Member States are gregarious.

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

Overheard at the #UnitedNations : We cannot agree to the recommendation to discuss this proposal, as this proposal requires further discussion.

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

Real diplomats know the difference between "domain" and "environment", and they will NOT agree to that consensus report unless Paragraph 13b(iii) is amended as such.

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

Never underestimate the ability of UN member states to congratulate themselves on "making progress" by agreeing to the same inadequate process that has been agreed countless times before, just in a different conference room.

@FortiD @RichardGowan1 I think a non-lunch is that thing where there's a full spread & everyone gets a plate and sits down but no one eats bc the meeting started & now everyone feels too awkward to eat.

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

The media won't report this, but so many people are suffering due to lack of in-person #UNGA meetings. This is heartbreaking.

Incredibly moving photo of a "UN expert" mourning the lack of in-person meetings at #UNGA , captured by @lemasurierjess on steps of @UN this afternoon.

How do you know it's #UNGA? By 8am every Le Pain Quotidien within a mile of UNHQ is full of people in suits, plotting.

The traditional multilateral day cocktail is made as follows:

* Choose a drink of your choice;
* Water it down to the point that it's tasteless;
* Ask the P5 if you can drink it;
* Discard.

The stupidity is real.

[Mark Leon Goldberg @MarkLGoldberg]

Germany drafted a resolution, building on previous resolutions, about sexual violence in conflict. The resolution is pretty standard and references the need to provide rape victims with "sexual and reproductive health care."

The Trump admin sees this as code for "abortion"

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

One of my favorite things about Member States is that they complain about the UN silos & bureaucracy, & then they go adopt 2 slightly different resolutions to establish 2 slightly different groups to talk about the same issues. #FirstCommittee

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

@sarahWPS @SCRtweets So glad to see that the UNSC is finally taking up this important issue. The role of the open debate NEEDS to be strengthened. How will we solve global problems if we are not committed to sitting in a semi-circle, reading prepared statements for 8+hours at least twice a month?

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

They even gave us UN baadges and everything.

(sorry.)

The #PalaisDesNations has some new visitors: sheep! This initiative is part of the many climate neutrality actions taken by @UNGeneva, as the grazing sheep reduce the need to use artificial fertilizer and lawnmowers.

@HayesBrown i guess we know who's invited to her going away party.

Trump just called a Kurdish reporter "Mr. Kurd."

[eweNitedNations @eweNitedNations]

Haven't been able to follow the #UNSC meeting today. Has Trump mentioned his button yet?

"In America we reject the ideology of globalism and embrace the doctrine of white nationalism." - 1st draft of Trump's #UNGA speech.
