The U.S. Institute for Peace is an independent agency created and funded by Congress.

The termination by DOGE of the programme to track Russian abduction of Ukrainian children ( in the tens of thousands) is unconscionable, unforgiveable and an even more shameful sign of Trump's craven enabling of Putin's war crimes.

We’re suing the Trump administration on behalf of immigrant children to block a new policy that unlawfully prolongs their detention and keeps them from their families. ⬇️ Let’s break it down.

"Last year saw more than 3600 attacks on health workers, hospitals & clinics in conflict zones, a record figure reflecting “new levels of horror,'" per new Safeguarding Health report in The Guardian. The toll is 15% higher than in 2023, 66% higher than 2022. theguardian.com/global-develop…

The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

This “meeting” between Trump and Ramaphosa has devolved into a shameful spectacle. SA leaders came with their golf diplomacy and Trump savaged him with some fake snuff film and violent rhetoric. Engaging on Trump’s terms never goes well for anyone. This is shameful.

What leader will come to the WH for an Oval Office mtg when it is simply an ambush so Donald J. Trump can use the media to incite his followers? So utterly unpresidential.

An American President sits in the Oval Office and holds up “proof” of a “white genocide” that’s actually photos of a site where black women were raped and killed. This is a sick man. A racial arsonist. All of his enablers are equally twisted and dangerous yahoo.com/news/trump-dis…

I condemn U.S. sanctions on judges of the International Criminal Court, which undermine accountability for victims of international crimes, greenlight atrocities, and dishonour the U.S.' proud legacy in forging international justice through the Nuremberg trials after WW2

Yesterday we told Foreign Affairs Committee that, with political leaders distracted by Israel's conflict with Iran & amid internet blackouts, colleagues worry people in Gaza will die in the dark. Today: Israeli forces massacred 59 Palestinians seeking aid, to zero political condemnation

Just to be sure, on this day more than ever: I stand firmly and convincingly on the side of justice, as I have always done. I come from a country with a tradition of illustrious legal scholars, talented lawyers and corageous judges who have defended justice at great cost and

Secretary Rubio fired State HQ's entire ASEAN team while he was in Malaysia, attending the ASEAN meetings they prepared for him. Glad he liked the meetings, though.

The Supreme Court’s job is to preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t even attempting to do law.
