Our friend Judy Heumann has touched lives throughout the world and receiving well deserved recognition for it.
Poignant moment as the Interactive Dialogue with @SR_Disability at the Human Rights Council begins with a silence recognising the massive contribution of @judithheumann to disability rights globally including the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities itself #HRC52

Bombing orphanages and institutions for people with disabilities a war crime. @DRI_advocacy keeping track in Ukraine to hold abusers accountable. @IDA_CRPD_Forum @lenrubenstein @oneillinstitute @ENIL_EU @SaveChildrenEU.
Thanks to @usmissiongeneva for hosting important #Ukraine discussion yesterday. Laws of war aren't optional. All civilians including those w/#disabilities must be protected & illegal orders resisted. All personnel, senior or junior, are answerable to international criminal law.
