- Some tough negotiations & drama, but 6th Comm was able to decide to move to negotiations by consensus. Prep comms in 2026 & 2027, negotiations in 2028 & 2029. A lot of hard work ahead to make sure we get a progressive treaty that meaningfully protects victims, but onwards! @leilasadat1.bsky.social
- Today, the UNGA 6th Committee has an opportunity to take a step to close a 75 year old legal gap by moving the draft crimes against humanity treaty to negotiations. This is a crucial opportunity to advance global justice, including for gender-based crimes. #CaHTreatyNow
