But #HateIsTaught & can be fought - I welcome the @UN_HRC increased efforts to work for a world free from genocide & related atrocity crimes; and engagement with this focused discussion on role of social media platforms & their instrumentalisation by those seeking to spread hate.

While it does not erase the pain and suffering of the victims, Sheka's conviction in DR Congo provides encouragement that he has been brought to account & is significant for #RuleOfLaw in DRC. It is also a demonstration of what can be achieved w cross-cutting partnerships. 📽️⤵️

On Criminal Justice Day, @UN brings a story of warlord Sheka in DRC, whose conviction sends a powerful message that perpetrators of atrocity crimes incl genocide, war crimes & crimes against humanity, no matter how influential, will be brought to account.

Las mujeres en la política son a menudo los primeros blancos del discurso de odio, solo por ser mujeres. Aún así, trabajan y se esfuerzan para mejorar la vida de todas las personas desde la función pública. Estoy muy agradecida de que compartan sus experiencias conmigo en 🇨🇷

The trauma of genocide can be transmitted across generations. If we care about mental health we must support efforts to #preventgenocide . For #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth I urge global action to help in reducing potential exposure to risk factors.
