35 anni fa è stato sancito un impegno storico: i bambini sono stati riconosciuti dalla comunità internazionale come soggetti titolari di diritti. Per citarne alcuni: diritto all’identità, al nome, all’educazione, al gioco, alla partecipazione nei processi decisionali che li riguardano (incluse le procedure giudiziarie). Riprendendo l’azione pionieristica e visionaria di figure come Eglantyne Jebb, il 20 novembre 1989 le Nazioni Unite approvarono la Convenzione sui diritti dell’infanzia e dell’adolescenza, ottenendo la ratifica di 196 Stati su 197. Con una condivisione mai avvenuta nella storia. Da allora il mondo è cambiato a velocità inaspettate e imprevedibili, ma la Convenzione può e deve ancora richiamare i policymakers (a tutti i livelli) ad impegni quantomai attuali. Proprio di questi temi ho avuto l’opportunità di occuparmi quest’estate in una Summer School dell’Università di #Ginevra, città inestricabilmente legata allo sviluppo di queste idee, con decine di professionisti da tutto il mondo. Insieme abbiamo ragionato sull’attuazione dei diritti dell’infanzia oggi, concentrandoci sulle sfide, opportunità e problematiche aperte dall’ambiente digitale. E cimentandoci, quindi, a sviluppare un Protocollo Opzionale alla Convenzione su questo tema 🛜 Geneva Summer Schools - UNIGE Centre interfacultaire en droits de l’enfant (CIDE) - UNIGE

Outgoing Director of International Law, Policy & Humanitarian Diplomacy, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
Today, I conclude my work as the Director of International Law, Policy & Humanitarian Diplomacy of the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC. As I wind down for a long awaited sabbatical, I am deeply grateful: ➡️ for my extraordinary journey with the #RedCross ➡️ for the inspiring companionship of our colleagues ➡️ and for unforgettable moments shared with the men, women and children we serve. In parting, I wish to dedicate a piano inspiration to the memory of those who courageously served our mission and never returned - making the ultimate sacrifice in the name of humanity: “I gave it all...” Thank you, farewell & au revoir!
