"It does not in any way indicate that staff are to remain neutral or impartial in the face of racism," ~⁦@antonioguterres⁩
Indeed, true neutrality is standing on the side of the principles and values of the @UN no matter who is on the other side. https://t.co/JJhB7g9jh2

I welcome the United Nations Secretary General’s clarification that UN staff can exercise their right to peaceful protest. Thanks @antonioguterres for listening to many voices. The UN stands for justice and the fight against racial discrimination

[Young UN Talks @YoungUNTalks]

As people worldwide are speaking out against injustice, the @UN and its Member States have a key role in upholding the #RuleofLaw to ensure #HumanRights & #EqualJustice for everyone. ⚖️

[UN Office on Drugs & Crime @UNODC]

What are the A-B-C's of the rule of law❓

🔸All people, institutions, and Governments are accountable to the law
🔸Being applied equally is a MUST for all laws
🔸Compliance with #HumanRights standards is key

Do you live within a society where you can #Act4RuleofLaw❓

[Former UN Special Rapporteur FoAA rights @cvoule]

UN ban on protest should be lifted. UN staff have the right to peaceful protest. See my op-ed here https://t.co/M6lRnxdYRp @Maina_Kiai @ICNLAlliance @CIVICUSalliance
