Programme of Work for July 2022
Brazil is the president of the Security Council in July. The Council adopted its provisional programme of work for the month earlier today (1 July).
Brazil has chosen to organise two signature events this month. It will convene a ministerial-level open debate on strategic communications in peacekeeping. Brazil’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Alberto Franco França is expected to chair the meeting. Secretary-General António Guterres will deliver remarks. The anticipated briefers are Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix; Force Commander for the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) Lieutenant General Marcos De Sá Affonso Da Costa; and Jenna Russo, Director of Research and Head of the Brian Urquhart Center for Peace Operations at the International Peace Institute (IPI). A presidential statement is a possible outcome.
