Enormously grateful to @ICJ_Africa for the opportunity to speak in #Eswatini this weekend and to exchange with impressive lawyers working to uphold the rule of law. Lawyers continue their work in the face of fear, especially after the killing of Thulani Maseko in 2023. I share their concerns about the independence of judges and lawyers in the country and will be carefully monitoring the situation.
Lawyers must be free to work without intimidation, threats, or attacks.

1/2 🏨 From nursing homes to group homes, institutions are places where persons w/ #disabilities are forced to reside under the guise of “care”.
The reality is that institutions cause isolation & remove control that they should have over their own lives.
#DIguidelines

It is a place where persons with disabilities are forced to live to supposedly receive "care" or "treatment", including nursing homes, group homes, treatment centers, long stay hospitals, special boarding schools

#ICJ Hugely disappointing that the Court has not ordered an immediate cease-fire or an end to Israel's military campaign, despite acknowledging the ongoing indiscriminate bombardment and attacks against the people in Gaza and the West Bank
