".. Israel & America have agency, & the atrocities suffered by Israeli civilians do not justify the leveling of Palestinianneighborhoods" #UNICEF nytimes.com/2024/02/03/opi…

There is so much anger, hate & noise in our world today. Every day & at every turn, it seems – it’s war. Around the globe & across the range of issues, peace is the missing piece. People want peace & security. They want peace & dignity. They want peace & quiet.

The power of human rights is rooted in their universality– the equal value of every human life. The same standards must be deployed everywhere. Every human being is born equal. All victims are equally deserving of justice. No-one can be left behind. And nobody is above the law.

In recent days, amid an increasingly challenging operating environment, the United Nations and PRCS evacuated dozens of patients in critical conditions from hospitals in #Gaza’s Khan Younis. Life-saving humanitarian missions must be facilitated. Learn more in our latest update ⬇️

Hunger has reached catastrophic levels,” Jamie McGoldrick, the UN’s humanitarian co-ordinator for the occupied Palestinian territories, said last week after a two-day visit to Gaza. “Children are dying from hunger.” on.ft.com/3T9eL43

Afghanistan remains amongst the world’s top 10 climate impacted countries while having no significant carbon footprint. Climate shocks continues to ravage vulnerable communities. Urgent support for climate adaptation & mitigation for the people of Afghanistan is a critical need.

Today a United Nations vehicle was struck in Gaza, killing one of our colleagues & injuring another. More than 190 UN staff have been killed in Gaza. Humanitarian workers must be protected. I condemn all attacks on UN personnel and reiterate my urgent appeal for an immediate humanitarian

It’s the most vulnerable communities in underserved remote areas in Afghanistan that get most affected by climate shocks. We need to step up our collective efforts to make sure these communities are Not left behind.

Honoured to be asked to present keynote at #SupremeCourt conference on #ClimateChange. This was the third #SCP judicial conference that I have spoken at (with three different CJ’s). One remarkable thing about them is that most judges, including the Chief Justices sit through

The escalating violence in #Sudan's Al Fasher is dealing a crushing blow to civilians at their most vulnerable. I am horrified by news of the RSF attack on South Hospital. The fighting, looting and atrocities we are seeing in Sudan over and over again – they must stop now.

While energy and lives are dissolved in wars that don't make sense, which in turn undermine trust in the the international system, there is not enough attention to the effect of climate change and global inequality - as this report shows😞
