#Palestine: All States and int'l organizations, incl. the @UN, have obligations under international law to bring to an end Israel’s unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, says the UN Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the #opt.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

Universities are dictating where Jewish students pray, and punishing those who practice Judaism beyond school administrators’ narrow view.

This has everything to do with silencing anyone who speaks out for Palestinian freedom, and nothing to do with protecting Jews.

[USCPR #StopArmingIsrael @USCPR_]

After 375 days of Israel’s non-stop slaughter using US weapons, the Biden Administration waited until 21 days before Election Day to consider holding Israel accountable.

Gaza can’t wait another day. Stop the bombs now.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

I welcome @IMFNews' approval for its Members to rechannel their Special Drawing Rights to multilateral development banks.

This will unlock much-needed finance to advance the #SDGs and bolster efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

#Gaza: "There are calls for the agency to be dismantled, but the agency also has been targetted over the last 7 months. Since the beginning of the war, 182 of our staff have been killed & more than 160 premises have been damaged or totally destroyed."

- @UNRWA Chief @UNLazzarini

[UN Peacekeeping @UNPeacekeeping]

Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the landmark resolution on #WomenPeaceSecurity. Progress has been made but women's rights, voices & safety are under threat. @UN Peacekeeping will continue supporting them in all its missions. #PKDay

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today, the @UN family observed a moment of silence to mourn & honour our colleagues killed in Gaza.

Since the start of this conflict, more than 100 @UNRWA staff have lost their lives - the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in such a short time.

They will never be forgotten.

Last year's sustainable development results under the UN's regional cooperation framework for the #Caribbean showed the UN system on-the-ground had a coordinated response to rescuing the #GlobalGoals, said @RobertoValentUN.

"Having a transformative impact is the name of our game. Do not settle for anything less. Do not settle for the status quo."
