Led by #Estonia, high-level UN roundtable focused on the need to strengthen multilateralism & reform the UN to tackle 21st-century challenges. Small states like #Estonia rely on the rule of law, not the law of the strongest. Together, we must uphold the #UN Charter. #UNGA79

Great discussion today with @un_pga & fellow members of the Advisory Board on Gender Equality on obstacles posed by #TFGBV on women’s economic empowerment. Technology should facilitate women’s economic independence, not hinder it.

Estonia together with other Nordic-Baltic states voted in favour of the #ESS #UNGA resolution today. We need immediate ceasefire in Gaza, unconditional release of hostages and access to humanitarian aid. UNRWA remains essential for providing support to the civilian population.
