Surveillance is so taken for granted today that films and TV series make a virtue out of it, governments blatantly misuse it, and people ignore the dangers. Or do they? bit.ly/Comment-4May26 #DigitalJustice #OurCommonDigitalFuture #waccComment

Journalism shapes peace. Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies. When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust. When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace. unesco.org/en/days/press-fre…

Trustworthy, progressive, independent journalism is a pillar of peace – foundational for open and justice societies. Journalists are #NotATarget and must be protected.

Today we celebrate World Press Freedom Day, sponsored by UNESCO. Unfortunately, this right is often violated, sometimes flagrantly, sometimes in hidden ways. Let us remember the many journalists and reporters who are victims of war and violence.

“You want our pictures, not our voices, you want our stories, but not our struggles.” Indigenous delegates delivered a straight forward stance at the International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, rejecting tokenism and demanding that true solidarity, not optics become the foundation of any just transition. #DefendtheSacred #TAFF2026
