On a sunny walk back from the United Nations Geneva Palais des Nations this morning, we're thankful for our exchange with Tatiana Valovaya, Director-General of UN Geneva. It means a lot to hear that the United Nations values our work and sees the GICHD as an important center of expertise for mine affected countries.

BiH ni 28 godina nakon rata nije očišćena od mina – preostalo je još oko 843 km² (1,65% teritorije). Ministrica #DubravkaBošnjak i delegacija GICHD koju je predvodio Tobias Privitelli razgovarali o ubrzanju procesa. Revizija Strategije deminiranja i novi Zakon ključni su koraci!

Heartbreaking scenes from Sumy this morning as residents gathered for Palm Sunday only to be met by Russian missiles. Horrific example of Russia intensifying attacks while Ukraine has accepted an unconditional ceasefire. My thoughts are with the Ukrainian people today.
