Grateful to Int'l Criminal Court First Vice-President, Prosecutor Karim A. A. Khan KC, Registrar, and the Executive Director of the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC for very informative and fruitful meetings. More than ever, we need to stand up for the rule of law and international criminal justice. 📷 ©️ICC-CPI
Thank you Int'l Criminal Court & Karim A. A. Khan KC for excellent conversations. In times of serious violations of International law and IHL supporting ICC is more important than ever.
Delighted to receive Minister Sonia Guajajara in Brussels. Looking forward to working closely with Brazil on the promotion of human rights including those of indigenous peoples.
In Geneva today for very good talks with UN High Commissioner Volker Türk. We discussed how best to work together defending human rights. The EU remains a strong supporter of UN Human Rights office and its strong, independent mandate - more important than ever.
A pleasure to meet with the Prime Minister of Cabo Verde Ulisses Correia e Silva. We discussed ways to enhance our strategic partnership and how to better promote democratic values and #HumanRights . Cabo Verde is a partner leading by example.
Any act of racial discrimination violates the rights of another human being. Racism has been the cause of some of the worst atrocities and crimes the world has known. #FightRacism
Committed to continue close cooperation with the UN in my new job. Putting children at the center of our action should lead to stronger compliance with IHL and human rights. Thank you @VirginiaGamba for your leadership. #ACTtoProtect
Happy to receive UN Human Rights ASG Ilze Brands Kehris today. There is no more important partnership than the one between the EU and the UN and there are few issues more urgent than strengthening human rights globally.
Please join the International Women’s Day celebrations. Standing up for rights of women & girls and inspire their inclusion is in everyone’s interest. Promoting women’s rights and gender equality will be central to my work as EUSR for HR #WomensDay #InspireInclusion #IWD2024 ”
A warm welcome to Stavros Lambrinidis taking over as EU Ambassador to the UN. Happy to leave the EU and the UN in good hands!

Overnight, Russia launched one of the largest attacks since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine - more cowardly targeting of schools & a hospital, leaving at least 30 dead & over 100 wounded. Evidence of Russian war crimes is growing.

A pleasant meeting to bid my farewell to António Guterres after many years here at the UN. The EU and UN both emerged from World Wars. Europe remains heavily invested in a well functioning UN delivering peace, sustainable development and human rights to all.
