@DrTedros "As you know, just under three weeks ago I declared an end to #COVID19 as a public health emergency of international concern.

It was a moment of relief and reflection.

It’s encouraging to see life return to normal – to be able to hug a friend, to travel freely, and to meet… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Since 1969 @dfat has exploited complicit and unwitting prime ministers & ministers from both sides of politics to defraud #TimorLeste of its oil & gas resource. DFAT's made the bed we now sadly have to lie in. All Aussies should read this thread! #auspol theguardian.com/world/2022/aug…
1969: Australia granted 5 petroleum exploration permits over parts of the seabed that lay closer to Portuguese-Timor than Australia … and then refused to talk to Portugal about a sea boundary, even after their 1970 formal protest about Australia's Timor Sea claim. #auspol Image
1975 - 1999: Alone in the world, and with the aim of accessing #TimorLeste’s oil & gas resources, Australia encouraged and lent support to Indonesia’s invasion of Timor, whose citizens preferred independence. 204,000 Timorese died opposing Indonesia’s occupation. #auspol Image

(string: beg) 19 anos atrás, um carro-bomba com 1-tn TNT mudou a minha vida. Na #ONU onde trabalhava no #Iraque, foi morto meu marido #SergioVieiradeMello e 21 amigos. Até hoje, nenhum tribunal tem nos oferecido respostas:Por quê? Porque a #ONU é imune à processos judiciais.
(string)Ironicamente,#Sergio era Chefe máximo da #ONU em #DireitosHumanos. Os sobreviventes do atentado gostariam de saber por que a imunidade não foi suspensa para oferecer justiça. Não estamos sozinhos:muitos são os que sofriram abuso p/ imunidade de organizações internacionais
Apos a repercussão do filme #Sergio da #Netflix, quis compartilhar um pouco sobre quem realmente era #SergioVieiradeMello, mas acima de tudo, narrar o que realmente aconteceu após o ataque de #Bagdá em 2003. Éramos uma família quando a bomba explodiu

(start string) Nineteen yrs ago, a truck-bomb with 1-tn TNT changed my life. In the #UN office where I worked in #Iraq, it killed my spouse #Sergio and 21 friends. ‘Til today, no prosecutor or court ever gave us answers: why? B/c the #UN is #immune from prosecution
Ironically,#Sergio was #UN #HumanRights top man.Bomb survivors would like to know why immunity was never waived to bring justice. We are not alone:many withstand #abuse from international organizations’ #abuseofimmunity. Read my story in thread:
Following the impact of #Netflix ‘s movie #SergioNetflix, wanted to share a little about who #SergioVieiradeMello really was but above all, narrate what really happened after 2003 #Baghdad attack.We were a family when the bomb went off

#TimorLeste 🇹🇱 news: CNRT's Secretary General walked back the party's desire for a snap parliamentary election. Some quick analysis. (1/7) oekusipost.com/en/politics/14…
This is quite a walk back, as CNRT has long agitated for a snap election. But, it also reflects the realities of the electoral calendar - the next election, currently scheduled to take place by mid-2023, is fast approaching. (2/7)
Presumably, CNRT failed to entice KHUNTO to defect from the government. CNRT's decision also reflects Pres. Horta backing away from a snap election upon his election in April. (3/7)

This tweet admits the reason why a number of lawmakers have supported the #AntiTerrorBill and confirms the concerns and sentiments of those who oppose it--that it is to quell dissent toward the #DuterteKakistocracy and to clamp on free speech and the freedom of the press.
2/18
To begin with, all the countries mentioned in the senate president's tweet have either undergone oppressive governments under tyrants, registered poor ratings in free speech and press freedom, committed gross violations of human rights, or even banned religious freedom.

Thailand, for instance, had been ruled by men in uniform for 55 of the 83 years from 1932 to 2009. And it was ruled by a military junta from 2014 to 2019. Its politics also has a frammework of constitutional monarch. It may also be recalled that in 2007, a military

Após o impacto positivo da estréia do filme #SergioNetflix queria compartilhar um pouco sobre quem realmente era #SergioVieiradeMello mas acima de tudo narrar o que realmente aconteceu depois do ataque de #Bagdad 2003. Estávamos juntos havia mais de 3 anos quando a bomba explodiu
Sergio era carioca. Amava seu país e as cores e calor da sua cidade cheia de contrastes. Seus pais viajaram pelo mundo representando o Brasil como diplomatas do #Itamaraty e, por causa da ditadura, aos 21 anos Sérgio começou muito junior sua carreira na #ONU
Eu, de flia que em 1783 instalou-se na Argentina, nos anos ‘90 aos 18 anos, dei um salto de fé para fazer estudos nos EUA, ingressei no ramo de finanças em Nova York,mas encontrei um chamado interior na sede da ONU:esperança de contribuir para melhorar a vida dos mais vulneráveis

(String :o) Following positive impact that #Netflix premiere of movie #SergioNetflix, wanted to share a little about who #SergioVieiradeMello really was but above all, narrate what really happened after 2003 #Baghdad attack.We had been together over 3 years when the bomb went off
Sergio was from #RiodeJaneiro. He loved his country & his colorful, hot & humid city of contrasts. His parents travelled the world representing Brazil as diplomats & because of the dictatorship, at 21 began his diplomatic career in #UN from the groundup #SergioNetflix
Myself, a native from Argentina who, in 90s at the age of 18, took a leap of faith to do her studies in the US, got into finance in New York, yet found a higher calling in #UnitedNationsHQ with the hope of making a contribution to improve lives of the most vulnerable
