OK, what do I really think of #UNGA? Pre-recording an interview on #UNG78 with @sherwiebp this morning, I went a little off script. (Only joking 😉)


"The funny thing is that Trump does not really have a fixed view of the UN," I tell @EdithLedererAP (Not specifying if that is funny peculiar or funny ha ha.) apnews.com/article/united…


"Diplomats and international officials at the United Nations in New York have responded to the election of Donald J. Trump as the next U.S. President with weary resignation rather than outright panic." ny.fes.de/article/un-ner…

Perhaps the biggest question about the next US administration’s posture at the UN is how confrontational it will be towards China. ny.fes.de/article/un-ner…

This is literally the story that Russia was peddling in the UNSC in late 2022 when (it is said) there was serious debate in Moscow about nuclear use.

Some unsubtle signaling going on in Kyiv. “Ukraine could develop a rudimentary nuclear bomb within months if Donald Trump withdraws US military assistance, according to a briefing paper prepared for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.” thetimes.com/world/russia-u…

I have a new (open access!) piece out in a Policy Forum over at @Intl_Journal on the future of Canada and the United Nations. I wrote this prior to last week's big change but I think the sentiments are now even more important. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

In partnership with @SingaporeUN, Crisis Group co-hosted an informal retreat this week with member states and the UN Secretariat to reflect on the outcomes of the UN's Pact of the Future, and discuss how to best implement the commitments made in it.
