One hopes @JimYongKim statement that Africa does not have time to invest in creating a good education system based on skilled teachers and must rely on magic tablets and failed private sector provision does not reflect the entirety of its approach #amcso18 #humancapital .

Concerning the enthusiastic references to PPPs in education at World Bank EDs round table, perhaps a read of UK National Audit Office report of UK PPP experience and recent CSO report on failed PPPs would be in order #AMCSO18 @WorldBank #HistoryRePPPeated

More cheap (?) talk from @INTERPOL_HQ: „As stated in the Vienna Declaration…all human rights are universal, indivisible and interrelated. The international community must treat human rights globally in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis.”

This clinic in #SouthSudan used to hold 600 consultations a week. Staff treated almost 20,000 people.
Then it was looted.
It has been out of service for over three months.
Every time a clinic is targeted, an entire community suffers.
Health care is #NotATarget.

In her latest report @YangheeLeeSKKU rightly raises considerable concern about #Myanmar’s shrinking democratic space: declining media freedom, increasing intimidation & harassment of those who stand up for human rights & against injustices and a culture of silence/self-censorship https://t.co/RgPMehjn5Y

#EU trade privileges afforded to #Cambodia are not by right,they are conditioned on respect for human rights as laid down in int’l law.
If privileges are suspended it’s the result of the Hun Sen regime’s rights abuses.
The ball is in the regime’s court.
These are not EU sanctions https://t.co/lDPx1wzC5j— Lotte Leicht (@LotteLeicht1) 8. Oktober 2018

This is the first time I’ve seen a Chinese official admit that other countries might have sovereignty over the SCS islands; and also that UNCLOS alone governs (doesn’t mention 9 Dash Line).
