“Nuclear disarmament is not merely a political aspiration, but an international legal obligation that demands meaningful action.” Dato’ Nadzirah Osman, Malaysian ambassador to the UN #DisarmamentWeek @MYNewYorkUN1 @SethShelden @Horizon2045 @IPPNW @lcnp_nyc icanw.org/nuclear_weapons_in…
Experts assess the status of nuclear weapons under international law

Experts assess the status of nuclear weapons under international law

Given their catastrophic effects, nuclear weapons can never be used in conformity with the UN Charter or international humanitarian law.

Russia's reported threat to use nuclear weapons against #NATO countries is irresponsible. Threatening to strike "Decision-making centres" means cities full of people. Nuclear threats are prohibited under the #TPNW and must be condemned by all states. giftarticle.ft.com/giftartic…

My wife Yara tells me that the world has forgotten us, that no one is thinking about us anymore, and that she has lost hope. But I told her that the world still thinks about us, and that many people love us and stand with us. So I posted this tweet to prove to her that there are still many people who care about us and who love our children, Imad and Adam. So my friend, if you see this, please leave a 🍉 or 🇵🇸 or even just a dot(.). It gives my family hope and strength.

I spent years trying to help NGOs diversify their funding away from foreign grants. Now that important people are declaring the end of the age of the NGO/of development (!), I figured it's time to tell Western grant-makers how to stop spending their money. Excerpts in the link⬇️

Would we want an independent Scotland to be more like Ireland on the world stage?

Would we want an independent Scotland to be more like Ireland on the world stage?

WHAT if Scotland had a defence and foreign policy more like the Republic of Ireland’s – ideally without its contradictions?

I've seen all the various versions of what people say he said, and I don't see any significant difference between them. BenGvir is standing over bound and prostrate prisoners saying that there should be a death penalty for them. And?

So sad to hear Archie Fisher has died. I first met Archie around 1963 ...He was a leading light in the 'folk revival' in the early 60s and was a regular along with others like Bert Jansch/ Robin Williamson at the legendary 'The Howff' at 369 High St. Edinburgh. #RIPArchieFisher
