It was an absolute pleasure to learn from and be part of this discussion with all of you on #accesstojustice, #JusticeForAll and #SDG16 With many thanks to @HookTangaza, #SPPI and others for organizing and leading the conversation! @SDG16Plus

Powerful #SPPI session on the role of #AccestoJustice in achieving #SDG16. @MaggieWilliamsF has done a great job of explaining the scale of the issues and the work which initiatives like @SDG16Plus are doing to tackle the problems. We all have a role to play. @UniversityofLaw

Had an excellent visit to the award-winning Public Service Hall – showcasing Georgia’s efforts at promoting #SDG16 through effective public administration brought about by governance reforms, transparency & accountability of state institutions.

Happy International #MultilateralismDay 🕊️ In this interview I speak about the new #multilaterlism that we urgently need to change the world. It's already here, if we're willing to see it, including in #Ukraine! Read more here👇🏽 forbes.com/sites/globalci… @Forbes @GlblCtzn

We lost all the students in yesterday’s attack and left with empty class. Please don’t write about Afghan’s pride & resilience anymore. We are tired, exhausted, shattered & devastated. Afghans need a break. Afghans need peace. Afghans need a normal, equal & poor but hopeful life.

BREAKING⚡UN General Assembly adopts Resolution A/ES-11/L.2 on the Humanitarian consequences of the aggression against #Ukraine as tabled by 🇺🇦Ukraine & a large cross-regional group and supported by the EU & its Member States. The world has spoken. ✅ 140Yes ❌ 5No

SDG16 is standing with young people who stand with peace. The SDGs are about human rights and about civic spaces. @Gulalai_Ismail @sabaismail @jhody_polk @bankimooncentre #SDG16 #TOGETHERBAND

SDG 16 cannot be achieved if young people asking for accountability of institutions are forced to flee their countries. When we speak out, we pay the costs. #StandwithYoungPeople #SDG16 #Youth4Peace @Gulalai_Ismail @sabaismail

Peaceful and inclusive societies are the underpinning requirement for development b/c a focus on peace brings a shift in economics and policy. When an economy is associated w/ war, the resources go to weapons and conflict instead of health, education & justice. @Gulalai_Ismail

Read this profile on @Gulalai_Ismail by #BBC: A human rights activist working for young girls, women, Pashtun rights - Were those her crimes for which the world gave her awards and Pakistan made her flee!? And then we wonder where we went wrong... bbc.com/news/world-asi…

"Israel’s policy of destroying #Palestinian property is not compatible with its obligations under international humanitarian law", say @jamiemcgoldric8 of @UNRWA and James Heenan of @UNHumanRights, following the demolitions in #SurBahir. bit.ly/32GeMBH

H.E. Gustavo Mesz-Cuadra on Goal 16: "We have been very involved in goal 16 while some consider this goal unnecessary. We were very much at risk of not having goal 16 and we were very lucky to reach agreement." #MeetUNSCPres @PeruEnLaONU
