🌍✨ For International Day of Peace, we’re reflecting on the importance of cultivating a culture of peace 🕊️, much like we strive to cultivate a higher quality of life 🏙️🌿 in cities worldwide. Both require dialogue 💬, cooperation 🤝, and mutual understanding 🤗. At the Quality of Life Initiative, we believe that peace starts with respect for life 💖 and community well-being 🌟.

The Difference between "pouvoir" and "pourvoir" "Pouvoir" and "pourvoir" are distinct verbs in French with different meanings: 1. "Pouvoir" (can, to be able to): - "Pouvoir" is a modal verb indicating the ability or permission to do something. - Example: "Je peux parler français" (I can speak French). 2. "Pourvoir" (to provide, supply, or equip): - "Pourvoir" is a verb used when referring to providing or supplying something. - Example: "Il faut pourvoir aux besoins de la famille" (One must provide for the needs of the family). In summary, "pouvoir" is about the ability or permission to do something, while "pourvoir" is about providing or supplying something. Sulaiman M. Babatunde

Every journey can inspire in different ways, whether through new cultures, landscapes, or connections with people. It often sparks creativity, broadens perspectives, and deepens appreciation for the world. What kind of journey inspire you? #classone #globaldmc #türkiye #maldives #japan

On this Peace Day, with the theme of Cultivating a Culture of Peace, I emphasize that the best way to do this is by creating peaceful environments at home, in schools, in our communities and everywhere. Children learn from what they experience, and learning peace values from early age promotes a culture of peace. Happy Peace Day!

Today’s International Day of #Families is an opportunity to raise awareness of important family issues. In the latest #European #Yearbook on Human Rights, Domenico Rosani and I had a closer look at one of them: #surrogacy.   The European Union is currently working on a new Regulation to ensure the recognition of parenthood across Member States. As Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, 'If you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country'. However, whether this should also apply to parents who resorted to surrogacy is still a hotly debated topic.   Our chapter combines human rights perspectives with a private international law analysis to investigate the ongoing legislative debate. Our aim was to address concerns about surrogacy and children's rights (in a way, we hope, accessible also to those unfamiliar with private international law and human rights) – ultimately showing that not all fears are justified.   For those interested, you can check out our findings in the Yearbook 2023, pp. 353–390: https://lnkd.in/e6xeFcXU.   Special thanks to Lisa Heschl and the entire editorial team (Philip Czech, Karin Lukas, Manfred Nowak, Gerd Oberleitner) as well as to Larcier-Intersentia for their invaluable work.   Universiteit Utrecht, Rechtsgeleerdheid Universiteit Utrecht, Utrecht Centre for Regulation and Enforcement in Europe (RENFORCE), Willem Pompe Instituut voor Strafrechtswetenschappen, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Institut für Internationales Recht.
