We Europeans know that the strength of our neighbours does not represent a threat or a challenge, but rather a guarantee of stability – provided that this happens in the framework of a cooperative and rules-based international order. --speaking today at #UNSC on #Multilateralism
Two years ago, #ParisAgreement on #climatechange entered into force. It was triggered a month earlier by the presentation of EU’s instrument of ratification. Still proud and more committed than ever to #ClimateAction
For two years, it's been my honour and privilege to work with @EUAmbAdamson as my trusted Deputy. Today I bid her a fond farewell as she prepares for her new role as Deputy Special Rep for @UN_MINUSMA in #Mali. We were lucky to have you Jo!
Last night we sent off the wonderful @EUAmbAdamson to Mali. She - with 18 others - graduated from the U.K.-funded senior womens’ talent pipeline, another example of U.K. putting money where its mouth is on UN reform.
“Blue helmets are giving themselves to keep the peace. Their bravery knows no bounds. Their loss; a tragedy. They are heroes. Canada 🇨🇦 is with you. Our condolences” @UN_MINUSMA@CanadaUN@Lacroix_UN@EUAmbAdamson
Concerned about the #UN's financial situation, #EU calls on all member states to pay fully on time & without condition. We value the role of troop contributors in #peacekeeping & call for a strengthened partnership. #UNReform leads to more efficiency, transparency&accountability
Investing in our partnership with @UN is natural. The #EU & #UN share the same fundamental values & goals. In Europe & across the world, we work for sustainable development, peace & security. Together we fight for education for all, gender equality & human rights. Happy #UNDay!
Meeting today w/members of International Commission of Inquiry for Mali, @EUAmbAdamson reiterated #EU's support to all efforts to advance the implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali
Warm thanks to Mr. O-Gon Kwon President of the Assembly of States Parties of the @IntlCrimCourt for briefing #EU Ambassadors today on challenges the ICC faces. #EU Member States praised the #ICC as a bastion of international law & offered full support for expanding membership.
I join @antonioguterres to strongly condemn & convey our condolences following the killing of an aid worker - Hauwa Mohammed Liman - from the @ICRC in #Nigeria. The @UN calls for the immediate release of the remaining hostages. https://t.co/nMVEKXxpVk
Member State endorsements of the #A4P Declaration have now reached 150!
With the #UNGA meeting on Action for @UNPeacekeeping now behind us, we look to all partners to work together with the @UN Secretariat to implement these important shared commitments. https://t.co/lUw73RrAI9
#EU is proud to have supported #NobelPeacePrize winners Dr. @DenisMukwege and Ms. @NadiaMuradBasee, who have worked tirelessly for victims of sexual violence & to help end rape in war. I'm especially privileged to have hosted Ms. Murad during one of her visits to the @UN
