A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to @RCKKenya our long standing partner , for being awarded the Civil Society Organization of the Year 2024! RCK has been an unwavering champion for the rights of refugees,working tirelessly to ensure they are treated with dignity & respect.
Today I joined H.E Sima Sami Bahous, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of @UN_Women, Amb. Paula Narvaez (Chile), Amb. Michael Gort (@CanadaUN), H.E. Amb. Alicia Buenrostro (Mexico) @MexOnu, and H.E. Amb. Leila C. Lora-Santos (the Philippines) @PHMissionNY, and other colleagues in celebrating the International Day of Care and Support.
The theme of this year’s celebration is transforming care systems for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.
I shared Kenya’s experiences during development of the draft National Care Policy including the importance of having an enabling constitutional framework, credible data on the state of care and support, and the need to recognize the care and support sector as a public good worthy of investment by Governments.
I thanked @unwomenkenya@OHCHRKENYA@ILOKenya and other partners for working closely with the Kenya State Department for Youth and Gender Affairs, and the President @WilliamsRuto’s Women’s Rights Advisor @ChiggaiCS to develop the draft policy.
It is every Ambassador’s joy to host one’s countrymen and women in one’s country of accreditation.
This week has been my week with @UN Resident Coordinators.
Coming hot on the heels of my day out with Dr. Stephen Jackson, the UNRC in @UNinKENYA, today I hosted 3 UNRCs- Amb. @JeanKamau, the UNRC in @UNGuyana, Mr. George Wachira @WachiraGeorgeW, the UNRC in @UNEswatini and Mr. Chris Mburu @ChrisMburu, the UNRC @UN_Congo at the @KenyaMissionUN.
RC Amb. Kamau was, until recently, a colleague in the @ForeignOfficeKE. She served with distinction as Kenya’s Ambassador to South Africa and the African Union. In the early 2000s, Amb. Kamau and I worked together in the governance and human rights sector in Kenya.
RC Wachira left an indelible mark @UNDP through his peace and development work, including at the Partnership for Peace that spearheaded mediation efforts following the post-election disturbances in Kenya in 2007/8.
Apart from leading the UN Country Team in the Congo, RC Mburu is an international human rights lawyer with a passion to promote learning and teaching of the French language in Africa.
Over and above our shared Kenyan heritage and professional pasts, we all share a determination to make this world a better place through a stronger and reformed United Nations, of which the UNRC system is an important component.
181 Member States voted for KENYA 🇰🇪 today at the @UN General Assembly to join the Human Rights Council for the 2025-2027 term.
This overwhelming vote is evidence of the global community’s confidence in Kenya’s track record in promoting human rights and our ability to do more, as a country and as part of the global community, in areas where more needs to be done.
Casting the vote at the General Assembly this morning.
The Speaker @CNakuleu led the Assembly in offering condolences to the family of Hon. Rebecca Epae following the demise of her son. In his address, he encouraged the family to trust in God's will, especially in situations beyond human control.
