On this day, we remember the victims of the November pogroms in 1938. The attacks on Jews, their properties and synagogues stand as a stark warning of where hatred and antisemitism can lead. We must always remember, speak out and stand together against antisemitism.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Mohammed Al Shami of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights detained by the Houthis since June 2024. Arbitrary arrest of UN workers is unacceptable. I call for the immediate release of all remaining detainees. @UNHumanRights

In the IAD with @BarhamSalih, 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪 reaffirmed support for UNHCR and its mandate. At a time of record displacement, protecting refugee frameworks and supporting the most vulnerable must remain a priority. We encourage broad support for the Nordic-facilitated UNHCR omnibus.

Education is lifesaving and life-changing.

Director General @suvanto_kaija, on behalf of the Nordic countries at #UNGA81:
As the International Court of Justice enters its ninth decade, its mission remains as vital today as it was in 1946: ensuring that disputes between States are settled through law rather than force.
