An overnight attack by Russian armed forces with hundreds of missiles and drones killed and injured civilians in multiple regions, according to Ukrainian authorities. We are visiting the impact sites to collect & verify information. In May, at least 238 civilians were killed and 1,404 injured in Ukraine. This is the highest number of killed and injured people since April 2022. The massive use of long-range missiles & drones is one of the main reasons why so many civilians are killed and injured in Ukraine today. For more information👇 ukraine.un.org/en/317240-pro…

Countries neighbouring conflict zones host the vast majority of refugees. They cannot be expected to carry this responsibility alone. Support for refugees must include support for the communities that welcome them. #GlobalTrends

In eastern #DRC, escalating violence is undermining efforts to contain a rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak, raising the risk of further spread. Renewed clashes in Masisi territory have displaced more people and restricted humanitarian movements. Read: bit.ly/4v7dGeP

I warmly congratulate the US & Iran for having reached a peace deal that provides for an immediate & permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict. My deep appreciation goes to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and other regional countries, for the constructive role played in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal.

The UN Human Rights Council works to advance human rights worldwide, helping ensure everyone enjoys the protections guaranteed by international law. The @UN_HRC's 62nd session begins at @UNGeneva on Monday. ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/r…

I strongly condemn today's Israeli strikes on Beirut. The strikes took place despite the ceasefire & at a time when the US & Iran are expected to reach an agreement that will pave the way to a peaceful resolution of this conflict. This conflict is having a devastating impact on the world's economy. I urge all parties to show maximum restraint at this crucial moment & I strongly hope for a successful outcome of the ongoing efforts by the US & Iran.

Happy birthday to UN Messenger of Peace @lang_lang! Thank you for your tireless commitment to improving the lives of children around the world through education and music. un.org/en/messengers-peace/l…

As AI reshapes our world, we must ensure it benefits everyone – and that it is accessible and safe. The first global scientific body on artificial intelligence brings together independent experts to assess how AI is transforming our lives and how it can serve the common good.

In a world rocked by conflict, it's easy to feel overwhelmed & powerless. But all around us are everyday architects of peace – from volunteers to campaigners & civil society leaders – showing us how to take action to reshape our communities for the better.  As we begin the 100-day countdown to #PeaceDay, let's honour these changemakers & take inspiration from their example.

The Middle East crisis is having devastating impacts far beyond the conflict zone. @WFP warns the fallout is driving deep, lasting consequences in places like Somalia, Afghanistan & Sudan, pushing 6.1 million people towards hunger. wfp.org/news/wfp-warning-bec…
