30/01/2025 | 17:19:04 I would like to thank all my colleagues for their constructive and insightful contributions, which demonstrate our shared commitment to gender equality. The discussion has highlighted progress in some areas while reaffirming how much work remains to be done. It has also confirmed the importance of implementing the recommendations in the resolution. I would also like to express my gratitude to the Secretariat, in particular Ms Penelope DENU, for their invaluable support in preparing this... 30/01/2025 | 16:03:59 Dear President, Dear colleagues, According to the World Bank, 2.4 billion women today do not have the same economic rights as men, and “geopolitical tensions and the fragmentation of world trade threaten to roll back decades of advances in women’s economic empowerment”. The OECD reports that 58% of women in OECD member states are employed compared to 73% of men, and only one-third of managerial posts are held by women. Women in full-time work earn 12% less than men, compared to 19% in 1995... 28/01/2025 | 20:01:31 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Dear colleagues, The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is unprecedented, with fastest acceleration into famine, complete destruction of civilian infrastructure, and displacement of 2 million people.

The Israeli government has shown no restraint in blatantly committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. A study published in The Lancet estimated that the death toll in Gaza could exceed 186,000, factoring in indirect causes like starvation and lack of healthcare. Mothers in Gaza... 27/06/2024 | 20:39:51 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Dear President, Dear Colleagues, Regretfully, the report falls short of keeping an accurate track of historic facts and concentrates mainly on the events of 1974, while omitting to elaborate on the ethnic cleansing campaign perpetrated by the Greek side against the Turkish Cypriots between 1963 and 1974. The events of the 1960s were not just merely “inter-communal clashes or conflicts” as stated in the report. Nearly 30.000 Turkish Cypriots...
