Representative of UN Secretary-General & Resident Coordinator in Jordan. Previously in Gaza, West Bank, S. Sudan, Iraq, NY and beyond. @UnitedNationsJO
A heartfelt thank you to H.E. Ambassador @AkramHarahsheh, Permanent Representative of Jordan to the @UN in Geneva for a lovely welcome and dinner, together with Jordanian representatives to the International Civil Defence conference and members of the Jordanian Permanent Mission. It’s always a joy to catch up with Jordan’s representation to the UN.
@ForeignMinistry@UnitedNationsJO@RHCJO
In Geneva with fellow @UN Resident Coordinators and UN political colleagues from across MENA to share analysis on the region's challenges, which are deep and interconnected.
Convened by @UNDPPA with generous funding from @SwissMFA and @ItalyMFA_int and support from @UNUniversity, and joined by select scholars and practitioners, we’re focused on ensuring effective engagement approaches that meet this moment in history and bring politics, rights, development and climate together.
Useful, frank conversations. Glad to be here.
Today is @UN Day. Eighty-one years ago, the Charter of the United Nations came into force, and with it a shared pledge to:
• End the scourge of war
• Uphold human rights and the dignity of every person
• Promote social progress and better standards of life
• Practice tolerance and live together in peace
#Jordan has held to that pledge through decades of turmoil in its region.
On this UN Day, the @UnitedNationsJO continues to stand with all Jordanians in advancing a peaceful and prosperous future for all humans, together.

أُدين بشدة الاعتداء الآثم الذي استهدف اليوم المشيّعين في إحدى كنائس #الكرك. أتقدّم بأحرّ التعازي وأصدق مشاعر المواساة إلى ذوي الضحايا، مع تمنياتي للمصابين بالشفاء العاجل. يجب أن تبقى دور العبادة ملاذاً آمناً للجميع. تقف @UnitedNationsJO إلى جانب الشعب الأردني.
I strongly condemn today's horrific attack on mourners at a church in #Karak. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims, and my wishes for a swift recovery to the injured. Places of worship must be safe for all. The @UnitedNationsJO stands with the people of #Jordan.
Here are 10 priority actions to reach 11M people in crisis. The asks are clear. Next step is for decision makers to give positive responses and help get humanitarian aid to people in need, safely.
Yesterday, I was pleased to welcome @UN Under Secretary-General @Lacroix_UN to Amman and to join him in engagements with #Jordan's authorities on @UNPeacekeeping. The 🇺🇳 is deeply grateful for 🇯🇴's active and faithful contributions to the goals of the UN Charter: to work towards preventing and removing threats to peace, to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems, and to promote and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all.

In #Jordan🇯🇴, where I thanked officials for their country's support to @UN Peacekeeping, including through troop and police contributions to our missions, and for its efforts to advance regional and global peace and security. #InvestInPeace
كان إلي الشرف إني أجدّد تهاني @UnitedNationsJO للواء الركن مجدي الحراسي بمناسبة تعيينه رئيسًا لهيئة الأركان المشتركة للقوات المسلحة الأردنية @ArmedForcesJO.
بقدّر التعاون الإيجابي مع عطوفته والقوات المسلحة الأردنية، بما في ذلك التعاون في مجال المساعدات الإنسانية لغزة، ومساهمات الأردن في عمليات حفظ السلام التابعة للأمم المتحدة @UN، وجهود المملكة في تعزيز دور المرأة في القوات المسلحة. بتطلّع لمواصلة شغلنا المشترك.

It was my honor to renew the @UnitedNationsJO congratulations to Major General Magdi Al-Harasis on his appointment as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the @ArmedForcesJO.
I appreciate the positive collaboration with His Excellency and JAF, including on humanitarian aid to #Gaza, in Jordan’s contributions to @UN peacekeeping, and in the Kingdom’s advancement of women in military. I look forward to continuing our work together.

‼️10 points of action = 11 million people helped. This is the @UN at its best: presidents, prime ministers, and other world leaders taking real action to help real people. #UNGA81
.@UNReliefChief Tom Fletcher tells me he’s been “shaking down” foreign ministers, buttonholing them with his top 10 list of urgent commitments to save lives globally. “If we get these ten agreements, we can reach 11 million people this year who will otherwise die,” he tells me.
The General Debate of the United Nations General Assembly is the opportunity for Heads of State and Government to come together at the UN Headquarters and discuss world issues.

Many world leaders chose to start off the annual high-level @UN General Assembly with a supremely important discussion on "Humanitarian Diplomacy that Safeguards International Humanitarian Law", organized by 🇪🇺 🇮🇪 , co-sponsored by 🇯🇴 @ForeignMinistry with 🇨🇦 🇧🇷 and @_AfricanUnion, and opened by HM Queen Mathilde of 🇧🇪 with statements from @ICRC, @UNReliefChief and @WFPChief among many others.
The attendance and voices of so many world leaders is important. But all agree: this is not enough. Talk must lead to preventive action and accountability. This week #UNGA81 offers an important opportunity to do just that.
