A crimes against humanity stand-alone treaty is a long-overdue addition towards completing the int'l legal architecture to prevent & punish such crimes. So writes @CardozoCLIHHR Prof. Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum in her 🆕 article for #HolocaustRemembrance: un.org/en/un-chronicle/holoc…

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
Replying to @hayleyljd
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.

As one of the experts having warned about fighting in El Fasher, the nightmare scenario we have worried about since July appears to be beginning to unfold.
🚨🚨🚨🚨 Experts have repeatedly warned over the past year about the prospect for mass atrocities in a fight for El Fasher & N #Darfur. As the fighting there now escalates, hard not to wonder what mediators & other stakeholders could have done differently to avert this. #Sudan

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. I joined leaders at @NRC_Norway @save_children @CARE @DRC_ngo @PlanGlobal to call for action: thenewhumanitarian.org/opini…

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.
