🕯️ Juče je obeležen 🌍dan borbe protiv nekažnjivosti za zločine nad novinarima. Više od 300 novinara izgubilo je život u protekle tri i po godine, a u više od polovine slučajeva počinioci nisu odgovarali. Kada novinari nisu bezbedni, istina je prva žrtva. #EndImpunity #UNESCO

AI is amplifying online violence against women journalists — spreading hate faster, cheaper and more widely than ever before. Silencing one womanjournalist online issilencing a thousand women’s voices. unesco.org/en/articles/ct… #ProtectJournalists #EndImpunity

“We need to collaborate, we need to get together, we need countries and individuals to work together to make this a better world so that we can be a little bit proud of what we leave for our children.” — Dr. Jane Goodall, UNESCO, 19 October 2024. Dr. Jane Goodall delivered these words at @UNESCO in a historic address before a thousand young activists, decision makers and scientists. Today, we pay tribute to a woman who changed history: Dr. Jane Goodall. A pioneer whose life was devoted to the protection of nature, the sharing of knowledge, and the respect for all living beings. At #UNESCO, she stood before the world with a message of hope, reminding us that our future depends on caring for gorillas, for wildlife, and for our common Earth. Her words were simple yet profound: hope lies in action, and each of us holds the power to protect the fragile web of life that sustains us. For generations to come, she will remain proof that another world is possible. Her passing is an immense loss — and also a renewed call to action.

New Action Plan highlights 4️⃣ ways to empower users online through #MediaAndInfoLiteracy: ✅ Understand platforms ✅ Take control of their experience ✅ Use reporting & redress tools ✅ Access reliable, discoverable info With support from 🇪🇺@EU_FPI #SocialMedia4Peace project

"To Educate or to Ban: Breaking the Impasse" reminds us that restrictive bans alone cannot address the risks of the digital age.

No country can stop a pandemic alone. No army can halt rising temperatures. No algorithm can rebuild broken trust. Therefore I ask leaders at #UNGA to reaffirm international law & the centrality of multilateralism, reinforce human right & recommit to the principles of the @UN.

Lasting peace in the Middle East will never be built through more violence. We need an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an immediate & unconditional release of all hostages & unhindered humanitarian access. The two-State solution is the only path forward: Israel & Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. We must seize this moment with a united commitment to diplomacy, international law & the dignity of all people. I told the Security Council that there are responsibilities each member must uphold & urged them to act. un.org/sg/en/content/…
