At the @IntlCrimCourt today, I talked about defending international justice and holding it in trust for future generations. Attacks against the Court are attacks on justice and the rule of law.

When journalists are silenced, we all lose. On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, and every day, we need to protect those who stand up for us all.

Yemen: I am devastated by the death of Mohammad el Shami, a Yemeni colleague who was arbitrarily detained by the Houthis for years. I call for an immediate investigation into his death. Mohammad’s family deserves to know the truth.
Human rights offer cities a coherent guide that fosters resilience, stability, trust, and prosperity. They are an insurance policy in turbulent times.
On this World Cities Day, I call on mayors and local governments to bring human rights to every street and every community.
Russia: I am deeply concerned and saddened by the announcement that Novaya Gazeta newspaper is being forced to close. This is another devastating blow for independent media in the country.
