https://t.co/MckBpPhL2t Jihadists in Nigeria are committing one of the deadliest genocides in the world. The victims are mainly Christians. But it is almost completely ignored by the UN, other governments and the press. Ukraine is in the headlines. Nigerian genocide is denied.

Native Americans did not willingly give their land and friendship to the American colonists as the Thanksgiving myth suggests. Indigenous tribes were murdered, forced from their homes and brutalized in a genocide that would ultimately wipe out 90% of the continental population.

"Even when countries initiate #TransitionalJustice processes (...) indigenous communities are (...) not provided adequate justice that is (...) meaningful and culturally relevant to them" Report by our partner @SitesConscience on TJ and indigenous people: https://t.co/f7t1NNGcx4

"I think I’m going crazy. I’ve already killed so many civilians."

The @AP and @FrontlinePBS obtained hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and intercepts of audio calls by Russian soldiers that show what a Russian "cleansing" operation looked like. https://t.co/BkwhEegDLJ

Pursuing #justice for mass atrocities requires societies to take steps to #prevent the #atrocities from recurring and to hold those responsible to account.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

In this moment of peril, I must underscore my duty as Secretary-General to uphold the @UN Charter.

The Charter is clear.

Any annexation of a State’s territory by another State resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the Principles of the Charter & int’l law.
