✍️ NEW OP-ED | Has the @UN Lost Touch with War?
The week in New York confirmed what I had felt for some time: conflict resolution had lost its central place in Turtle Bay’s debates, writes @EnriPicco in @EnvoyUNEMAG.

"Pulling Ethiopia and Eritrea back from the brink of war should be the priority for all those interested in preventing a deadly chain of interconnected conflicts from snaking across the Horn of Africa and Red Sea regions."
New alert from @CrisisGroup

🚨🚨
Eritrean troops have reportedly started moving into Ethiopia’s north.
Horn of Africa Director @AlanBoswell explains on @AJEnglish the possible consequences and why the conflict is deteriorating.

Israelis go to the polls next month in what some are calling the most important elections in Israel’s history.
But three years after the seismic events of 7 October, my latest newsletter examines what change, if any, the vote could bring. 👇

Seven months in, Iran & the U.S. each believe they have tools to make the other blink, fortitude to wait the other out, and disinclination to make concessions the other seeks.

In my latest piece for @el_pais, I argue that world leaders talking up multilateralism at UNGA this week rings hollow. Too many governments talk a good game on the @UN while letting it starve. Reviving it takes cash, political capital, and action. english.elpais.com/opinion/2…

"Aunque resulte fácil para otros gobiernos culpar a Washington, Moscú y Pekín por los males de la ONU, pocos han dado un paso al frente para ayudar a la debilitada institución."

"Xi Jinping is coming to Washington in the same week as the General Assembly, but does not feel bothered to come up to New York. I think a lot of people will say 'Where is the real center of decision-making?'"

Is the United Nations still fit for purpose?
As world leaders gather in New York for UN General Assembly, I discuss with @CaitrionaPerry on @BBCWorld key challenges for the next leader of the @UN.

For all its flaws, there’s no other institution that can replace UNGA. A great historical overview from @CrisisGroup @RichardGowan1 on why this universal body remains relevant.
Thanks @UN 👌🏽🙏🏿
Nice video history of the UNGA - featuring me and a blink and you'll miss it @antonioguterres cameo.

This is the UNGA equivalent of a Christmas television guide - love it.
