The Civil Society Unit in the UN Department of Global Communications organized a Town Hall style dialogue with H.E. Ms. Annalena Baerbock, President of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, today: “Better Together: The role of civil society in strengthening the United Nations in fragmented times.”
IAW submitted a written intervention in support of: elimination of the veto power in the UN Security Council; engagement of at least 50-50 women in UN global peace and security governance measures; upholding the Women, Peace and Security Agenda; UN Charter Reform that reflects consensus building and structural changes to safeguard civilians; and CSW revitalization initiatives that accord observer status for NGO’s during the negotiation of the agreed conclusions during the annual UN Commission on the Status of Women.

IAW’s statement was a collaborative effort. Thank you to the following members for their knowledgeable and thoughtful contributions: Alison Brown, Jill Follows, Soon-Young Yoon, Thalia Brown, Jessica Pierson.
