Australia, @NZUN & @CanadaUN believe the #UNSC has an important role to play in managing the risks posed by malicious #cyber activities to international peace & security.

Thanks to @ROK_Mission for convening an open debate on this critical topic during its presidency of the #SC.

[NZ at the UN @NZUN]

The Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, C34, is crucial in shaping @UNPeacekeeping's future direction.

Today #CANZ committed to concrete, consensus-based recommendations that ensure peacekeeping efforts are more effective, inclusive & accountable.

NEW: @USUN circulates draft resolution on #Gaza/#Israel to council members. Notably does not include call for ceasefire, cessation of hostilities, or even humaniatarian pauses. Focuses instead on Israel's inherent right to self defense, condemnation of Hamas, call for hostage release, and deciding #Iran "must cease the export of all arms and related materiel to armed militias and terrorist groups threatening peace & security across the region, including #Hamas." @Iran_UN

There is also language on need to respect/protect schools, hospitals, & places of worship. Draft urges provision of essential goods to Gaza and expresses appreciation for #Qatar and others regarding hostage release. @QatarAtUN

US requested comments be provided by 10 am tomorrow Oct. 22 (NY Time).

Today, the world faces the highest number of conflicts since World War II. The number of people in need of protection has risen by 42% between 2021 and 2023 according to @CivCenter. We need #peace more than ever but @UN Peacekeeping cannot achieve it alone.

Climate change, economic shocks, and conflict are drivers of food insecurity around the world, with women & girls often disproportionately affected. Destroying civilian infrastructure and food production facilities is a war crime. Humanity must be placed above politics. 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇳🇿

[Ally Tang @allytangnz]

Navyn Salem, CEO and Founder of @EdesiaNutrition, provides a powerful address in the #UNSC, pointing to climate change and conflict as the two main contributors to famine and food insecurity. She reminds us that we must stop conflicts in order to prevent malnutrition and hunger.

[David Clay @dave_clay]

All of this is taken from the final chapter of Sir Peter’s book “Positive Diplomacy” (1997) which of course goes into all of these points in more detail and with more nuance.
