We are finally on Bluesky!

We’re the #UnitedNations Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions, or #OROLSI for short.

We’re here to strengthen #justice, #security and #peace, because even in the sky, rule of law and security shouldn’t be up in the air!
In the margins of the DDR Symposium, together with @denmarkinny.bsky.social, the #DDR section convened a “Friends of #Haiti” meeting to discuss #BINUH’s DDR/CVR/WAM efforts.

Participants reaffirmed that rebuilding trust & fostering Haitian-led peace efforts are key to lasting stability.
