UN: 60% of Syrians without Access to Safe Food - OCHA chief

But we have to move the UN Reports around. You will find them here in future: https://astrocohors-me.blogspot.com/2021/02/united-nations-live.html

Topic of this video: UN humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock told the Security Council that around 60 per cent of the Syrian population do not have regular access to enough safe and nutritious food, with an additional 4.5 million people having fallen into this category over the last year, warning that “the increase maybe shocking, but it cannot be said to be surprising.” Speaking to the Security Council today (25 Feb) with a video link, Lowcock said “Syria’s fragile economy has suffered multiple shocks over the past 18 months. The substantia depreciation of the Syrian Pound, which lost more than three quarters of its value over the past year, has been one of the visible effects of this.” The humanitarian chief explained that while the value of the Pound dropped, prices of food and other essential items increased by more than 200 per cent. And purchasing power has dwindled substantially as a result. Average household expenses now exceed average income by an estimated 20 per cent. He stated that the result is that millions of Syrians are resorting to desperate measures to survive. Lowcock said, “more than half a million children under five in Syria suffer from stunting as a result of chronic malnutrition, according to our latest assessments. We fear this number will increase.” He continued, “these problems are visible in many parts of the country but the situation is particularly bad in the north-west and the north-east, where nutrition surveillance data show that up to one in three children in some areas suffer from stunting. That effects this will have on their development and learning will be lifelong and irreversible.” Lowcock also said that UN is continuing its efforts to conduct a first cross-line mission into northwest Syria. The aim is not to have a one-off mission, but to have regular cross-line missions that complement the ongoing cross-border operation. He noted that a new operational plan is being developed to accommodate the concerns of the relevant parties. The humanitarian chief said, “The new proposal, which is in the process of being submitted, foresees a UN aid convoy crossing frontlines, and distributing aid in Atareb with appropriate involvement from local volunteers and other relevant partners, the precise details of which and composition of whom need to be agreed. We continue to discuss this but have yet to reach an agreement with all parties concerned. And without that, we will not be able to conduct the cross-line mission. Let me be absolutely clear: the UN is ready. We have been ready for a long time. What is needed now is wider agreement so that the first mission can go ahead.”

UN: "I Believe in Humanity" - Jean-Nicolas Beuze (Representative of UNHCR in Yemen) - Awake at Night

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: "[In Yemen] the situation is quite desperate. We have probably two thirds of the population which relies on our humanitarian assistance for their daily survival. We have half of the health facilities that have been destroyed by five years of the conflict. We have one person out of eight which has been displaced by the conflict. And the result of all that -- on top of the coronavirus, which is not even the main concern in terms of communicable disease, because we have cholera, we have malaria, we have chikungunya, we have dengue fever." In this episode of Awake at Night, Jean-Nicolas Beuze, Representative of the UN Refugee Agency in Yemen, speaks with Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, about the disparity between the Western world's outlook and the harsh realities most of the Yemeni people face “The Western world worries about the Coronavirus. Yemen cannot even afford to worry about it because we have [several grave communicable diseases] plus, there is a famine.” In a deeply personal interview about his career helping refugees and victims of torture, he describes being driven by the “denial of their human rights” and that “injustice was something I could not accept”. He also reveals fearing for the first time for his own loved ones who face the dangers of COVID-19 back home.

UN: Ghana gets COVID-19 vaccines from global COVAX facility

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: Six hundred thousand doses of lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine from the UN-partnered COVAX initiative have arrived in Ghana: a historic first for the international partnership to provide equitable inoculations for all. “Today we are very happy to receive the first batch of COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX facility,” said Anne-Claire Dufay, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Representative in Ghana. These are the first coronavirus shots from the COVAX scheme to be distributed outside India, where the vaccine is being produced under license. The COVAX Facility plans to deliver close to two billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines this year.

UN: UN Chief on the "Call to Action for Human Rights"

UN: Ghana/COVAX, Human Rights, Myanmar & other topics - Daily Briefing (24 February 2021)

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Secretary-General - Secretary-General Call To Action For Human Rights - Myanmar - Rohingya - Yemen - FSO Safer - Central African Republic - WFP Tribute - Ghana - Mozambique - Mexico - Costa Rica - Colombia - Ecuador - Children/School Meals - Noon Briefing Guests - Financial Contribution SECRETARY-GENERAL The government of Portugal has written to the President of the General Assembly and the President of the Security Council, officially nominating António Guterres as a candidate for a second term as Secretary-General. The Secretary-General is grateful and humbled by this support and will do everything he can to be worthy of that trust. SECRETARY-GENERAL CALL TO ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Earlier today, the Secretary-General, in a briefing on his Call to Action for Human Rights, said in the General Assembly, the health crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has quickly turned into an economic crisis, a humanitarian crisis, and a human rights crisis. He added that we now have a unique and historic opportunity to forge a world where every person is afforded dignity; where every society can withstand crises; and where everyone’s future is built upon a foundation of inalienable rights. He listed progress accomplished since the Call to Action was launched last year, but he said that our enduring challenge is to transform the promise of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into real-world change on the ground. Transformative change will take the full commitment and support from everyone, he added. MYANMAR The UN team in Myanmar is gravely concerned that the recent events will jeopardize the COVID-19 vaccination effort that is underway. Our colleagues say that Myanmar had developed a robust, meticulous national deployment and vaccination plan. It had already vaccinated 105,000 health workers as of 31 January. Also on Myanmar, the UNICEF team in the country said today that it is alarmed by the continued use of excessive force against children by security forces during ongoing demonstrations. Earlier this week, on February 22nd, a five-year-old child was seriously wounded in Kachin State when he was reportedly shot by a member of security forces using a slingshot. As we told you earlier this week, a child was killed by security forces in Mandalay over the weekend. UNICEF is once again calling on security forces to refrain from violence, to exercise maximum restraint and for differences to be resolved through constructive and peaceful means, prioritizing the protection and safety of children and young people. ROHINGYA There are reports that a ship carrying Rohingya refugees is in distress in the Andaman Sea. The International Organization for Migration today called on countries in the region to meet their international obligations and to ensure that all people onboard are immediately rescued and safely disembarked. The vessel has been at sea for more than 10 days and there has reportedly been loss of life on board. IOM once again stresses that saving lives must be a top priority and that a lasting regional solution to a regional problem must be found.

UN: Supermodel Natalia Vodianova - New UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador & UN Daily Press Briefing (24 Feb 2021)

UN: Experts accuse Iran of rights violations in shooting down Ukraine airlines flight

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: Press Conference on the findings of Ms.Agnès Callamard, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions, investigation into the 8 January 2020 shooting down of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 in Iran, along with Ms. Caroline Horn, Senior Legal Adviser to Ms. Callamard. Iran committed multiple human rights violations in shooting down Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 that killed all of the 176 passengers and crew onboard, as well as in the aftermath of the deadly attack, according to a UN Human Rights expert. “Inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and gaps in the official explanation create a maximum of confusion and thus seem to be contrived to mislead in one or more ways,” Agnes Callamard, the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, said in a virtual press briefing on Tuesday (23 Feb). “As for the admitted mistakes, these indicate a reckless, if not criminal disregard for standard procedures, and a principle of precaution, which should have been implemented to the fullest, given the circumstances, and the location of the unit,” Callamard said. On 8 January 2020, an Iran Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) air defence TOR unit fired two missiles at the Ukrainian plane en route from Tehran to Kiev, killing all those on board. The strike took place in the context of heightened tensions following the United States' targeted killing of Iran's General Soleimani a few days earlier in Iraq and Iran's subsequent retaliations on US bases in that country. “I undertook six months long inquiry into the killings of those onboard PS752. And in December last year, I wrote to the Iranian government detailing my observation and posing questions about the strike. I have yet to receive a response.” Callamard said. The 45-page letter, highlighting multiple violations of international law by the Iranian authorities, most crucially violations of the right to life of the 176 passengers and crew, remained confidential for 60 days in accordance with Human Rights Council policy for such communications to States. “The authorities failed to investigate the strike in line with international standards. The investigation was not prompt. For three days after the killings, the government of Iran continued to deny that the flight had been shut down and insisted instead that the crash was caused by fire,” Callamard said. According to the Iranian investigation, flight PS752 was intentionally but mistakenly targeted by IRGC military personnel, who mistook the civilian aircraft for an incoming US missile that posed an imminent threat. However, Callamard’s report suggests that “high level officials, knew within a matter of hours that the flight had been hit by a missile fired by an Iranian crew. It also appears that evidence was destroyed and not protected well as it could have been. There are allegations that bulldozers were used at the site, and that the crash loan was not protected from looters.” Callamard's letter detailed a large number of contradictions with Iran's explanations, including the fact that Iran alleges that an error in the alignment of the mobile missile unit contributed to the mistaken targeting, but it has not provided any explanation as to why this radar miscalibration occurred, why it had not been detected, and how it led to the targeting. Iran also did not explain why the IRGC failed to follow the most basic standard procedures, such as monitoring altitude, climb or descent rate and airspeed to evaluate unknown radar tracks, evaluating the target's size, or checking the target visually. Even without an Identification Friend or Foe system in the unit itself, failsafe measures should have been instituted to ensure that transponder or other tracking data was accurately and promptly provided to the mobile missile system crew. Iran failed to explain how information about cleared civilian flights was communicated to IRGC units, a critical step to ensure the safety of civilian aircraft and one that clearly failed. Contrary to the IRGC Aerospace Force Commander allegation that the unit had only 10 seconds to decide to fire, it would appear that the unit had at least a 45-second decision window and possibly more time to evaluate the target. No information is provided on why other flights that took off that night, before PS752, were not targeted. Those failures were further compounded by the Iranian Government's refusal, over three days, to admit that the plane had been shot down by its military, even though high placed authorities knew almost immediately what had occurred.

UN: "2021 is a make-or-break year for collective action against the climate emergency" - UN Chief

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: " (...) Much more needs to be done to address the specific risks the climate crisis poses to peace and security. I see four priority areas. First, we need a greater focus on prevention through strong, ambitious climate action. We must get the world on track to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and avoid climate catastrophe. We must create a truly global coalition to commit to net-zero emissions by the middle of the century. And we must mobilize a decade of transformation through a successful COP26 in Glasgow. That requires all Member States to present, well before November, ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions with targets that will allow us to cut global emissions by 45 percent by 2030 from 2010 levels. We are also asking all companies, cities and financial institutions to prepare concrete and credible decarbonization plans. We still have a long way to go, and we look to the major emitters to lead by example in the coming months. This is a credibility test of their commitment to people and planet. It is the only way we will keep the 1.5-degree goal within reach. Second, we need immediate actions to protect countries, communities and people from increasingly frequent and severe climate impacts. We need a breakthrough on adaptation and resilience, which means dramatically raising the level of investments. All donors and multilateral and national Development Banks must increase the share of adaptation and resilience finance to at least 50 per cent of their climate finance support. And we must make these funds accessible to those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Developed countries must keep their pledge of channeling $100 billion annually to the Global South. They have already missed the deadline of 2020. We need to scale up early warning systems and early action on climate-related crises, from droughts and storms to the emergence of zoonotic diseases. We also need stronger social protection to support those impacted. These actions must start now, with transformative policies as we emerge from the pandemic. Economic and financial systems must incorporate climate risk into financial analysis, so that it is captured in business models and investment decisions. We must invest in renewable energy and green infrastructure. In short, we must close the finance gap by increasing support to the countries and communities that are suffering the worst impacts of the climate crisis. That support must reach women and girls, who bear the brunt of the climate crisis; and constitute eighty percent of those displaced by climate change. Third, we need to embrace a concept of security that puts people at its centre. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the devastation that so-called non-traditional security threats can cause, on a global scale. Preventing and addressing the poverty, food insecurity and displacement caused by climate disruption contributes to sustaining peace and reducing the risk of conflict. The Nobel Committee recognized this when it awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to the World Food Programme last year. Respect for human rights, particularly women’s rights, the rule of law, inclusion and diversity, are fundamental to solving the climate crisis and creating more peaceful and stable societies. The 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals are the global blueprint for action. Mr. President, Fourth, we need to deepen partnerships across and beyond the United Nations system. We must leverage and build on the strengths of different stakeholders, including this Council, the Peacebuilding Commission, international financial institutions, regional organizations, civil society, the private sector, academia and others. The Climate Security Mechanism, which brings together the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Environment Programme, is a blueprint for such collaboration within the United Nations System. As we work to deliver these goals, the United Nations is striving to lead by example by making sure our own operations take full account of the climate crisis. We are working to ensure that our mediation strategies, analysis and reporting, including to this Council, consistently reflect climate risks. In South Sudan, for example, an awareness of the impact of climate change helped our peacekeeping operation to mediate a local agreement on cattle management. In Yemen, the Peacebuilding Fund supported efforts to restore and strengthen local water governance structures, reducing intercommunal tensions. We are also reducing the United Nations’ environmental footprint, including through the increased use of renewable energy. (...) 2021 is a make-or-break year for collective action against the climate emergency(...)" - António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General [Excerpt] Full Remarks [as delivered]: https://bit.ly/3aNjgwl

UN: 'Growing political tensions threaten Somalia’s state-building progress' - Security Council Briefing

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: The Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), today (22 Feb) told the Security Council that “growing political tensions threaten Somalia’s state-building progress and even security unless they are resolved through dialogue and compromise in the interest of the country.” Briefing via video teleconference (VTC), James Swan, who is also the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Somalia, said, “unfortunately, instead we are seeing increased brinkmanship, pressure tactics, and tests of strength that can only heighten risks.” The political standoff, he said, “has blocked implementation of the electoral model agreed by the Federal Government of Somalia President and Federal Member State leaders on 17 September 2020.” Swan said the consensus-based 17 September model “offers the best available option to proceed quickly to an electoral process for selection of members of parliament, senators, and the president” and would “minimize further delays in Somalia’s four-year transition cycle, ensure that the chosen national leaders have a clear mandate and are widely accepted, and allow the country to turn its attention from the current political competition to other vital national priorities in the interest of its people.” He said, “the Somali people have waited a long time to see progress, and it remains fragile,” and urged Somalia’s political leaders “to pull back from confrontation and avoid risky winner-take-all tactics.”

UN: Attack on WFP in DRC, SG/Human Rights Council & other topics - Daily Briefing (22 February 2021)

Official global announcement of the United Nations. The UN feature videos on a wide range of global topics including current news, peace and security, social and economic development, human rights, climate change and more.
Topic of this video: Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Democratic Republic Of The Congo - Human Rights Council - Environment - Climate - Myanmar - Yemen - Ethiopia - Security Council/Somalia - Haiti - Cabo Verde/Covax - Press Briefing Today - Press Briefing Tomorrow - Contributions DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO The Secretary-General strongly condemns today’s attack against a joint field mission of the World Food Programme (WFP) in Kibumba, near Goma. The attack was perpetrated by unidentified armed combatants. The attack resulted in the killing of three people, including the Italian Ambassador to the DRC, his bodyguard and a WFP national staff member. The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the families of the deceased, as well as to the Governments of Italy and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He further expresses his solidarity with the World Food Programme colleagues and the entire United Nations team in the country. The Secretary-General calls on the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to investigate swiftly this heinous targeting of a UN joint field mission and to bring the perpetrators to justice. He reaffirms that the United Nations will continue to support the Congolese Government and people in their efforts to bring about peace and stability, especially in the east of the country. HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL Speaking in a video message at the opening of the 46th session of the Human Rights Council, the Secretary-General said the pandemic has deepened pre-existing divides, vulnerabilities and inequalities. The failure to ensure equity in vaccination efforts, he added, is the latest moral outrage. Vaccine equity affirms human rights. Vaccine nationalism denies it. Turning to the issue of racism, Mr. Guterres called for global coordinated action to defeat the grave and growing danger of resurgent neo-Nazism, white supremacy, as well as racially and ethnically motivated terrorism. He also called for a special focus on safeguarding the rights of minority communities and we continue to push for policies that fully respect human rights, religious, cultural and unique human identity, he added. Ending on a positive note, the Secretary-General said the pandemic recovery gives us an opportunity to generate momentum for transformation. Now is the time to recover better, guided by human rights and human dignity for all, he concluded. ENVIRONMENT This morning, the Secretary-General also spoke by pre-recorded video message to the opening session of the UN Environment Assembly. He said governments and people need to understand in their very DNA that all environmental, social and economic challenges are interlinked, and they must be tackled together. The Secretary-General stressed that we have no choice but to transform how our economies and societies value nature. We must put the health of the planet at the centre of our plans and policies. Mr. Guterres also told participants of the Assembly that the UN is doing everything it can to support all UN meetings that are occurring virtually this year, including the biodiversity summit, scheduled for Kunming, China, and the COP26 Glasgow, in Great Britain, to ensure that all countries can participate in negotiations. “We all know that words are not enough. Commitments must be underpinned by clear and credible plans.” Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=22%20February%202021
