Today is International Human Rights Day. Yesterday, I had the special honour of arguing before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on behalf of Namibia in the climate change obligations of states advisory opinion proceedings in The Hague. Namibia’s oral submissions focused on the adverse consequences of greenhouse gas emissions particularly on the hydrosphere and the right to water as a global concern. In this clip, two points are made on extraterritorial application of rights and the obligations owed to future, unborn generations. It’s stunning that this still remains a point to rebut from a minority of state participants. I owe this opportunity, my first ever appearance in any court, to the trust of the Ministry of Justice Namibia and @ydausab who agreed to the proposal to submit to the ICJ with a water focus many months ago. This is a short clip and our full submissions with Ambassador Dr Mekondjo Kaapanda-Girnus and led by @Phoebe_Okowa can be viewed on the ICJ website in the first comment. A thank you post to the many involved for Team Namibia to follow.

@Aluteni_ I think we stand a chance against Pakistan if their defeat to India is anything to go by 😃

@Ndjodi_ML Proud of the boys for putting us out there and playing their hearts out 🙌🏾

Excellent from Steenkamp for Namibia (v USA)- 58 runs from 38 balls. #T20WorldCup2026

@Aluteni_ It was a spirited performance nevertheless. We could have done with some more ambitious batting

@Ndjodi_ML Iyoh! It’s not looking good for us. RRR is 36 and our CRR is 8.53. These US team looks very Indian and Pakistani 😭😅

@NduuvundiXCI I’m glad you had faith. 🙌🏾

@NduuvundiXCI Congratulations champ. Having seen you labouring day in and day out this is superbly well deserved. 🥳

Historic moment at the United Nations this evening with the election of Professor Pheobe Okowa as a Judge of the International Court of Justice with effect from today. Many congratulations @Phoebe_Okowa - so excited to read the authority of your opinions soon.

Having first met at Linacre College, Oxford in October 2018, Mrs Ndeunyema finally came home to Ongwediva in October 2025 to an aaWambo people’s welcome. ❤️❤️

@Phoebe_Okowa So well deserved, congratulations Professor.

Back to Oxford to make it official — Dr. Nwamaka Ogbonna (Oxon) 🎓 Officially closing my chapter in the charming city of dreaming spires @UniofOxford. Shout-out to the village that got me here, and to @ODID_QEH & @lmhoxford for all the support. #PhDdone

I am happy to share that I have graduated with a PhD in economics from @Cambridge_Uni. The journey hasn’t been easy, but the support of my family and friends made it bearable. I am also grateful to my lecturers @UniofOxford (MSc) and @UnzaOfficial (BA) for laying the foundation.

Join us in congratulating OxHRH member Dr @VMiyandazi , whose scholarship was cited by the Supreme Court of Kenya in its recent landmark judgment 👏 📄 Read full judgment here: lnkd.in/g8-k65ZA 📚 You can buy the book here: lnkd.in/gupbHted

@SizweMpofuWalsh Congratulations Sizwe. Next stop: conquering Mount legal practice. 🙌🏾

LLB graduation. 🙏🏽

@nyanjewanyanje Thank you for the plug

I was teaching the right to water and the rights to water access this morning when I told students how they take for granted water access in Kenya. That is why we must think deep about my friend’s @Ndjodi_ML work; Re-invigorating ubuntu through water: A human right to water!!

@ngurare Many congratulations, well deserved and all the best, Dr MP PM.

Good Morning my NamTwitter Family, thank you very much for your kind congratulatory messages, prayers and encouragement. 😃Yes I will still be amongst you and as always learn from you. Let’s work together in the interest of our country and people.

@mushekojona @nambili101 Agreed on resistance. Plus massively reduced alcohol consumption and a more balanced diet (oshifima every lunch and dinner is excess carbs).

@nambili101 Mah mah, 😂You still fighting? You doing well. Then I’m with you, let’s introduce more outdoor gyms. I promised myself not to have a kapunda at all, so far we are winning: regular runs, and a meal a day.

I just want the Ministry of Health to also declare war on obesity. We should have outside gyms everywhere in this country. It will save us money in the long run!
