Acknowledged
We will continue to make that point in the United Nations. The UK works closely with all the UN’s mechanisms aimed at preventing and tackling SEAH, including the Special Coordinator’s office which plays an essential role in coordinating and strengthening alignment of the UN’s approach. It is vital this area is given adequate resource to ensure that the Secretary-General’s strong leadership is translated into concrete action.
