Slovenia Weekly: From Words to Action

This year's session of the UN General Assembly is taking place at a time marked by numerous armed conflicts, deepening geopolitical divisions and mounting pressure on international law and the multilateral system.

Throughout the session, Slovenia emphasised the importance of effective multilateralism, respect for the UN Charter and international law, as well as the responsibility of international institutions to turn agreed principles into tangible outcomes. Slovenia's key priorities include international peace and security, the protection of civilians, respect for international and humanitarian law, conflict prevention and human rights. Slovenia also supports efforts to reform the United Nations, making it stronger and more effective, so that it can respond promptly to international crises and deliver concrete results for people.

In his speech, Prime Minister Janez Janša called on the international community to replace words with action, to eliminate double standards in responding to global crises and to strengthen the UN's credibility through consistent respect for universal principles.

Sport remains an important part of everyday life for Slovenians. The Day of Slovenian Sport celebrates exercise, a healthy lifestyle and the positive impact of sport on individuals and society. Did you know that last year, as many as 81% of Slovenia's population were physically active at least once a week?
