The two flagship products of the Department of Global Communications Meetings Coverage Section have just been published: Executive summaries of the work carried out by the Security Council in 2021, and by the General Assembly and its six Main Committees during the main part of the Assembly’s seventy-sixth session.
Organized around themes, these reference documents offer an overview of issues discussed during the official meetings of the two bodies: 246 meetings, including 95 by videoconference – held by the Security Council in 2021, during which 57 resolutions and 24 presidential statements were adopted; as well as 147 meetings of the General Assembly and its Main Committees since the start of the seventy-sixth session, including its general debate, held from 21 to 27 September 2021, which featured 194 speakers, including 152 Heads of State and Government.
Useful for delegations, as well as the media and general public, these summaries highlight the debates, texts adopted and issues addressed by Member States.
In accordance with its mandate (General Assembly resolution 41/68), the Meetings Coverage Section’s team of press officers, editors and editorial assistants covers each public meeting of the main United Nations organs and their subsidiary bodies, at United Nations Headquarters in New York or abroad, publishing press releases in French and English on its website.
