As we enter the final days of our tenure as an elected member of the #UNSC, @josesingerw shared a few moments with @antonioguterres on how it has been the greatest honor for him + team DR to represent the Dominican people and values as we strived to serve our (one) humanity. 👇
At the UN ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development @UNECOSOC, @UN_PGA urges states to " move beyond rhetoric" and provide/protect the funding needed for a greener and more equitable recovery that can keep our SDG commitments on track.
At the UN ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development @UNECOSOC, @ABNYOffice PM (@AOSISChair) cites "skyrocketing" levels of debt that are forcing some states to borrow money to service existing loans. Seeks a "bold" documents arising from this Forum to help avoid a "lost decade."
At the UN ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development @UNECOSOC, SG @antonioguterres laments the states which spend more on debt service than on education and social services combined, cites concern regarding the millions of children denied an education under the pandemic cloud.
Hoy culmina el mandato de 2 años de RD en Consejo de Seguridad ONU. Este histórico rol termina con éxito debido al esfuerzo del embajador @josesingerw y su capaz equipo quienes atravesaron aguas turbulentas con aplomo, sin transigir en los valores medulares de la Carta de la ONU.

You have distinguished yourselves over the past two years in many respects and provided a fine example for your successors. Regardless of size, elected members must do what they can to link the Council's work more closely to core UN values and principles. You have done so.
