UM @larsloekke: "Et stabilt Ukraine er vigtigt for vores egen sikkerhed. Derfor giver Danmark 45 mio. kr. til ny dansk indsats for Ukraines ca. 1,8 mio. veteraner, så de kan finde vej tilbage til civilt liv og arbejde. Det er godt for Ukraine – og for Danmark." 🇩🇰🇺🇦 #TætKnyttet

April 25 | African Day for the Protection of Persons in Pre-trial Detention
Too many people remain in pre-trial detention because they are poor, criminalized, or lack access to legal support. Overcrowded detention harms health, fuels injustice, and increases the risk of abuse.

This is not how to promote a rules based world order - so counterproductive
The US has just dealt a major blow to the International Criminal Court, not only defying the arrest warrant for Yoav Gallant, but gratuitously insulting the Court and its members by hosting the war criminal in the White House. democracynow.org/2024/12/11/…

In this fast moving scenario in #Syria, the wise advice of my colleague @ThereseRytter Legal Director of @Dignity_Int should be heard and amplified.
How can organizations safely document evidence of torture from prisoners in #Syria?
