SG Guterres on UNSC res 2401. Some convoys entered E Ghouta, Homs and Afrin, but much more needed, incl evacuations of sick and wounded. A humanitarian cease fire as demanded by the SC is possible and must immediately be put in place. We will not give up. 7 years of war. Enough!

Another grotesque and appalling outburst of racism and misogyny by #Philippines President #Duterte.
This time against the #ICC’s chief prosecutor and an #UN expert.
