Looking back at April, I am struck by a recurring sentiment: we are standing at a pivotal crossroads in history - a change of era. This requires us to act decisively to save the treasure of human rights law that we risk losing.
Tomorrow at the Meeting of #CouncilOfEurope Foreign Affairs Ministers in Chișinău, our leaders have a very important opportunity to reaffirm core values.

On #InternationalRomaDay, and every day, we must stand with Roma and Travellers across Europe, honouring their rich cultures and contributions. This day is also a call to action against racism, poverty, exclusion; to invest in equality, and work with communities. Their narratives - reclaimed with pride and anchored in dignity and #equalrights - must be respected. #RomaRights
