The @UN was founded on the promise of #NeverAgain. #WeRemember the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. Primo Levi's warning “It happened, therefore it can happen again […] and it can happen everywhere��� reminds us of our ongoing duty to prevent genocide.
80 years ago, 7000 prisoners were liberated from Auschwitz-Birkenau. On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour victims & survivors. As antisemitism, hate speech & dehumanisation increase, we must defend human rights & ensure the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten.

#HumanRights are universal, indivisible, and inalienable. All human beings have them. All states have the obligation to respect, protect, and fulfil them. Every day of the year. #StandUp4HumanRights
#OurRightsOurFutureRightNow #HumanRightsDay2024
This #HumanRightsDay, I call for urgent action to protect #OurRightsOurFuture - right now. Human rights are not just ideals for some - they are justice for all. They are the foundation of our shared existence & the measure of our humanity. Protecting them is protecting ourselves.
