And that's a wrap at UNGA
The debate at the UN General Assembly's 81st session came to a close on Monday, with lots to talk about on global conflict
In his closing address, Dr Khalilur Rahman, president of the general assembly, said, among 194 delegations, "peace" was a "word [that] came before all others."
"We heard anguish over the continued human suffering in Gaza, over the plight of the Rohingya."
"We heard frustration over persistent conflicts across the Middle East, in Ukraine, Sudan and Myanmar."
Speaking of expansionism Conflict Journal wrote about, Rahman said "speakers pointed out that effects of conflicts do not stay where they happen, their impacts reverberate throughout the world."
"We heard demands for civilian protection, humanitarian access, accountability, and political solutions grounded in international law and international humanitarian law. We heard that the maintenance of peace and security ... meant more than containing violence."
Remember, we all share the same moon. And Conflict Journal will continue to report on global conflict and all the issues that stem from such.
