I have just arrived in Port-au-Prince on a solidarity visit with the people of Haiti.

The humanitarian situation here is desperate, but there are faint glimmers of hope.

My message to the international community:

Stop looking away.

We must stand with Haiti.

Dear @WilliamsRuto, Europe sees Kenya as a leader in addressing global challenges.

And above all, as a reliable partner.

Two years ago, our 🇪🇺🇰🇪 Economic Partnership Agreement entered into force.

Our trade has already significantly increased.

Now we want to go further.

Boost investment with Global Gateway to create jobs and support Kenya’s rise up the value chain.

Support better connectivity and the clean and digital transition.

Did you know that the International Labour Conference is the world’s largest annual gatherings dedicated to the world of work?

Every year, workers, employers and governments from 187 ILO Member States come together in Geneva to discuss the future of labour rights and advance social justice.

As the 114th Session of the International Labour Conference opens today, the world of work is facing deep challenges: growing inequality, rapid technological change, democratic shifts, conflict, uncertainty and disruption.

Across the world, trade unions stand on the front line to defend rights, protect workers, support their members and keep democracy alive in the workplace and beyond.

A new United Nations 🇺🇳Secretary General will ​be elected later this year for a five-year term starting on January 1, 2027.

There are currently 4⃣ declared candidates. Next week the SG race reaches a pivotal moment with the kick off of two days of "interactive dialogues" with the candidates at UNHQ in New York.

Here is how it will work⬇️

The President of the General Assembly, Annalena Baerbock, will convene the interactive dialogues.

Each of the four current candidates will have 3 hours to take questions from civil society and UN Member States who request to address each candidate(s). This will take place in the Trusteeship Council Chamber.

Each candidate will have 10 minutes for an opening statement to lay out their vision for the UN followed by the Q&A portion.

The President of the General Assembly has suggested the discussion be focused on the three pillars of the UN - peace and security, development, and human rights.

⬇️Here are the time slots for each candidate⬇️

⚠️Tuesday April 21

10am - 1 pm - Michelle Bachelet - Chilean, and two term former President of Chile, former head of UN Women and previously High Commissioner for Human Rights. Nominated by: Chile, Brazil, Mexico. (Chile later withdrew nomination)

3 pm - 6 pm - Rafael Grossi - Argentine and currently Director General of IAEA. Nominated by: Argentina

⚠️Wednesday April 22

10am - 1 pm - Rebeca Grynspan - Costa Rican and Secretary General of UN Trade and Development (she recently took a leave to run for SG) and former Vice President of Costa Rica. Nominated by: Costa Rica.

3 pm - 6 pm - Macky Sall - Senegalese and former President of his country. Nominated by: Burundi

After each candidate have completed their interactive dialogue they will be given an opportunity to take make remarks and take questions from the media at the UN GA media stakeout area.

The dialogues will be broadcast live on UNTV https://t.co/NKq7yOd8oc

All dialogues will have live interpretation in all six UN official languages

Regional rotation? While it is not written in the UN Charter, rotating the UN Secretary General by region has become an important informal rule and powerful diplomatic precedent that ensures different parts of the world take turns leading the organization. It is currently the turn for the Latin America and Caribbean group; hence why three of the four candidates are from Latin America.

A woman? Since the founding of the UN in 1946 there have been nine Secretary General's. None have been women. There is a big push for a woman this time around. "It's time," is the public and private thinking by many diplomats / UN staff who walk the halls.

Could more candidates run? Short answer is, yes. While the President of the General Assembly has set an informal deadline of April for candidates to be nominated, nothing prevents a "late entry" into the race.
