On World Humanitarian Day, the UN Iraq Renews its Commitment to Relieve the Plight of the Displaced
Baghdad, Erbil, 19 August 2014 – “Today, 19 August, as we remember our fallen colleagues who perished in an attack on the UN Headquarters in Baghdad 11 years ago, we must also pay tribute to the countless national and international humanitarian workers in Iraq who continue to face danger and adversity to bring lifesaving assistance to those in need, and remember their sacrifices”, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Nickolay Mladenov said.
“More than ever this year, as violence and daily fighting remain sadly widespread, uprooting hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, killing and maiming thousands others, Iraqis count on humanitarian workers for their very survival”, Mr. Mladenov added. “Internally Displaced People are among the most vulnerable”, he noted, underlining that “they are traumatized and frightened, homeless and homesick, struggling for survival and dignity, at risk of gender-based violence”.
“On this occasion, I renew the commitment of the United Nations family in Iraq to redouble efforts to ensure protection and support to those Iraqis seeking refuge within the borders of their own country”, Mr. Mladenov declared, calling on the Government and the humanitarian community to also step up their efforts to alleviate their suffering”.
“Our ongoing work, today, here in Iraq, is the best possible tribute to those who perished eleven years ago, and the best recognition of the humanitarian workers’ contribution to alleviate the suffering of those who had their lives thorn apart.

On 24 October 2025, Thailand marked United Nations Day and the 80th anniversary of the UN by reaffirming its commitment to multilateralism and the 2030 Agenda as a shared pathway for peace, prosperity, and sustainable development. This year’s commemoration echoes the UN Secretary-General’s call for the world to stand together and renew the promise of the UN.
A highlight of the commemoration was the unveiling of the special photo exhibition “30 Stories, 17 Goals, One Road to 2030” by the UN, in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The exhibition features 30 stories from across the country, highlighting the resilience and creativity of people and communities whose efforts, with UN partnerships and programmes, are helping to build a more sustainable and inclusive future.
The launch was attended by Member States representatives from the diplomatic corps, together with senior government officials, UN agencies, UN Goodwill Ambassadors, including Cindy Bishop and Alex Rendell, and partners from the private sector, civil society, and academia.
In her opening remarks, Michaela Friberg-Storey, Representative of the UN Secretary-General and UN Resident Coordinator in Thailand, commended Thailand’s sustained commitment to sustainable development at home and internationally, reaffirming UN support for the country’s priorities.
On behalf of the Royal Thai Government, Sarun Charoensuwan, Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, extended his congratulations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.
Chadatip Chutrakul, Chief Executive Officer of Siam Piwat Group, the UN’s event partner, reflected on the importance of collaboration across sectors, noting that the private sector plays a critical role in uniting stakeholders towards shared goals.
The UN Day 2025 Exhibition “30 Stories, 17 Goals, One Road to 2030” is open to the public from 23 to 26 October 2025 at Siam Paragon (Living Hall, 3rd Floor). Visitors are invited to explore the 30 stories and reflect on how individual and collective actions are helping advance the SDGs and improve lives. This exhibition has been made possible in part through the support of Siam Piwat.

The best shot I have of Katie and Shannon from their commitment ceremony yesterday (7/28/2012), Unfortunately, I selected the wrong seat for great photographs ~ behind people and a post ~ but it was still a very enjoyable day.

The typical, conventional nine-to-five work is the most stable and surefire way to earn a decent living—or is it?
Mahendra Moonstar is one of the few who dared to think differently. He abandoned the certainty of an office employment for the chance to explore Indonesia on his own two feet, one island at a time, from Sabang to Merauke.
A bold decision indeed. One that demands a considerable amount of wit, perseverance, and most importantly: commitment.
Erin and Jill are just fantastic. Definitely two of the most relaxed and laid-back ladies I've ever met, it was obvious how loved they were by all their guests! They had their commitment ceremony aboard the Sea Princess, which set sail out of Bar Harbor, and then everyone headed to The Neighboor House right down the road. Intimate and lovely!

African Union Delegation of CIDO Visits the African Diaspora in WASHINGTON D.C.
a renewed commitment from African Ambassador’s Group to supporting and facilitating the AU diaspora engagement efforts #AUCitizen
The Directorate is designed to serve as a catalyst to facilitate the involvement of African peoples
in Africa and globally in the affairs of the AU. The Directorate serves as the liaison office for all
non-state actors – civil society and the diaspora – wishing to engage with the AUC.
CIDO has two divisions: the Civil Society Division and the Diaspora Division. It also has a unit that serves as the Secretariat of the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC),
an advisory organ of the AU that provides African civil society organisations (CSOs) with
a platform to directly influence AU decision-making processes and institutions (see the
ECOSOCC chapter for more information). CIDO’s cross-cutting mandate ensures that it
collaborates with other AU organs, departments and structures.
Das Symposium widmete sich dieses Jahr dem Leitthema "All in – mit echtem Commitment zum Projekterfolg“.
Im Rahmen von Vorträgen, Workshops und einer Podiumsdiskussion gingen die Speaker:innen der Frage nach, wie Commitment in digitalen und hybriden Settings und in Krisenzeiten gelingen kann.
