#WPS debate in #UNSC is also a moment when a delegation showing up is fully female. The optics change the public perception of the Security Council

[NorwayUN @NorwayUN]

Coming up at 3⃣pm today: Informal closed #SecurityCouncil discussion on #Ethiopia

#NorwayUNSC will continue to press for #UNSC action on #Tigray

🔹 There is no military solution to this conflict
🔹 A return to ceasefire is urgent
🔹 Blocking humanitarian access is unacceptable

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

The decision in the US Supreme Court is a serious setback. I am appalled that access to safe abortion in several states is weakening.
Norway will increase international cooperation to strengthen girls' and #womensrights to abortion and contraception - @AHuitfeldt

[NorwayUN @NorwayUN]

1/ Time and time again the #UNSC hears harrowing testimonies of how sexual violence is used as a tactic of war

We must dare suggest concrete measures to

🔹address root causes

🔹support the agency of survivors in designing protection & accountability measures that work for them

Heartfelt thanks 🙏 to all the brave Afghan women who, despite the risks, have been speaking up for #WomensRightsAreHumanRights, both in Kabul & New York, making the case for strong #WPS & #HumanRights language in the renewed #UNAMA mandate

Today's achievement is because of you!

“If the Russian federation actually cares about the protection of civilians in #Ukraine they can stop killing them.” Full stop.

[Mona Juul @mona_juul]

If the Russian Federation actually cares about the protection of civilians in #Ukraine they can stop killing them.

They can just end this unjust war and they should do it now.

I stand behind every word spoken by my colleague @BWoodward_UN in this video👇

Feel free to take a moment on #IWD2022 to just be absolutely &^#%*!@) furious.

[International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) @ICRC]

We’ve received thousands of questions on the Geneva Conventions.

So, we’re going to break down the rules of war you need to know right now.

All states have signed these – and are legally obligated to follow them.
