[Claudia Fuentes Julio @UNHumanRightsNY]

Honoured to join @UNHumanRights in New York!

Human rights often do not reach the international agenda, but they should.

I look forward to working with @volker_turk, @dabokunda, colleagues and partners worldwide to bring human rights to the centre of global action.

[Kleber Mendonça Filho @kmendoncafilho]

Parabéns, Walter Salles. Que fala importante.

Ontem no Prêmio Faz Diferença de @jornaloglobo no Rio de Janeiro.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

I welcome the progress from the Decade for People of African Descent: laws reformed, voices empowered, cultures celebrated. Yet systemic barriers persist - ones we must dismantle. We need a Second Decade: driven by action, dismantling racism, and led by people of #AfricanDescent.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Human rights bring a focus on fact, on law and on compassion

That is particularly crucial in the fog of war.

When my Office rings warning bells, the international community needs to listen.

Investment in human rights is investment in peace.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

War destroys.

Lives, communities, environment.

War also poisons minds & fuels revenge.

War can only truly end when respect for human rights reestablishes reason & compassion, accountability & justice.

For peace, today I called @UN General Assembly to invest in #humanrights.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Wrapping up intense days at #UNGA.

I met with high-level Govt authorities, business leaders, civil society, artists, scholars & students.

We face daunting challenges; people need hope & determination.

Human rights offer solutions for #OurCommonFuture.

Human Rights, Education & Art — only amazing things can come from this.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Climate change is a human rights crisis. Solutions exist, but we need a global
movement to drive change. Powerful partnership w/ @RecordingAcad, @rhrn_climate & @UniofOxford, using music & education to propel the message of human rights & inspire action for climate justice.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Discrimination leaves people behind & hinders #OurCommonFuture.

Threats to the rights of LGBTIQ+ people are, alarmingly, once again on the rise.

We must learn from the brave activists leading the way & join efforts in pushing back against hate.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Human Rights will help us build this path towards #OurCommonFuture of peace, development, equality & justice.

They offer concrete solutions to current & emerging challenges.

I call on the international community to fully embrace them.

[UN Development @UNDP]

@ritacarvana Vale MUITO à pena!

[Laura Gelbert Delgado @lgelbert]

Eu visitei o Museu da Memória uma vez há quase 15 anos e nunca mais esqueci. Em poucos lugares me senti tão emocionada.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

I am deeply moved by the Memory and Human Rights Museum in Santiago, Chile. I pay tribute to the victims of grave human rights violations, their families, and all who have been courageously and relentlessly searching for truth and justice.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Congratulations to our 2023 UN Human Rights Prize Winner, Julienne Lusenge, on making #TIME100 list of the most influential people in the world.

#Iran: We are alarmed by execution of Samira Sabzian over alleged killing of her husband whom she was forced to marry at age of 15. We again urge Iran to establish a moratorium on all executions with a view to abolishing death penalty.

[Dodô Azevedo @dodoazevedo]

Gilberto Gil cantando Hey Jude na platéia do show do Paul McCartney no Maracanã é tudo o que precisávamos para terminar o ano bem.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Music, like human rights, speaks to all of us. It heals divisions. It inspires positive change. It restores dignity.

Delighted to be @carnegiehall for the world premiere of Daron Hagan’s cantata, an embodiment & celebration of the UDHR. https://t.co/nO3YijmNga #HumanRights75

[Laura Gelbert Delgado @lgelbert]

@marcosathias @ASteiner Parabéns!!!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the horrific attacks by Hamas.

Those horrendous attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

A binary view of the world - either you are with me or against me – is never going to advance the cause of peace.

Human rights is exactly the opposite -- it is a force that binds us all.

We need to work all together to avoid this polarization.
