Vienna shone a light on human rights again this week with events marking the 30th anniversary of the Vienna Declaration. Get a glimpse of #Vienna30 activities MQ – MuseumsQuartier Wien where UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk spoke about human rights as a force for change and unity. 🎥 ⤵️
Today I met the United Nations higher commissioner for human rights Volker Türk I shared the concerns of women-led organizations and stressed the need for his continued support #ourrightourfuture #insolidarityandhope # #Vienna30 #youthsforhumanrights MFA Austria United Nations Government of Nigeria
Inspiring to see young human rights defenders coming together at #UNVienna to take action & discuss important human rights issues. Hosted by MFA Austria for #Vienna30 , they heard from Mary Lawlor UN Special Rapporteur HRDs, UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk and met Austrian President A. Van der Bellen.
I met Austrian President A. Van der Bellen for the #Vienna30 youth event, and I expressed my grave #HumanRights concerns over TotalEnergies EACOP pipeline in Uganda and Tanzania.
It is displacing over 100.000 citizens and putting water for 40 million people at risk.
From Vienna, this seater marking #Vienna30 made its way to Geneva to commemorate #HumanRights75 . Key anniversaries reminding us that human rights are the greatest binding force to our shared humanity & are the roadmap to overcoming today’s challenges.
Thank you Austria UN Geneva
