The situation in Eastern DRC is dire. An additional 1 million people displaced. Rape and murder of hundreds of women. All parties must ensure unimpeded humanitarian access to save lives. Goma airport must be reopened. Perpetrators of human rights abuses must be held to account.

Big news! The U.S. Supreme Court will hear Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a landmark case about states’ rights to defund abortion giants like Planned Parenthood. No citizen should be forced to fund abortion facilities against their beliefs.

@FCDOHumanRights @UKinDRC @UKinGhana @ukinsouthafrica @ukinalgeria @UKinMalawi @UKinMorocco @UKUN_NewYork @Lord_Collins @FCDOGovUK Thank you for highlighting this mostly neglected catastrophe, a situation now made worse by unexpected cuts to support for the brave humanitarians trying to provide some support to the ravaged population.

@FCDOHumanRights @UKinDRC @UKinGhana @ukinsouthafrica @ukinalgeria @UKinMalawi @UKinMorocco @UKUN_NewYork @Lord_Collins @FCDOGovUK You can see here that England is trying to increase its influence in Africa. Would England overshadow France in African policy?

@FCDOHumanRights @UKinDRC @UKinGhana @ukinsouthafrica @ukinalgeria @UKinMalawi @UKinMorocco @UKUN_NewYork @Lord_Collins @FCDOGovUK There needs to be a Western led military intervention in the DRC to stop the mass murders and rapes - but the Western liberals are too embarrassed to admit this is what is needed and so millions will suffer needlessly.

Met with @UNDP’s @stefanliller and @Refugees’ @Sumbulrizvi7 to discuss efforts to ensure Rohingya refugees receive the support they need. Canada remains committed to working with partners on lasting solutions and assisting those forced to flee.

It would be wrong, IMO, to ascribe US sanctions on #ICC staff to the warrant against Netanyahu or the Court's Afghanistan investigation. It has always been and remains about *control*. Trump’s sanctions against the ICC are disgraceful, by @KenRoth

My deepest condolences to the people of Namibia following the death of Dr Sam Nujoma, who dedicated his life to the freedom of his people and to the wider liberation movement in Africa. My thoughts are with his family and the people of Namibia at this very sad time.

We are deeply concerned by the recent M23 and Rwandan Defence Forces advances in eastern DRC. Their advance risks a humanitarian catastrophe in Goma, and has cost the lives of UN peacekeepers. These attacks must stop. Rwanda and DRC must return to the negotiating table.

El Obeid is on the precipice of an atrocity. Civilians must be protected and allowed to leave safely. We call on the RSF to halt its assault and on all parties to uphold international humanitarian law, ensure humanitarian access, and prevent further bloodshed.

Israel must be held to account for its barbaric crimes. The horrifying reports of the IDF's sexual violence against women & girls in the West Bank demand immediate action. Today, I raised this with the Foreign Secretary - we must punish perpetrators and ensure justice.

#Sudan: the gum arabic trade has helped fuel three years of conflict, exposing people to human rights violations by warring parties & their associates, a new UN Human Rights report finds. This war economy must be disrupted. States & companies must ensure trade and export practices do not contribute to adverse human rights impacts or sustain the conflict.

There is no military solution to the crisis in the Middle East. Serious negotiations must resume. The ceasefire must be preserved – and extended as necessary. And international navigational rights & freedoms – including in the Strait of Hormuz – must be respected by all parties.

Access to food, water, fuel, and other humanitarian aid has been cut off in much of Gaza. Hospitals have had to shut down and people cannot access clean drinking water. International humanitarian law must be followed — and aid must be allowed in to assist the Palestinian people.
