As the UN reviews a reduced $5.23B peacekeeping budget, the bigger debate is whether Member States are ready to reform the Organization’s financial system. The coming weeks could shape how resilient and sustainable UN operations will be in the future.🌐 #UN #UNBudget #5CT

Ensuring mental health #ForAllWomenAndGirls is a human right and an urgent necessity for building resilient and successful societies. The energy was electric at Hungary’s #CSW69 side event! Let’s break the shame and stigma, and empower women and girls. #Beijing30 #UN_Women

Civil society actors, incl human rights defenders, are crucial to our efforts to uphold human rights and achieve peace & development, yet many face intimidation & reprisals for cooperating with the UN. Today Ireland 🇮🇪 & Uruguay 🇺🇾 on behalf of 79 co-signatories + EU 🇪🇺 stood united in #3C, calling for an end to reprisals. The UN and 🇺🇳 MS must take bold action to address and mitigate any acts of intimidation or reprisals at the UN. See full statement here ➡️ bit.ly/Reprisals3C

❗️"Allowing Western-supplied weapons to strike deep into Russian territory would pose a serious escalation risk," said FM Péter Szijjártó in New York, responding to Ukraine’s recent demand. 🕊️ The minister emphasized that after nearly 1,000 days of war, "this conflict has no solution on the battlefield. Arms deliveries have only led to more casualties and driven peace further away." He warned that "the longer the war continues, the more destruction and loss of life we will see." 🌍 He called Ukraine’s proposal to use Western weapons for deep strikes against Russia "extremely dangerous," stressing that it could spread the war to neighboring countries, including Hungary. "From Hungary’s perspective, and for global security, it would be highly dangerous if Western weapons were used for such strikes." 📜 Minister Szijjártó reiterated that "the only solution is a ceasefire and peace negotiations." He also welcomed that some Western countries have not yet allowed this escalation and hoped that "no one crosses this red line." At the UN, he emphasized that Hungary is part of the global majority pushing for peace talks and the end of the conflict.

🕊️FM Péter Szijjártó: The global majority, the overwhelming global majority wants peace, and the global majority is watching the Hungarian peace mission with great sympathy, interest and appreciation. ❗️"It is high time that the @UN also became active and tried to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table. 🛑"The UN cannot hide here in its comfortable office building in New York, but must take a clear stand for the reopening of diplomatic channels.
