Gives clarity and specificity to broad criticisms of #UNSC dysfunction. Great piece from @RichardGowan1 First read it after consultations on Myanmar went down a cul-de-sac. Would add the #Rohingya crisis to this list...https://t.co/V3mcZF2aKD via @crisisgroup

The first step to addressing a rise of civilian casualties in conflict is understanding the complexities of urban combat from all sides. A lot of organizations I talk to are putting in hard work to do just that @CivCenter @ICRC @UN_Disarmament @UN_Vienna https://t.co/a4VtgPt8wW

More than half of all civilians killed by land mines are kids. There is a reason why killing & maiming is first among the six grave violations against children. The U.S. should be limiting the impact of conflict on kids. Instead the opposite is happening. https://t.co/F4oTPWAwu2

Interesting to me that the official line on ‘Human Rights up Front’ is that it’s been “mainstreamed,” as if everyone that works at/within/on the UN doesn’t know that when something has been “mainstreamed,” it means that thing is not really being done in any way whatsoever. https://t.co/OEIE44pUer

Megatrends. Very good @Oxfam blog on 4 big megatrends. Important to see “power” clearly marked as a megatrend alongside tech, climate and demography. And key emphasis on tracking “virtual geographies.” https://t.co/YG3sg1cViF)
