A room buzzing with ideas and great conversation last night at the welcome cocktail that Amb. @margiodi hosted to meet with Italian #journalists and #correspondents in #NYto the @UN, in the presence of Italian senior officials at the #UnitedNations.
The 🇮🇹 PR highlighted media's crucial role in reporting amid growing information threats and increasing risks faced by journalists.
Also through @UN_HRC 26-28 mandate, participation to @MediaFreedomC and @FO_Coalition, Italy supports multilateral efforts to promote free, independent, and safe journalism, with a strong commitment to protecting all those who safeguard the public’s right to information.
Thanks @Delta for loosing track of my luggages who have been left behind in MXP. And the answer of the associate is: we don’t know where they are and why are not on the flight to JFK right now. What an awful service

Today #Italy with @HolySeeUN, @ParaguayONU, @TC_BMDT, and the @UNSRVAW hosted a very insightful discussion on the margins of @UN_CSW to reflect and raise awareness on the risks of violence and exploitation in the context of #surrogacy, particularly for #women in #vulnerable situations.
In her video message, IT Minister @Famiglia_Gov, Ms. Eugenia #Roccella, highlighted that IT legislation prohibits and criminalizes #surrogacy. “Women are not instruments, children are not commodities, and human dignity is never negotiable.”
IT PR Amb. @margiodi stressed the key contribution from continued dialogue among States, international organizations, experts and civil society to better address the risks of exploitation and strengthen the protection of women and children.
Thank you @vrobecco for being an outstanding MC.

Let me assure you that I will make every day of 2026 count.

The UN Charter is not optional—it is our guiding framework, in moments of calm and in times of crisis, like in Venezuela today, culiminating with the United States military action.
Article 2 of the UN Charter clearly stipulates that all Members of the United Nations shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
Respect of the UN Charter and international law is the foundation of the international order.
A peaceful, safe and just world for everyone is only possible if the rule of law prevails instead of might makes right. And if human rights including those of the Venezuelan people prevail over human rights violations.

.@antonioguterres deeply alarmed by escalation in Venezuela, culminating with US military action today.
He’s concerned that international law hasn't been respected.
He calls on all actors in Venezuela to engage in inclusive dialogue, in respect of human rights & rule of law.

I welcome the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire & hostage release in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by @POTUS. I commend the diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, Egypt & Türkiye in brokering this desperately needed breakthrough.
I urge all concerned to abide fully by the terms of the agreement. All hostages must be released in a dignified manner. A permanent ceasefire must be secured. The fighting must stop once & for all. Immediate & unimpeded entry of humanitarian supplies & essential commercial materials into Gaza must be ensured. The suffering must end.
The @UN will support the full implementation of the agreement & will scale up the delivery of sustained & principled humanitarian relief, and we will advance recovery & reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
I urge all stakeholders to seize this momentous opportunity to establish a credible political path forward towards ending the occupation, recognizing the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people, leading to a two-state solution to enable Israelis & Palestinians to live in peace & security.
The stakes have never been higher.
