In the wake of the flagship event at #UNGA74 in which the Minister of the Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands called for ‘Accountability for atrocity crimes committed by Daesh’, read some of the research by ICCT and our fellows on the aftermath of IS: 
In case you missed it, ICCT's very own Senior Project Leader, @tanya_mehra1, and Research Fellow, @bibivanginkel, offer critical opinions in @nrc on the proposal of The Netherlands at #UNGA regarding the trial of IS fighters: nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/09…
"Those who have been rendered stateless will have few alternatives but to identify themselves as citizens of ISIS." ICCT Associate Fellow, Colin Clarke (@ColinPClarke) highlights in @FPRI that the international community must remain active in fighting IS: fpri.org/article/2019/0…
Just now in #UNGA Israel's speaker threw down, saying "Turkey is not the Ottoman Empire." As @InnerCityPress, banned from #UNGA74 by AntonioGuterres, asked last night, when is @UN_PGA @BandeTijjani going to belatedly allow rights of reply? It's already Day 3
@UN_PGA @BandeTijjani @MatthewLeeICP @FUNCA_info @lnnercitypress @AdamShawNY @SaraCarterDC Now in #UNGA, SaudiArabia blames entirety of blame for killing Rafic Hariri on Iran. But a man said to be involved is now the head of UN Security in Jordan, banned Inner City Press has asked without answer, and exclusively reported: innercitypress.com/innercitypress…
@UN_PGA @BandeTijjani @MatthewLeeICP @FUNCA_info @lnnercitypress @AdamShawNY @SaraCarterDC Worst #UNGA speech so far is Cameroon Foreign Minister, about whose meeting with @AntonioGuterres amid his Biya killing in SW & NW @UN_Spokesperson @StephDiujarric has refused to answer Inner City Press banned from UN for asking about Guterres taken golden statue
Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas speaks during #UNGA74 at the General Assembly: “It is time to do more than just talk about sustainability. It is time to act sustainably – including in foreign and security policy.”

“A sustainable foreign policy is one that seeks lasting solutions to conflicts. One that involves all stakeholders. One that focuses on prevention & viable agreements. Sustainable foreign policy is multilateral foreign policy.” Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas at #UNGA74
“Far too often, crises and conflicts are not discussed in #UNSC until shots are being fired. The UNSC must move from being a crisis response body to being a crisis prevention body! It must also look at the causes of conflicts.” Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas

(1/9) I was unable to share my thoughts on #HLMUHC #UNGA on day of, but will do so with tweetorial below & my @nytimes commentary "Reversal in Health Coverage": nytimes.com/2019/09/24/opi…
I also want to thank everyone for warm words of support: my mother is doing better day by day.

(2/9) It’s been a landmark event as #HLMUHC moved mountains with political attention for #Health4All #UHC and the adoption of the Political Declaration. As per my op-ed for @ghn_news, reduced financial commitment but inclusion of #SurgeryUHC now apparent:

Interesting to see mortars shells land near the US Embassy in Baghdad on Monday while #Iran's @HassanRouhani & @JZarif smile for the cameras in NYC claiming they seek "peace" & "dialogue."
Reminder:
Tehran has a conglomerate of armed proxy militia groups in Iraq.

"The attack Monday night was the second since May, when a rocket was fired into the Green Zone, landing near the sprawling U.S. Embassy compound."
Fortunately, no casualties reported.

Alongside taking foreigners hostage in Iran & confiscating foreign ships, these terrorist attacks are another page of #Iran's blackmailing playbook.
My take:
Rouhani & Zarif are merely characters in Tehran's masquerade. This regime only understands strength & firmness.

We are here to say to the people of our continent that what happened in South Africa a few weeks ago does not represent the South Africa of Nelson Mandela. It cannot be correct that a minority would want to attack our brothers and sisters from the African Continent. #UNGA74
"In order for education outcomes to translate into better labour market outcome, we need to have adoptive policies, with inherent monitoring and evaluation instruments which will easily detect the success and failure in skilling for the labour market." #UNGA @UNDPAfrica
