Violent disorder is on the rise. Is inequality to blame? https://t.co/vuhrBsYHSm #society #wef19

🌍 Today, on #MultilateralismDay, we publish a new op-ed by Anna Chernova on the growing imbalance between #HardPower and #SoftPower in global security.

As conflict rises, cuts to #InternationalAid & #Peacebuilding risk weakening #HumanSecurity.

Ahmed Ba'alawi, a @WFPYemen employee, has died after being abducted by the Houthis on January 23—another tragedy in the ongoing violations against international aid workers.

Outstanding event. Much appreciated. #Syria communities in the UK are an inspiration.

[David Taylor MP @DavidTaylor85]

It was an honour to host @BritishSyrian Consortium for a reception in Parliament celebrating the fall of Assad and talk about their hopes for the future and a free Syria. Thanks to all who came, including @HFalconerMP @UKSyriaRep.

Lack of clarity in asylum freezes leaves asylum seekers in limbo — unable to make decisions affecting their livelihoods, housing, work, and education — and uncertain as to their ultimate fate.

Oxfam stands in solidarity with communities coming to terms with the senseless killings in Southport and the racist riots across the country. Hate will never divide us. There is no them. Just us.

[Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS) @GAPS_Network]

The recent racist and Islamophobic riots in multiple cities across the UK, fuelled by far-right and fascist movements, are deeply distressing and should raise serious concerns for the UK Government.

1000 days since Taliban BANNED teenage girls from going to school.

Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where girls are prohibited from school or university. In the 21st century, this is a disgraceful blemish on humanity. https://t.co/rcom7KdLpJ

Russia was forced to attack Ukraine because Ukrainians wanted to join NATO?

NATO promised it would not expand to the east but later broke this promise?

It will take me less than five minutes to prove with facts that both statements are false.

[The Elders @TheElders]

Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders, reacts to the final COP28 agreement:

“The COP28 agreement, while signalling the need to bring about the end of the fossil fuel era, falls short by failing to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out.

If 1.5°C is our ‘North Star’, and science our compass, we must swiftly phase out all fossil fuels to chart a course towards a liveable future. To fail to keep global warming below 1.5°C has catastrophic implications for the most vulnerable communities and countries.

At a time of profound global challenges, that nations have managed to salvage enough common ground in Dubai to keep the climate action process moving forward is notable. Progress on loss and damage and tripling renewable energy demonstrate the vital role of multilateralism in addressing the climate crisis. However, at COP28 transparency, equity and climate justice have been undermined by misleading language, false solutions and game-playing. Furthermore, the final agreement lacks the critical financial keys to unlock the trillions of dollars needed for any just transition. Without providing the necessary means for implementation we doom those countries on the frontlines of the climate emergency to failure.

Climate action must not cease because the gavel has come down on COP28. World leaders must continue to urgently pull together and find ways forward to tackle this existential threat. Every day of delay condemns millions to an uninhabitable world.”

Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders and former President of Ireland

🚨 UK ABSTAINED on vote at @UN demanding ceasefire in Gaza ⛔️

The UK's continued failure to support a ceasefire means it is complicit in the humanitarian catastrophe being inflicted on 2.3 million people.

📢 While the vote is non-binding, the majority of the world has made clear that an urgent humanitarian ceasefire is now absolutely essential, as is the release of all hostages.

My ⁦@guardian⁩ comment: Those onboard the Bibby Stockholm brave enough to speak out have said they feel like “victims of a game” played by politicians. It is a game that has appalling human consequences. We should never forget that. https://t.co/m3eD44BsFq
