On International Women’s Day 2026 (#IWD2026), women’s rights mean nothing if we cannot defend them. Women and girls have just 64% of the legal rights of men. When justice fails, women pay the price. Without justice, rights are just words. With justice, rights become power. #ForAllWomenAndGirls, we’ll never back down. Rights. Justice. Action. ✊ 🔗 unwo.men/8mOM50YqGZU

Depuis plus de 60 ans, la feuille d’érable unit le Canada. Elle distingue nos athlètes, nos missions diplomatiques et les membres de nos forces armées. En ce Jour du drapeau national du Canada, ce drapeau est en berne par solidarité avec Tumbler Ridge. ow.ly/pMBV50YgaqV

For over 60 years, the Maple Leaf has united Canadians. It’s carried by our athletes, flown over our diplomatic missions, and worn by our Armed Forces members. On this National Flag Day, it flies at half-mast as we mourn with the Tumbler Ridge community. ow.ly/5xF150Ygarv

Canada’s consulate in Nuuk, #Greenland, is officially open! Because what happens in the #Arctic matters to Canadians. It affects our security, our economy and our climate. A stronger presence means a stronger North.

From eradicating smallpox and healing the ozone layer to preventing a third world war, over the last 80 years the UN has led the way to some of humanity’s greatest triumphs. Today, the UN is needed more than ever. We’ll continue to carry out our work with determination.

80 years ago today, on 10 January 1946, the United Nations General Assembly met for the first time in London. This UN was born in a world on fire and desperate for reprieve. 750 million – nearly a third of humanity back then– still under colonial rule. Two World Wars in a generation. 70 million dead. The horrors of the Holocaust revealed to our collective shame. This was a generation that knew almost nothing but suffering and despair. But the signing of the Charter in San Francisco and the first meeting of the 51 states in the Methodist Central Hall in London guided our path from the ashes of war with a compass pointing toward peace, humanity, and justice. We have not always succeeded. But the story of this institution is not a story of easy victories. It is the story of pulling ourselves and each other back up and trying harder. Just as our predecessors did eight decades ago, our job is to find the resolve not to give up. The resolve to be Better Together.
