Ireland 🇮🇪 welcomes today’s adoption of the #CSW70 Agreed Conclusions by the Commission on the Status of Women.
Ministers from across the world came together to reaffirm their commitment to gender equality and the rights of women and girls, in particular by ensuring their access to justice. ⚖️
Thank you to 🇨🇷 Amb @MaritzaChanV, Liechtenstein 🇱🇮 and Rwanda 🇷🇼 for your leadership.
In 2026, I call on leaders everywhere:
Get serious. Choose people and planet over pain.
A safer world begins by investing more in fighting poverty and less in fighting wars.
Peace must prevail.
#BREAKING
UN Security Council UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTS resolution urging all nations to utilize effectively mechanisms for peaceful settlement of disputes, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, judicial settlement or other peaceful means
All 15 members voted in favor
Countries must be able to meet their obligations — but not at the expense of their people’s rights and future.
On the road to #FfD4, we must unlock the fiscal space countries need to invest in health, education, and infrastructure — and move the SDGs forward.

"Los derechos de las mujeres están bajo ataque. El patriarcado ha vuelto con sed de venganza, frenando el progreso y mutando en formas peligrosas. El antídoto es la acción”.
Defendamos la igualdad, dice @antonioguterres en la #CSW69 https://t.co/AfJQJsF647
I congratulate Member States on the adoption of the Political Declaration at #CSW69 reaffirming their commitment to the rights, equality & empowerment of ALL women & girls. With hard won progress on gender equality at risk, promises made in Beijing 30 years ago must be fulfilled.
Women’s rights are under siege.
Around the world, hard-won gains are being thrown into reverse.
Now is the time for those of us who care about equality for women and girls to stand up and to speak out.
Today the PR of Ethiopia to the UN, H.E Ambassador Tesfaye Yilma Sabo has briefed UN member states,alongside the UN DSG @AminaJMohammed and PR of Italy @ItalyUN_NY, about the upcoming UNFS Summit +4, which will be hosted in Addis Ababa in July 2025 🇪🇹 @SDG2
In the past year, Gaza has become a hell on earth. We have gone too far and as @UN SG says, “lost our moral compass.” As a new year begins, my heart is with the women and children in Gaza.
"Even in the darkest days, I’ve seen hope power change.
I see hope in activists — young and old — raising their voices for progress.
I see hope in the humanitarian heroes overcoming enormous obstacles to support the most vulnerable people." - @antonioguterres
Only 17% of the #GlobalGoals targets are on track.
In a world of unprecedented wealth, knowledge and technologies, the denial of basic needs for so many is outrageous & inexcusable.
We must not let up on our promise to end poverty & protect the planet.
The current global financial architecture fails to deliver for developing countries in general & small islands in particular.
We need action on 3 fronts:
Relieving the burden of debt.
Transforming lending practices.
Improving inclusivity in international financial institutions.
There has been no political will to make the necessary changes for the global financial system to be more sustainable and inclusive.
It is time to turn the tide and create a global financial future that leaves no island nation behind. https://t.co/L4JDZrVdbZ
A Moment of Truth.
On 5 June, @antonioguterres will deliver a special address on the urgent need for #ClimateAction followed by a Q&A with @FemiOke.
Do you have any questions for him? Let us know!
At a time when we see rising hunger, growing poverty & a lack of financing to address the climate crisis, it's shocking to see military expenditure reaching an unprecedented high—$2443 billion in 2023, according to @SIPRIorg.
It's time to stop running towards mutual destruction.
"What @UNWRA does is absolutely essential and irreplaceable."
Really worth watching this full interview.
UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres accepted the report's recommendations. https://t.co/jXYOV6LQLT
