Unwinding with a bike ride after the UN's pressure-packed High-Level Week. And pausing to take in some of Manhattan's iconic buildings — One World Trade Center and, naturally, the United Nations. Bliss!

As it frantically prepares for #UNGA80, the heroic 🇪🇺EU Delegation team @ 🇺🇳UN took a quick time-out for a family photo. Excited to welcome our EU leaders to New York! And proud to be on the frontlines of building global trust & cooperation during trying times, when the world most sorely needs it.

“The EU strongly condemns the ongoing settler violence in the occupied West Bank. Intimidation campaigns, physical and verbal attacks, and the destruction of property are leading to the displacement of Palestinian communities.” www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelp... www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelp...

Israel/Palestine: Statement by the High Representative on the occupied Palestinian territory

Israel’s military operation in Gaza, the disproportionate use of force and the deaths of civilians cannot be tolerated. The continued targeting of civilian infrastructure is unacceptable. We call for ...

The #UN80 reform initiative must be an exercise to make the @UN deliver better and with more impact. 🇪🇺EU fully supports. The EU & its Member States are eager to work closely with 🇺🇳SG @antonioguterres and MS from all regional groups to make #UN80 a success. www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

A big thank you to @UNHumanRights High Commissioner @volker_turk for an insightful discussion with 🇪🇺EU Heads of Mission on global human rights developments. The EU and its member states strongly support the work and mandate of the High Commissioner and #OHCHR.

Back in beautiful Brussels for the annual 🇪🇺EU Ambassadors Conference. Stay tuned ….

🇺🇳 @unops.org is a valued EU implementation partner for projects boosting sustainable development & the #SDGs, especially in fragile situations and people most in need. Pleasure to meet with UNOPS Chief Jorge Moreira da Silva to discuss strengthening this vital cooperation.

It's time to start investing seriously in #peacebuilding. Today's @UNPeacebuilding meeting was a welcome opportunity to interact with distinguished members of the Peacebuilding Fund Advisory Group at the start of a crucial year for peacebuilding. ➡️ www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

We are facing a turning point in history, but by no means a point of no return. If we join forces, we can embrace the opportunities and start healing a fractured world. The 🇪🇺EU will support the 🇺🇳UN SG & collaborate with all partners to rebuild trust and hope. www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

Busy EU weeks preparing for the new 🇺🇳 UN Security Council. 🇪🇺 EU Ambassadors held exchanges with the Perm Reps of 🇵🇰 Pakistan, 🇵🇦 Panama & 🇸🇴 Somalia, to hear their priorities for their 2-year term and to discuss how to strengthen the UN’s work and our collaboration on peace & security.

Super team, super job, super-deserved holiday break (finally!) for Maria & the rest of our 🇪🇺 @EUatUN 5C superstars (Admin&Budget)! They negotiated and built vital compromises, up to the closing hours of Christmas Eve (!), to ensure that the UN would have its budget. 👏💪

From the festive 🇪🇺EU Residence in New York, warmest wishes to all for a wonderful Holidays and New Year, filled with love and peace. 🎄 🥂 🕊️

Total Eclipse of … New York: Wednesday, 11 December, 8am.

A strong message from new @eucopresident.bsky.social Costa and new HRVP @kajakallas.bsky.social during their Kyiv visit: The EU 🇪🇺 remains laser-focused on helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 preserve its sovereignty & territorial integrity and defend the UN Charter 🇺🇳.

Kaja Kallas@kajakallas.bsky.social · 2y ago

It is a privilege to be in Kyiv alongside @eucopresident.bsky.social Costa and Commissioner Kos. In my first visit since taking up office, my message is clear: the European Union wants Ukraine to win this war. We will do whatever it takes for that.

#EU deeply regrets Russia’s veto on a #UNSC resolution protecting civilian lives in Sudan. While Russia vetoed, 🇪🇺EU+MS have raised €900 million to support Sudanese people in a catastrophic situation. Fully back the 🇺🇳UN, AU and others in their mediation efforts. www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

Every step forward in eliminating violence against women & girls is a victory for human rights, as we work together in the 🇪🇺EU & at the 🇺🇳UN to create a future where safety, equality, & dignity are guaranteed for all. Let's keep pushing for a world free from violence. #NoExcuse

We had a special visitor at the office today — Toto, our colleague Tiina’s supremely cute dog! He certainly helped put frenzied UN life into perspective. (The punching bag in background belongs to my office. Wonder why! 🙂)

Russia has failed to wipe Ukraine off the map. One thousand days of heroic resistance has proved them wrong. We stand firm in our commitment and solidarity with Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine ↓

Emissions from power and industry installations have achieved a historic reduction of 16.5%. Currently, ETS emissions are approximately 47.6% below 2005 levels, well on track to meet the 2030 target of a 62% reduction.

On the Middle East debate at the 🇺🇳 UN Security Council today, I reiterated the 🇪🇺 EU’s unwavering commitment to a just, comprehensive & lasting peace, based on the two-state solution. There’s no other way. www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...

19 Nov marks #1000Days since Russia’s unprovoked & illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We call on UN members to continue to stand up for Ukraine’s right to protect its territory & its people in line with the #UNCharter. 🇪🇺EU Ambassador Lambrinidis 👉 www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...
