Full house today at the PoC Week Event on "Protection in Future Peace Operations: Looking to the SG's Review". United Nations peace op's will remain an indispensable tool for protection of civilians - the SG's review provides an opportunity to reflect on how to adapt to current challenges.



Mindful of Austria’s and the EU’s rich cultural heritage, PR Gregor W. Koessler proudly chaired this morning’s interactive high-level dialogue of the #UNGA on culture and sustainable development in the digital era. Thank you to all contributors. #MONDIACULT2025 #DigitalTransformation


The #GeneralAssembly is not only the UN’s most representative body - it can also take action on peace and security. Today we partnered with UN University Centre for Policy Research, #Egypt 🇪🇬 & #ElSalvador 🇸🇻 to host an interactive workshop on the GA’s tools & precedents for mandating 🇺🇳 #peace operations.


🇦🇹, together with 🇮🇳, co-hosted a reception on the occasion of #PKDay2025 to honour the service and sacrifice of UN peacekeepers. It was a moment to honour their legacy, strengthen dialogue among partners, & reaffirm our shared commitment to UN peace operations. UN Peacekeeping

Danke an Rafael Mariano Grossi für die aufschlussreichen Einblicke zur Lage im Iran. Die IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ leistet unter schwierigsten Bedingungen herausragende Arbeit – ihre Präsenz vor Ort ist unverzichtbar. Jetzt braucht es Raum für Diplomatie, um eine friedliche und nachhaltige Lösung zu


Als Bundesregierung haben wir uns heute, zusammen mit IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ Generaldirektor Rafael Mariano Grossi , zur Lage im Nahen Osten ausgetauscht. Wir sind uns einig: Ein neuer Flächenbrand muss verhindert werden. Ich appelliere an alle Seiten: Setzen wir den Waffenstillstand um und nutzen



On #CharterDay, 🇦🇹 recalled that the UN Charter is not a symbol — it is a necessity. In today’s world of fragmentation & conflict, we must uphold its principles in deed, not just word. The United Nations remains our best hope for peace, cooperation & shared progress. #UN80 #Multilateralism
