He is concerned by the escalation of tensions and the violence and calls for restraint.
The situation is very volatile and dangerous.
Turning to this year’s UNGA…
As you know, the President-elect of the General Assembly – after discussions with Member States, the current President and the Secretary-General – selects the theme of the UNGA debate and the upcoming session.
President-elect Dennis Francis advised this morning that the theme for the 78th session of the General Assembly, including the general debate, will be “Rebuilding trust and reigniting global solidarity: Accelerating action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals towards peace, prosperity, progress and sustainability for all”.

He will speak Wednesday at the Seventh Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health.
Turning to the joint campaign with UN Women…
A total of 43 Member States have pledged to complete the UN online trainings on gender equality and the prevention of sexual harassment.
We thank the Permanent Missions of Andorra, Albania, Costa Rica, Liechtenstein and Mexico for their pledges.
And tomorrow is the Fourth of July, a holiday here in the US.
If you’re looking to keep cool with a podcast…
