Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad shared the Council’s programme of work for the month of July. He spoke about meetings scheduled for the month, including a signature event on promoting international peace and security with a focus on multilateralism and peaceful resolution of disputes. He also highlighted a range of pressing peace and security issues on the Council’s agenda, including the evolving situation in the Middle East, developments across Africa, Europe, Asia and Latin America, and the important role of UN peacekeeping in promoting the Council’s objectives.
The floor was then opened for questions from representatives of civil society organizations, inquiring on Haiti, Myanmar, Gaza, as well as the Women, Peace and Security agenda. In his commentary, the Ambassador stressed the need to return to the main tenets of the United Nations.
