Statement of Monaco at the UNGA72

Nuclear weapons: The threat of nuclear escalation in Asia has never been so real and this threat cannot leave any leader indifferent.

Implementation:  Recognizing the importance of cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, Monaco continues to support collective action to promote peace and security.

Protection: We must, moreover, persevere resolutely in the fight against all forms of serious violence against human dignity and, in particular, to work for the improvement of the status of women, as discrimination and violence against women remain a reality.

SGVB: Monaco welcomes the SG’s courageous initiative, the Voluntary Pact between the United Nations and the Member States for the elimination of sexual exploitation and abuse  in peacekeeping missions, humanitarian assistance missions, and during missions which are meant to promote and protect human rights and, more broadly, during any activities where the Organization's contributes to Sustainable Development.
