Yesterday was my last day working at @UKinCyprus after almost four years.
It’s been a turbulent time to work in this region - but the strength of our partnerships here in #Cyprus never fail to impress me. 🇬🇧🤝🇨🇾

81 years ago, the @UN Charter came into force, with international law at its core.
The UK believes international law must apply equally and fairly to all.
That’s why we back @DapoAkandeLaw for the @CIJ_ICJ: an exceptional, independent lawyer who shares those values.

My statement on the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender ⬇️
ALT STATEMENT ON E1 SETTLEMENT EXPANSION 19 October 2026 The decision by the Israeli Government to open tenders for settlements in E1 is a direct threat to the prospect of a two-state solution and has been widely condemned by the international community. Today is the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender. I want to be very clear with those considering engaging in the tendering process: we have created new powers allowing us to sanction individuals and companies involved in the construction of illegal settlements such as E1. We urge businesses and individuals not to proceed with bids for E1 construction tenders. They should be aware of legal and reputational consequences, including the risk of involving themselves in serious breaches of international law. FULL STATEMENT CONTINUES ON GOV.UK
Glorious walk through St James’s Park this morning on my way to work. I love the low light at this time of year! 🍂
Joining ‘United by Pride’ marches in #Nicosia was one of my most cherished memories of living in #Cyprus. Love, kindness and solidarity bridging the divide. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
🌈 This weekend we proudly supported the "United by Pride" march in the @UN buffer zone in Nicosia, organized with the support of our #UNFICYP civilian, @UNPOL, and military peacekeepers. 🕊️
This event was more than a parade, it was a powerful platform for #humanrights, peace, and trust-building between communities. 🤝💜
The #bufferzone is a space for dialogue, and last weekend, it became a space for solidarity. ✊
#LGBTI rights = HUMAN rights 🌍❤️ #A4P #StandUpForHumanRights

A very good and timely conversation with UK Prime Minister @AndyBurnham. Thank you for the support and for your condolences to all those who have lost loved ones because of Russian attacks. I briefed the Prime Minister on such Russian strikes that have continued unabated throughout the day today against various Ukrainian cities – aerial bombs, “shaheds,” ballistic missiles. Air defense is, of course, the first priority.
And, importantly, there should be real decisions to protect lives in Ukraine and to support our joint work in Europe for security. British leadership is always significant, and it matters that the UK will continue to ramp up sanctions pressure on Russia for its escalation. We discussed this and what could truly help diplomacy work. We are preparing the right joint steps and a meeting. Thank you.

This morning along with @ZelenskyyUa I visited Pryluky in Ukraine, the site of a horrific attack by Russia earlier this week.
22 innocent people lost their lives there, including tragically 5 children, as a result of Putin's barbaric war of terror on the Ukrainian people.
My message was clear: we will stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Three years ago, Hamas terrorists carried out the worst attack on Israel in its history, murdering 1,200 innocent people.
I offer my deep condolences to those who lost loved ones. I send my solidarity to the people of Israel on the anniversary of this terrible act.

As Prime Minister @andyburnham said at the @UN General Assembly, the UK is standing up for our values and the rule of law.
This is exemplified by our exceptional candidate for judge to the International Court of Justice @DapoAkandeLaw, who joined the UK delegation for #UNGA81.

At UNGA @AndyBurnham, @EmmanuelMacron, @MarkJCarney and @FaisalbinFarhan brought together countries to discuss practical steps to improve humanitarian access in Gaza, support recovery and stand up for the two-state solution.

The @UN Security Council must be able to act in cases of mass atrocities.
The UK continues to support efforts to ensure the responsible use of the veto, in line with the @UN Charter.
Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband joined France and Mexico in New York, to discuss the importance of the initiative to regulate the use of the veto in the UN Security Council in cases of mass atrocities.
The UK is proud to join and remains committed to responsible use of the veto.
