Glad to see that @UNSSC published a blog post about an initiative that is truly meaningful to me: the @IFAD Youth Network "Fireside Chats with IFAD Leaders" – a space where to convey important values to shape a more inclusive, human scale and innovation-friendly work environment!

[United Nations System Staff College @UNSSC]

In their latest blogpost, Jyotsna Puri (@Jo_Puri) and Gresia Bernardini Marino (@Be_Graes) highlight how a culture of dialogue & empathy power the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)'s "Fireside Chats with IFAD Leaders" Initiative.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States & Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & security.

All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the @UN. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”

I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians & regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table.

I reiterate that there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, in full accordance with international law, including the UN Charter. The Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security.

In this time of crisis and turmoil, the United Nations has never been more needed, @antonioguterres said on Tuesday.

"No matter the challenge. No matter the obstacle. No matter the hour. We must — and we will — overcome.”

Amid the climate crisis, ambitious national #ClimateAction plans are the blueprints for successful economies & societies.

At Wednesday’s Climate Summit, leaders will present some of these new plans.

Let’s seize this moment of opportunity.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

"The United Nations is more than a meeting place.

It is a moral compass.

A lifeline for people in crisis."

- @antonioguterres at #UNGA80

[United Nations @UN]

“Power does not reside in the hands of those who dominate or divide.”

Addressing world leaders at #UNGA, @antonioguterres stressed that true power comes from people’s shared resolve to uphold dignity, defend equality & believe in our common humanity.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

My message to world leaders at #UNGA:

No matter the challenge or the hour, we must - and we will - overcome.

We must never give up.

For peace.

For dignity.

For justice.

For humanity.

For the world we know is possible when we work as one.

I will never, ever give up.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

No country can stop a pandemic alone.

No army can halt rising temperatures.

No algorithm can rebuild broken trust.

Therefore I ask leaders at #UNGA to reaffirm international law & the centrality of multilateralism, reinforce human right & recommit to the principles of the @UN.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We must choose what kind of world we want to build together.

We must choose peace rooted in international law.

We must choose human rights & dignity.

We must choose climate justice.

We must choose to put technology at the service of humanity.

We must choose to strengthen the @UN.

[United Nations @UN]

“Over the last 80 years, the UN has led the way to some of humanity’s greatest triumphs.”

At a time when the principles of the United Nations are under assault as never before, @antonioguterres urges leaders to move forward with clarity, courage and conviction.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

From eradicating smallpox to healing the ozone layer to preventing a third world war, the @UN has led the way to some of humanity’s greatest triumphs.

As we turn 80, the only way forward is together.

Let us realize the promise of peace.

[United Nations @UN]

On Tuesday's #WorldHumanitarianDay, we remember our 22 colleagues who lost their lives when the UN in Baghdad was bombed on 19 August 2003, marking 22 years since the tragedy.

Today & always, we thank the brave humanitarians who risk their lives to make the world a better place.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

😔 Every 10 minutes, a woman or girl is killed by an intimate partner or relative.

This is UNACCEPTABLE.

“Neanche i luoghi che dovrebbero accogliere rifugiati e sfollati interni sono ormai sicuri in #Sudan” @mannocchia

Negli ultimi 2 anni sono state bombardate indiscriminatamente aree densamente popolate, ospedali e campi profughi, come quello di Zamzam

[World Food Programme @WFP]

In #Sudan, thousands of people, like Gida and Ahmed, have been uprooted again by violence.

This is the world’s largest hunger crisis — driven by conflict, not by nature.

WFP is scaling up to reach millions more people with food and nutrition support and turn the tide of famine.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The UN was born out of the ashes of the Second World War.

Eight decades later, you can draw a direct line between the creation of the @UN & the prevention of a third world war.

Eight decades later, the UN remains the essential meeting ground to advance peace & human rights.
