Happy to see this now published in ⁦@GlobalGovJrnl⁩ - examining the success of the UNGA’s 2022 veto initiative, so far, against its stated objectives: increasing the accountability of the UNSC to the UNGA; & prompting GA action when the UNSC fails. https://t.co/Qp3XTsRAao

Thanks ⁦@just_security⁩ for hosting me on this podcast - we talk about the recent resignation of the UNSG’s #R2P Special Advisor ⁦@GeorgeOkothObbo⁩ & the lack of institutional support for R2P within the UN system ⁦@APR2P⁩ ⁦@GCR2P⁩ https://t.co/8GJW7SEtb5

[Rebecca Barber @becjbarber]

With @APR2P I was privileged to work with the UNSG's #R2P Special Advisor @GeorgeOkothObbo. Alongside others in the atrocity prevention community we were devastated by his resignation. In this article I reflect on why it was so hard for him to do his job https://t.co/RchTblaAld

Thanks for sharing @danielflitton , great to see the Geneva Conventions featured in ideas that changed the world, they’ve still got a lot more changing to do though! (And they’re certainly not becoming less relevant, as suggested at one point in this article)

[Daniel Flitton @danielflitton]

Here, featuring @becjbarber analysis from 2019 - shows the enduring relevance of good commentary! @LowyInstitute https://t.co/OM4JNCPzud

“The #R2P Framework for Action is a sister to the Framework of Analysis. The former illuminate risks; the latter tells us what to do about it.” Thank you @GeorgeOkothObbo for helping us launch the R2P framework for action in the Pacific with @MsgSecretariat & @AusHCVanuatu @APR2P

Director General Melanesian Spearhead Group #MSG urges all Member States to “look at our national policies, regulations, & laws to accomodate State commitments on atrocity prevention & Responsibility to Protect” #R2P @APR2P

[Rebecca Barber @becjbarber]

The Melanesian Spearhead Group Secretariat is “committed to working with ⁦@APR2P⁩ to assist our members in ensuring implementation of commitments made under relevant int’l instruments on #R2P.” What a great opening to inaugural MSG workshop on R2P & atrocity prevention

Our #R2P framework for action is online! Detailing what states can do, domestically & in their foreign policy, to protect populations from atrocity crimes. In other words, what it means to implement the responsibility to protect.
