While my tenure as Deputy High Commissioner continues, I took the opportunity at my final @UN_HRC session to thank Member States for their trust & collaboration. In these turbulent times, our shared commitment to human rights must endure—for everyone, everywhere. #HRC61

On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we honour Muslims around the world who make our communities stronger & richer. Our shared humanity rests on the dignity & equality of every person. We must call out anti-Muslim hatred wherever we find it. ohchr.org/en/statements-…

All the unlawful attacks in the Middle East and beyond are causing tremendous suffering and harm to civilians throughout the region – and pose a grave a risk to the global economy, particularly to the most vulnerable people. The situation could spiral beyond anyone’s control.

Authoritarians try to persuade people they are powerless, but human rights remind us we are not. We need to forge coalitions to champion what unites us. 👉 My global update to @UN_HRC ohchr.org/en/statements-…

#Afghanistan: the de facto authorities are crushing the rights of all, especially women & girls, undermining the country’s present & its future. I urge them to address this grave situation & reverse the systematic exclusion of half the population. #HRC61 ohchr.org/en/statements-…

Children belong in schools+safe communities, not prisons. Yet 1.3–1.5M children are deprived of liberty. We need stronger child protection systems & implementation of intl standards. Children are rights-holders: the choices we make now will shape their futures + our societies.

Human rights offer practical tools for effective mediation. By addressing discrimination & impunity, they tackle root causes, build trust, and help ensure lasting agreements. Through partnerships with mediators, we can advance inclusive peace grounded in justice & dignity.

Human rights are under full-scale attack around the world. It's happening in plain sight & often led by those with the greatest power. But human rights are not a slogan for good times. They are a duty at all times. We must stand up for them even when it is difficult & costly.

On #MotherLanguageDay, we are reminded that a mother tongue is not merely a means of expression, it shapes our cultures, identities and solidarity. Speaking in one’s mother tongue is a fundamental right, not a privilege. With 7,000 languages in the world, half at risk of

Our presence today reaffirms an enduring truth: women’s rights are not optional or negotiable. They are binding under international law. #CEDAW’s standards must be fully realized in law & in practice. @CedawUn

A historic moment as the Working Group begins its work on strengthening the human rights of older persons. Demographic change is reshaping our societies, yet protection gaps persist. Ageing with dignity is a human right, not a privilege.
