• The UNGA high-level General Debate started on September 23 and concludes on September 29.
• Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva spoke first, followed by US President Donald Trump, adhering to tradition.
• This year's theme is "Better Together: 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights," with key agendas including Palestinian statehood, climate change, AI, global food crises, and various conflicts worldwide.
• Palestine's representatives are participating via video after being denied a US visa, a move the UN deems a violation of the Host Country Agreement.
