No human rights defender should face intimidation for engaging with @OSCE. ODIHR regrets comments targeting Georgian civil society representatives for their participation at the 2026 Warsaw Human Dimension Conference. HRDs must be able to speak freely without fear of retaliation.

Vandaag sprak ik met @ignaziocassis, zowel de Zwitserse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken als @OSCE-voorzitter. Nederland waardeert het langlopende partnerschap met Zwitserland en de OVSE rondom veiligheid en stabiliteit in de regio. Ik kijk uit naar verdere samenwerking.

The findings underscore the urgency of establishing the truth and achieving justice for Russian war crimes. The Netherlands continues to support Ukraine in the fight against impunity. There can be no peace without justice. Report: osce.org/odihr/598042

Since the start of the war, thousands of Ukrainian civilians have been arbitrarily detained by Russia. Detainees have also been subjected to torture and sexual violence. I strongly condemn these appalling acts, as reported by the @OSCE Moscow Mechanism fact-finding mission. 1/2
