[María Fernanda Espinosa @mfespinosaEC]

On this #InternationalDayOfPeace, and as world leaders gather tomorrow for the #UNGA81 General Debate, we are reminded of the United Nations’ primary mandate: to build and sustain peace.

True peace is never merely the absence of war; it is the presence of human dignity, justice, and institutional mechanisms that prevent conflict before it erupts.

This year’s theme, Invest in Peace, is a call to action. Prevention cannot remain a slogan, it must become our daily operating discipline. Peace is not automatic; it has to be chosen, every day, through a multilateral system grounded in our shared humanity. 🕊️🌐

[Khalilur Rahman @UN_PGA]

Four years left to deliver on the promise of the 2030 Agenda. Four years to get more children into school, more food on tables and more medicines into hospitals.

At the SDG Moment, I called for one thing: delivery. Scale what works, invest where the need is greatest, and ensure that progress reaches those left furthest behind. The time for delivery is now. #FitforFuture

Congratulations to Togo 🇹🇬 on successful adoption of the UNGA Resolution to “Correct the Map”, to better reflect the relative size of the continental landmasses.

🇮🇪 welcomes this initiative to promote a more equitable and accurate cartographic representation of the world’s regions, particularly Africa, for educational, awareness-raising and geographical literacy purposes. (1/2)

[Children and Armed Conflict 📍 #ProveItMatters @childreninwar]

Children should never bear the consequences of decisions made by those who wage war.

This cannot be normalized.
Every grave violation committed against a child is a failure to ensure their safety, well-being, and future cannot be negotiated.

Communiqué du Président de la Commission de l’Union africaine sur l’adoption de la résolution « Correct The Map »

Le Président de la Commission de l’Union africaine, S.E. M. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, se félicite de l’adoption, ce jour, par l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies, de la résolution portée par le Togo au nom du Groupe africain en faveur d’une représentation cartographique plus juste et plus fidèle de l’Afrique et des autres régions du monde.

Le Président de la Commission @ymahmoudali salue tout particulièrement le leadership de la République togolaise et l’engagement du Président du Conseil, S.E. Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, sous l’impulsion duquel le Togo a porté cette initiative au nom de l’Afrique et contribué à mobiliser un large soutien au sein de la communauté internationale. Il félicite également les États membres de l’Union africaine et le Groupe africain à New York pour leur unité et leur mobilisation autour de cette initiative.

L’adoption de cette résolution marque une avancée importante. Conçue au XVIe siècle pour répondre aux besoins de la navigation, la projection de Mercator ne restitue pas fidèlement les superficies relatives des différentes régions du monde et donne une représentation visuelle considérablement réduite de la taille réelle du continent africain.

Au-delà de la cartographie, cette initiative rappelle l’importance de représenter l’Afrique sur la base de réalités objectives et scientifiquement établies. Le Président de la Commission encourage, à cet égard, les institutions internationales, les systèmes éducatifs, les éditeurs et les acteurs du numérique à favoriser progressivement l’utilisation de représentations cartographiques plus fidèles aux superficies réelles.

La Commission de l’Union africaine poursuivra sa collaboration avec le Togo, les États membres et les partenaires concernés afin d’accompagner les efforts de mise en œuvre de cette initiative.

L’Afrique doit être représentée telle qu’elle est : dans ses véritables dimensions et à sa juste place dans le monde.

[African Union @_AfricanUnion]

Congratulations to the delegation of #Togo 🇹🇬 and the Africa Group on the adoption this morning by the #UNGA of resolution A/80/L.104, “Correct the Map.”

First endorsed by the African Union Assembly in February and officially passed at the United Nations today, this @_AfricanUnion initiative marks a historic step toward accurate and equitable global cartographic representation.

For centuries, the Mercator projection distorted global geography, shrinking Africa to the size of Greenland when our continent is actually 14 times larger. Today’s resolution promotes equal-area maps like Equal Earth across classrooms, media, and international institutions ensuring the world map finally reflects Africa’s true scale, weight, and place in the world.

[H.E Moses Vilakati @MosesVilakati]

I wish to take this opportunity to warmly congratulate H.E. Ahunna Eziakonwa,( @ahunnaeziakonwa) on her swearing in as the United Nations (@UN) Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Africa.

This is a significant milestone and a powerful moment for Africa’s voice and representation within the global multilateral system. I commend your leadership, experience and commitment to advancing peace, sustainable development and opportunity across our continent.

I particularly welcome your commitment to deepening collaboration between the United Nations and the African Union and advancing Africa’s development agenda at the global level.

May your tenure be impactful, transformative and firmly anchored in advancing the interests and aspirations of Africa and its people.
