🔴 UPDATE: Israël heeft ons ziekenhuis in Gaza #AlAwda twee uur gegeven om te evacueren. Onze collega’s behandelen hier nog steeds patiënten.

Dit is schandalig. Het geweld en de aanvallen op de gezondheidszorg zijn ongekend. We moeten onze medewerkers en patiënten te beschermen.

We are proud to take over as chair of the @FO_Coalition in 2024. A free, open and secure internet will only be possible if all countries are connected to it, if they are digitally secure, and if they have rules and regulations that protect human rights online. 1/3

🇳🇱🌐Proud of the #Netherlands' new international cyber policy, which builds on the pillars of cybersecurity, human rights and #InternetGovernance! 💪 Let's champion these principles together to create a safe, fair, and connected global community!#CyberPolicy #DigitalRights

[Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 @DutchMFA]

The Netherlands is dedicated to keeping the internet open, free and secure. But the global cyber domain is under pressure due to strategic competition, cyber attacks, and more. That is why the Dutch government presents its new international #cyberstrategy: https://t.co/GDvlMvUtBk

Het lijkt erop dat geen enkele partij de impact van digitalisering hoog op de politieke agenda heeft komende verkiezingen, dat is problematisch, het raakt aan alles: democratie, banen, onderwijs, veiligheid, duurzaamheid, wetenschap, media, zorg, mensenrechten, kunst en cultuur

[Dutch ambassador to Japan @GillesBP]

On King’s Day in April the Embassy woke up with a giant bill-board next to us. It’s still there and questions why we were absent in the Donbass while children were murdered as from 2014. A strange question, and very sad and inhumane, since flight MH17 was shot down there in 2014.

[Human Rights @RightsGAC]

Canada & Netherlands had an insightful dialogue with civil society on the proposed Global Declaration on Information Integrity Online at #RightsCon. Thanks to @alkanadiyya, @GuusvanZwoll, @alison_gillwald & the excellent moderation of @LauraLThornton.
