Quite a powerful image by Somali artist Nujuum Hashi Ahmed with the caption, “decide, law, peace”. Nujuum tackles various day to day aspects of life in Somalia through her paintings, including the rights of women, politics, peace and conflict.

Read an update on the situation of asylum seekers in the Moria camp on the island of Lesbos. Truly heart wrenching, people waiting for 3 years to simply be registered. With all the finger pointing in the #HumanRights sphere European countries would do well to fix things at home

War isn’t just a waste of resources that could be used to tackle climate change, but is itself a significant cause of environmental harm https://t.co/l9LH1voTWD

After visiting refugee camps in Jordan, UN-backed schools in Gaza, municipalities in Kosovo and Youth Councils in Denmark, the UN’s Youth Envoy visited the Security Council with a simple message from the field that “young people care about peace”. #Peace https://t.co/SYjvlstMW9

While publicly outing human rights violations can (and has) brought results, sometimes behind the scenes negotiations can be just as effective. It should not be forgotten that the aim is providing justice/remedies to victims and preventing future abuses. #StandUp4HumanRights

As the world’s largest human rights organization, we want to send a clear message that continued investment in coal, oil & natural gas companies is at odds with human rights, because of the direct link between their activities & climate disaster. https://t.co/F5j5EMiAOQ

“It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.” quote by Eleanor Roosevelt #Peace #HumanRights

[Martin Andrysek @MartinAndrysek]

There are extreme cases that might well warrant a (legal) humanitarian intervention in accordance with Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. Rwanda in 1994 to stop the genocide would be one such example, or giving UN peacekeepers a stronger mandate in the Bosnian war to protect civilians.

What is long overdue is a binding human rights treaty for multinational corporations - who often wield far greater (undemocratic) influence than many states. The idea has been around for decades - its a lack of political will that prevents its adoption. https://t.co/xZsggpGZrs
