Liechtenstein has now tabled, on behalf of 38 cosponsors, a resolution that mandates a meeting of the #UN General Assembly whenever a veto is cast in the Security Council - the #VetoInitiative. The resolution is a meaningful step to empower the GA and strengthen multilateralism.

UNA-UK is calling on all states to support Liechtenstein UN's initiative on #SecurityCouncil veto use. The proposed #VetoInitiative would increase accountability between #UNGA + the #UNSC. More on the need for action to help uphold peace + security: una.org.uk/news/security-…

It is critical that #COP27 is used to take concrete action on #LossAndDamage. Developing nations disproportionately face the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis - this must be addressed at COP27. theguardian.com/environment/20…

There are over 600 #fossilfuel companies at #COP27 - while #CivilSociety is sidelined at the #climate conference. Oil and gas industries have 636 representatives at the conference in Egypt – a rise of more than 25% on last year. theguardian.com/environment/20…
