Today at #UNGA, I joined calls for the urgent prohibition of autonomous weapons used or designed to target human beings. The most effective way to prevent the proliferation of a technology is to ensure it is not developed in the first place. https://t.co/i9Mxgg8Wtk

The rights of LGBTIQ+ people are not ideological or new. They are exactly the same human rights we all have. Today, they face an escalating onslaught.
At #UNGA, we discussed why it's time to go on the offensive – to defend diversity, equality, and freedom. https://t.co/AWMZCBBgNv

The deliberate retreat from women’s rights and leadership around the world is outrageous.
Less power for women means less power for humanity to confront the defining challenges of our time.
We need to accelerate progress towards gender equality dramatically – and now.

Nicaragua: I am deeply concerned by the progressive dismantling of democratic institutions and the rule of law by the ruling party, and the systematic abuse of power. The situation is utterly indefensible.

Human rights education strengthens our collective immunity against hatred, violence, discrimination, and polarization. It is a necessity for every society, especially in turbulent times.
At @UN_HRC, I called on states to make it a priority: https://t.co/x7TFRGEw6j https://t.co/1

The recovery of human remains across Gaza needs to respect the humanity and dignity of victims. All evidence must be preserved; the bulldozing of sites is unacceptable.

Democracy aims to guarantee that power serves people, not the other way around.
On this International Day of Democracy, let’s remember that democracy is built everyday - when people come together to solve problems, and act collectively for the public good. https://t.co/i4bd5oQ9A

We are at a watershed moment for AI. The calls by three leading tech companies to slow AI development should set all alarm bells ringing.

Difficult times for human rights mean busy days at the Human Rights Council.
We will not always agree. But what matters is that we keep talking and searching for common ground on the issues that matter most.
The support I heard from many states gives me hope. https://t.co/NX5SG

Policies and choices that perpetuate poverty and inequality are a form of oppression. We need a fundamental rethink of our economic systems to turn them towards fairness, equal participation, and human rights.

The devastating impact of the human rights crisis in Myanmar is deepening by the day. All countries need to use their leverage to press for change; any engagement should be firmly based on human rights.

There is a deafening global silence about the people of Afghanistan.
The de facto authorities are tightening and enforcing oppressive measures, especially against women and girls.
We need renewed efforts to protect the rights of all Afghans.

The pain of not knowing the fate of your loved one is hard to fathom. Enforced disappearance is a vicious practice that spreads fear and intimidates entire communities. States need to act to save lives and help every victim find truth and justice. https://t.co/ij34b5hsTR

Haiti: The recent armed attack in Kenscoff is a stark reminder of the brutality that gang violence is inflicting on the Haitian people. Independent and impartial investigations into all crimes are essential. Illicit flows of arms into Haiti must stop.
