🧐 Why would governments compete for a UN position often described as largely ceremonial? In a new analysis from #NYUCIC, Thibault Camelli @marani_fernando examine the rarely contested election for the @UN_PGA, and what it reveals about power, influence, and control within the #UN system. 🇺🇳 The paper argues that while the President of the General Assembly lacks formal authority, the office plays a critical role in shaping agendas, steering negotiations, and influencing outcomes across the UN. Yet it remains deliberately constrained in resources, continuity, and independence. 🌍 As debates about the future of multilateralism continue, this analysis offers fresh insights into one of the UN’s most overlooked leadership roles, and practical recommendations for strengthening it. 📄 Read the full analysis: cic.nyu.edu/resources/when-t… #UnitedNations #UNGA #Multilateralism #GlobalGovernance #Diplomacy #UNReform

Earlier this month, @OHCHR organized a side event in the margins of the #STIForum 2026 on #AI Justice Systems. 🌐 This event was co-hosted with the Permanent Missions of the Netherlands and Costa Rica to the United Nations, Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies, and the Justice Action Coalition, and brought together member states, UN agencies, academia, civil society, and justice practitioners to examine the growing intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), AI governance, and the justice system. ⁉️ The discussion explored: 🧰 How courts are navigating AI-related disputes involving bias, privacy, judicial independence, and access to justice, while also grappling with the use of AI tools within justice institutions themselves. ⏺️ Key governance challenges around transparency, accountability, and the irreplaceability of the human judge, and the need for capacity building across the justice ecosystem on AI. 🔑 Ahead of the inaugural Global Dialogue on #AIGovernance happening in July 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland, this was a timely discussion where speakers emphasized that justice must be central to global AI governance. 📄 Read the report: sdg16.plus/resources/meeting… 📺 Watch the event recording: sdg16.plus/resources/video-a… #AIPolicy #SDG16 #HumanRights #JusticeSystems #JusticeForAll
