The Kingdom of the Netherlands, as a member of @mediafreedomc, joined this statement for the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. It highlights the growing threats journalists, especially women, face from AI and tech-facilitated GBV.

It has been a deadly year for journalism in conflict zones. Worldwide, in nine out of ten cases where journalists are killed, the perpetrators go unpunished. This needs to change. 1/2

25 years ago, the UN adopted Resolution 1325: the first resolution to recognize that women play a key role in peace and security. 🕊️ Jordanian journalist Rawan Jayousi shows why that’s still just as vital today. 📖 Read the interview: https://t.co/r6KX3p66oL

Today, Russians commemorate the millions of victims of Stalin’s repression - a reminder of the importance of human rights and democratic freedoms. We urge the Russian authorities to adhere to these principles, release the 1100+ political prisoners, and respect fundamental rights.

Together with the United Kingdom, we are ramping up Ukraine’s resilience against Russian cyber threats. The Netherlands is supporting the UK’s Ukraine Cyber Programme with €10 million, also via the #TallinnMechanism. We remain steadfast in our joint support to Ukraine 🇬🇧🇳🇱🇺🇦

There can be no impunity for the mass violence taking place. All parties must adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law. 2/2

The escalating violence in El Fasher has dramatic consequences for hundreds of thousands of civilians. An immediate ceasefire - in El Fasher, Darfur and throughout #Sudan - is of paramount importance. Civilians must be protected, allowed safe passage and get access to aid. 1/2

Support for Ukraine and strong pressure on Russia are crucial. At the same time, we must stay focused on the pursuit of justice. In #Kyiv, I announced that the Netherlands will host the initial set-up of the Special Tribunal on Russia's crime of aggression against Ukraine. 1/2

Russia is deliberately targeting Ukraine’s energy grid, disrupting power supplies. With winter approaching, urgent repairs are vital. The Dutch government is providing an additional €25 million to restore infrastructure & secure gas. The Netherlands continues to support Ukraine.

“For 80 years, we have worked to forge peace, tackle poverty & hunger, advance human rights & build a more sustainable world – together.” On Friday's #UNDay, @antonioguterres urges people to unite & fulfil the extraordinary promise of the United Nations. https://t.co/D4ULu24igk

A world without the @UN? On #UNDay, we’re reminded that global challenges demand global solutions. From peace and security to climate and poverty, our colleagues around the world work every day with partners around the world to strengthen that cooperation.

Great to meet again with FM @AymanHsafadi. Our countries share an excellent relationship. Next year, we will be celebrating 75 years of bilateral ties. We spoke about further strengthening our cooperation on migration, water & trade, and discussed the war in Ukraine. 1/2

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan plays an important role in the stability of the region and is a valued partner of the Netherlands. During my visit, I aim to further strengthen our cooperation in the areas of humanitarian aid, security and sustainable development.

Valuable to discuss with FM HH @FaisalbinFarhan ways to deepen our political and economic cooperation. NL and Saudi-Arabia are both top 20 economies, actively engaged in an uncertain world. 1/2

How can 190+ countries address trade turbulence and other challenges? One thing is clear: we need to work with each other, not against each other. #KingdomNL Perm. Rep. in Geneva @EricaSchoutenNL and #UNCTAD16 Head of Delegation Steven Collet on the urgency of joint action ⤵️

Arrived in Lebanon, where I spoke with @UNSCOL envoy @JeanineHennis. Lebanon has suffered severely from the war between Israel and Hezbollah last year, and the situation remains fragile. Regional stability and economic recovery remain crucial.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a key player in the Middle East. They are an important partner for stability and security in the region with significant geopolitical influence, and also our largest economic partner in the Gulf region. 1/2

The 16th session of the @UNCTAD United Nations Conference on Trade and Development starts today. The Netherlands chairs the negotiations. We are committed to strengthening cooperation across regions - North and South, West and East - for fair and sustainable development.
