Words not weapons. That¡¯s the fundamental idea at the heart of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Humanity can only survive, humanity can only thrive through cooperation, not conflict. And that¡¯s why the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ exists.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ General Assembly is like the Super Bowl of global diplomacy. It is the only time that almost every world leader gathers in the same place ¨C at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ HQ in New York in September. But there is so much that goes on behind the scenes.

It¡¯s like global diplomacy speed dating. World leaders come in, they talk to each other for a few minutes, they get to know each other. They exchange ideas. They talk through their differences. And that¡¯s when negotiations can happen and progress can be agreed.
