The WH Committee took significant time to consider more generally the possibility of inscription of sites of memory associated with recent conflicts. Despite possible difficulties related to some sites of this type, the inscription of these sites in Rwanda was a good decision.

I'm looking forward to taking part in this panel, in superb company. My contribution will be on how risk-informed approaches from Disaster Risk Reduction can reduce vulnerability, in #museums & society. Based on my The Churchill Fellowship experiences in Sendai & elsewhere in Japan🇯🇵

On Sunday, we honour the 1 million people who perished in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, and reflect on the suffering of those who survived.

This day serves as a tragic reminder of the need to #StandUp4HumanRights -- always. un.org/en/preventgeno… #Kwibuka

Ignorance of past events is one of the biggest barriers to ensuring 'never again' is more than a slogan. Tomorrow's Day of Reflection on the Rwanda Genocide is also a time to reflect on the terrible crises happening now un.org/en/preventgeno…

Yet, the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature & biodiversity loss, and pollution & waste, poses an imminent threat.

#WorldHealthDay serves as a reminder to take action #ForNature & a sustainable future.

Museum organisations very quiet on what is going on in Gaza (& other humanitarian disasters worldwide), when #museums can play many, many roles before, during & after disasters. Standing up for human rights should be easy, right?
