Fredah Onduso — Linda Mwananchi National Youth League: The real danger is the language being used to dehumanise communities. When a political leader calls an entire community ‘hyenas’, they turn fellow Kenyans into targets and make violence easier to justify. That is how political rhetoric can move from hate speech to real-world violence #CitizenDayBreak

After World War II, the world made a promise: even in war, there are limits we must never cross. That promise became the Geneva Conventions, a universal commitment to protect civilians, the wounded, prisoners of war and humanitarian workers, among others. Today, with over 130 armed conflicts worldwide, twice as many as 15 years ago, these rules are under immense pressure. Over 110 countries have joined the Global Initiative on international humanitarian law to strengthen commitment to the rules that limit suffering in war. The Geneva Conventions do not protect the powerful. They protect people caught in war. And upholding them is the responsibility of every country on Earth.

As someone who seeks to champion diplomacy. This is beyond farcical: Russia now has the Presidency of the UN Security Council. The Council is now being led by a country whose President is subject to an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.

Pastor Mark Burns: Being here in Ukraine, with the people, I can say that propaganda from Russia is very real — and how it’s used in Christian conservative circles to essentially dislike Ukrainians. And so when I saw with my own eyes that Ukrainians do love God, are not racists, are not godless society as they were being portrayed, are not corrupt people — they’re normal people just like you and me. And the fact that Ukraine is bigger than just blue and yellow map that you see on CNN — they’re real people. Real mothers, real daughters, real children. And when I saw that and atrocities that Russians were doing — not the war, but war crimes they had been committing against Ukrainians — my heart immediately shifted and changed from being just a Republican to being a human being. And I had to choose then to speak for what is right, and not necessarily what is popular. That’s what changed my heart.
