In progress at UNHQ

Press Conference


The Security Council in April will convene two of its annual meetings on peacekeeping operations and on displaced persons and refugees at a “particular time for multilateralism” as “we are confronting a number of crises, including armed conflicts and funding”, its President for the month told reporters at a Headquarters conference today.

The Security Council’s January programme of work will feature a high-level signature event on tackling terrorism in Africa and a ministerial-level meeting on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, its President for the month announced at a Headquarters press conference today.

The Security Council’s programme of work for September — a “special challenge” due to its intersection with both the General Assembly’s High-level Week and the Summit of the Future — will focus on reinforcing weakening trust between nations and respect for international law, its President for the month told reporters at a Headquarters press conference today.
