SECRETARY-GENERAL/MIGRATION

Today, at 3:00 p.m., the Secretary-General will deliver remarks at the Informal Meeting of the General Assembly Plenary to hear a briefing on the Report of the Secretary-General on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. The meeting will take place in the Trusteeship Council Chamber.

In his remarks, the Secretary-General is expected to highlight that human mobility is profoundly shaping our world, and yet, instead of responding with cooperation, the global reaction has too often been driven by fear, division, and rank opportunism. He will note that safe and regular pathways are becoming ever more restrictive, and when pathways are blocked, migrants do not disappear, they are pushed into danger, exploitation, and the hands of smugglers.

The Secretary-General will call on all to choose cooperation over chaos, and dignity over discrimination, and to make the Global Compact real, in every region, on every route, for every migrant.

Amy Pope, the Director General of the International Organization for Migration, will also deliver remarks.

AFGHANISTAN/PAKISTAN

The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by the escalation of violence between Afghanistan and Pakistan and the impact it has on civilian populations. He calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The Secretary-General reiterates his call on the parties to resolve any differences through diplomacy.

From Coca Fields to Legal Futures in #Colombia

In the hills of Putumayo, Colombia, the land tells two stories.
For decades, coca cultivation fueled violence, illicit economies, and fear. Today, some farmers are choosing a different path.
In this meditative documentary, UN News correspondent Victoria Fernandez travels to rural Colombia to meet the farmers, producers, and exporters transforming former coca-growing land into fields of sacha inchi and sugar cane.
Through intimate conversations with Sandra Herrera, Doris Caicedo, Delfina Arboleda, Mao Bastidas, and exporter Christian Arias, the film explores how alternative development — supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) — is creating legal livelihoods and challenging the grip of transnational organized crime.
Shot in the fields, processing plants, and border regions of southern Colombia, The Same Soil is a story of risk, resilience, and the fragile work of cultivating peace.
