Preparing for , in celebrate the EU diversity and how languages connect people and create opportunities!

How many languages do you recognize?

The EU has 24 official languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish. And many more spoken by our citizens in the 27 Member States.

When people picture the UN, they rarely picture the EU standing behind it. Here is why they should.
Together, the EU and its Member States are the largest collective contributors to the UN system, year after year. A support that is structural.
The EU Member States contribute over 21% of the UN peacekeeping budget. Since the UN Peacebuilding Fund was created, the EU and its Member States have contributed over €630 million, providing more than 60% of total funding. On the ground, 22 EU civilian and military missions work hand in hand with the UN on the ground, such as in Libya, Somalia and the Central African Republic.
Behind every figure is the same idea: Multilateralism only works when someone is willing to resource it. The EU keeps showing up.

UNGA gets headlines. What happens next?

193 countries gather in New York for the UN General Assembly High-Level Week, but 🇪🇺 EU multilateral diplomacy does not stop there.

From defending human rights in Geneva to promoting culture and education in Paris, from upholding democracy in Strasbourg to deepening partnerships in Addis Ababa and Jakarta, and from advancing global security and non-proliferation in Vienna to partnering with the UN to end hunger and build sustainable food systems in Rome, our Delegations carry this work forward across the organisations shaping today’s biggest issues.

This year, four priorities guide 🇪🇺EU action at the UN: an inclusive multilateral system rooted in the UN Charter, a more effective and responsive UN, a stronger peace and security architecture and advancing prosperity and sustainable development towards 2030 and beyond.

Comment “UNGA” and we will send you the link to discover the EU’s work at the UN.

What does democracy mean to you?

For , we put the question to African youth-and let them take it from there.

From who holds power to who gets a say, their answers speak to inclusion, coexistence, and representation.

With many thanks to Bonolo Makgale, Centre for Human Rights and their excellent Master’s students for sharing their voices.
