States and companies need to move away from funding war economies towards investing in a peace economy.
In his #UNGA report, @UNSRdevelopment provides a concrete road map to prevent conflicts and sustain peace.

It is unacceptable that independent experts have become a target of coordinated efforts, aimed at undermining not only confidence in the Special Procedures system, but also the credibility of the @UN and its #HumanRights architecture as a whole.

We thank the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development, @UNSRdevelopment, for his clear and courageous assessment of the devastating impact of the intensified U.S. blockade and the cruel energy siege on the Cuban people's enjoyment of the rights to development, health and education.
These unilateral coercive measures violate international law and undermine the UN Charter. #Cuba will continue defending the right to development and building a more just and inclusive society, leaving no one behind.

@UN_SPExperts honour the life and legacy of Jean Ziegler, the first Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food & architect of the mandate.
