Wonderful to be in Berlin with my fellow Richard von Weizsäcker fellows at the Robert Bosch Foundation in Berlin. Such an inspiring and energising community. See if you can spot some faves.

A victory for humanity that the world has the ICC. Justice done in this case. Now let’s ensure that all those charged by the ICC face trial there, wherever they are from.

"...policies never land in a vacuum;
they emerge in a world of stories about what
is possible, desirable, and fair."

The idea that this could be done to a people and *not* be a sin, because that people are not real people, or are lesser than other people, is itself the most grievous sin. If this happened to you, wouldn’t it be wrong?

“Respectable power” never could get how the values that drove Martin Luther King to oppose segregation led him to oppose the war on Vietnam. They called it his “wrong turn”.

Not a surprise, then, to see “respectable power” confused today by Greta, who they once recognised as
