12-year-old Salwa left everything behind when war broke out in #Sudan last year.
She dreams of a better life, but is haunted by the horrors she witnessed back home.
281 in favor. Ukraine has finally ratified the #RomeStatute and joined the @IntlCrimCourt. It was a 10-year journey, full of doubts and misunderstandings. But in the end, we did it!
I am grateful to everyone involved.
Now it remains to “deal” with the application under Article 124.
UNL-voorzitter @CasparvdBerg: "We hebben veel te verliezen. Vergelijkbare bezuinigingen hebben de afgelopen jaren in het VK en DK tot een uittocht van topwetenschappers geleid. Dat dreigt nu in Nederland ook te gebeuren.”

This might be a difficult 🧵 to read.
It’s a hard topic to digest.
Hard images to see.
Hard questions.
About everything russia is doing,
