Fantastic concert yesterday at the Waldbühne, Berlin: the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, featuring young musicians from different Middle East countries, conducted by Daniel Barenboim.
The Divan project, co-founded by Barenboim & writer Edward Saif sends a clear message of cooperation & coexistence.

Today we honor the victims and survivors of the #SrebrenicaGenocide.
Safeguarding their stories is our shared responsibility.
Srebrenica did not happen overnight.
It is our duty to stand up and never look away when #HumanRights are violated and the dignity of others is questioned.

One element of Germany’s comprehensive support for USG SRSG Patten is dedicated to building local capacity in #Syria. Tens of thousands of #CRSV survivors in Syria are in need of support. Accountability for these crimes is an essential element for long-term stabilization. 2/2

Good start of #CSW69 meeting: despite last minute attempts to significantly water down the political declaration it was adopted today.
In times of stagnation + pushbacks, we need to mobilise support for gender equality: equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you.
