Agency official urges member states to prioritize conflicts and humanitarian aid at United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week

An Agency official speaking for DPPA said the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week offers "an important opportunity" for member states to work together on major international crises and the humanitarian consequences they produce. The speaker named the conflict in Sudan, "the various conflicts in The Middle East" and Ukraine as key areas that require "serious" and "in-depth" discussion.

The official said DPPA is focused on ensuring that member states hear about the office's concerns and priorities and stressed "the absolute need to bring peace to many parts of the world." The speaker also noted that colleagues who work on humanitarian assistance could provide more detail about the "tremendous impact" of the conflicts, signaling coordination between political and humanitarian teams. "It is it is the fraying of societies. It's the fraying of international relations that needs to be repaired," the speaker said.

The speaker did not give a name or title in the recorded remarks; the transcript identifies the speaker only as representing DPPA.
