Europe has taken 18 days to disembark 49 people rescued at sea. The imperative to save lives comes above politics and cannot be a responsibility negotiated on a case by case basis. https://t.co/hA5RYLiCu2

Under @JimYongKim’s leadership, the @WorldBank has helped transform aid to refugees and host communities in very concrete ways, and give substance to the #RefugeeCompact. Thank you, Jim, from all of us at #UNHCR, and best wishes. https://t.co/UVYBQwnPp7

We appreciate offers by some European states to receive people rescued by #SeaWatch+#SeaEye but - unless a shared system of disembarkation and care is agreed upon - protracted negotiations will continue to cause hardship to those suffering, and tensions in Europe. https://t.co/mrrxAkjEmC

“Ma la sicurezza parte da qui: da un ambiente in cui tutti si sentano rispettati e rispettino le regole del vivere comune.” Grazie, e buon anno, Presidente Mattarella. @Quirinale https://t.co/pmZo32D0f6

Words create conceptions and self-conceptions and ultimately nations. They can start and stop wars. They can wound and heal. Choosing words carefully is a moral responsibility. (#AmosOz, 1939-2018) https://t.co/UtaQh01kXT
