This veto was designed to conceal Russiaโ€™s arms deals with North Korea.

But let's be clear to Russia: the UN sanction regime remains in place.

Today at United Nations we'll discuss Russia's veto to renew the Panel of Experts on North Korea

Russia's veto means the United Nations now won't receive reports on DPRK's illegal nuclear programme

Why did Russia do this?๐Ÿคท

To hide the weapons theyโ€™re buying from North Korea to use against Ukraine

Seven years on from Colombiaโ€™s Peace Agreement, its people still face violence from armed groups.

And human rights defenders are being killed.

We call on the Colombian government to redouble efforts to tackle impunity. The UK is committed to supporting broad and lasting peace.

We need to see an immediate humanitarian pause, leading to a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza.

This is the fastest way to get the hostages out, and much needed aid in.

We welcome the appointment of Julie Bishop as the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General on Myanmar.

People in Rakhine State, and across Myanmar, face a terrible situation. Together with ASEAN, we will work at United Nations Security Council for a peaceful, inclusive Myanmar.

Aid workers should never be targeted.

Those doing life-saving work in Gaza must be protected and allowed full, unhindered access to conduct their work safely.

We must see an immediate cessation of hostilities to get aid in and hostages out, leading to a sustainable ceasefire.
