OK, what do I really think of #UNGA? Pre-recording an interview on #UNG78 with @sherwiebp this morning, I went a little off script. (Only joking 😉)

A loss of a good man - of a generation fast fading away to be replaced by which sort?
Sherwin Bryce-Pease@sherwiebp

SABC News has reliably been informed that South African diplomat and veteran senior U.N. official Nicholas "Fink" Haysom has died. Haysom served as President Nelson Mandela's Chief Legal advisor from 1994-1999 and later served in various senior roles at the U.N. including his latest as the SGs Special Representative to South Sudan. He also served in the U.N. Mission in Iraq, as SRSG in Afghanistan and Somalia in a long and storied career. Haysom was 73. We are awaiting an official statement from the U.N. #sabcnews

Devastated to hear of the passing of Nicholas 'Fink" Haysom, @unmissmedia chief & inspiring human rights defender. From South Africa, where he served with the Government & alongside Nelson Mandela, to the @UN, he spent decades serving for peace & justice.

An immense loss for the int. community. I worked very closely with "Fink" on South Sudan during my time as ambassador at USUN. He was an extraordinary human being who will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with his family, friends & colleagues. @UNDPPA @UN_News_Centre

So sad to hear that "Fink" Haysom passed away. A lifelong peacemaker, and all around great guy.

From Haiti to Gaza to Iran, the Trump administration has driven its agenda through the U.N. Security Council with striking ease. As Richard Gowan writes, member states fear the alternative may be that Trump walks away from the institution altogether. worldpoliticsreview.com/trump-board-of…

I am not sure this is 100% true (although it is a nice thing to say) but as I noted @WPReview yesterday, Trump has got *a lot* out of the #UNSC in the last year... worldpoliticsreview.com/trump-board-of…

Chairing #Syria UNSC for 1st time, @USAMBTurkiye tells Council members: "I'm so happy to be a little punctuation mark in the in the middle of what you do daily. And I want you to know that that our president actually feels exactly the same way, always appreciative"

The war in the Middle East and states’ reactions to it will also leave a mark on the already unravelling international order. Our experts unpack the world’s response to Israel and the U.S. attacks on Iran. crisisgroup.org/cmt/middle-eas…

Two decades ago, as Iraq burned and cherry blossoms bloomed in Washington, James Crawford quipped that the American Society of International Law might have to rename itself the American Society of International What? Today, the joke lands harder. doi.org/10.1093/ejil/c…

The U.S. and Israel have launched a sweeping, reckless and almost certainly lawless military campaign against Iran. An immediate ceasefire would leave important issues unresolved but achieving it must be the priority. crisisgroup.org/stm/middle-eas…
