75 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted to advance freedoms and protect human dignity.
Today, it’s crucial to renew these commitments and uphold these rights for all.
As we countdown to #HumanRights75, let's make the time for action now.👇

Concluded a two days trip to the US where in my interventions during #UNGA2023 I emphasized for uniting around a political process in Afg.and holding the perpetrators of gender persecution accountable. Had several bilateral meetings on the topic

I’ve just heard a horrific testimony from a survivor of sexual violence in Central African Republic.
We must make accountability for conflict related sexual violence the rule, not the exception.
Thank you @USGSRSGPatten for your crucial work. @NorwayUN #DRC #SierraLeone

This needs to change if we want to see peace

Only 13% of negotiators in major peace processes were women between 1992-2019. Women's participation can ✔️Create solutions that reflect the needs of all people in conflict-affected settings ✔️Dismantle systems that permit & promote violence ✔️Foster the #GlobalGoals. #PeaceDay

With so few women at #UNGA and only 3 of the 37 speakers today being women, I'll be finding ways to amplify women's voices and #genderequality issues #SDGSummit #womensrights

This year we mark 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. So often the “universal” bit is discarded.
The Taoiseach spoke today about an Ireland that has become more inclusive and equal. LGBTI rights are human rights.

Even still in my 30s I get the fan girl feel when I see Mary Robinson in action.
Today she hosted a meeting of serious women leaders from Africa and Europe. Calling out the injustice of the climate crisis and the urgency to end fossil fuels, these women are prophets of our time.
