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.

Rafael Gossi said, “Ukrainian nuclear sites from other places, the power grid’s capacity to provide reliable power supply,” had decreased due to damage caused by military attacks in November and December 2024. “

The direct attacks have complicated the functioning of the agency. Director General Rafael Gossesy mentioned a drone attack that severely damaged a vehicle of IAEA, during its regular circumference.

Referring to the constant risks faced by the employees of this agency, working under these unstable circumstances, he said, “Employees survived the unacceptable attack, but the rear of the vehicle was destroyed.”

For this site, the power supply from Digar places still remains weak.

The Director General of the agency has confirmed the continuous support of IAEA for Ukraine, despite the challenges.

Concerns on Iran’s nuclear program

Rafael Gosscy also expressed new concerns on Iran’s nuclear program, especially 60 percent of the reserves of uranium.

Iran is the only country that does not have nuclear weapons, but it is promoting uranium at this level, causing important concerns about the potential weapon development and construction.

Rafael Gosscy said, “Iran says it has announced all the nuclear materials, activities and places required under its NPT security agreement. However, this statement does not match the conclusions of the agency, agency’s conclusions of the uranium particles of anthropological origin at undeclared places in Iran.

The Director General emphasized the need for more transparency about Iran’s nuclear program, and also emphasized that to consider Iran’s nuclear activities to be peaceful, issues of unresolved security measures would be resolved.

Increasing role of nuclear energy

Rafael Gosscy also underlined the widespread initiatives of IAEA, including his recent visit to Japan’s Fukushima Daiyi Nuclear Power Station.

He has pointed to the growing role of nuclear power in meeting energy requirements, in view of increasing energy demand globally.

He said that according to IAEA estimates, by the year 2050, the global nuclear power generation capacity is expected to increase by two and a half times.

However, the Director General insisted that there should be continuous commitment for public support and safety with such an increase.

Volkar Turk told the Human Rights Council on Monday, “Our world is going through a period of unrest and unpredictableness, which is seen in growing wars and conflicts and divided societies.”

“We cannot let the fundamental global consensus to break in front of our eyes, about international norms and institutions, which has been made by hard work.”

War weapons

The United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner Volcker Turk, while presenting new information about the situations of more than 30 countries, shared the fact that legal safety measures are being ignored repeatedly for the people and sides who are not involved in the war.

Volkar Turk said, “The common people are being deliberately attacked. Sexual violence and famine are being used as a weapon of war.”

“Humanitarian aid is deprived of, arms are being sent beyond the boundaries and bypassing international restrictions. And humanitarian aid workers are targeted.”

“In the year 2024, some of the world’s most frightening crises in the world, providing assistance to the people, 356 human workers have been killed,” he said.

Unbearable price

The Human Rights High Commissioner, in Sudan, in areas with heavy population by the parties involved in the war, condemned the devastating bomb attacks carried out with full punishment.

He said that in the meantime, this worst human destruction of the world is deepening, which threatens regional stability, “The common people are paying unbearable price in the naked war for power and resources.”

“All countries will have to use their effects to prevent war, start inclusive dialogues and infection in the civil -leadership government, to pressurize the sides and their colleagues.”

People of Ukraine need peace

Volcar Turk opposed any peace agreement in which Ukraine is not included, citing the status of Ukraine.

Especially, he referenced Ukraine with an open disagreement between President Donold Trump and Volodimir Zelanski at the White House meeting on Friday, after openly disagreeing, Ukraine’s ambiguity about the United States getting future material support from the United States.

He said that even after three years of Russia’s ‘full -scale invasion’ on Ukraine, people are horrified… Ukraine people will have to be included in any discussion about ending the war and their human rights will have to be fully respected. Should be based on permanent peace, United Nations Charter and International Law. ”

Focus on Gaza ceasefire

The head of the United Nations emphasized that in the Palestinian region of Israel, Gaza has a delicate ceasefire “and is the foundation of peace”.

He also stressed that the help distribution in Gaza should start immediately resumed, just as Israel has announced to stop the assistance flow in the destroyed Gaza Strip.

He also proposed to extend the first phase of the ceasefire, which ended in the weekend and due to which, Israeli soldiers will be allowed to remain in Gaza.

United Nations Assistance Head Tom Flature expressed concern over the Israeli decision and said that the ceasefire “will have to remain”.

Tom Flature, in an online appeal: “International human law is clear: We must be allowed to provide important life -saving assistance. We cannot let the help progressed during the last 42 days to waste.

On the other hand, Volkar Turk said in the Human Rights Council, “Any solution to the cycles of violence should be inherent in human rights, including the right to self -determination, rule of law and accountability. All the hideouts have to be released; All those detained arbitrarily will have to be released; And humanitarian aid will have to be resumed immediately in Gaza. ”

Violence of violence in the west coast

The Human Rights High Commissioner Volkar Turk, showing the deepest concerns of humanists and human rights communities about Israeli military raids on the Palestinian settlements on the west coast, emphasized that Israel’s “unilateral action and violating international law, the threats of capture should be closed”.

He also condemned the use of Israel “military weapons and strategies including tanks and airstrikes against Palestinians”.

Equally worrying is “the destruction of refugee camps and emptying them, expansion of illegal settlements, strict restrictions on traffic and displacement of thousands of people”.

The Human Rights High Commissioner also presented information about the ongoing conflicts and wars in some other regions of the world including DRC, Myanmar, Heti, Yemen and Syria.

Tacc

Volcar Turk, warning, said that the rise of non -elected and irregular “TAC aristocratic system” is equally worrying, which shows a new global power landscape. He also urged the governments of the countries, to fulfill his primary purpose of keeping his people safe from uncontrolled power.

He said, “Today’s TAC aristocratic class,” our data: They know where we live, what we do, what are our genes and our health conditions, our thoughts, our habits, our wishes and our fear… and they know how we can manipulate us. “

In the city of Danipro, located in the central region of Ukraine, a young mother, with her five children, descends from a train. He has only a small bag. She is running away to avoid Russian attacks in Zaporizhia region, as well as running away from her partner, who used to beat her so badly that she had miscarried.

He needs immediate medical help, legal help and a safe place for his children. From 2022, Tatyan, who has been working as a psychologist in a mobile team, said, “We found that at the railway station. We arranged for them medical assistance and lawyers, so that they can get their documents and other related help. ”

Increase in trauma, mental stress and domestic violence

Tatyan’s team, Unfpa That is one of those 87 psychosis teams who are always ready for emergency help. She also provides help to the victims for a long time, employment training and legal assistance.

Even after avoiding violence, these resources prove to be very important for the victims, especially in a country where people are struggling with a three -year war, comprehensive mental trauma and deep psychological crisis.

Three years ago, since the full scale Russian invasion, in the incidents of intimate partner violence, domestic violence, sexual violence and gender -based violence Overflow growth Has happened

It is estimated that about 24 million people need immediate gender -based violence prevention and response services. Most of these are women and girls.

Tatyan says, “Even after getting a little physical protection in Danipro, many people struggle with the symptoms of nervousness, bad dreams and depression.”

Almost in Ukraine two third Family, anxiety, depression or excessive stress are facing problems, affecting people, finding employment or taking care of their family.

Financial scarcity, Widely losing employmentFear of death and future attacks of loved ones, are further increasing their mental stress. Without proper counseling and care, the brunt of psychological pain can also affect future generations, causing the community to suffer long -term and widespread damage.

Survival only onset

Roman joined the team as a social worker in Danipro in April 2022 and took care of coordination with social service institutions and public organizations.

He said that in cases of gender -based violence, he is often the first team to be active for assistance after police. “We have designed a supporting action system for people’s safety and assistance. We are a type of ambulance for sex -based violence events.”

These services, especially important for women who do not have stable income or housing. Many women are at risk of economic exploitation or new violence due to war.

Tatyan says, “Many people think that escape from the initial threat is the end of the story. But the actual treatment begins only when they are physically safe. Without psychosis, it is difficult for them to overcome trauma or to stop further damage. ”

In crisis situations, the risk of violence against women and girls increases, including sexual violence related to conflict. Also, the demand for security and retaliation increases rapidly. However, often displaced women are deprived of social networks to seek help, and if they report abuse, they are tarnished. In such cases, for the arrangement of safe accommodation, counseling or other necessary intervention by the police, assistance is taken from the mobile team.

Why are these services necessary

Since 2022, more than 50 mental-social support teams of UNFPA have been getting financial assistance from the US government.

These teams play an important role in helping Ukraine’s weakest people. Tatyan says, “Urban services work, but their influence and access are limited. Therefore, the mobile teams become very important, especially during the war, when a crowd of migrants throngs for help in front of us. “

The role of women in Ukraine’s comfort, workforce and broad society is extremely important, but they have suffered immense pain during many years of war. For long -term restoration of Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure individual re -re -re -renovation of women.

Worldwide Financial assistance for human action Due to the uncertainty prevailing about, these essential services are in danger.

6 lakh 40 thousand women and girls will be affected by the cuttings that will affect mental-social support, sex-based violence services, safe places, and economic strength programs. Security will be reduced for refugees and threatened communities.

Health services required for prevention of gender-based violence and reactive action, support given to women-linked organizations, and the economic strength programs of women are at risk of closing.

This can create a serious crisis on the safety and welfare of millions of people.
