Saturday is the #International Day against #Nuclear Tests. Nuclear testing harms the environment, #human #health & #economic development. It is a relic of another age and has no place in the 21st century. http://bit.ly/9nCd66 #UnitedNations (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfEkDgh565/?igshid=1delw4i4vikkc

In 1852 #FrederickDouglass was invited to give a speech commemorating the #FourthofJuly. Here's part of that speech, in which he deftly calls out the contradictions between the soaring language of #America's #FoundingFathers and the reality of #slavery.

Canada day celebrates the passing of the British North America Act, 1867. Passed by the British Parliament, it created #Canada as a new, domestically self-governing federation, consisting of The Province of Canada (formerly the colonies of Lower Canada and Upper Canada now #Quebec and #Ontario), #NewBrunswick, and #NovaScotia on July 1, 1867. Now known as the Constitution Act, it established the new federation’s distribution of responsibilities and powers for each level of government and the rights of its inhabitants. #HappyCanadaDay @canmushistory (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGeWO6hqoA/?igshid=1h2ocm35owy33

Preventing & ending sexual exploitation and abuse by UN personnel is a top priority. The signs of abuse are not always physical. Knowledge of the many forms of abuse, how to recognize and report it, is an integral part of #peacekeeping personnel’s training. #HonouringOurValues #A4P (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYZTuVAR0n/?igshid=e5psw4ajqkzq
