I'm shocked & saddened by the deadly fire in the Cox's Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh.
My solidarity with the tens of thousands affected by this tragedy & my thanks to everyone on the ground - including UN teams - assisting them.

More than 11 million people are in detention worldwide. Out tmrw, @amnesty's new report exposes how measures introduced by govts to prevent the spread of #COVID19 virus have often been inadequate and, in some cases, led to more human rights violations #AFairShot
I am here in Mozambique this week with @RaoufMazou. Horrific violence against civilians in the northern parts of the country has forced almost 700,000 people to flee their homes.
"As the virus rages, the @UN has mobilized fully to save lives, stave off famine, ease the pain and plan for recovery. Our voice has been clear, calling for solidarity, unity and hope." - @antonioguterres

The Queen displayed the extraordinary power tonight of one word: EXPERIENCE.
No world leader on earth, of any kind, has more than she does.
That's why she always knows exactly what to say.
It's a remarkable gift.
Peace is not just the absence of war. Many women under lockdown for #COVID19 face violence where they should be safest: in their own homes.
Today I appeal for peace in homes around the world.
I urge all governments to put women’s safety first as they respond to the pandemic.
70 de Conventions de Genève.
70 ans de lutte.
Pour que soient épargnés ceux et celles qui ne prennent pas part à la guerre ou qui ne sont plus en mesure de se battre.
Congratulations to Tanzania’s Supreme Court of Appeal who upheld a ruling banning the marriage of young girls & directing the gov’t to raise the legal age of marriage to 18 years within a year.
I offer @UN_Women’s full support in the amendment of the law.
