When Europe speaks up with one voice, for human rights and the rule of law, the world listens.

Very pleased to engage with the #EU Foreign Affairs Council today in Brussels.

War is not inevitable. And we cannot accept it as the new normal. When countries use military force, civilians suffer.

We need stronger, more comprehensive efforts to build lasting peace through human rights & international law.

Yesterday was the 🇳🇴#UPR47 at @UN_HRC. We are strongly committed to the UPR process which allows states to report on #humanrights and make recommendations for continuous improvement.

#Norge og @USAID lanserer Fasa-Fondet for å mobilisere mer kapital til mat- & landbrukssektoren i Afrika!

De små & mellomstore landbruksbedriftene er selve drivverket for å sikre matsikkerhet🌍

Likevel har de et finansieringsgap på over NOK 800 mill!

Norge jobber aktivt for å beskytte menneskerettighetsaktivister på tvers av partipolitikk. God og viktig samtale om #menneskerettigheter under @arendalsuka @akravik79 @NorwayMFA @RaftoFoundation @Amnesty_Norge @saih

[Liv Hernæs Kvanvig @LKvanvig]

Takk for muligheten til å delta i viktig samtale på Arendalsuka om menneskerettighetsforsvarere i krisetid og hvordan Norge kan bidra!

- Støtte til menneskerettighetsforvarere kan være mye, vi i @noradno kan tildele penger til fond og paraplyorganisasjoner som igjen støtter menneskerettsforsvarere på grasrota. Men det handler også om å kunne tilrettelegge for møter, og gi folk en plattform, sier @LKvanvig

[Liv Hernæs Kvanvig @LKvanvig]

Ja til et inkluderende samfunn for alle! 🌈

[Norad @noradno]

#Pride🏳️‍🌈handler om å synliggjøre og stå sammen om menneskerettigheter, mangfold og kjærlighet som vi aldri kan ta for gitt. Ingen er fri, før alle er fri.

Norad støtter #Pride2023🌈

- The war is on our bodies, on our identities. We call upon the global community to keep paying attention, sier menneskerettighetsaktivisten Pepe J. Onziema om situasjonen i #Uganda, der presidenten nylig signerte verdens strengeste lov mot homofile.

Norad støtter #Pride2023🏳️‍🌈

[Utenriksdepartementet @Utenriksdept]

Hvorfor er trosfrihet en del av utenrikspolitikken?

Fordi undertrykkelse av religion skjer overalt, også i våre nærområder. En fredelig verden er i vår interesse. Respekt for menneskerettighetene og trosfrihet er en forutsetning for fred og stabilitet👇

Great debate meeting on the dilemmas of donors in countries where #HumanRights are severely violated:

Should we stay or should we go?

[Norad @noradno]

We try to integrate #humanrights in everything we do; in climate, forest, family planning, etc. We’re strengthening that work. Importantly we also support and fund HR-defenders and #civilsociety, says Norads @bardvegar at World Expression Forum #Wexfo

[Bård Vegar Solhjell @bardvegar]

Democracy is under pressure globally, as presented by @StaffanILindber of @vdeminstitute Discussing funding of #HR with @ajnarsee @ferdowner @marianneneraal @vladislavkaim @ingeborgv on #Wexfo - The World expression Forum. My message is that we need to integrate HR in our funding

[Bård Vegar Solhjell @bardvegar]

Human rights defenders play a crucial role in achieving all the sustainable development goals. Great to have #UN special rapporteur @MaryLawlorhrds at @noradno today, here in conversation with @IngeborgMoa of @nhrf_hr #Humanrights #sdgs

[NICFI @Climateforest]

Environmental defenders are not against development, but they want to make sure their trees are not cut down, says @MaryLawlorhrds when visiting @noradno today.

[Norad @noradno]

Working w global development without taking a #humanrights approach is simply not possible. That’s why supporting and strengthening the human rights defenders at high risk is an important part of what we do, says Norad’s @bardvegar in meeting w @MaryLawlorhrds and @IngeborgMoa

[Norwegian Helsinki Committee @nhc_no]

- #Pride handler om kjærlighet og omtanke for andre. Dette er det motsatte, sier Helsingforskomiteens generalsekretær @LindemanBerit. - Våre tanker går til ofrene, deres familier og til alle i LHBT-miljøet som igjen føler redsel og utrygghet.

[Norwegian Helsinki Committee @nhc_no]

- The attack in #Oslo has again created fear and insecurity in the #LGBT+ community, says NHC Secretary General @LindemanBerit. - #Pride is about love and care for others. This is the opposite. Our thoughts are with victims and their families.
