Washington Post: “We can now see that the great unraveling that was World War II perhaps began with Japan’s 1931 invasion of Manchuria. Without the benefit of retrospection, we cannot be certain that World War III has not begun.” @ David_Cameron washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Today, we mourn those killed during the Armenian Genocide and commit to telling their stories so they are never lost to history.

I am inspired by the resiliency of the Armenian people and all they have built, but we can never forget. Honored to have paid my respects last year:

Liverpool Pier Head protest against world poverty- with Frank Field, Lynda Chalker, Archbishop Derek Worlock and Bishop David Sheppard.

Armenian Genocide- those who forget past atrocities are condemned to repeat them all over again. “Forgive and forget” is shallow & glib. It dodges the question of justice. Forgive but remember & act to prevent endless repetition of genocidal acts motivated by hatred of difference

We are dedicated to advocating for the #religiousfreedom of individuals & communities worldwide. Our friend & colleague Rahima Mahmut expresses her gratitude to Notre Dame Law School for giving her a platform to address the ongoing #Uyghur issue at the 2023 Notre Dame Religious Liberty Summit.

PM Rishi Sunak is right to ask other NATO countries to reach 2.5% of GDP on defence- made credible by UK’s example. As Iran & North Korea back Putin’s Ukraine War & CCP supports Putin’s war economy democratic nations must defend our way of life & the sovereignty of free nations.

The Bulwark- ⁦⁦Speaker Mike Johnson⁩ chose not just to support Ukraine but to make a personal sacrifice by prioritising liberty & the world order over his own political future. Trump keeps lists and will remember all of this. We should too.” thebulwark.com/p/johnson-will…
