"If there were ever a time when we need strong multilateral institutions to face a challenge that does not care about national sovereignty, the time is now." @StephDujarric to @arenda on the @UN in the time of #COVID19

"The underlying problem is that, early on, too many countries went their own way instead of acting in a coordinated, articulated way - something we will need as we design and build a post #COVID19 world." - @StephDujarric to @arenda

Still missing: a strong, unified voice from the UN Security Council, the organ tasked with the maintenance of peace and security in the world. - @StephDujarric to @arenda on the @UN in the time of #COVID19

While @UN HQ in NYC may be closed, the @UN remains open for business around the world, and is on the front lines where public health systems are the weakest – Libya, Yemen, Syria - to help governments to stop #COVID19 from spreading. - @StephDujarric to @arenda

This is the ROI, the bang for the American taxpayer buck: The @UN (the institution vs. the politically hamstrung Security Council) is doing the protective, preventative work around the world to stop #COVID19 from spreading. - @StephDujarric to @arenda

NYC (non)traffic alert: The @UN General Assembly will go forward in some form this September. @antonioguterres will submit proposals to member states, who will decide on the best approach in light of #COVID19 safeguards. - @StephDujarric to @arenda
What& #39;s missing? All the bilateral meetings that happen away from the cameras and off the official speech schedule - very much the lifeblood of global diplomacy and an element hard to replicate virtually.
@StephDujarric to @arenda on the possibility of an online #UNGA in the fall.
