In December 1948, @UN General Assembly, by unanimous vote, affirmed that #genocide is a crime under international law. It is a crime whether committed in times of peace or war. Marking 75 years since the Convention, take a look at its notion & use.

Around the world, media workers are more & more risking their lives to bring us the news. The @UN recognizes the invaluable work of journalists to ensure that the public is informed & engaged. Without press freedom, we won't have any freedom. #WorldPressFreedomDay
