What an honor to have been appointed as #UN Youth Delegate of Italy!

Advancing youth priorities in UN fora will require a collective mandate that serves those who do not have yet a seat at the table.

Looking forward to engaging with the amazing @ItalyUN_NY in Sept!

Today, on World Day against #deathpenalty & every day, Italy reaffirms its opposition to this degrading punishment which is contrary to the right of life and human dignity. For this reason, Italy stands committed to working with its int’l partners for a universal moratorium as a first step towards its abolition. 🇮🇹, as co-facilitator with 🇦🇷 of the negotiation on the tenth Resolution for a universal moratorium, calls on all States to support this crucial appeal to humankind.

Cannot say this often enough--States and businesses must stop attacks on environmental human rights defenders! Honour the work of these brave people, and accelerate human rights-based climate and environmental action.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

Any transfer of weapons or ammunition to #Israel that would be used in #Gaza is likely to violate international humanitarian law and must cease immediately, human rights experts warned today.

“All States must not be complicit in international crimes through arms transfers."
