    Secretary-General / Iraq

    Occupied Palestinian Territory
    Ukraine
    Libya
    78th World Health Assembly
    World Fair Play Day

    ———————————
    SECRETARY-GENERAL /IRAQ
    The Secretary-General landed back in New York a few hours ago. He will be in Headquarters at about 3 o’clock for the resumed session with the General Assembly on the UN80 initiative and that will be webcast.
    In Iraq, where he attended and addressed the Summit of the League of Arab States. In the remarks that he delivered, the Secretary-General reiterated our constant calls for an urgently needed permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the unconditional release of all hostages and the need for free flow of humanitarian aid. “Only a two-State solution can deliver sustainable peace,” he said.
    He also spoke about the situation in other parts of the region, including Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Sudan and Somalia. And underscored the vital partnership between the United Nations and the League of Arab States. 
    On the margins of the Summit, he held a trilateral meeting with the Chairman of the African Union, Mahamoud Youssouf, and the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Mr. Abu Al-Ghait.
    Their meeting focused on Sudan, and how to better cooperate and maintain a regular contact to better coordinate all initiatives in relation to peace in Sudan.
    He also met with the Prime Minister of Jordan, Jafar Hassan, where they discussed developments in the region, and obviously what is going on in Gaza. Separately, he discussed the situation in Lebanon with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam of Lebanon.
    On Sunday, he spoke with the Prime Minister of Iraq [Mohammed] Shia’ Al Sudani. The Secretary-General during those talks reaffirmed that we remain fully committed to continuing to support the Government and people of Iraq following the planned departure of the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq [UNAMI]. As you know, the mission’s mandate will not be extended beyond 31 December of this year.
    The Secretary-General also addressed the UN staff in Baghdad to express his thanks to them. He laid a wreath at a memorial in the UN Compound in honour of 22 of our colleagues, who as you know, were brutally killed during the terrorist attack at the Canal Hotel on August 19 2003. Mr. Guterres said that “this memorial is as a clear reminder of the vital work that the United Nations does around the world — and the dangers our people face in carrying out that work.”

    GAZA
    The Secretary-General is alarmed by the intensification of Israeli air strikes and ground operations in the Gaza Strip, which have resulted in the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in recent days, including many women and children, and, of course, large-scale evacuation orders.
    The Secretary-General calls for the rapid, safe, and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale directly to civilians, in order to avert famine, alleviate widespread suffering, and prevent further loss of life.
    The Secretary-General continues to call for a permanent ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and welcomes the ongoing efforts by the mediators to reach a deal in Gaza. He has repeatedly warned that the continued violence and the destruction will only compound civilian suffering and heighten the risk of a broader regional conflict.
    The Secretary-General reiterates that civilians must be respected and they must be protected at all times, and that all parties must strictly adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law.
    The Secretary-General firmly rejects any forced displacement of the Palestinian population.

  • MIL-OSI Video: UN Chief Honors Victims of 2003 Baghdad Bombing | United Nations

    Source: United Nations (Video News)

    UN Secretary-General António Guterres commemorated the victims of the 2003 Canal Hotel bombing in Baghdad today (May 18), calling it “the worst terrorist attack in the history of our organization” and paying tribute to those who lost their lives in the line of duty.

    “Almost 22 years ago, the United Nations families suffered the worst terrorist attack in the history of our organization,” Guterres said during a ceremony at the site of the bombing. “Twenty-two years is a long time, but we will never forget.”

    On August 19, 2003, a truck bomb struck the UN headquarters in Baghdad, killing 22 people, including Sergio Vieira de Mello, the then-UN Special Representative for Iraq. Dozens of others were injured. The attack marked a turning point in the UN’s engagement in Iraq and led to the designation of 19 August as World Humanitarian Day.

    “They were sons, daughters, mothers, fathers and friends who are, to this day, mourned by those they knew and loved,” Guterres said. “We’ll always remember their leader, Sergio Vieira de Mello, was also killed in the attack.”

    The Secretary-General also paid tribute to the survivors, acknowledging their pain and perseverance. “We will stand with the survivors whose lives was changed forever,” he said, noting the bravery of those who rushed to help in the aftermath, “showing us the very best of humanitarian spirit.”

    Standing before the memorial at the Canal Hotel site, Guterres emphasized the progress Iraq has made in the years since, as well as the UN’s enduring commitment to the Iraqi people. “This memorial stands as a tribute to their lives and their contributions to the people of Iraq,” he said. “It also stands as a reminder of how far Iraq has come since 2003.”

    The ceremony included a wreath-laying and flag-raising by the UN Guard Unit, honoring both the fallen and those continuing humanitarian efforts worldwide.

    “Above all, this memorial is as a clear reminder, a reminder of the vital work that organization does around the world and the dangers our people face in carrying out that work,” said Guterres. “Their bravery, dedication and belief that a better future is possible will always inspire us.”

    He concluded, “Their sacrifices and contributions to our world and to our vital cause of peace will never be forgotten.”

    Secretary-General Antonio Guterres praised Iraq’s progress since 2004 for, “strengthening institutions, resolving disputes through dialogue, providing humanitarian assistance and fostering sustainable development and human rights.”

    The Secretary-General spoke at the Summit of the League of Arab States today (17 May) in Baghdad, Iraq.

    “I am alarmed by reported plans by Israel to expand ground operations and more,” Guterres said during his address. “And I emphasize that the United Nations will not participate in any so-called aid operation that does not adhere to international law and the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality,” he added.

    He stressed the urgent need for support to UNRWA, saying, “I reiterate my appeal for the urgent and full support of UNRWA’s work, including financial support. We reject the repeated displacement of the Gaza population – and we obviously reject any question of forced displacement outside of Gaza.”

    Turning to Lebanon, Guterres called for full implementation of Security Council resolution 1701. “Sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon must be respected, and the Government of Lebanon must have control over all Lebanese territory,” he said. “I welcome the stated commitment by Lebanese officials to ensure a state monopoly over weapons.”

    On Sudan, the Secretary-General said a unified international effort was critical to stem worsening conditions. “Renewed and coordinated multilateral engagement is crucial to help stem appalling violence, famine, and mass displacement,” he stated, thanking the Arab League and African Union for their cooperation in a recent high-level meeting.

    Guterres concluded by commending Iraq’s progress in the two decades since the restoration of sovereignty. “I want to recognize and commend the progress Iraq has made… strengthening institutions, resolving disputes through dialogue, providing humanitarian assistance and fostering sustainable development and human rights,” he said. “I sincerely hope that all pending issues will find a just solution by dialog.”

    Slavery is not a problem cast to the annals of history. Modern slavery and forced labour are hidden in plain sight, found everywhere from nail salons to pristine factories, impacting 50 million people worldwide. Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s John Schultz explains more about this worsening problem and how it impacts economies and communities. He also explains how data technologies and artificial intelligence are being leveraged in new ways to draw insights from sources such as from shipping reports, photos, supply chain data and victim impact statements to tackle this issue in a way that’s never been possible before. He shares the collaborations in place that are broadening data pools and the simple question business leaders must ask to dig deeper into their own firms to make real change possible.

    The Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a joint evidence session with the Ukrainian Committee on Foreign Policy and Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation to discuss how we strengthen the UK-Ukraine relationship and combat Russian information manipulation and interference campaigns, at approximately 10.30, on Tuesday 20 May.

    In an attempt to undermine democracy in western societies, the Russian state frequently utilises disinformation campaigns to create an atmosphere of distrust. Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, these efforts have increased.

    The session will allow members of both Committees to explore the objectives behind these campaigns and examine how the tactics and techniques used in Russian disinformation campaigns have evolved.

    Members may also consider how this differs across traditional and social media platforms and how these campaigns are targeted to different audiences. Questions could explore what lessons the UK can learn from Ukraine’s approach to combatting Russian information campaigns and may also consider the response of western allies more widely.

    Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.

    Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.

    Source: United Nations (Video News)

    UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for urgent action from Arab leaders to address what he described as a “crucial time” for the region, urging unity, vision, and concrete solutions to longstanding crises.

    “I am pleased to be in Baghdad once again, this time for this Summit of the League of Arab States in a crucial moment for the region,” Guterres told reporters in Baghdad today (17 May). He said, “The ground is moving under our feet in this region. But the tectonic shifts are not a force of nature. The problems of violence and volatility are the results of concrete choices of people. And the solutions are also in the hands of decisionmakers.”

    Addressing ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises, Guterres said, “We know the people of the Arab world demand and deserve a better future.” He highlighted the situations in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, urging respect for ceasefires, inclusive political transitions, and peace efforts. “People in every corner of the Arab world… seek the same as those anywhere – a future of justice, dignity, human rights, security, peace and hope.”

    Guterres placed particular emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, describing it as central to the region’s “unrealized hope.” He reiterated support for a two-State solution: “Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as the capital of both States – is not just a vision. It is a necessity.”

    “The situation for Palestinians is beyond description … beyond atrocious … and beyond inhumane,” he said. “A policy of siege and starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately.”

    Closing his remarks, the Secretary-General urged decisive leadership: “This is a moment for moral clarity and concrete action. The choices ahead will shape the region for years to come. We can and must rise to this moment with courage, unity, and vision. I am convinced that the Arab world has the strength, the wisdom, and the opportunity to lead the way toward peace, dignity, and a future worthy of all its people.”
