Sad news emerging once again from Tunisia of a shipwreck. 8 bodies found so far, more missing. We cannot allow these tragedies on the Mediterranean to continue. More search and rescue capacity needed. And greater efforts to stop smugglers putting people on flimsy boats. https://t.co/OW9ltJFafg

“Take young people seriously and include us in decision-making,” - Marie Claire Graf. Young people putting the rest of us to shame with their passion and saving the planet!

Inspiring young Swiss activist Marie-Claire Graf briefing journalists at the UN Palais press briefing. She launched Sustainability Week here in ??! Great to see young people leading the way on #ClimateAction https://t.co/ZxbISrsFLa

States across the Sahel NEED international support to curb violence by extremist armed groups, and to re-establish rule of law in these areas. At the same time, need to address some root causes of displacement+conflict, especially chronic poverty https://t.co/405FshUeXW

UN expert on Mali calls for new law to prevent smugglers+traffickers acting with impunity. In areas with weak rule of law, such networks are thriving. More actions, including policy-making, must be done to dismantle these networks https://t.co/9x46sgtS0v

Faster+increased resettlement needed for refugees, not only in Libya but for the most vulnerable, including orphans, sick, disabled, elderly + survivors of rape and torture. Thank you to the States who have received people already+for those still to come! https://t.co/9fQWDSAYNk

This article shows why the Rwanda Emergency Transit Centre is so important. There are nowhere near enough resettlement places compared to the need. In the meantime, the Rwanda centre will allow us to evacuate the most vulnerable to safety (in French) https://t.co/VCezmYBZtC

Bon voyage! Ocean Viking and other NGO search and rescue boats are performing a crucial role, and have saved thousands of refugees from drowning in recent years. They need our support. https://t.co/DChwAgADOK
