It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Woke up to see Donald Trump sharing a video on Truth Social about turning Gaza into a holiday resort with a giant gold statue of Trump, ending with a final shot of Trump and Netanyahu enjoying the beach together. Absolutely unhinged. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Bra journalistikk som gjør meg som minoritetsnordmann uvel… Jeg klarer ikke å forstå at folk flest ikke står i mot. Jeg klarer ikke å ta innover meg at jeg er mindre verdt - for det ér i essens dét disse meningene betyr. Og at så mange ikke bryr seg. Jeg trenger ingen trøst. Jeg trenger allierte.

Dear Non-Fascist Europeans, The current US leaders believe they're allied with fascists inside your country against you, not allied with you against foreign invasion and threats to democracy. I'm sorry, I wish it weren't true, but it is. You really need to adjust. Sincerely, Non-fascist Americans

Tråd. For noen år tilbake var det mange i medie-Norge (ja, Aftenpodden, jeg ser på dere) som syntes det var så kjekt at fascisten Steve Bannon ble invitert til Nordiske mediedager. Vi må jo forstå hva han står for og hvordan han opererer, må vite!

Til alle fans av Elon Musk og Donald Trump så vil jeg gjerne utstede denne håndbevegelsen, som er et obskurt symbol på glede og engasjement.

As we mark the 20th anniversary of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), the norm is struggling. Can small states save R2P? While many small states Such as the Nordics provide rhetorical support for R2P, their role in norm advancement differs significantly: #R2P20 #R2P #AtrocityPrevention

The #atrocityprevention agenda and the #WomenPeaceAndSecurity agenda both deal with the protection of civilians from violent crimes. In this new policy brief, @andrea-cocciarelli.bsky.social and I show how atrocity prevention can strengthen #WPS and gender-sensitive approaches to conflict.

Norway is known for its high ambitions in international human rights and civilian protection. How does this translate into promoting #atrocityprevention and the Responsibility to Protect - #R2P - in the #SecurityCouncil? Check out my open access article in the Nordic Journal of Human Rights.
