Today, we proudly launch the Digital Handbook on the role of the #UNGA in matters of international peace and security.

[UN University Centre for Policy Research @UNUCPR]

With greater geopolitical divisions and a frozen #SecurityCouncil, what can the #GeneralAssembly do on peace and security issues?

A bill that seeks to repeal the 2015 ban on FGM/C in The Gambia has been rejected. If passed, this would have been the first time a ban on FGM/C has been reversed.

3 pieces of advice great mentors have taught me about being a young(ish) woman in this field:
1. Get yourself in the room.
2. Once there, shatter expectations. Every. Time.
3. Turn your critics into sources.
4. Dress like you might meet the president. Because you might.
