Good morning Chicago! Rare work trip to my hometown to join the #AmDreamConf @rooseveltu.bsky.social to talk about the US in the world from the UN’s founding to today. Americandreamconference.com #UN80

Good morning Jeju Island, ROK! It’s been a pleasure to meet you these last two days at the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity! #SouthKorea

Launching our latest report this morning on Peace Ops & “Unconstitutional Changes in Government” by @albertbtrithart.bsky.social & Bitania Tadesse. Watch below and Read executive summary here:

#Happening now @ipinst.bsky.social Art for Peace event featuring Nasreen Sheikh, a global advocate, artist, & survivor of modern slavery. #EndModernSlavery

Excellent Security Council briefing by my @ipinst.bsky.social colleague @jennarusso.bsky.social on Peace Operations, calling for strong planning & risk tolerant cultures; & will to offer bold ideas, not only the politically palatable in a constrained environment. The times demand ambitious action!

So, there you have it. The United States voting with Russia, Belarus, & North Korea, against #Ukraine and NATO allies. Even China abstained. This is not isolationism. This is taking sides, the side of the aggressors.

Much to reflect upon as we depart @munsecconf.bsky.social today. We’ve entered a critical, dangerous moment in the transatlantic relationship. One bright spot was our @ipinst.bsky.social lunch on a new vision for peace in the Middle East. Difficult days ahead but #AnotherWayIsPossible

Two ministerial events today @munsecconf.bsky.social on Israel-Palestine, Q from audience: where is civil society? Tomorrow @ipinst.bsky.social hosts a side event with joint Israeli Palestinian movement ALFA: 2 states One Homeland . #Peace will come from grassroots.

Beginning day @munsecconf.bsky.social w/ Econ Townhall w/ President of #Ghana, Celso Amorim, & SG @unctad.bsky.social . Takeaway: US trade war will ⬆️ South-South trade. Brazil & Africa won’t mourn old system. They must build new systems.

AI event @gzeromedia.com @microsoft.com #AI is moving at the speed of light and US disruption is causing high anxiety. Panel advice: stay true to your values & play long game.

Great discussion today on the 2025 #Peacebuilding Architecture Review w/ UN PBSO, & co-facilitators #Egypt #Slovenia @ipinst Key take away: we don’t need to reinvent the wheel, but the car needs fuel! Consensus on push for 💪🏼 PBC. We must seize opportunity for a more robust & effective system.

Just back from historic @DohaForum w/ @raad_zeid @ipinst held against the momentous events in #Syria. Much to unpack, but all thoughts are with the Syrian people. This is their moment. Many thanks to @QatarAtUN for partnership and @UN_PGA for our session on #ThePactForTheFuture
