UNGA 81st session convenes today
Today, the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly was launched in New York, with the participation of around 130 heads of state and government, to discuss important issues such as peace and security, climate change, health, digital governance, and artificial intelligence. The session is scheduled to continue until September 28. It is expected that the President of the European Council will deliver a speech on behalf of the European Union, amid escalating U.S. restrictions on visas for the Palestinian delegation, which was rejected by the assembly and supported by 152 countries, reaffirming the commitment to the United Nations Headquarters Agreement that obligates the United States to facilitate the entry of delegations to participate in meetings. The session is held under the theme "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation," and it is the final one for Secretary-General Guterres before his term ends at the end of December.
