poster” next to the urinal
