Syrians have the right to celebrate the fall of the House of Assad without being lectured by non-Syrians about the reality of their future.

Maybe some of you need a reminder, but Assad wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill dictator. Not only did he run a police state of a frightening degree, but he also burned down his country to stay in power, destroying entire cities and killing hundreds of thousands of Syrians to keep his regime in place.

Let people who have had family members murdered, tortured, and imprisoned by the state have a moment of relief and celebration.

It doesn’t mean they’re naive about Syria’s future.

Still riding high from the Breaking the Scale Barrier @UNDPAccLabs event during #UNGA78 @QatarAtUN @qatar_fund this past #SDGActionWeekend hosted by Her Excellency @AmbAlyaAlThani with @ASteiner & @RyglewskiS Some take aways [ a thread]...

[Richard Gowan @RichardGowan1]

Re #Biden at #UNGA:

I thought that was a solid speech. He framed U.S. support for Ukraine as part of a broader commitment to upholding the UN Charter and helping other nations, countering the narrative that the U.S. cares about Ukraine at the expense of other countries. [1/2]

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

As #UNGA78 High-Level Week kicks off at UNHQ, let's remember these words of @KofiAnnan:

"We will not enjoy security without development, we will not enjoy development without security, and we will not enjoy either without respect for human rights."
