[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

I am heartened that in spite of differences, Govt's found common ground & pledged action for human rights the past 2 days.

We are each other’s best hope– for dialogue, for cooperation, for solutions, for peace.

I urge leaders to act on these commitments & put rights first.

Despite our troubled times #HumanRights must persevere and be the light for the future.

@Isabelle_Durant @UN_Women @UNGeneva @ITCnews @AustriaUN @tichy_e @ZambiaUN @UNPhilippines @UNWOMEN4Youth @wto @CokeHamilton @UN_PGA @UNCTADTrade @DigiDiplomats @DiplomacyEdu There's no one-size-fits-all for the challenge of women at the negotiating table, said Elisabeth Tichy-Fisslberger, Austrian ambassador to @UNGeneva.

"We've made a lot of progress. But there'll be pushback. More equality for one group means you take something away from another."

[UN Trade and Development @UNCTAD]

Influential ambassadors today discussed how more women in negotiations can change the outcome #IWD

"Women are more recent to the field of negotiation. So, we are less orientated to how it was done before, but to how it has to be done now," said our deputy head @Isabelle_Durant
