Delighted to meet COP29 President Designate Mukhtar Babayev and Green Climate Fund Executive Director Mafalda Duarte .

Good discussion of ambitious outcomes at COP29 to keep 1.5C alive and accelerate access to climate finance.

We are proud to support Ukraine in the fight to defend their sovereign territory, and the UN Charter.
 
As David Cameron has said, if we do not stand up to Putin now, he will be back for more.

With some help from Shakespeare’s Globe, Ambassador
Ambassador Barbara Woodward celebrates Shakespeare's birthday today.

He was born over 400 years ago, but his work still resonates and inspires at the United Nations.👇 #EnglishLanguageDay

#EarthDay reminds us we cannot seek a fairer, more prosperous world without caring for our planet.

We can do more to protect our oceans and rivers. That’s why the UK is banning the supply & sale of wet wipes containing plastic, reducing our single-use plastic consumption.

Art can challenge and shape society – so it's no surprise that the United Nations is full of art gifted from all over the world.

On #WorldArtDay , The Hepworth Wakefield reveals more about Barbara Hepworth's Single Form, a striking sculpture that stands in front of the iconic building in NYC.

Today at the United Nations, we remember the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda 30 years ago.

For survivor Claver Irakoze, life is 'a collection of memories, some good, some bad...life after genocide takes courage”

Let us honour these testimonies and work for a more peaceful world.

Delighted to meet inspiring UN GA President fellows 🇩🇴🇰🇮🇱🇦🇲🇼🇸🇸🇿🇼

We discussed UK & @UN shared priorities such as sustainable development, reducing poverty, empowering young people — and how @UN can adapt to serve future generations. Based on their energy & courage, we are in good hands.

We welcome the appointment of Julie Bishop as the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General on Myanmar.

People in Rakhine State, and across Myanmar, face a terrible situation. Together with ASEAN, we will work at United Nations Security Council for a peaceful, inclusive Myanmar.

The United Nations Panel of Experts on DPRK impartially investigated and exposed DPRK’s dangerous nuclear and missile programmes.

Russia just vetoed the Panel’s mandate renewal.

Because Russia wants to hide that it’s buying weapons from DPRK to attack Ukraine in violation of UN sanctions.

Thank you Martin Griffiths for your leadership of UN Humanitarian for the last three years.
 
Your determination to deliver impact on the ground has made a difference to millions of people in the most desperate crises around the world, from Ukraine, to Gaza, Myanmar to Sudan and beyond.

Honoured to give the Edmund lecture St Eds Cathedral.

The freedoms and protections enshrined in United Nations Charter can be traced to the Magna Carta 730 years before.

Both still powerfully relevant in our uncertain world, and in those defining moments where 'hope and history rhyme'.

The UK screened Oscar winners The Zone of Interest and 20DaysInMariupol at United Nations.

Their success at last night’s awards remind us, however difficult, not to turn away from the world's atrocities.

For truth and justice to prevail, we must bear witness.

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and half of its potential.  
 
This week, David Cameron announced our commitment to advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights globally.
 
As we mark #IWD2024 we continue to champion access and empowerment for all.

Putin invaded Ukraine two years ago in flagrant breach of the UN Charter.

Since then we've had two years of Russian excuses, lies and disinformation - all desperate nonsense.

We salute Ukraine's defence of its sovereignty. We will stand with them for as long as it takes.

Nothing matters more to UN Member States than having our borders treated as inviolable.

“That’s why nothing should matter more to us than seeing Putin fail.”

'We must not falter. We must stand firm.'

🇬🇧🇺🇳 David Cameron in the Security Council.

Freedom on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom 📽️ tells the stories of ordinary Ukrainians under two years of Russian attack.

Pleased to host UN Ambassadors to watch this brilliant story of human courage and resolve.

The Ukrainian people are not giving up. Nor are we.

🇬🇧🇺🇦

Alexei Navalny sacrificed his freedom to fight for that of the Russian people.

For this, Putin's Russia poisoned him and sent him to the Arctic. His death is a tragedy.

Alexei Navalny knew what he was risking but he stood up to Putin anyway.

We owe it to him to do the same.

I've been in Colombia where the UN Security Council has seen firsthand how 🇨🇴 is building sustainable peace.

I met President Gustavo Petro to reiterate UK support for broad peace through dialogue.

Colombia's road towards peace is an inspiration for us all.

Misión de la ONU en Colombia

On the Security Council visit to Colombia Ambassador Barbara Woodward met President Gustavo Petro and chaired a discussion with the High Commission of Peace.

🇬🇧We support full implementation of the peace agreement and call for security guarantees for former combatants to ensure reintegration.

.INTERPOL is vital to tackling cross-border crime.

🇬🇧INTERPOL Secretary-General candidate Stephen Kavanagh has 30 years of law enforcement experience, including in counter terrorism.

He has a clear vision to put the vulnerable and innocent at the heart of INTERPOL's work.
