Dismayed by the sanctions imposed by US government on UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs. Governments and all actors who believe in rule-based order and Int'l law must do everything in their power to mitigate the effect of the sanctions against Francesca Albanese.
It was my great honour to interview the one and only Francesca Albanese yesterday. Watch here, and find out why Trump and Rubio are so determined to stop her vital work:

Russia aggression continues to wreak havoc on civilians in Ukraine. At least 28 killed, 100+ injured in Russia’s June 17 strike on Kyiv. Amnesty has verified the use of cluster munitions, either deliberate targeting of civilians, reckless disregard for life, or both. This may constitute war crimes.
I didn't hear much protest from our supposedly pro-human-rights, pro-enlightenment leaders, diplomats and pundits. No, it's not the islamist Iranian foe, it's the islamist Saudi ally. cpj.org/2025/06/saud... @jonathanpiron.bsky.social @hensmans.org @agnescallamard.bsky.social

Horrific Russian attacks in Ukraine.
Yesterday April 13, at least 34 civilians were killed and 117 injured in a Russian attack on downtown Sumy on a religious holiday,

Under the laws of war, civilians may not be deliberately targeted.
All parties to a conflict must take measures to minimize harm to civilians and must not carry out attacks that fail to distinguish between civilians and combatants or cause disproportionate harm to civilians.
