[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Five European nations have determined that Russia poisoned Alexei Navalny.

This was a cowardly act from a frightened leader.

Russia has long acted as a terrorist state, relying on terrorist methods.

Poisoning political opponents.
Silencing journalists.
Invading peaceful neighbours.

This is the true face of Russia today.

We honour the memory of Alexei Navalny and of all those whom Putin’s Russia has violently silenced over the years

📹 Abbiamo avuto il piacere di ospitare al Centro Sportivo di Martignano "Gust-E'– Storie da Gustare", che rappresenta un’eccellenza di inclusione sociale nel Salento.

👉🏻 Nato dall'impegno quotidiano dell'Associazione "L-otto", l’innovativo Bar Point, attivo a Muro Leccese, ha l’obiettivo di promuovere la partecipazione attiva di persone che convivono con disturbi psichici. Una storia di riscatto in cui l'occupazione diventa la chiave per restituire speranza e futuro a chi spesso si trova ai margini della società.

❤️‍🔥 Dalla cucina al campo: la preparazione condivisa della puccia è stata il cuore dell'incontro tra i ragazzi di "Gust-E'– Storie da Gustare" e il nostro gruppo squadra.

Godspeed, strength and best wishes to you, @BarhamSalih, as you start your tenure as the 12th @UN High Commissioner for @Refugees!

Exclusive: The Trump administration is ramping up its efforts to deport people to other nations, filing almost 5,000 motions in November alone seeking to dismiss asylum cases and arguing that applicants can get asylum there. w/ @atmccann + @Haleaziz

I am honoured to have been elected as the incoming United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. As a former refugee, I know first-hand how protection and opportunity can change the course of a life. That experience will inform a leadership approach grounded in empathy, pragmatism, and a principled commitment to international law. My foremost responsibility will be to refugees and others forced to flee—upholding their rights and dignity and advancing durable solutions so that displacement remains a temporary situation, not a permanent fate.

At a time of record displacement and severe pressure on humanitarian resources, delivering on UNHCR’s mandate requires a renewed focus on impact, accountability, and efficiency. This is a shared responsibility. UNHCR will build on the important reforms undertaken in recent years to strengthen operational effectiveness and value for money. I will work with Member States and partners across the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to mobilize the capacity, resources, and collective will needed to reach those most in need.

I am grateful to the Secretary-General, António Guterres, and to the General Assembly for their confidence, and to High Commissioner Filippo Grandi for his principled and tireless leadership during a period of extraordinary global challenge.

I look forward to working closely with UNHCR’s dedicated staff, states, partners, host communities, and, most importantly, refugees themselves to advance protection and durable solutions fit for both the promise and the perils of the 21st century.

[Dominique Isabelle Hyde @DominiqueHyde]

Big news: @barhamsalih will be the next UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

He knows displacement first-hand and brings the perspective of a former President of Iraq, an exceptional combination for the challenges ahead.

[EU at the UN - Geneva #MultilateralismMatters @EU_UNGeneva]

At the #RefugeeForum, the EU was represented by a strong 🇪🇺 Delegation, led by Commissioner @magnusbrunner. We reaffirmed our support for the multilateral system of international protection and engaged in discussions on asylum systems & major displacement crises.

[Gonzalo Vargas Llosa @llosa_gonzalo]

We welcome the pledge made today by the Syrian Government at the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review, to find sustainable solutions for Syrian refugees and integrate them into national policies and plans.

Key commitments include:

✅ Ensuring voluntary, safe, and dignified return through accurate information to allow refugees to take informed decisions.

✅ Strengthening cooperation with UNHCR via joint programs for refugees and IDPs.

✅ Working with international partners to rehabilitate infrastructure and essential services.

✅ Supporting early recovery through development projects, job creation, and local investment.

✅ Prioritizing vulnerable groups—women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

✅ Leveraging the expertise of Syrian refugees abroad for national recovery.

✅ Promoting good-faith efforts in international forums to address root causes of displacement.

@UNHCRinSYRIA will continue to support these commendable efforts for Syrian refugees and returnees.

[Magnus Brunner @magnusbrunner]

We will continue aligning our political, operational and financial tools to strengthen protection, foster self-reliance of host countries and contribute to durable, future-oriented solutions. We are committed to a Whole-of-Route and Comprehensive Approach to migration.

Great to meet you again, this time in Geneva @IOMchief!

We will continue to pursue a whole-of-route approach when it comes to migration management, and work closely with the IOM.

[Magnus Brunner @magnusbrunner]

As we look ahead, I congratulate Barham Salih on his nomination to succeed you. I look forward to our future cooperation.

[Magnus Brunner @magnusbrunner]

Thank you, High Commissioner, for your dedication and tireless service to improving conditions for the most vulnerable. In what has been your last year and my first, you were are trusted counterpart.

Tomorrow our common journey starts to implement the Pact for the Mediterranean.

The Pact will be launched in Barcelona together with EU Member States and partner countries from the Southern Mediterranean.

#OneSeaOnePactOneFuture

[Dubravka Šuica @dubravkasuica]

On my way to Barcelona 🇪🇸 for a truly historic moment!
When I was Mayor of Dubrovnik, I had the privilege to take part in the 10th anniversary of the Barcelona Process. Now, 20 years later, I’m proud to launch the Pact for the Mediterranean with our partners.

Highlights of my trip include:
📌 Launch of the Pact for the Mediterranean at Ministerial level
📌 Regional Forum of the Union for the Mediterranean Ministerial Meeting
📌 “Barcelona +30: Empowering Local Action for Regional Transformation” conference by MedCities

Another major step toward a more stable, secure and prosperous Common Mediterranean Space.

Grateful to @EUAsylumAgency and panelists for today's engaging #StateOfAsylum discussion where I highlighted how a routes-based approach aligns stakeholder efforts across migration routes, linking return & reintegration, protection and legal pathways through stronger partnerships
