Helping keep Americans safe and the U.S. prosperous through our work at the United Nations and with UN Member States. Additional updates: @USAmbUN and @USUNSpox
NEW: Today, the UN Security Council passed a landmark resolution that will save countless lives. This humanitarian carveout for UN sanctions regimes is a win for people in need around the world – and for the humanitarian aid workers trying to reach them.
Today, we came together at the United Nations and stood with Iranian women, Iranian girls, and the Iranian people.
We strongly condemn the Taliban's latest ban on women's and girls' education. The Taliban cannot expect to be a legitimate member of the international community until it respects the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Afghan women and girls.
Let us continue to do everything in our power to contain the ripple effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine and hold all those who violate international law and support this illegal, immoral war accountable.
@USAmbUN : We must continue to fight for those who are not yet free. We must commit to the noble struggle. We must dedicate ourselves to the dream – and we must dream big.
The Junior Professional Officer program provides young professionals with a pathway to a career at the @UN – and applications are open until March 15. Pass this along to someone passionate about foreign policy and multilateralism ⬇️
Russia must fulfill its commitments to the Black Sea Grain Initiative. We cannot allow Russia to continue its weaponization of food and energy.
The Biden Administration remains deeply committed to protecting and advancing the human rights of women and girls at home and around the world, including at the UN and in our foreign assistance.
As Muslims prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting and caring for communities, let us redouble our efforts to combat prejudice and violence.

@UN was founded to serve as a venue for all voices, a forum that welcomes a diversity of views & perspectives, & promotes human freedom. Barring #Taiwan from setting foot on UN grounds is an affront not just to the proud Taiwanese people, but to UN principles. #TweetForTaiwan
The people of Burma are making their voices heard and demanding their democracy back. The military has tried to silence those calls with social media and internet blackouts, but we still hear the people of Burma loud and clear, and we stand in solidarity with them.
The #Maduro regime’s lies & deceit corrupt the @UN charter. We gather to solve the world’s problems, not stand by while Maduro starves the people of #Venezuela . That’s why we joined other nations to walk out of #UNGA74 when Maduro’s crony took the stage. #EstamosUnidosVE
The U.S. called for a virtual meeting of the UNSC in the wake of the PRC's decision to undermine Hong Kong’s autonomy & freedoms guaranteed under the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, a legally binding treaty registered w/ the @UN .

The US will no longer abstain when the UN engages in its useless annual vote on the Golan Heights. The resolution is plainly biased against Israel; on Friday, we will vote no.
Statement by Ambassador NIkki Haley on peaceful protests by the #Iranian people:
Ambassador Nikki Haley: “America is proud of our immigrant heritage and our long-standing moral leadership in providing support to migrant and refugee populations across the globe...But our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone."
UNSC just unanimously adopted US-drafted resolution imposing strongest sanctions ever in response to a North Korean ballistic missile test
