It is more important than ever that @UNITAMS & UNCT prioritise support for Sudan, including on protection of civilians & implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement.

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.
One of my favourite Bulgarian celebrations today. On 1 March you give everyone these red and white bracelets and wish each other health and long life. You wear them until you’ve seen a stork or a fruit tree in blossom. And then hang the bracelet on a tree. Happy happy memories.
There are four Commonwealth members on the #UNSC. Today 🇬🇧🇮🇳🇰🇪🇻🇨 briefed Commonwealth countries here in NY on activity in the Security Council. A rich and profound discussion reminded me that whatever our differences, the Commonwealth family shares the same values!

A political settlement remains the best means of resolving #Syria's multiple crises.
UK calls for parties to engage constructively with issues of the constitution, and calls for free & fair elections for all Syrians.
I am so proud tonight of the fantastic @UKUN_NewYork 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 @IntlCrimCourt. She will strengthen the ICC, ensuring victims get the justice they deserve. The 🇬🇧 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 @IntlCrimCourt.
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.
