I'm excited to share my latest article, where I outline the work that the UN Human Rights Office is doing on the legacy of #nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands.
This initiative inspired me to look at nuclear treaties & related measures through a transitional justice framework 👇

Traditionally, nuclear weapons issues are focused on State security, not human rights. But, Renata Dalaqua writes, a new initiative by the UNOHCR is changing this by utilizing a transitional justice framework to address nuclear legacy in the Marshall Islands:

Human rights & nuclear regimes: lessons from the Marshall Islands
Acknowledgement and respect for human rights can encourage States, like the Marshall Islands, to join and participate in nuclear regimes.

Foram muitos os aprendizados com o Embaixador Azambuja. Uma das lições que carrego para a vida é a importância da síntese e da clareza na comunicação. Com ele, não havia "bla bla bla". Como ele dizia, "a brevidade é um sinal de inteligência".
O embaixador Marcos de Azambuja, que morreu nesta quarta (28) aos 90 anos, foi um dos nomes mais importantes da diplomacia brasileira, sendo lembrado por sua atuação em temas como desarmamento e meio ambiente.
