Russia is weaponising disinformation at the United Nations. Here’s how we’re fighting back and exposing their lies.

Tackling climate change and ending poverty are two sides of the same coin. This World Environment Day, Ambassador Barbara Woodward and UN Environment Programme Deputy Executive Director Elizabeth M. Mrema explain why we can’t have one without the other. #GenerationRestoration

80 years since D-Day. 80 years since the largest seaborne invasion in history. 80 years since the heroic efforts of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. 80 years of peace in Western Europe since. Today we say thank you. #DDay80

80 years on, we salute the bravery and sacrifice of the Allied forces. D-Day was the beginning of the end of WW2. The creation of the TB was built on the sacrifice of heroes and a vision for peace and security that we must protect.

Congratulations to H.E. Mr. Philémon Yang of Cameroon 🇨🇲 on his election as the 79th President of the United Nations General Assembly. UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳 look forward to working with you to build a better future for us all.

The UK and 39 Member States have demanded the immediate and unconditional release of United Nations, diplomatic and NGO staff detained by the Houthis since June 7. The humanitarian situation in Yemen is rapidly deteriorating. Aid workers need unimpeded access to reach the most vulnerable.

The Security Council demands that the Rapid Support Forces immediately stop the siege of El Fasher where hundreds of thousands of civilians are sheltering. Today’s UK-led resolution seeks to avert a massacre and create the wider conditions for de-escalation across the country.

Fantastic to gather with colleagues from around the world at the United Nations last night in honour of His Majesty The King's birthday and his life-long passion for the environment and biodiversity. As His Majesty said at COP28, “the Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth”.

On His Majesty The King's Birthday, we gathered with Ambassador Barbara Woodward to honour his long-standing passion for biodiversity and the environment ahead of this September’s Summit of the Future.

Women’s seat at the table should be the norm, not the exception. On International Day of Women in Diplomacy, Ambassador Barbara Woodward sets out the importance of including women in peace processes – "we know from the data the peace lasts at least 15 years longer".

Change begins now.

The children of Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital gave me this last year. It hangs in my office.   We will call out Russia's cowardly and depraved attack on the hospital last night in the Security Council. As David Lammy said: we will hold those responsible for this war to account.

Reports of civilian deaths after an Israeli airstrike near a school in Abassan, Gaza are horrifying. In one of his first acts as UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer set out the need for an immediate ceasefire, urgent measures to protect civilians and the release of all hostages.

“My government has set out a central mission: to tackle global poverty, instability and the climate and nature crisis” - ⁠Ambassador Barbara Woodward At the UN High-Level Political Forum, the UK’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals is unwavering.

Sudan is one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Just a few years ago, a stable democratic future seemed within reach. Now 18 million people are facing hunger and 9 million have been forced to flee violence. All because two generals are struggling for power.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is devastating. United Nations estimates 17,000 children are unaccompanied, making them extremely vulnerable to acute malnutrition and additional trauma. The UK has lifted the pause to UNRWA funding, releasing $27 million to support its life-saving work.

I am relieved that Vladimir, Evan, Paul and Alsu have been released from Russian prison. They told the truth about Russia’s war in Ukraine. Their imprisonment for doing so is a shameful indictment of Russia’s attempts to hide its crimes from the world.

There is famine in Sudan. And it’s entirely man-made. In Darfur, the SAF are blocking aid, while the RSF’s ongoing assault is creating conditions for famine to spread. The warring parties must stop fighting, agree steps to a ceasefire and allow full humanitarian access now.

Today is Ukrainian Independence Day. Instead of celebrating, Ukrainians are fighting for their land. Ukraine is also defending the UN Charter which enshrines every country’s right to sovereignty and territorial integrity. The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Working with Dapo Akande over the last 3 years has been a privilege. I am delighted to offer the UK’s full support to his nomination to be an CIJ_ICJ judge. Law Professor at University of Oxford and International Law Commission member – he represents the best of UK legal expertise.
