The 73rd UN General Assembly (UNGA 73) opens for its 193 member countries at UN Headquarters in Midtown East, Manhattan on Tuesday, September 18, 2018.

The high-level General Debate starts Tuesday, September 25, 2018 and ends about two weeks later on Friday, October 5, 2018. The big shots come in this second week.

During the General Debate, traffic in Midtown East is terrible and security is tight. Expect street closures and no parking. It’s better to avoid driving in Midtown East at this time.


73rd UN General Assembly (UNGA 73)

The UN has the best acronyms. “UNGA…”

María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés

Ecuadorian poet and diplomat María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés is UNGA 73 President-elect.

She is the first Latin American woman to lead the Assembly, and the fourth woman ever to do so. She has published five books of poetry and is an Ecuadorian National Poetry Prize winner (1990).

We have great hopes for her experience in government negotiations on human rights, indigenous women and climate change.
