The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is the principal policy-making body of the United Nations.
The General Assembly is an opportunity for the world to come together to address the most pressing global challenges facing us today.
At the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 77), the United States will reinforce the President’s commitment to multilateral action by actively engaging in all UNGA events and activities.

Policy priority
The United States believes the United Nations provides an important platform to help address some of the most pressing and common challenges that affect us all, from global food security to global health crises. I’m here.
We will continue to work with and through the United Nations system to find solutions to these challenges.
The United States also supports the shaping of a future United Nations that, in this moment of heightened geopolitical tensions, we can all fulfill our mandate and remain a central and effective problem-solving body. We recognize that we have a role to play.
With that in mind, the United States is focusing on three key policy priorities for the 77th session of the UN General Assembly. Fighting food insecurity, promoting global health and global health security, upholding the Charter of the United Nations and shaping the future of the United Nations.
Fighting food insecurity
food security Eating sufficient amounts of safe, nutritious foods.
Food insecurity can destabilize societies, increase hunger and malnutrition, trigger migration and conflict, and cause severe economic disruption. The number of people affected by food insecurity continues to grow, and 2022 is expected to be the most food-insecure year on record in the world.
Rising energy costs, climate change, COVID-19 and global conflict are fueling food crises.
Russia’s Unjustified Invasion of Ukraine Made an Already Bad Situation Worse — Preventing the most vulnerable and most at risk from accessing the food they desperately need.
The World Bank estimates that Russia’s unilateral invasion of Ukraine could push an additional 40 million people into extreme poverty and food insecurity worldwide this year.Read here for more information Food insecurity exacerbated by Putin’s war, not sanctions.
Consistent with the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence, the United States is committed to working with the international community and the United Nations to address the drivers of food insecurity, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the proliferation of armed groups. I’m here. Conflict.

The Charter proclaimed the United Nations’ commitment to uphold peace and international security and to support human rights.
Today, the United Nations includes almost every country in the world and has 193 member states.
We must reaffirm the importance of the Charter in international affairs as part of a broader vision for the future of the United Nations and the international system.
The Secretary-General’s ‘Our Common Challenges’ report has provided UN member states with a starting point for that debate, and the Secretary-General has urged world leaders to take up the debate at the ‘Future Summit’ . I welcome the Secretary-General to take this initiative.
We seek to share and seek responses to our own ideas, as well as to better understand how they see the way forward, especially across traditional regional divides. We look forward to consulting with these Member States.
Consistent with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, we must recommit: hold Russia accountable Condemns continuing efforts to start an illegal war against Ukraine and erase Ukrainian identity, including Russian filtering operations and attempts to illegally annex parts of Ukrainian territory.
We must take this opportunity to reaffirm ourselves Support Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence —as protected under the United Nations Charter—at the same time, it seeks to prepare the foundations for an eventual diplomatic process to deal with the ill effects of this war and bring it to an end.
