@Plaid_Iran just a friendly reminder that executing individuals under the age of 18 is illegal under international law (i.e. stop doing it now or you'll have much bigger issues to contend with) :) https://t.co/3YlxzCklIJ
The war in northern @Plaid_Syria continues to rage on... while progress has been made to de-escalate the situation, we fear it will not be enough unless stronger action is taken.
As the fighting in Syria continues, the number of people displaced is rapidly approaching 200,000. The needs of these refugees continue to grow, and humanitarian aid is necessary. https://t.co/ICFzmRe7GG
Even though we have ended the truly massive peacekeeping mission in Haiti, we will continue to support the nation in every way we can on their path to development. https://t.co/7VzSFZ7XFK
Obesity rates continue to climb as world dietary trends shift towards foods higher in sugar, fat, salt, and starch. Over 800 million individuals are obese. This puts them at higher risk or diabetes, Heart disease, and many types of cancer. https://t.co/Gxiu1she3H
Despite our best efforts, UNICEF reports that there are still an alarming number of malnourished children in the world. Just how bad is it? In their most comprehensive report in 20 years, they found that 1 in 3 children don't have enough to eat. https://t.co/GQiqfPiA5O
Due to the shortage of funds we are facing, we have been forced to cut nonessential expenses. These include things such as travel, electrical and water usage, and cutting overtime work. We hope that @Plaid_USA and other nations can get us fund soon. https://t.co/ka4SSNXR0B
The invasion of @Plaid_Syria by @Plaid_Turkey could lead to the release of many IS militants from prisons in the area. While everyone is very concerned about this possibility, it seems very little is being done to prevent it, as many have already escaped. https://t.co/XnvmYRrc0B
Today the General Assembly is meeting in Committees to discuss various important topics, from Disarmament and international security, to climate change, to the protection and promotion of human rights.
@Plaid_Turkey If you insist on invading @Plaid_Syria, we urge you to avoid civilian targets and respect the international human rights law. The people of Syria have already been largely displaced, we do not need more of it. https://t.co/SfMO79WZfs
While the Ebola outbreak in the Congo is certainly winding down, it is far from over. The disease has now been contained, but WHO says there is lots to do in order to kill it entirely. https://t.co/UklRS3Xry7
@Plaid_Donald@Plaid_USA Yes, other countries owe us money too, but the lions share of our debt is because of you. Maybe if you start coughing up some payments, we'll forget about those airstrikes... https://t.co/JI36iWq5Iu
Hey @Plaid_USA@Plaid_Donald those airstrikes you made back in May? Yeeeaaaaah they're illegal. You intentionally attacked civilian targets, and now you have to pay the price. https://t.co/CGYF3QBV2H
new research conducted by WHO has determined that, especially in developing countries, there is still an alarming number of women who are being mistreated during childbirth. https://t.co/fOiNzEUh22
Yes, the rumors are true - we are running low on funds, low enough that we may be out of money by the end of the month. As @Plaid_Guterres said, many states have not paid their dues in full for the 2019 fiscal year. https://t.co/zsUVMBNkkG
An exhibit has been set up in Geneva to honor the 100 year anniversary of international cooperation. The centerpiece of the exhibit is Tolstoy's original manuscript for War and Peace. https://t.co/Dr8X6fRgFi
According to a speech given by the UN Refugee Chief in Geneva this morning, Nationalism posses a major barrier to the end of statelessness. Many Countries are unwilling to accept refugees, due to fears of losing their national identity. https://t.co/CU8cyvXpUq
Today, a special envoy gave a presentation to the SC about the great lakes region of Africa. On top of the Ebola outbreak, this area is facing many challenges that harm the well being of the people. https://t.co/SUQIvefB3Z
