One year ago, the 🇧🇾regime faked a bomb threat to force a RyanAir jet to land in Minsk. Two passengers remain in regime custody & have yet to reach their final destination. This reckless action still directly impacts Belarusians seeking to connect to EU & other destinations.

Last year, the Lukashenka regime used a fake bomb threat to divert Ryanair Flight 4978 to land in Minsk. Today, we again condemn that reckless flouting of international norms and the continued detention of two of the passengers, who are now among hundreds of political prisoners.

As #WHA75 discusses #HealthforPeace, the United States stands to condemn Russia’s unprovoked, unjustified aggression against Ukraine. Their attacks have destroyed #HealthFacilities, killed and maimed civilians and #HealthWorkers, and disrupted the #GlobalFoodSystem.

Excited to kick off #Pride2022 by raising the 🏳️‍🌈 U.S. Mission Geneva. We are committed to advancing the freedom, dignity, & equality of all, including LGBTQI+ persons, each & every day. Everyone deserves to live safely & freely, empowered to meet their full potential.

Flying our rainbow colors with #PRIDE! Today U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva Crocker raised the flag for #Pride2022 and our team brought out the bunting to celebrate the contributions and integral role of LGBTQI+ persons in every community.

As the proud mother of two amazing humans who identify as LGBTQI+, #PrideMonth has a deeply personal meaning for me. I celebrate diversity & the uniqueness of every individual and stand in solidarity with all who push for equal rights for #LGBTQI+ people globally. #YouAreIncluded

During Pride Month, the United States honors the courage and resilience of LGBTQI+ persons around the world. Democracy is strongest when it is inclusive—respect for the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is key to building and maintaining strong and healthy democracies.

June is #Pride Month! For over 50 years, people around the world have come together to celebrate, promote, and fight for the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons. The Department proudly supports LGBTQI+ persons around the world. #Pride2022 🌈 go.usa.gov/xJbEr

This Pride Month, we celebrate the contributions and diverse experiences of LGBTQI+ persons while acknowledging the discrimination and violence they face around the world. We remain committed to advancing freedom, dignity, and equality for all. state.gov/commemorating-…

The U.S. works every day to promote and protect LGBTQI+ rights around the world, including in the United Nations LGBTI Core Group, where we build coalitions of allies to fight discrimination and abuse. LGBTQI+ persons deserve to live safely & freely, empowered to meet their full potential.

This #Pride2022, we join the world in reaffirming our commitment to the promotion and protection of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of LGBTQI+ persons across the globe. At U.S. Mission to the UN, we're working to advance the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons throughout United Nations resolutions.

We have re-invigorated our participation in the UN LGBTI Core Group, and we look forward to hosting the UN’s independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity in August. usun.usmission.gov/statement-by-a…

We all share a common humanity. LGBTQI+ persons have dreams and ambitions, feel fear and pain, and advocate for a community that supports and values everyone equally. As integral members of society, they have made incalculable contributions throughout history. #Pride

I welcome ICAO's decision to report the DPRK’s pattern of unannounced missile launches to the 41st Assembly, which pose an unnecessary risk & threat to international civil aviation in northeast Asia. ow.ly/swXM50JpEml

The U.S. & partners are engaged via the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) to increase development of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). We are also encouraging @ICAO to set a Long-Term Aspirational Goal, to spur SAF development.

Russia has been dual-registering aircraft in contravention of international law. The PRC's Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) made the right decision to ban them from PRC airspace, upholding the Chicago Convention’s rule of one state of registry.

So glad to see the Flight Safety Foundation honor @ICAO’s response to COVID-19. The U.S. Department of State, The FAA ✈️, and @CDC were major contributors to the effort to resume safe, healthy travel, enabling air shipment of PPE & vaccines, and flights to bring people home.
