  • At New York mosque, UN chief pledges to help protect religious sites worldwide

    Guterres cites rise of anti-Muslim hatred, anti-Semitism and bigotry; says many political movements either openly admit to being neo-Nazi or are ‘lip syncing their words’
    Speaking to reporters, the UN chief announced that he had tasked Spanish diplomat Miguel Moratinos with the drafting of an action plan for the United Nations to support efforts to protect religious sites.

    Some will remember this fellow "Miguel Moratinos"


    Miguel Ángel Moratinos
    EU Special Representative
    Between 1996 and 2003, Moratinos was the European Union Special Representative for the Middle East,[4] based in Cyprus and Brussels.[5] In this capacity, he attended most meetings of EU foreign ministers.[6] During his time in office, the European Union – which had already been the biggest financial contributor to the region – also became increasingly vocal about Israeli-Palestinian relations.

    Syria asks Security Council to uphold resolutions on Golan

    Syria on Friday asked the UN Security Council to uphold resolutions declaring that Israel must withdraw from the Golan Heights, after President Donald Trump said the United States would recognize Israeli sovereignty over the territory.
    Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari urged the council to “take practical measures to ensure that the council is fulfilling … its mandate in the implementation of its resolutions” concerning the Golan, in a letter seen by AFP.
    The council is scheduled to discuss the Golan on Wednesday during a meeting on renewing the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force deployed between Israel and Syria in the Golan, known as UNDOF.
