Start doing your jobs!

Flagrant violation of the independence of the ICC & one more instance of undermining what is left of the rule of international law. Justice cannot work by selectively accepting the decisions that suit major powers & rejecting those they do not like

We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid.

The people of Cambodia and Thailand, Southeast Asia and the world at large do not need another deadly conflict. The UN and ASEAN have to take immediate steps to bring the confrontation to an end and assist the two countries to find a peaceful solution.

📲In yet another move towards authoritarianism, the US is screening its prospective students' social media profiles to spot signs of political dissidence.

🚨This alarming decision spells trouble for freedom of speech in the USA.

#UN faces a deepening funding crisis. Peacekeeping, UNICEF, WFP & WHO are at risk as the US slashes support & 40+ countries fall behind on dues. With global powers ignoring the rules, we edge closer to a breakdown of multilateralism & generalised conflict

🔥 The sweltering heat baking the European continent has claimed 9 lives just this week. Meanwhile, the EU 🇪🇺 is continuing to fall short on its promises of effective climate action.

Is this the climate leadership we desperately need?

Brute force and vengeance do not bring peace, rather alienate more of the oppressed/attacked people turning them to extremes. When will both and all sides realize that?

We support @TheElders in their call to uphold the rule of law and caution against unilateral or retaliatory military actions. Force must not be allowed to replace diplomacy. All parties must act with restraint and responsibility.

ELDERS’ STATEMENT | US and Israeli strikes on Iran have intensified global nuclear proliferation risks

These strikes have undermined nuclear diplomacy and risk fuelling a new wave of proliferation of nuclear weapons in the Middle East and globally.

May the cease fire lead to a just and lasting peace with a commitment by all parties to renounce future wars.

And may this peace extend to Gaza accompanied by urgent humanitarian action.

World leaders - stand together against this war and all wars.

Diplomacy is hard, dialogue with your adversaries is hard, peace making is hard.

But that’s why you were elected — to do the hard thing. The right thing.

Do your duty!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.

There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world.

I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law.

At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos.

There is no military solution. 
The only path forward is diplomacy. 
The only hope is peace.
