The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible. The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946. Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.

Wonderful to see this collaboration between our two countries

@gavin_nj @UKinTheGambia @DalhousieU @CanEmbSenegal Couldn’t agree more, and great to have our Canadian friends as full supporters on the importance of strong justice being one of the cornerstones of democracy

@HCKingFCDO @UKinTheGambia Well done! The justice institutions in The Gambia are some of the most revered and essential in the whole region. I hope this latest contribution will build on that legacy - which also has roots in longstanding partnership with @DalhousieU and Nova Scotia 🇬🇲🇨🇦 @CanEmbSenegal

I was so genuinely proud to have been able to support this event, and that @UKinTheGambia was able to support the rebuilding of this important court.
