Happy to see this now published in @GlobalGovJrnl - examining the success of the UNGA’s 2022 veto initiative, so far, against its stated objectives: increasing the accountability of the UNSC to the UNGA; & prompting GA action when the UNSC fails. brill.com/view/journals/…

With @APR2P I was privileged to work with the UNSG's #R2P Special Advisor @GeorgeOkothObbo. Alongside others in the atrocity prevention community we were devastated by his resignation. In this article I reflect on why it was so hard for him to do his job justsecurity.org/87571/the-un-s…

Thanks for sharing @danielflitton , great to see the Geneva Conventions featured in ideas that changed the world, they’ve still got a lot more changing to do though! (And they’re certainly not becoming less relevant, as suggested at one point in this article)

“The #R2P Framework for Action is a sister to the Framework of Analysis. The former illuminate risks; the latter tells us what to do about it.” Thank you @GeorgeOkothObbo for helping us launch the R2P framework for action in the Pacific with @MsgSecretariat & @AusHCVanuatu @APR2P

@annie_sparrow @BenteScheller @antonioguterres And the intl law constraints are not as clear as often assumed: re-upping this piece by @becjbarber

Rather than negotiate w/ the Syrian government about what humanitarian aid can be delivered to opposition-held areas, donors should abandon the UN (if SG @antonioguterres still insists on prioritizing sovereignty over access) and fund aid groups directly. nytimes.com/2023/07/13/wor…
