It is abhorrent that 6 out of 7 killings of journalists go unpunished, as new UNESCO figures show.
On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, the UK backs @MediaFreedomC’s urgent call for those responsible to be held to account.

Today, the @UN_HRC stood in solidarity with the people of Sudan by renewing the UK-led mandate of the UN Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan. The Mission’s independent investigations are vital to secure justice for victims and survivors.
Sudan is being torn apart by drone warfare and illegal weapons flows.
Proud that the mandate of the 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇮🇪 🇳🇱 🇳🇴 led UN Fact Finding Mission has been renewed with the highest margin of support to date, including from 🇬🇲 🇲🇼 🇲🇺 🇿🇦
Impunity will not be tolerated.

The UK provides assistance where it is needed most. Last year we provided life saving assistance to at least 5 million Afghans, including 3 million women & girls. This included health, food & nutrition, water & sanitation & livelihood support.

Drone strikes are intensifying the conflict in Sudan and causing devastating harm to civilians.
At @UN_HRC today, the Coalition for Atrocity Prevention and Justice for Sudan called for an end to the illegal flow of weapons and external support fuelling the conflict.

This week, I was delighted to join colleagues and partners in Geneva to mark the 75th anniversary of the #RefugeeConvention. At a time of record displacement, its principles remain as vital as ever in protecting refugees and upholding their rights.

UK Human Rights Ambassador, @ESandersFCDO spent time at the Fugee School, a non-profit school for stateless youths.
She witnessed firsthand how access to education helps refugees' resettlement.

The @UN_HRC stood united in adopting by consensus a resolution on the human rights situation in and around El Obeid in Sudan.
With El Obeid on the precipice of an atrocity that could deepen the suffering seen in El Fasher, all parties must act now to protect civilians.

The Human Rights Council is responding to clear warning signs, with a view to preventing further mass atrocities in Sudan.
Last year, the world watched in horror as the Rapid Support Forces raped, pillaged, and murdered their way through El Fasher.
This cannot be repeated.
