Linda Thomas-Greenfield
The Diplomat
People, composure and the difficult conversation held well.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield is a seasoned diplomat with a focus on international relations and humanitarian issues. This interview highlights her commitment to fostering collaboration and understanding among diverse stakeholders on critical global challenges.
“We have substantial work to do to ensure that all States that want to act responsibly in cyberspace have both the policy knowledge and the technical capacity to do so. As we do this work, we also need to continue to protect Internet freedom.”
“They are taught to commit war crimes before they even know how to count. To choose just one example, earlier this month, in the village of Solhan in the Sahel region, a non-State armed group killed more than 130 civilians – many of whom were children. That armed group? Mostly 12- to 14-year-olds.”
“Madiba once said, and I quote, “there can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” Today the world’s soul is at stake. Let us avert our eyes no longer. Let us protect our children. Let us treat them right. And let’s right this wrong, now.”
“And I stress also that our commitment to Afghanistan’s safety and security endures. We will use our full diplomatic, economic and assistance toolkit to support the peaceful, stable future the Afghan people want and deserve. And we will continue to support the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in securing their country.”
