A crimes against humanity stand-alone treaty is a long-overdue addition towards completing the int'l legal architecture to prevent & punish such crimes.

#ElFasher came under #RSF assault today but apparently was not overrun. Nevertheless, the crisis remains profound and requires sustained attention from the UN Security Council, beyond an #ArmsEmbargo. The war has been devastating. #Sudan #Darfur @PrevGenocide
A UN fact finding panel on #Sudan has called for a peacekeeping force, strengthened accountability, arms embargo, and more expansive humanitarian aid. Will the #UN respond with the attention this case deserves? @PrevGenocide
79 years ago, the US dropped the first of two #atomicbombs on Japan. And yet we still live under the shadow of nuclear war and annihilation. We must do better. #Hiroshima @PrevGenocide @globalcmrpt

4️⃣ points about El Fasher UNSC resolution: 1. Wouldn’t have happened without each + all of folks below; 2. isn’t enough but a start; 3. UNSC action needed months ago; 4. Struggle for rez shows how fusion of ground voices, realtime info/analysis essential for successful advocacy
A huge well done to all those who've been doing heroic advocacy to help make this happen @KholoodKhair @WordsAreDeeds @nattyray11 @yonahdiamond @YasmineAhmed001 & so many more. So much more to do to ensure Sudanese civilians are protected but this is a crucial step.
#ElFasher in #Darfur, #Sudan is expected to fall very soon to the #RSF rebels. This is a humanitarian catastrophe for civilians, and requires an immediate plan and response from the UN Sec Council and regional powers. Time has run out. @PrevGenocide @globalcmrpt

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the #RwandanGenocide. At the time, the world turned its back on the mass slaughter of civilians, and proclaimed never again. And yet here we are.

Important statement from leaders of the largest humanitarian organizations: "The UN Security Council cannot continue to ignore its responsibility to protect civilians" #Sudan
🔺8 million fled their homes
🔺25 million need humanitarian assistance
🔺5 million on the brink of famine
Close to 8 million people have fled their homes in Sudan. The country’s collapse is a test of the international community. We are failing it.

The🆕UN Secretary General's report on #Haiti outlines how gangs have expanded to new areas in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area & beyond, prompting new outbreaks of unprecedented violence & resulting in 4,789 people killed. Insecurity has compounded the humanitarian crisis.
People in #Haiti continue to endure unimaginable horrors as violence escalates.
Humanitarian agencies are appealing for $674 million to help 3.6 million people across the country this year.
