@siriomerenda #CarloConti non trova umano l’immigrazione, non è umana la guerra. Ma è umana la famiglia. Cosa diciamo della famiglia immigrata a causa del cambiamento climatico? Della famiglia devastata in Ucraina o a Gaza da una bomba? Non è umana la vita stravolta o persa in quei casi?

1/6 ICBL strongly condemns reports that #US plans to transfer antipersonnel landmines to #Ukraine. These weapons were banned by the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty due to their devastating impact on civilians. As a Treaty member, #Ukraine CANNOT acquire or use them.

It has frankly gone worse and worse, and now it is a product associated with a person with questionable ideas.

I will deactivate this account by 15th December. If you are interested to stay in touch with me, please, reach out via direct message.

Many thanks

Dear All,
I will soon deactivate my account on this social network.

It is with great sadness that I am announcing this, as I do enjoy staying in touch with many of my contacts, but this is not Twitter anymore. (it continues)

.@MineActionRev's latest 'Clearing the Mines' report highlights the urgent need for commitment & funding to clear mines worldwide.

As the @MineBanTreaty marks 25 years, this month’s Review Conference provides an opportunity to strengthen efforts.

Today, we held the joint Panel Discussion of the First Committee and the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (Fourth Committee) to address challenges to space security and sustainability.

It was an honor to co-chair this important dialogue alongside H.E. Ambassador Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes, Chair of the Fourth Committee and Permanent Representative of Latvia.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

If implemented, the laws adopted today by the Knesset of Israel would likely prevent @UNRWA from continuing its essential work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with devastating consequences for Palestine refugees.

I call on Israel to act consistently with its obligations under the Charter of the @UN & international law. National legislation cannot alter those obligations.

I am bringing this matter to the attention of the UN General Assembly, and will keep the Assembly closely informed as the situation develops.

There is no alternative to UNRWA.

If these videos do not appeal to our common humanity, I do not know what else could do it.

The horrific scenes unfolding in Jabalia, and northern Gaza must stop.

An entire population is being encircled and forced out, with nowhere for them to go.

My statement:

[Maritza Chan @MaritzaChanV]

I’m deeply concerned by the challenges to humanitarian disarmament.

States must urgently reverse this trend & reaffirm their commitment to protecting civilians under IL.

In times of heightened conflict, our resolve to uphold humanitarian disarmament is more vital than ever.

[MAG (Mines Advisory Group) @MAGsaveslives]

In #Gaza, MAG & our partners @syfspal have now trained five teams to deliver life-saving messages to residents, thanks to support from @UMC_UMCOR.

These messages help protect people from the dangers of explosive items that have failed to explode.
