“Equality is not a dream.  It is a decision.” - @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres The message echoes throughout the week as world leaders gather for #UNGA81, women's leadership and voices are taking centre stage at panels, discussions, and high-level events. @UN_Women #WPS

At #UNGA, Khalilur Rahman of #Bangladesh, President of the @UN General Assembly, addressed world leaders, reaffirming the Organization's commitment to serve, including through peacekeeping, and called for fairer representation at the Security Council. @UN_PGA #UNGA81

Good to meet H.E. General Birame Diop, President of the Economic Community of West African States #ECOWAS Commission.  Strengthening cooperation between @UNPOL and @ecowas_cedeao helps protect communities, strengthen institutions, and build trust. #InvestInPeace #Police4Peace

Thanked Minister of Public Security H. E. General Luong Tam Quang for 🇻🇳Viet Nam's continued support to @UN Peace ops, including @UNPOL. Grateful for the country's commitment to the #WomenPeaceSecurity agenda and its efforts to deploy more women to our peace ops. #UNGA

Thanked H.E. Irene Subaida Khan, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 to the @UN, for her country's critical contribution of over 4,000 troops and police to peace operations. We discussed how to further strengthen our cooperation and ongoing peacekeeping reforms. #UNGA

On this #PeaceDay, we ask: How do we measure the conflicts that didn’t happen? The true measure of peace is not only in the conflicts that ended, but also in those that never began. How do we measure them? By how we #InvestInPeace.

On #PeaceDay, I reaffirm @UNPOL's commitment to effective, accountable & community-oriented policing that protects rights, strengthens institutions & builds trust. Working with national police & communities, we help prevent conflict & sustain peace. #Police4Peace #InvestInPeace

Peace is in dangerously short supply. But around the world, people are showing that we are not powerless. Volunteers, advocates, civil society leaders, peacekeepers & peacemakers are bridging divides, uniting communities & pushing for dialogue. On #PeaceDay, let's be inspired by their courage & call on world leaders to invest in a peaceful future for all.

“Let us #InvestinPeace. Let’s stand united behind those who keep it. And forge, together, new pathways to peace.” On 18 September, @antonioguterres addressed the Security Council on @UN peacekeeping and all peace operations: un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat… 📸 @unmissmedia @UNISFA_1

Borderless threats demand principled, coordinated policing. At the International Security Services sub-forum of the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in 🇨🇳, I stressed @UNPOL’s commitment to human rights, due process & the rule of law. 📸@Chinamission2un #Police4Peace

Women & young people are essential partners in building lasting peace. In #SouthSudan 🇸🇸, UN Police at #UNMISS work with mothers, students & communities to promote peaceful coexistence, personal safety, #SGBV prevention & access to support services. #Police4Peace #InvestInPeace

The Standing Police Capacity enables @UNPOL to provide specialized support wherever it's needed. It was valuable to meet with the Senior Management Team & colleagues @chief_spc in Brindisi🇮🇹 & the field to hear more about their work supporting UN peace operations. #Police4Peace

Ahead of #PeaceDay, the Global Peace Flag is bringing together creativity, sustainability and a shared message of peace. The interconnected canvases give people around the world a space to express their messages of peace, while helping divert textiles from landfills.

The @UN is not just a platform, it is a promise. My message to world leaders as they will gather for #UNGA in an era of deep uncertainty: Keep your promises. Live up to the UN Charter. Be true to the ideals you pledged to uphold. Defend international law. Protect human rights. Invest in sustainable and inclusive development. And push for peace.

Preventing tensions starts with listening. In Cyprus’ #bufferzone, UN Police in #UNFICYP work with Civil Affairs & farmers from across the divide to help build trust, prevent misunderstandings & address concerns before they become incidents. #Police4Peace #InvestInPeace

Building trust through partnership! @UNISFA_1 commemorated the International Day of Police Cooperation in Abyei, bringing together @UNPOL, local authorities and communities to promote professionalism, mutual respect and shared responsibility for peace and security. @UN @Abyeifm

Ahead of #PeaceDay, the United Nations Secretary-General rang the Peace Bell at @UN Headquarters in New York. @antonioguterres urged world leaders to #InvestInPeace to address rising violence, division, and conflict worldwide.

People worldwide are making vital contributions to lasting peace, from speaking out against violence to helping those affected by conflict. Their role is key to building a better future. Ahead of #PeaceDay, be inspired & explore ways to #ActNowForPeace: un.org/en/actnow/ten-actions…

For over 6 decades, UN Police officers from around the world have served in demanding contexts. From @UNTMIS_ to @MONUSCO, they work with national authorities & other partners to help protect civilians, strengthen policing & build trust. police.un.org/en/news/intern… #InvestInPeace
