We need to leverage human rights to achieve the SDGs, as I see these as two sides of the same coin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">From a gender perspective, the situation is very concerning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Indeed,\u00a0<b>none<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 I repeat,\u00a0<b>none<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 of the indicators for SDG5, on gender equality, are even close to being met.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Violence against women and girls continues to be widespread. Harmful practices and discrimination based on sex have doubled, and a staggering 54% of countries still lack laws in all key areas of gender equality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The gap in power and leadership is visible at all levels, including in the General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Recognizing these challenges \u2013 and as a gender champion myself \u2013 I convened the second annual meeting of the Platform of Women Leaders during High-level Week to emphasize and dramatize the role of women\u2019s leadership in achieving the SDGs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I have appointed my Special Envoy to also serve as my Special Adviser on Gender Equality and Women\u2019s Empowerment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">And I will soon reestablish and convene the Advisory Board on Gender Equality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><i>Excellencies and Distinguished Delegates,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">This year has been marked by a stream of humanitarian crises \u2013 with a record\u00a0<b>350 million people<\/b>\u00a0in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, equating to one out of every 23 individuals globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The recent devastating earthquakes in Afghanistan and the deteriorating situation in the Middle East have painfully multiplied these numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">These crises underscore the scale and complexity of the challenges that the global humanitarian system has to deal with, on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families and relatives of the victims of all these tragedies, and call for urgent assistance to those in need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">And I call on partners to support humanitarian operations \u2013 as well as to facilitate the delivery of food, water, and health support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The reality is that humanitarian operations are often obstructed by resource constraints, and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is yet to receive around 70% of the funds required under the Global Humanitarian Appeal to meet these urgent needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Moreover, humanitarian workers are under threat \u2013 with alarming attacks on them and civilian infrastructure \u2013 in violation of international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I implore Member States to uphold humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law in\u00a0<b>all<\/b>\u00a0conflicts and to honour their obligations to safeguard humanitarian spaces, without exception, I repeat, without exception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Denying or withholding access, especially when basic needs are unmet, must not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">In our work as Member States, we must draw upon the valuable advice and experiences of civil society, human rights defenders, and youth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I just came from a very lively interaction with the youth delegates \u2013 and their demand is simple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">They expect to be accorded adequate space to engage with Member States so they can contribute to the intergovernmental processes, more especially on the Summit of the Future. I urge all Member States to heed their call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I commend the Chair for already briefing civil society organizations on the work of the Committee. I too will host a CSO Townhall \u2013 the first of what I hope will be the beginning of many more such engagements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><i>Colleagues,<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">As I conclude, let me stress that this year, the Committee for Programme and Coordination was not been able to agree on 10 programmes, which the Main Committees should now consider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I commend you, Chair, and the Committee as a whole for having already examined the relevant open programmes and urge you to share your conclusions with the Fifth Committee as soon as possible, so that the latter can take your input into account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">As you continue your important work, I call on you to use this Committee as a forum for open and respectful dialogue. Human rights mandate holders should be enabled to carry out their work without fear of intimidation or harassment \u2013 and it is the expectation that all participants will uphold their obligation to preserve the decorum and good order of the Assembly and its Committees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">While many issues may divide us, we shall find unity in our common humanity to advocate for a better future for all, and place human rights at the very heart of our work at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"HU\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">I look forward to working closely with you all to promote and protect human rights for everyone, everywhere.<\/p>\n<p
