As time goes by. 28 yrs ago I came to Geneva as a UN Disarmament Fellow, an experience that marked my proffesional career and gave me forever friends. Proud as President of the @UN_HRC to talk to 2022 Fellows on the impact of #HumanRights on the #Disarmament agenda. @ODA_Geneva

Hoy cumple 75 años la Organizacion de las Naciones Unidas. Mucho por hacer todavía. Pero el mundo estaría infinitamente peor si no existiera un espacio comun de igualdad para garantizar la paz, el desarrollo y los derechos humanos. Argentina presente, antes, ahora y siempre.

A great way to continue this week as President of @UN_HRC with the #OrangeTheWorld campaign with a meaningful conversation with Reem Alsalem @UNSRVAW . A key mandate to advance women's rights🌍wide. Combating violence against women is a tool for development of every society.

Good talk with Richard Bennet @SR_Afghanistan @UN_HRC 🇦🇷 supports his work and we are very concerned for his report on the serious violations of #HumanRights in #Afghanistan especially of women and girls. Their basic human right to education and participation must be respected.
