Since 2016, a diverse group of #HumanRights organisations have been helping to shape US government policy on the protection of civilians. New @hpg_odi research assesses lessons to take from this initiative 📕 https://t.co/S7uDLyZU1E

As the US "Summit for Democracy" continues today, it's worth remembering how the US has actively destroyed democracies across much of the global South over the past several decades, while propping up authoritarian regimes. Here are a few prominent examples:

[Mwatana for Human Rights @MwatanaEn]

#BREAKING - #NewYork #Sanaa - #USA military should reform how it has responded to civilian harm in #Yemen and more broadly, Mwatana and @CLShumanrights said today in a letter to US @SecDef

[Just Security @just_security]

The US has authorized #humanitarian assistance in #Afghanistan that might otherwise run afoul of its sanctions on the ##Taliban and Haqqani network. But is #education covered?

And you thought "Taking A Knee" was too much!?!

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

"There is a reluctance to identify the kind of violence that Trump is propagating, maybe because it seems too close to calling him a terrorist. You can call him whatever you want, but the tactics he’s using are clearly a form of terrorism.” https://t.co/UvVB2fVOcn

[Robert Greenwald @robertgreenwald]

We spend $83,000,000 on the Pentagon every hour.

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

Although the #MeToo movement brought new momentum to sex abuse movements around the world, few of the women abused in humanitarian environments ever get justice or reparations.

Our panel on justice for survivors of aid worker sex abuse is starting now: https://t.co/glqe3mLL8H

[George Parker @GeorgeWParker]

The extra £4bn a year for the MoD sounds uncomfortably similar from a PR point of view to the approx £4bn a year the govt could save from cutting the aid budget to 0.5% of GDP. @borisjohnson insists to MPs there is "no read across to any other issue".
