My message to #UNSC today is clear: the most effective way to reduce suffering in #war is to uphold the fundamental principle of humanity. The most important tool for achieving this is in our hands: International humanitarian law. pic.twitter.com/posh6mQ0jX

Happy the UK was able to make a contribution to support the commemoration of the 70th session of the #InternationalLawCommission today. Important reminder of need to enhance interaction between the 6th committee and #ILC despite the busy NY schedule. pic.twitter.com/l0ah0qISM7

5th multi-stakeholder discussion on #GlobalCompactMigration. Another panel with strong advocates for migration agreeing with each other.
But itβs obvious that #migration is contentious in many countries.
Not quite the 360 degree approach the co-facilitators are so keen on. pic.twitter.com/F7lLCXqCym

π¬π§'s @AmbassadorAllen responds to attempts to revoke consultative status of an NGO:
It would be unfortunate for this committee to move at lightning speed to revoke the status of an NGO when it moves so slow when considering granting status to organisations.

Important negotiations are taking place in #UNECOSOC this week at the Committee on NGOs.
This is the space for dialogue about how NGOs and @UN can best work together.
Civil society plays a valuable in informing π¬π§ work across the UN.

2018 presents a great opportunity to finally deliver what the people of Libya have demanded for so long:
A peaceful, secure, prosperous country, and an opportunity to have a say in how this is achieved through credible elections.

Tragedy continues to strike, including the attack on the High National Election Commission on 2 May.
It is a stark reminder that groups are still working to undermine the democratic process.
