Privilege to meet Bertita Caceres COPINH to learn more about their work to defend the rights of indigenous people & secure accountability for the assassination of Berta Caceres. Remarkable achievements in the face of huge odds. Great to see Trócaire support for this.

Wonderful visit to learn more about the impressive work being done by Las Hormigas to tackle gender based violence & build women’s power. Great to see how support from Trócaire is helping to make a very concrete difference.

Just got my copy of this important new book by Nick Grono. Essential reading. Be sure to get your copy now.

Could someone from RTÉ News explain why both the Nuacht and now the main 6:01 news bulletin appear to be geoblocked on my television in Belfast? What is RTÉ doing to ensure public service broadcasting is available throughout the 32 counties? Kevin Bakhurst

Very much looking forward to watching this inspiring film about the life & work of Inez McCormack & joining the panel discussion.

Packed screening ⁦Queen's Film Theatre⁩ of new film about the life & advocacy of Mary Robinson. Great story of the difference one person can make. Be sure to look out for it. Film followed by moving & honest Q & A with Mary R beautifully hosted by ⁦Kathy Clugston⁩

Great evening reflecting on the life, love & legacy of the late Inez McCormack who even in death continues to inspire & challenge us all to do more to build a fairer place for everyone. Sorely missed.

Clear and compelling on the problems that need to be addressed. Relevant for everywhere. Worth a watch.

This man's life was almost certainly saved by a few Donegall Road local heroes who literally put their bodies between him and a violent mob. 🙏 Man hospitalised after ‘hate crime’ as attackers ‘stamped on his head’ during another night of Belfast violence belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…

Golden Dawn was an extreme far-right political party that rose to prominence during Greece's economic crisis. While its politicians were being elected to parliament, its armed gangs were attacking refugees, migrants, and other vulnerable minorities. Activism led by civil society

Chance to work with a great team of people. Take a look.

Crocosmia looking good #MalinHead

As atrocities worsen in Myanmar, the UN General Assembly and Human Rights Council have acted, calling for an embargo on arms and jet fuel to the military junta, but the UN Security Council has been silent. Britain has the lead on Myanmar. Where is it? passblue.com/2024/08/26/the…

Just saw this beautifully-made film, Mrs Robinson, what an amazing life and what a driven woman who deployed her exceptional talents with skill, courage and generosity. Will soon be reminding my students that she started out as a lawyer!

Sorry to have missed this. Very much looking forward to reading.

Labour doing something similar in Northern Ireland - continuing the previous government’s appeal against the High Court’s ruling in Dillon that elements of the Legacy Act should be disapplied because they are contrary to Article 2 of the Windsor Framework.

Important report here from PivotalPPF taking stock of the progress being made by the restored Northern Ireland Executive. Worth a read.

Today’s message from the Scottish Government's Programme for Government that a Scottish Human Rights Bill is not on the agenda nor a priority is deeply disappointing and a breach of trust. The Bill, due to be introduced by June 2024, has been inexplicably delayed again.

Great job opportunity here.

Am sure you had a productive discussion with Michael O'Flaherty
