The 🇪🇺EU has set its priorities for the next 🇺🇳UN General Assembly — from promoting effective multilateralism and defending the UN Charter, to advancing sustainable development and protecting human rights — this is Europe's agenda for #UNGA81. www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/eu-prio...

A milestone in the race for the next UN Secretary-General The 🇺🇳UN Town Hall brought together UN Members, civil society representatives and UN staff to hear directly from the six candidates. Read up on the candidates and top issues.

Cooperation over confrontation. Because the biggest challenges are shared - the solutions should be too. That's the whole point.

🏆Sunday's finale: One team. 🇪🇸 One Europe. ¡Vamos España y buena suerte! ⚽ 🇪🇺

For many governments, today the question is whether a partnership with Russia is still a strategic and future-proof choice. A relationship built on instability, broken commitments, and shrinking influence looks increasingly less like a strategic asset and more like a strategic liability.

Geneva's Digital Week kicked off today, with plenty to discuss on AI governance and digital transformation. How do you see the future of AI? We asked our four EU fellows Manal, Jomana, Pamela and Anusha who are currently attending the UN Geneva Graduate Study Program. #AIDialogue

We condemn deliberate targeting by Russia of 🇺🇦 civilians & infrastructure and executions of prisoners of war by the Russian armed forces. The 🇺🇳 Commission of Inquiry showed that the gravity of violations increased, incl war crimes & crimes against humanity committed by Russia.

Urgent Debate today at #HRC62 on the human rights situation in El Obeid, Sudan. High Commissioner Turk & the UN Security Council have warned of an imminent risk of mass atrocities. A clear message from the EU: The atrocities of El Fasher must not be repeated. The moment for prevention is now.

“My case has been marred by delays, impunity and revictimisation by authorities.” Amy has spent more than a decade seeking justice after being raped in Colombia. 13 years later, her legal case continues. The EU supports survivors of torture and efforts to challenge impunity.

Leadership is not a woman's job. It is everyone's job. Today at UN Geneva we inaugurated a photo exhibition, which celebrates women driving change: leading countries, societies or communities, they challenged gender stereotypes and overcame barriers.

81 years ago, 50 nations came together to sign the 🇺🇳UN Charter, which outlined a path towards a more peaceful & just world. The 🇪🇺EU was founded on the same ideals. Today & every day, we remain committed to multilateralism & a UN that delivers on the Charter's mandate. #CharterDay

Human rights are not abstract –they are with us everywhere, every day. Inspiring discussion between our 🇪🇺content creators & Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Awa Dabo on why human rights matter to everyone. She even left with a football carrying messages of young people.

In conflict after conflict, one reality remains: women & girls are regularly - sometimes systematically - targeted. Yesterday, we hosted 'Women on the Frontline', an evening of artistic expression, showcasing works by women from conflict-affected regions. 🙏 to partners: Legal Action Worldwide & 🇳🇴

Every number is a life. Behind every figure is a person forced to flee conflict, violence or persecution. 💙 On #WorldRefugeeDay today we renew our commitment to protect, support and stand in solidarity with those forced to flee. Being a refugee is not a choice. @EUinEmergencies

Happy Birthday, 🇺🇳Human Rights Council! On 19 June 2006, the HRC held its 1st session in Geneva. Over the past 20 yrs, it has grown into the world’s leading human rights body - with one goal: advancing human rights for everyone, everywhere. The 🇪🇺EU will always speak up for that!

The next 🇺🇳SG must defend the UN Charter, international law & all three UN pillars. Amb. @stavroslamb.bsky.social asked next SG candidate María Fernanda Espinosa how protecting human rights advances peace, security & sustainable development; and how she would safeguard human rights funding.

This has to end. 65 countries still criminalise consensual same-sex relations. Words are not enough. In 2024, the EU supported 10,500 human rights defenders worldwide. 21% were LGBTIQ+. Reliable. And that's the whole point. Read more: link.europa.eu/BjHcb3

The deliberate targeting of civilians through siege & drone warfare, and deliberate targeting of critical civilian infrastructure in Sudan must stop immediately. We call on all parties to resume negotiations towards an immediate ceasefire. 🇪🇺 at #HRC62 🔗 www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

The 62nd session of UN Human Rights Council kicked off in Geneva.

Here’s an outlook on our 🇪🇺priorities for this session #HRC62 🔗⤵️ www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

Enough is enough. Time for a ceasefire now. This week all UN Security Council members—except one—were united in calling for a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire. As did Ukraine. Russia remains the only obstacle to peace. We urge it to abide by UNSC members' call. Now.

A pleasure to host students from Northeastern University in Boston yesterday✨ Thank you for the lively exchange & thoughtful questions on the EU's work in Geneva and the role of multilateral diplomacy.
