🇸🇸#SouthSudan’s Tonj region is plagued by persistent conflict between communities. To provide protection and support peacebuilding, #UNMISS peacekeepers patrolled areas in Tonj East and South to assess the security and engage with local leaders. Their presence helped reassure communities in Maboir Yar in the wake of fighting just days prior and provided practical support to address healthcare challenges in Thiet, including cement for repairs to the clinic and other essential items.

Peacekeeping is a proven & cost-effective way to restore stability & hope but it requires political backing and reliable financial support.

#InvestInPeace calls for decisive action to ensure @UN peacekeepers have the resources to carry out their vital mandates.

I thanked Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Nasser Bourita, for Morocco’s exemplary contribution to @UN peacekeeping, especially in the Central African Republic and the DR Congo, as well as for its decisive support for peace efforts and multilateralism within the UN.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We pay tribute to 136 @UN colleagues who lost their lives in the line of duty last year.

They served in some of the most dangerous places, because they knew the world doesn't improve unless someone strives to improve it.

They made our world a better place.

We commit to carrying their work forward.

UN chief @antonioguterres hosted an annual service to honour 136 personnel and peacekeepers who lost their lives in service during 2025, another deadly year for staff and “blue helmets”.

🌊 On today's on #WorldOceansDay, we’re spotlighting a powerful act of collective environmental action. ♻️🌍

In a recent beach clean-up organized with @spot_turtles 🤝, #UNFICYP civilians, military personnel, and @UNPOL officers came together side by side, not just to remove waste, but to send a clear message: protecting our oceans is a shared responsibility. 🧑🤝🧑👮‍♂️

🗑️ From plastic packaging to discarded fishing gear, over 550 kilos of rubbish was removed from Akdeniz/Agia Irene beach. Every piece collected is a step toward healthier seas and stronger communities. 🐠🌊 #A4P
