We were honoured to welcome Justice Albie Sachs, longtime friend of @IDLO, back today for an energizing brown bag lunch. His extraordinary journey of resilience, humanity, and optimism was a much needed reminder of the transformative power of justice in overcoming adversity, healing division, and turning even the most negative situations into something positive.

Productive exchange with Ambassador Enrique Manalo, Permanent Representative of the Philippines to the UN in New York and Chair of the Sixth Committee, on our shared commitment to the #RuleOfLaw. The Philippines is a valued partner of @IDLO as a Member Party, member of our Standing Committee, and host country of our Manila office. @UNPhilippines @PHinItaly

This week, we co-organized the Ministerial Meeting of the Dialogue Group on Accountability for Ukraine as part of the “United for Justice” conference, convening 350+ participants in Kyiv from Ukrainian institutions, international justice bodies, governments, and civil society to strengthen coordinated responses to international crimes.

In Rome, we hosted a delegation from the Supreme Court of the Philippines, led by Justices Amy Lazaro-Javier and Samuel Gaerlan.

On this International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, as a committed multilateralist, I am proud to reaffirm @IDLO’s steadfast resolve to advance peace and sustainable development through the #RuleOfLaw.

An effective response to climate change requires justice systems that can work together across borders in predictable and enforceable ways. On #EarthDay, @IDLO reaffirms its commitment to strengthening national legal and institutional capacities to address shared environmental challenges, while fostering regional approaches. @UNEP

Congratulations to @UNIDROITorg on 100 years of standing up for the #RuleOfLaw. Pleased to join President Moavero-Milanesi, Secretary-General Tirado and other partners at the ceremony. @NTiradoM

.@IDLO supports the view of the Secretary-General. The #RuleOfLaw is a powerful force for peace and sustainable development, and increasingly central to a renewed multilateralism and to the ability of countries to manage risk, resolve conflict, and deliver for their people. @CIJ_ICJ

Building the capacity of justice actors to deliver fair, accountable, and people-centred justice is essential to advancing peace and sustainable development. This week, with support from the Netherlands, we facilitated the induction of 38 new state attorneys by the Ugandan Office of the Department of Public Prosecutions — strengthening integrity, practical prosecution skills and coordination to help ensure fair and timely people-centred justice across the country. @NLinUganda @ODPPUganda @JLOSUganda

My thanks to H.E. Nathaniel Imperial, Ambassador of the Philippines to Italy, for our meeting today. Appreciate the steadfast support to @IDLO, as a Member Party, member of our Standing Committee, and host of our Manila office. @PHinItaly
