Ignacio Echeverría es una inspiración para todos. Su gran coraje al enfrentarse a terroristas armados solo con su monopatín, aún a riesgo de su propia vida, demuestra una valentía y una generosidad que recordaremos siempre

Disappointed to see Syria appointed to the @WHO Executive Board. EB members should uphold human rights, not abuse them. It’s time for Syria to protect, not target, health facilities and workers and allow unimpeded access for humanitarian aid, including medical supplies.

It’s a wrap. The 49th session of the UN Rights Council is over. I am so proud of our team in Geneva and our colleagues in the 🇬🇧 and around the globe 🌎 who work tirelessly to uphold the cause of freedom.

Membership of the UN Human Rights Council is a privilege, not a right. Members are meant to “uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights”. Not flount those standards in a war of unprovoked agression. Glad to see this decisive action by the UNGA

Great initiative by @CervantesLondon to honour the legendary Spanish writer Chavez Nogales who died in exile in London just a month before D-Day. 🇪🇸🇬🇧
