I went into the protest and interviewed Vincente (16) who fights in the frontline of the Chilean protests. "Without us the people wouldn't be able to protest in peace." But not all Chileans agree with the fighters in the frontline.

A historic milestone at the @PeacePalace: the signing of the Ljubljana-The Hague Convention, a landmark treaty to improve prosecution of international crimes. The Netherlands has cooperated closely on this with Argentina, Belgium, Mongolia, Senegal and Slovenia since 2011. 1/3

50 years ago, Chile’s democratically elected government was violently overthrown. The Netherlands stands with #Chile and its people today to commemorate the tens of thousands innocent Chileans who were murdered, imprisoned, and tortured after the coup d’état. #50AñosdelGolpe

This is big, and I hope a precedent: TVN openly talks about how it transmitted lies and indoctrinated Chile during the dictatorship.

[Boris van der Spek @BorisvanderSpek]

It's probably the most horrible thing you'll read today and that's exactly why you should read this. You can't defend this. You can't forget this. You can only commemorate this, and continue to seek justice.

Women around the world still face many challenges. Today, I had an inspiring conversation with a group of remarkable female leaders from the #MENA region. They are taking part in the @DutchMFA Women Leadership Programme. We remain committed to empowering women everywhere.

Impressive meeting with LGBTIQ+ activists from #Poland, #Hungary and #Slovakia. The Netherlands stands in solidarity with these activists and will continue to support them in their fight for equal rights, within the #EU and beyond!

It was an honour meeting these courageous Human Rights Activists from Eastern Europe as part of #HumanRightsWeek and hearing their moving stories.

[Wopke Hoekstra @WBHoekstra]

When it comes to human rights, the world is clearly moving in the wrong direction. Creating awareness is key, both within and outside our borders. This #HumanRightsDay marks the end of the first edition of the #HumanRightsWeek, during which we involved young people worldwide. 1/2

I look forward to our upcoming state visit to the Hellenic Republic later this month. In preparation, NL has welcomed a delegation of Greek journalists today. Had the pleasure to answer their questions on several topics concerning our countries. Thank you for visiting!

The Netherlands recognised #Croatia as an independent state thirty years ago today. The 🇭🇷🇳🇱 diplomatic relationship, which started on Feb. 28 in 1992, has blossomed since. Today, we work closely together as friends and partners in Europe and around the world. Čestitke Hrvatska!

[Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 @DutchMFA]
