Kudos for shedding light on the shameless treatment of Judge Akay's case by the UN Secretary-General, despite courageous efforts on his behalf by the @unirmct judges, particularly President Theodor Meron and Judge Christoph Flugge.
UNIRMCT Judge Joseph Masanche has authorized subsistence payments to the five remaining #ICTR acquitted and released persons in #Niger through Dec 2026, but ruled that repatriation to #Rwanda after that may be possible. https://t.co/C64FXylv0t

As world leaders gather at #UNGA80, it’s worth asking, is there still a future for collective security? 15 years ago, the UN Ombudsperson was appointed, bringing due process to one of the UN’s most coercive tools. It’s a rare UN success story. So why is it being left to wither?

I'll be offering the perspective of those seeking delisting from sanctions this afternoon at this webinar reflecting on 15 years of the UN Office of the Ombudsperson. Sanctions suck. https://t.co/2wwrnpUmaS
