[Ambassador James Larsen 🇦🇺🇺🇳 @AustraliaUN]

For the last month, ��🇺 & 🇨🇷 have led discussions on a #UNGA77 resolution calling for a global moratorium on the death penalty.

We call on all 🇺🇳 Member States to vote yes on this resolution to help bring an end to this brutal and inhumane punishment.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

Russia's resolution is not about fighting neo-Nazi ideologies — it’s about justifying its war of aggression against Ukraine.

This is why today at the UN General Assembly all EU Member States voted No.

25 years ago, China committed, by international treaty, to preserve #HongKong’s high degree of autonomy and respect the principle of 1 country 2 systems until 2047. The EU reiterates its concerns at the removal of fundamental freedoms previously enjoyed by the people of 🇭🇰

[Nabila Massrali @NabilaEUspox]

We follow closely the secret trials of lawyers Xu Zhiyong and Ding Jiaxi, who reportedly have been tortured. The EU calls again on China to uphold international human rights law and its own Criminal Procedure Law which accord defendants the right to a fair trial and due process.

Civil Society Organisations #CSOs play an invaluable role in the UN’s work.

Today, they return to the Third Committee to discuss its work & the recovery from the COVID19 pandemic.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

Yet again, @UN's NGO Committee concluded with many unjustified deferrals, including EU-based NGOs:
🇸🇪Diakonia
🇩🇰ISDN
🇮🇹Non C'è Pace Senza Giustizia – No Peace without Justice
🇳🇱Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation & many others

There have too been many biased & erroneous decisions.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

At the opening of the @UN NGO Committee, the EU calls for an end to deferring applications and for introduction of term limits for committee members, allowing for greater diversity.

The EU🇪🇺 strongly supports this call &continues to ask for a reform of the ill-functioning NGO Committee, which fails to fulfill its mandate. The April 2022 elections are a critical opportunity for States to ensure NGO access to & participation in @UN bodies. #OpenDoorsToNGOs 🚪
