Dag van de Persvrijheid, RSF rapport: "Poetin heeft de militaire censuur ingevoerd op een niveau dat sinds de Sovjet-Unie niet meer is gezien, en een massale desinformatiecampagne gelanceerd om de oorlog te rechtvaardigen". https://t.co/wLeYyhmQOM

An important step in the right direction! While automatic UNGA debates after every use of the veto won't stop the P5 from (ab)using the veto in the short term, it might increase political pressure on the P5 and strengthen discussions on veto reforms in the long term.

The UN General Assembly has just adopted the #VetoInitiative without a vote. Thank you to all Member States that have supported us in this process. Together we have made sure today that a veto is no longer the last word on issues of peace and security.
