From day one, the UN has represented the conscience of the world.

We will never lose sight of hope.

Sticking to principles. Speaking the truth. Never giving up.

“Allowing hate speech & harmful content online has real world consequences.

Regulating such content is not censorship.”

– @UNHumanRights Chief @volker_turk calls for accountability & governance in the digital space.

[United Nations @UN]

“Everyone should be able to express themselves freely without fear of attack.

Everyone should be able to access a range of views and information sources.”

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The spread of hatred and lies online is causing grave harm to our world.

Today I presented a starting point for solutions: the @UN Global Principles for Information Integrity - based on an overriding vision of a more humane information ecosystem.

[United Nations @UN]

For first time ever, @antonioguterres invokes Article 99 of UN Charter, urging Security Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Appealing for humanitarian ceasefire, he says civilian population must be spared from further harm. https://t.co/vOFMPASWkQ

[United Nations @UN]

UN flags are lowered to half-mast at Headquarters and offices around the world on Monday to mourn and honour our colleagues who have been killed in Gaza in recent weeks.

Civilians and humanitarians are #NotATarget.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Our colleague Mai was killed in #Gaza yesterday

Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, Mai lost the ability to walk aged 12. She never allowed health challenges to deter her achievements & scored 98% in tawjihi examination then became a Front-end web Developer

May she rest in power

[United Nations @UN]

“It is impossible to be here & not to feel a broken heart.”

At Rafah crossing, @antonioguterres appeals once again for aid trucks to be allowed into Gaza as soon as possible.

"These trucks are the difference between life and death for so many people."

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East to ease the epic human suffering.

Too many lives - and the fate of the entire region - hang in the balance.

[United Nations @UN]

Schools are #NotATarget.

Hospitals are #NotATarget.

Children are #NotATarget.

Civilians are #NotATarget.

Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

We're living in the worst of times.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Dehumanizing language that incites violence is never acceptable.

I call on all leaders to speak out against Antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry and hate speech of all kinds.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Our planet has just endured the hottest summer on record.

Climate breakdown has begun.

We can still avoid the worst of climate chaos. We don’t have a moment to lose.

[United Nations @UN]

How can countries, tech companies & communities address the proliferation of lies and hate online?

The UN is developing a voluntary Code of Conduct to help address this challenge - and we want to hear from you.

@UNinWashington @MelissaFleming @StateDept @AMusotsi @jkshufro @mohanmsm03 Was a pleasure to visit!

[UN in Washington @UNinWashington]

Our team is always happy to see the UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications and our New York-based comms colleagues here in Washington, DC. @MelissaFleming was in town today for meetings with @StateDept.

[United Nations @UN]

The proliferation of hate & lies in the digital space is causing grave global harm.

This clear & present global threat demands clear & coordinated global action.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

At our @UN Headquarters in New York, we can feel the deteriorating air quality as smoke from the wildfires in Canada moves south.

With global temperatures on the rise, the need to urgently reduce wildfire risk is critical.

We must make peace with nature. We cannot give up.

[Melissa Fleming 🇺🇳 @MelissaFleming]

Enriching convening of our communication leaders from around the @UN system to focus on how to elevate facts, solutions and hope in information ecosystems polluted by mis- & disinformation.
