Even in the darkest hours, @‌UN personnel are a constant beacon of hope and light. As 2024 draws to a close, I pay tribute to them, particularly those who made the ultimate sacrifice in carrying out our vital mission. We will always carry their memory in all we do.

17/1/25 The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child welcomes the agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza, with a sense of hope for the children whose suffering was immense over the course of the conflict. It is now imperative that the full flow of humanitarian aid reach the children

A great discussion with #CRC members; particularly grateful to Francisco Vera, a remarkable 15yr old human rights defender from Colombia, for his insights into the challenges faced by children today, emphasising the impact of hate speech.

Spent the morning with parents whose children are in the youth justice system—heartbreaking stories of missed support & avoidable crises. We need pre-crisis intervention, rehabilitation over punishment, & to raise the age of criminal responsibility. The system must change.
