Allen family (mostly) enjoyed the #GlobalMile in Central Park today with (mostly) no complaints about the distance from the smallest two. Loved feeling part of this global FCDO family! Well done everyone in New York and around the world.

I am so proud tonight of the fantastic UK at the UN ๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ณ team and my colleagues at posts around the world for the first round victory of @JudgeKorner in the ICC elections. This has been a team effort and a team victory. Thank you all.
Delighted that @JudgeKorner has been elected as a judge for the Int'l Criminal Court. She will strengthen the ICC, ensuring victims get the justice they deserve. The ๐ฌ๐ง as a #ForceForGood is a staunch advocate of the ICC and international criminal justice. Congratulations, Jo!
Tomorrow is the ICC election.
We are confident that @JudgeKorner's work as an international criminal prosecutor & 30 years of judicial experience, including presiding over 500+ of the most serious & complex criminal trials, will render her a #ForceForGood on the Int'l Criminal Court.
Judge Korner will bring almost 30 years of judicial experience to the ICC. She has fought for the world's most vulnerable populations and she will continue to act as a #ForceForGood and help shape the future of international justice.
