Bulgaria is honored to have worked with El Salvador, Jamaica, Kenya, Luxembourg and Vietnam to promote this initiative. Special thanks to all 138 cosponsors! We look forward to the celebration of the International Day of Play!

Nemo judex in causa sua! So why should the Security Council differ? Today, 27/3, is a good day to remind ourselves that Article 27 (3) of the UN Charter is valid on any given day and should be implemented.

When women have #BodilyAutonomy they can:
✔ Enjoy healthy & fulfilling lives
✔ Decide if & when to start a family
✔ Have an education & a professional career

Liechtenstein delivers a joint statement on behalf of 19 States at #VetoInitiative meeting:

#Happy #Liberation Day, #Bulgaria ! 🇧🇬
