Last night, #Russia’s brutal airstrikes once again claimed the lives of innocent civilians all over #Ukraine.
We must increase the pressure on Russia to stop its war of aggression against Ukraine. The time for a comprehensive and unconditional #ceasefire is now!

Austria has never closed its Embassy in #Syria. Our Ambassador is in #Damascus and met with representatives of the de-facto authorities, urging for a stable & inclusive political order offering perspectives for all Syrians.

We are working on gradually strengthening our Embassy.

The fall of the Assad regime marks a historic turning point after years of repression and conflict.

We call for an orderly, inclusive and peaceful transition based on UNSC Resolution 2254 that creates perspectives for all Syrians & allows the millions of refugees to return home.

Today is the International Day of #PersonsWithDisabilities. I recently came across a guide on everything Austrian museums have to offer in terms of accessibility & inclusion. How much this would have helped me in planning museum visits with my elderly father. museumsguide.net/en/

We welcome the ceasefire agreement in #Lebanon and call on all parties to adhere to it. This will finally allow Israeli and Lebanese civilians to return to their homes. We appreciate the efforts by the US and France. Austria will continue its engagement in #UNIFIL.

🔸 #OrangeTheWorld against gender-based violence 🔸

Violence against women and girls has absolutely no place anywhere in our world. Nothing can ever justify it.

Let’s act together and end gender-based violence NOW - online and offline, in Austria and around the world❗️
November 26, 2024 at 2:04 PM
#OrangeTheWorld Writing here about violence against women might not help a lot, still it can help to raise awareness (think of the stigma & impunity involved!). In case: listen to & believe survivors. And here‘s the women’s emergency number 0800 222 555 (Austria).

Glad that there is a filter that looks for „adult only“ content, but perhaps you find a way to exclude art? @bsky.app

Austrian Foreign Minister A. Schallenberg:

“The #ICC decision to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant is utterly incomprehensible. International Law is non negotiable and applies everywhere, at all times. But this decision is a disservice to the Court‘s credibility. (1/2)

For Vienna tourists the „Augarten“ is a bit off the track though it‘s worth discovering. With the reopening of this exhibition space it should be a must on the list of those tourists who have a bit more time at hand.
