Obstruction of support efforts

Strike on gender equality

Under General Secretary Tom Flature alerted before International Day on 8 March that sexual equality efforts in Yemen are deliberately furious.

The only way to move forward

The United States has identified Houthi fighters as a foreign terrorist organization, which is proving to be complicated international cooperation in peace efforts.

Special messenger Hans Grundberg said that the priests will have to keep a place safe with the intention of arbitration efforts for citizens, a fair and inclusive peace is important under the UN.

Hans Gundberg reiterated that he is ready to bring all the parties together to end this violent conflict that has been going on for more than a decade. He stressed that in any political process, Yemeni citizens of diverse background have to be included.

According to the special messenger, it is possible to achieve this, but it will need a favorable environment. It is important that we should not be weak in our resolve in realizing it for millions of Yemeni citizens.

The future of humanity is dependent on investment in machinery for peace – UN General Secretary


This International Day, celebrated on 5 March every year, is an opportunity to reduce weapons and promote peace, so that global resolutions can be strengthened to achieve these goals.

In the same year, there is a 55th anniversary of the Treaty (NPT) on the indispension of nuclear weapons, which is a very important agreement focused on promoting the spread of nuclear weapons and promoting peaceful use of nuclear power.

Despite the long -term agreements, nuclear threats have been increasing in the world, spreading small weapons, and the use of technology such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing is also increasing threats.

At the same time, the initiatives for protecting from disarmament and deadly weapons have weakened, due to which the danger has grown for global insecurity.

The UN chief has appealed to the world leaders that existing arrangements and measures will have to be strengthened to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, prevent fatal weapons testing and use and to fulfill disarmament obligations.

Strength on resolutions

The non -proliferation treaty was signed in the year 1968 and has been in force since 1970. This is a foundation stone for nuclear disarmament, in which 191 member countries have resolved to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

However, the challenges are intact, especially in the context of growing bruised stress. At the same time, some countries are still not part of this treaty framework.

Last year, the future consent letter was passed during the future conference held at the UN headquarters, which has been strongly resolved for nuclear disarmament, the rule system is considered necessary for the race to use space as a weapon and for fatal autonomous weapons.

Empowerment of future generations

UN is constantly trying to increase the participation of youth in disarmament efforts. In this connection, two new opportunities have been launched on Wednesday: Youth Leader Fund program and Fellowship for Biological Safety Initiative.

Through these initiatives, the youth are being encouraged to play their role in shaping a more secure future.

General Secretary Guterresh said that this is the time when leaders will have to convert their words into action, invest in disarmament solutions and give everyone a peaceful future, which they are entitled.

HRC: Expectations of better future of Syria people, dependent on justice for missing people

Yasmin Alashan, the founder member of the ‘Caesar Familys Association’, lost five of his six brothers during the early years of the Syrian civil war, between 2012 and 2014.

A decade ago, Bashar al -Assad’s government refused to allow the exhibition of Caesar files during the Human Rights Council.

It had heartbreaking pictures of the prisoners sent out after smuggling from Syria. In those pictures, there were clear marks of torturing those prisoners.

Yasmin Alashan has earlier told how his second brother was arrested in March 2012 and then harassed at the custody center.

He was identified in Caesar files – named after Caesar, a former Syrian military photographer.

It was due to the frequent lobbying of this Syrian non-governmental organization, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution 77/301 in June 2023, in which an independent institute for the missing people in Syria was established and the participation of the victims was ensured in the work of this institute.

Focus on previous atrocities

United Nations Human Rights Head Volcar Turk welcomed the efforts to find solutions to previous atrocities, for the sake of benefiting future generations, for the future generations.

Call for prevention of massacre

United Nations Human Rights Deputy Chief Nada Al-Nashif on Wednesday warned the member countries that the principles of international law protecting humanity from atrocities are in danger.

He said that before the massacre, there are “clear trends and trends of” breed, ethnicity, religion or other characteristics, boycotting people and promoting hatred against them.

Global norms are under pressure

Nada Al-Nashif said, “The global criteria that protect all of us are under unprecedented pressure in which UN Charter And involves universal declaration of human rights. “

He stressed that the United Nations was established after the massacre, such as Holocast, to avoid the massacre.

Gaza bandage: Israeli restriction on human aid, risk for needy population


The UN agency on Wednesday pointed out that the Gaza Strip had a large -scale humanitarian aid material to the Gaza Strip on Wednesday 19 January.

Despite this, the situation is very serious due to the war that continued for the last 15 months and the devastation caused by it, and huge requirements are intact. During the violent confrontation, the support supplies of the Israeli military forces were often not allowed to go to Gaza, or there were obstructions in their way.

Giving information from Gaza, Communications Officer Rosalia at UNICEF said that other important medical items and equipment including vaccine, vantilator are not being transported there, which can have horrific results for children and their parents.

He said in a conversation with UN News that if we are unable to deliver these medical goods there, then the regular vaccination campaign will be completely stalled. The care of children born ahead of time will be difficult, whose consequences can be revealed.

Rosalia Balan said that the supply delivered here has been broadly distributed and hence the supply of relief material will have to be started as soon as possible.

“The requirements are so high that we have not been able to store the goods … and so these latest bandis are extremely disturbing.”

According to the UNICEF official, the first phase of the ceasefire was not only a stagnation in violent conflict, but it was a lifeline for local families.

“The atmosphere here is full of depression; The families I talked to, they are very concerned about what is going to happen in the future. ”

Partial improvement in nutrition status

Business on humanitarian aid supply in Gaza is set up at a time when UN Humanitarian Office (OCHAAccording to), it was possible to provide a wide variety of food to the local population.

UN aid workers warned that but on the progress made so far, there is a risk of rebuke from this ban.

Malnutrition cases were almost negligible before the violent conflict in Gaza started, but now more than three thousand children, and more than a thousand pregnant and breastfeeding women are being treated.

The UN office, citing the assessment of its partners, said that about eight percent of the children are consuming four or more food groups. For them, more fruits, vegetables, eggs and dairy products are available for them and they can also be purchased in local markets.

Since the implementation of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, other aid organizations including UNICEF have sent the necessary medical goods to the children and their parents in a large scale. Also, after the damage to public establishments, efforts are being made to repair them.

Rosalia Balan said that water production is being increased, especially in the northern part. Water wells are being repaired and now focus will be focused on the distribution system, but due to lack of assistance, all these works will come to a standstill.

With the ‘fast expansion’ of synthetic drugs, illegal markets are getting new size


The 2024 annual report released on Tuesday by the United Nations has stated that unlike plants based on drugs, these substances can be made anywhere without the need for large -scale cultivation.

This makes it easier and cheaper for smugglers to produce and distribute them.

With the existence of powerful drugs such as Fantanil and Knightzen, this crisis has become worse, causing record high deaths. Its smaller doubt is also powerful enough to cause excessive amounts.

INCB President Jalal Taufiq has said, “The rapid expansion of the illegal synthetic drugs industry is a major global public health threat with possible devastating consequences for mankind.”

He further said, “We need to work together to take strong action against this fatal problem, which is causing countless damage to the communities, apart from the deaths of hundreds of people.”

Smugglers remain ahead of rules

Criminal groups are constantly molding themselves to avoid law enforcement.

They, by taking advantage of legal flaws, develop new synthetic formulas and use artificial intelligence (AI), to find alternative chemicals for the production of drugs.

New ways of smuggling, making it difficult to detect these drugs, including drones and posting to the goods addresses.

As a result, the seizure of synthetic drugs, now is proving to be far more difficult than traditional plant-based drugs such as heroin and cocaine.

Drugs out of access

On the one hand, synthetic drugs are full of illegal markets, while in low and moderate income countries, millions of people still do not have the necessary painkillers.

The report highlights that in areas such as Africa, South Asia and Central America, pain relieving drugs like morphine are not available and this condition is not due to its store reduction, but due to obstacles in distribution and regulation.

INCB has urged the producing countries of opium -based analgesic drugs to increase their production and strength to improve pain prevention services.

Regional locations concerned

Many such areas have been identified in the report where smuggling of synthetic drugs is increasing.

After Afghanistan’s ban on opium in 2022, more consumers may move towards synthetic drug options due to heroin deficiency.

Whereas in North America, despite the efforts to prevent crisis, deaths related to the use of synthetic drugs, remain at a high level.

The manufacture, smuggling and use of stimulating drugs of amphemine-type in the Middle East and Africa is increasing, where to avoid them, treatment and rehabilitation services are often insufficient.

Meanwhile, in the Asia-Pacific region, smuggling of methamfetamine and ketamine is increasing, especially in the golden triangle region.

Call for immediate action

The INCB has urged governments to strengthen international cooperation, improve data sharing ways and prevent drugs and expand treatment services.

The Commission says that to prevent the expansion of synthetic drugs, without taking decisive action, its trade will continue to grow, which will put more people’s lives at risk.

DRC: 80 thousand citizens left the country amidst violence, sexual violence


Patrick Abiba, Deputy Director of International Protection Division at the UN Agency, said that cases of sexual violence and human rights violations are constantly coming out on the close fronts of the fight. Local people are being looted in homes and businesses and they are being wasted.

The rebellious factions M3 are fighting with government security forces on the North Kivu and South Kivu provinces located in the eastern part of the Kango Democratic Republic, and M33 fighters have taken many areas under their control.

Unhcr The officer told reporters in Geneva that there is instability in both these provinces, more than 80 thousand people have become homeless to save their lives due to armed conflict and since January since January, more than 60 thousand people have entered Burundi.

According to the UN refugee agency, 895 cases of rape were registered in the last two weeks of February, which shows an average of 60 cases in a day.

Apart from sexual violence, local citizens are also facing the risk of getting into the grip of the residue of explosive material, especially the children and farmers engaged in taking care of their fields.

UN Humanitarian Office (OCHA)) On Monday, the armed fighters attacked at least two hospitals in Goma, the capital of North Kivu and kidnapped a large number of patients.

Humanitarian aid efforts for homeless, displaced people have also been affected due to the fight. World Food Program ,WfpAccording to) According to the violent conflict, the assistance campaign has been forced to stop.

However, in some parts of North Kivu, emergency food assistance has been resumed, under which food items will be distributed to about two lakh people.

Forced incidents of evacuation from home

There is a large movement of population in North Kivu and South Kivu provinces. The reason for this is the orders given by the M23 rebellious faction to leave the camps located near Goma to the interversely displaced people.

Due to insecurity in Eastern DRC, there is a possibility of crossing the border of many others in search of security and refuge.

The UN agency has stated that the citizens of DRC, who are running away from violent conflict, and the citizens outside the country are from the violence affected areas, may require refugee protection, according to the international and regional legal framework.

The organization has stressed that the decision to return voluntarily in violent affected areas will have to be decided on the basis of adequate information.

Exemption from ban on assistance money

When asked about the ban imposed by the US on humanitarian aid money, Uzin Biun, a UN refugee agency spokesman, said that some emergency countries have been exempted from this ban for 90 days. Among them, there is also a democratic republic of Kango.

DRC, full of mineral wealth, has been burning in crisis for the last several decades, where the availability of funds for the humanitarian aid campaign has been challenging.

The UNHCR spokesperson hoped that his organization would continue to support the needy among the emergency in the country.

Africa has more than 1 million DRC refugees in many countries, most of which are from neighboring countries. More than five lakh of these are in Uganda, while in January, thousands of people have taken refuge in Burundi after the attacks of M33 fighters.

Prior to the current crisis, 67 lakh people were displaced from their homes within the DRC boundaries.

Kiran Bedi’s journey of first UN woman advisor

Indian Police Service in 1972 ( Indian Police Service (IPS)) For the first time, a female officer, Kiran Bedi was appointed as an officer. This is one of the countless achievements in his career. Shortly after joining IPS, Kiran Bedi won the President’s Police Medal in 1979. Then in 1994, he was awarded the Raman Magsay Award for his prison reforms in Delhi in 1994.

In 2003, Kiran Bedi was appointed as Police Advisor in the UN.

In a conversation with UN News, Dr. Kiran Bedi said that in the year 2000, when the Security Council proposal 1325, in all peace and security efforts, a provision was made to increase the participation of women, then a phone from the Ministry of External Affairs of India changed the direction of their career.

Kiran Bedi, refreshing some sweet memories from the window of memories, says, “One day I received a call from a joint secretary from the Ministry of External Affairs. He said that under the proposal 1325 of the United Nations Security Council, a new opportunity has been opened to include women in peace. This is a very good opportunity for India, and you will be a suitable candidate from our country. ” He asked him to fill the application for this post and prepare for examination for selection.

Kiran Bedi says, “It was difficult, but there was a tremendous direction. The result of the examination was to come, not fail, had to pass for the country. “

So he worked hard with these feelings. He had an online interview from New York. Was a strict competition. There were many AI commissioners in other participants, who had already worked in peacekeeping campaigns. And all were men. “

She was the first woman and first Indian to be appointed as Police Advisor in the United Nations.

Family responsibilities

She says that in the interview, I was asked a question that if you are selected for this post, then who will take care of your family?

He immediately replied, “My family will take care of himself.”

And perhaps this big question about women, this was the big obstacle, which she managed to break and move forward. “I was selected after about a month and a half. This was a significant turn in my career. “

Then she came to New York to work in the United Nations and started visiting many countries while working in peacekeeping missions.

She explains, “I had 16 peacekeeping missions, and more than 80 officers were from Sweden, some from Nepal, some from Germany, some from France – I had a big diverse team. It took time to understand everyone, but very soon we became a team. “

As a team, he carried out many tasks related to peace -defense – established laws somewhere, trained somewhere, started schools somewhere, and taught forensic science somewhere. “I had experience in public administration. Also worked in libraries, and the UN Shantiraksha Mission had a big role in advancing democracy. ”

Doctor Kiran Bedi's UN peacekeeping journey was unmatched.

“Every week I had to go somewhere. There was no time to sleep. But I got to learn a lot. I saw havoc everywhere. Children were becoming soldiers, women were insecure. Neither was there any protecting women, nor women were police, nor locally, nor globally. ”

“I saw there how strong the woman police needed. If there are no women in a community, then many problems will remain. “

Then he returned to India and raised this thing in front of the government that there are such a large number of qualified women in India, are also in CRPF, are also in the police, are also in BSF, are also in ITBP, are also in Rapid Action Force.

“Then why don’t we send them for peace. When the world needs us, why should we stay behind? “

The government obeyed them and that day is and today. Today, India remains a leader serving in important missions with more than 150 women peacekeepers, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan, Lebanon and Golan hills.

The path opened from the police advisor, and gradually more women started coming into peace.

Kiran Bedi, achieving success in a male dominant role, paved new routes for women.

Initial challenges

Kiran Bedi gives all the credit for her success to her parents. “He made me the champion of tennis, taught him well, carried forward, and in such a way that I could make my decisions myself.”

“The house is a helipad for me, from where I have been flying. I made my house the basis of my flight and always moved forward. “

At that time, in the male dominated society, seeing a female police officer, it was not easy to accept them. “But wherever I went, people accepted me.”

“People in India recognized and accepted me,” but they had to work hard to make their place at the international level. She says, “One is the youngest, thinner and then a woman from a brown skin.”

He told that it took time but gradually people started becoming confident. But once this process started, then he did not look back. “

Kiran Bedi gives credit for her success, hard work and unwavering support of her family.

Importance of women in peacekeeping campaigns

Kiran Bedi believes that no peaceful woman and man is possible without both men. “You also want weapons, hearts, and also want mind. So, those who can drive weapons, run weapons, and those who can give ‘healing touch’ by applying mind and heart, play this role. ”

He believes that with the arrival of women, UN peacekeepers have been completely integrated. “That is why peace construction is now moving in a new direction.”

“You want all kinds of people. People who can use power, but can listen, cooperate, and work together. This is the reason why it is important to form a balanced team. Only one point of view will not work. “

Doctor Kiran Bedi believes that women (from peaceful process) mean ignoring a large part of the population.

From leadership to the face of peacekeeping

Although even today, women are at the second level in peace, very few women are seen in leadership roles.

Kiran Bedi says, “If they get more opportunities under the leadership, then the thinking will change, acceptance will increase, and the reputation of UN peace will also be strong.”

She says that as the nature of struggles is changing, she is confident that women will play a very important role in restoration of peace in the coming years.
