#NB8 thank @UNIECAR1 for his dedicated efforts in the Central African Republic.

We welcome the law to protect HRDs but remain concerned about human rights violations & abuses. We call on CAR government to hold free, transparent & fair elections.

No opportunity should go wasted. Next step can be to establish a broader foundation based on national unity, democratic principles & aspirations of the people. Only a truly inclusive process will give lasting peace.

Political process must be Sudanese owned and led - al-Sudan lil Sudaniin. Roadmap issued after consultations in Port Sudan is significant & highlights importance of reaching a political settlement. Time is of the essence. 1/2

Important statement by UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk on the disproportionate use of force in #Georgia

[Embassy of Norway in Ghana @NorwayinGhana]

Congratulations to @JDMahama and NDC on the victory in the 2024 elections, and to @MBawumia for accepting the results so gracefully. Both leaders are serving Ghana and democracy! 🇳🇴looks forward to cooperating with the 🇬🇭new leadership!

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

The recent escalation in Georgia, including violent attacks on protesters and media representatives, is deeply disturbing. Those responsible must be held to account.

Attacks on journalists are attacks on democracy itself. We expect police forces to protect peaceful protesters.

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

Human rights are not optional.

On #HumanRightsDay, Norway stands firm in defending human rights, amid rising conflicts, disinformation and inequality.

We must confront challenges with renewed support and commitment to human rights defenders, international law, and peace.🕊️

[Norway in Geneva 🇳🇴 @NorwayInGeneva]

Protecting & supporting women’s participation is a 🇳🇴 #WPS priority.

Encouraging news in a desperate situation in Darfur #Sudan :

@WFP_Sudan convoy with food has finally reached the famine-affected Zamzam camp. This is the first UN convoy to reach Zamzam since April

Parties must allow unfettered, safe and sustained humanitarian access at scale.
