This analysis discusses specific issues regarding the proposal for a Directive on the transparency of third-country lobbying. It highlights complex questions in relation to civil society organisations and the need for uniform implementation and effective judicial protection. If designed and implemented well, the Directive could establish a transparent framework for foreign governments to engage in lobbying within the EU.

The first 10 years of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) have been marked by minimalistic progress. The unfinished nature of the CMU has direct relevance for the ECB by affecting financing conditions in Member States and eroding the risk-sharing ability of the EMU, imposing a higher burden on the ECB to act as “the only game in town”. It has even bigger implications for the long-term investment opportunities and economic performance of the EU. This calls for a renewed approach and narrative on the CMU to gather political support to move forward.

Energy supply security is often defined as the availability of an adequate supply of energy at a reasonable cost. Even a partial supply disruption can have severe consequences, which the European Union has experienced on several occasions. Over the years, energy market developments have affected the EU’s economic situation time and again, from the 1970s oil crisis to the 2009 gas crisis and 2022 energy price crisis following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. With the exception of coal, the EU’s energy resources are limited, leaving it particularly vulnerable to disruption, particularly for oil and gas supplies. The EU has a relatively high dependency on energy imports (62.5 % in 2022) and this rate has been increasing since 1990. The EU has built a legislative framework to ensure the security of its energy supplies. The electricity sector is subject to a regulation on risk-preparedness that mandates Member States to implement tools for preventing and managing potential electricity crises – and to work together once such crises occur. The Oil Stocks Directive requires Member States to hold a minimum reserve and inform the European Commission about the stock they hold. The EU Regulation concerning measures to safeguard the security of gas supply (‘Security of Gas Supply Regulation’) introduces a solidarity mechanism between Member States and a supply standard ensuring continuous gas supply to protected customers. Despite this comprehensive framework, significant challenges remain on the road towards a fully-fledged EU energy security strategy. The planned revision of the EU regulation, expected for 2025, could provide the impetus to adapt the existing security framework to new challenges resulting from the decarbonisation of the energy market and new import patterns. The security framework could be broadened to reflect a new way of perceiving energy supply security, based not only on energy sources, but also on the ability to produce energy domestically (including through renewable energy). The issue of energy security will likely remain a long-term challenge for the EU. Scope remains for stronger coordination between Member States and legislative intervention to complete the framework.
LONDON/GENEVA, 26 September 2024 – Using flowers, shells, leaves, and paper clips, children from Indonesia, Syria and Ukraine have created photo montages and written poems to show what is most important to them to mark 100 years of the global recognition of child rights.
Working with three award-winning photographers, children were encouraged to get creative by combining photos of themselves with everyday items for mixed media projects that celebrate their optimism and hopes for the future but also risks if progress on their rights stalls or is reversed.
The montages and poems are being used to commemorate the agreement on 26 September 1924 of the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child, the groundbreaking document drafted by Save the Children founder Eglantyne Jebb that affirmed for the first time the existence of rights specific to children.
Elin, 15 from Sumba, Indonesia, said she was passionate about protecting the ocean but worried about the impact of climate change. She collected sand and shells while swimming and combined them with her photo portrait, writing the following poem. “In this scorching world, I have the right to be happy. I have the right to breathe fresh air. I have the right to access clean water, because my study time is not to fetch water. Together, we can protect the nature, because I am human, you are human, we are human.”
Anjar,18, from Indonesia tackles the lack of access to clean water in his friend Sandi’s village. Together, they designed a borehole that brought running water to the village for the first time. Anjar is worried about the impact of deforestation and used his artwork to portray himself as a warrior protecting the trees that he loves, using rocks and plants he has gathered.
“We have to learn and guard our nature, so it won’t be destroyed”, said Anjar, who was supported by Save the Children’s Inclusive Incubator for Young Changemakers (i2Change) programme which gives young people the chance to learn how to create a project that will change their community.
In Romania, eight-year-old Marko* is trying to rebuild his life and make new friends after he fled Ukraine with mother when the war broke out.
It took him months to settle into school, but with support from Save the Children’s hub in Romania, he is now more at ease. He made a collage by decorating his printed portrait with colourful clips and pegs. His montage represents his personality, his big dreams for the future and how important his homeland and school are to him.
“I want to be a captain because I would like to travel all over the world”, he said.
Shehab*, 16, is living in Za’atari, Jordan, the world’s largest camp for displaced Syrian refugees. She was born with a disability and bullied at school which made her drop out. At the Adolescent Girls Empowerment Centre, run by Save the Children and the United Nations Population Fund, Jordan is learning self-defence, art and yoga which is helping her find her inner strength.
Her portrait shows the importance to her of the rights to education and protection and includes a caption saying, “Women of the world, unite!”
“I was destroyed before I came to the centre, now I have more self-esteem and confidence” she said. “When I came here, I learned what children’s rights are and I started raising awareness for others and the younger ones. It’s a very good feeling because I felt like I was doing something for society, I was changing something. I felt like I was a leader for those children.”
The project that ran over three months involves the photographers Ulet Ifansasti from Indonesia, Kate Stanworth from the UK and Oksana Parafeniuk from Ukraine.
Despite much progress over the last century, children’s rights are today at risk of being eroded and inequality is growing.
One in five children globally is growing up in a conflict zone [1] and one in 50 is forcibly displaced- twice the number a decade ago, according to Save the Children analysis. [2] Thirty-three children were born into hunger each minute last year [3], while every year, extreme weather events interrupt learning for about 40 million children, a figure likely to rise as the intensity and frequency increase due to climate change [4].
Inger Ashing, Save the Children International’s Chief Executive Officer said:“So much has changed for children in 100 years. Most children now live to see their fifth birthday. Almost nine in 10 primary and six in 10 secondary-age school children complete their education. The vast majority are no longer forced to engage in the kind of work that deprives them of their childhood and harms their development. “Today, every child has rights – including the right to health, to education, to protection, and to security. They have the right to be themselves, to have their voices heard and to design their futures. “But this wasn’t always accepted or supported – and still isn’t in many places around the world. Children currently face a world in crisis where their rights are systematically undermined and violated. The vital progress made over the past 100 years is being reversed with catastrophic conflicts for children while children also experience all-too-frequent climate disasters, poverty and inequality. “Standing up for children’s rights is our history, present, and future. Our work to support children to claim their rights is just as urgent and relevant today as it was 100 years ago and we will not stop until children’s rights are respected, supported, and protected worldwide.”Save the Children is calling on leaders to listen to children and to provide safe, meaningful, child-friendly spaces where children can speak freely and their ideas are respected.
The child rights organisation is also calling for:
States to hold perpetrators of crimes against children in conflict to account and ensure adherence to international humanitarian and human rights law.
At the upcoming Ministerial Conference to Ending Violence against Children, states should make concrete, ambitious and funded commitments to protect children and end all forms of violence against them
Children’s rights and views to be prioritised in climate policy and financing, including climate loss and damage and adaptation,
Leaders to put children’s rights and the Sustainable Development Goals at the centre of policy and financing decisions to create a safer, greener and more sustainable world.
Save the Children supports children around the world by providing safe spaces for those whose lives are shattered by conflict, improving access to affordable education and healthcare, amplifying the voices of children opposing child marriage, and campaigning for and with children to call for urgent action on the climate crisis and inequality.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, 26 September 2024 – Haiti’s ongoing violence is set to force thousands of children into overcrowded classrooms when schools reopen next week, with some classes expected to double to 80 students while hundreds of schools remain closed, Save the Children said.
The Haitian government delayed the start of the academic year until 1 October due to the ongoing threat from armed groups, which has displaced about 600,000 people this year – or about 5% of the population. Over the past school year, more than 900 schools temporarily closed, affecting about 200,000 children’s access to education. Many of these schools will likely remain closed next week as they are being used as shelters for displaced families.
In Haiti’s South Department, an influx of displaced families fleeing violence in Port-au-Prince has severely strained an already fragile education system. Save the Children’s local partners in Les Cayes report that internally displaced children will push class sizes to upwards of 80 students—more than double the recommended class size.
Maria Rosette, a school director supported by Save the Children’s local partner ProDev, highlighted the challenges of providing quality education in such overcrowded conditions.
She also noted the psychological impact on displaced students, due to their distressing experiences. Parents and teachers have reported an increase in aggression, withdrawal, and emotional distress among students due to prolonged exposure to armed violence, hunger, and uncertainty.
“What the children should be receiving in terms of quality education they won’t get because there are too many students. Children at the back of the class always tend to suffer the most; they get distracted easily.
“Also, one of the first things I noticed [towards the end of the last academic year] was the mental health and psychosocial support issues that need to be addressed among displaced students. Displaced children witnessed so much when they were in Port-au-Prince, they now suffer from stress and anguish. They are extremely aggressive; they fight and throw rocks at each other – the new arrivals and local children. Many children are not motivated at school. Still, hopefully, as time goes on, they will be more receptive to continuing their education and be able to address and cope with the issues they face.”
As schools begin to reopen, families still face significant challenges in sending their children back into classrooms. Ongoing violence and soaring inflation have impacted families’ ability to afford basic school supplies for their children. Also, some schools that have been used as shelters require extensive cleanup and repairs before they can fully resume educational activities.
For children living in areas with active fighting in Port-au-Prince, starting the new school year next week may not be possible, even if schools reopen. The journey to school in armed group-controlled areas poses significant risks, including being caught in the crossfire and the threat of recruitment into these groups.
Chantal Sylvie Imbeault, Save the Children’s Country Director in Haiti, said:
“The crisis in Haiti is, above all, a children’s crisis. Hundreds of thousands of children have been displaced, robbed of their education, and deeply affected by the violence unfolding before their eyes.
“In Port-au-Prince, access to education is severely limited due to school closure in areas controlled by armed groups, attacks on schools, displacement, and widespread violence. Many children can’t safely get to school because of the violence surrounding their communities. This means they likely won’t be returning at all to school next week if armed groups continue to wreak havoc across the city.
“A lack of education, overcrowded classrooms, and a growing mental health emergency is threatening to devastate an entire generation—a generation who has already lived through deadly earthquakes, hurricanes, and waves of relentless violence. For many children in Haiti, education is their only hope in an increasingly uncertain world. But that hope is slipping away.”
Save the Children is providing cash assistance for displaced families in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince living in schools-turned-shelters to find more dignified housing solutions while helping to free up schools to resume educational activities. The child rights organisation is also working through local partners in Haiti’s West, Grand’Anse and South departments, including in Les Cayes, to provide access to quality education, and psychosocial support to students who need it, while calling for more funding to provide mental health support for children who have been exposed to violence.
Save the Children is calling on the international community to support the government of Haiti in prioritising the reopening of schools while ensuring displaced families currently sheltering in classrooms can afford safe, alternative shelter, and teachers are paid on time.
Save the Children has been working in Haiti since 1978 in both urban and rural communities. It provides cash assistance so families can meet their most urgent needs, delivers health and nutrition support, and supports children´s access to quality education.
The European Commission’s Director General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement (DG NEAR), Gert Jan Koopman, will participate in two exchanges of views with AFET Members. In the first exchange, Mr Koopman will update Members on DG NEAR activities at the start of this new legislative term and answer their questions.
This exchange will be followed by a joint discussion with Members of the AFET and BUDG Committees, which will focus on the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans, and more specifically on Reform Agendas submitted by the Western Balkan countries seeking EU membership.
AFET Members will then discuss EU-Iran relations in a closed-door meeting with the Deputy Secretary-General of the European External Action Service, Enrique Mora.
Finally, AFET will vote on its opinion on the EU budget for 2025.

Ambassador Neil Holland voices UK support for the OSCE Programme Office’s work in Tajikistan, especially on border security, gender equality, and human rights.
Location:
Vienna
Delivered on:
(Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered)
Ambassador Kempel, welcome to the Permanent Council and thank you for your report. Your presence after a long vacancy in the role is very welcome. The OSCE field missions need leadership – as well as reliable resourcing – to operate effectively. We again urge participating States to break the endless impasse over budgets and ensure that all OSCE institutions – including the important Border Management Staff College – are adequately funded to effectively fulfil their mandates.
I would like to highlight several areas of the Programme Office’s work today that are particularly important to the UK.
Firstly, the Mission’s work to promote gender equality and support those affected by domestic violence through the Women’s Resource Centres. The importance the UK attaches to addressing domestic violence cannot be understated. These OSCE centres support vulnerable women and help them engage in crucial advocacy with local administrations to prevent Gender Based Violence.
Secondly, the crucial role the Programme Office plays in facilitating cross-border cooperation and security. Tajikistan has undertaken valuable work in the demarcation of 94% of its border with Kyrgyzstan, highlighting the value of diplomacy and peaceful dialogue. We commend these efforts and look forward to seeing further progress. The UK is also committed to working with Tajikistan, its neighbours and the OSCE to mitigate the challenges arising from Afghanistan.
Finally, I want to commend the mission’s efforts in the human dimension, notably its support to the Government of Tajikistan to promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners. I also welcome the Mission’s work with the Government of Tajikistan to embed human rights within government training courses. Issues remain: detention and prosecution of journalists and political opposition, including in but not limited to the Gorno Badakhshan autonomous region, is an issue of concern for the UK; and is undermining Tajikistan’s international reputation and prospects for investment.
Madam Chair, I would like to commend the Government of Tajikistan for their continued leadership on climate and water security, not least demonstrated by their water management event during the 31st OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum in Prague this month, as well as the Water Conference in Dushanbe in June. As climate change makes water access more competitive and harder to manage, cooperation and solutions become more vital.
From the environmental climate to the business one. For the Government of Tajikistan to make progress in its efforts towards driving economic development and improving the business climate, it must recognise the importance of offering a predictable business environment where business owners can generate profit. This will encourage quality foreign investment that can create clean growth and jobs for Tajik citizens.
To conclude, I would like to thank you again, Ambassador Kempel, for presenting your report today; and wish you all the best in your new role.

Rep Ramirez pointed out the irony of advancing a bill that strengthens the position of the predatory for-profit bond industry one year after Illinois successfully eliminated cash bail
Washington, DC– Today,Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), the Vice Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Committee, voted “NO” on the RepublicanH.R. 8205,Detaining the Disadvantaged Act. Ramirez’s decisions came after carefully analyzing that the legislation fails to address public safety or economic inequity, instead benefiting insurers and the corporate for-profit bail industry.
“Today marks one year and one week since Illinois eliminated cash bail. The passage of the Pretrial Fairness Act made Illinois the first state to end the practice of holding people in jail simply because they could not buy their freedom. A year later, the preliminary research on Illinois shows that the failure-to-appear rate has not increased, there is no documented increase in crime as a result of defendants being released without posting bond, and approximately $140 million that was posted in bond now remains in the community,”said Congresswoman Ramirez.“Today’s bill is a conservative attack on grassroots efforts to resist and disrupt the predatory for-profit cash bail industry and remove the influence of money on our criminal legal system. That’s why I voted NO on H.R. 8205. Until all states end the unjust practice of pretrial bond, we must protect and defend community bond funds.”
BACKGROUND:
According todata by the Center for American Progress, thefor-profit bail industryhas long profited from the criminal justice system’s targeting of low-income people, people of color, and now individuals seeking reproductive care. In Illinois,the law to end cash bail, the Pretrial Fairness Act, passed the General Assembly in January 2021 with Congresswoman Ramirez’s advocacy and vote. It was signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker on Feb. 22. The bill was part of the SAFE-T Act, a broader criminal justice reform package. According toreportsof the data analyzed by the Center for Criminal Justice at Loyola University in Chicago, the state has not seen dramatic changes in the security and justice process.

Washington, DC– Today,Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03)released the following statement:
“During this Congress,just in two years, the House has consideredat least six different Continuing Resolutionsall because extreme Republicans have hijacked the government funding process to advance Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.
Today, once again, my Democratic colleagues and I showed up to keep the government open and ensure families receivetheirservices: government services for the people, funded by the people. But make no mistake, what we passed is only a temporary fix until December 20. The government is still not funded, and extreme Republicans have NO intention of funding it on former President Trump’s orders. The fringe of the Republican party will come back after the election and keep hijacking the appropriations process to push extreme, unpopular, vile policies: a national abortion ban, cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and the erosion of our democratic institutions. For the families in IL-03 and around our nation,I challenge my Republican colleagues to put the American people first, abandon Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, and come to the table to fund our government when session resumes.”

Briefing by United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. António Guterres, on Leadership for peace: united in respect of the UN Charter, in search of a secure future – Security Council, 9732nd meeting.
———————————–
Mr. President, Excellencies,
I thank the government of Slovenia for convening this high-level debate on Leadership for Peace.
The topic is rooted in a fundamental truth: Peace is never automatic.
Peace demands action.
And peace demands leadership.
Instead, we’re seeing deepening geo-political divisions and mistrust.
Impunity is spreading, with repeated violations of international law and the UN Charter.
Conflicts are multiplying, becoming more complex and deadlier.
All regions are affected.
And civilians are paying the steepest price.
From Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan and beyond — wars grind on, suffering grows, hunger deepens, lives are upended, and the legitimacy and effectiveness of the United Nations, and this Council, are undermined.
Mr. President, Excellencies,
Leadership for peace requires action in at least two key areas.
First — leadership for peace means all Member States living up to their commitments in the UN Charter, in international law and in recent agreements such as the Pact for the Future.
Among other things, the Pact calls for strengthening tools and frameworks to prevent conflict, sustain peace and advance sustainable development, with the full, equal and meaningful participation of women.
It calls for updating our tools for peace operations to allow for more agile, tailored responses to existing, emerging and future challenges.
It reinforces the commitment to all human rights — civil, political, economic, social and cultural.
It includes initiatives around disarmament, peacebuilding, and managing threats posed by lethal autonomous weapons and artificial intelligence and in new domains, including outer space and cyberspace.
It calls for measures to quickly address complex global shocks.
And it contains a new push to reform key institutions of global governance, including the global financial architecture and this very Council.
The Pact is a down-payment on these reforms.
But we will need strong political will to implement them, and rebuild the legitimacy and effectiveness of this Council.
Which brings me to my second point about leadership for peace.
Leadership for peace means ensuring that the UN Security Council acts in a meaningful way to ease global tensions and help address the conflicts that are inflicting so much suffering around the world.
Geopolitical divisions continue to block effective solutions.
A united Council can make a tremendous difference for peace.
A divided Council cannot.
It is imperative that Council Members spare no effort to work together to find common ground.
And it has proven capable of doing so in some key areas.
From currently overseeing 11 peacekeeping operations on three continents, involving nearly 70,000 uniformed peacekeeping personnel…
To resolutions that help keep vital humanitarian aid flowing to the world’s hotspots…
To the landmark Resolution 2719, which provides for African-Union led peace support operations authorized by the Council to have access to UN assessed contributions…
To the groundbreaking Resolutions that recognized the clear implications of peace and security challenges on the lives of women and youth…
To this Council’s growing ties to regional and sub-regional organizations to foster consensus and peace.
These examples — and more — prove that forging peace is possible.
When we consider the most difficult and intractable conflicts on this Council’s agenda, peace can seem an impossible dream.
But I strongly believe that peace is possible if we stick to principles.
Peace in Ukraine is possible.
By following the UN Charter and abiding by international law.
Peace in Gaza is possible.
By sparing no effort for an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and the beginning of an irreversible process towards a two-State solution.
Peace in Sudan is possible.
By sending a clear message to the warring parties that all Members of this Council — including the five permanent Members — will not tolerate the horrific violence and desperate humanitarian crisis being unleashed on innocent civilians.
Mr. President, Excellencies,
The situations on this Council’s agenda are complex and do not have quick fixes.
But the scale of the challenge should not deter us.
Our only hope for progress on peace is active collaboration and unity among Council Members.
Today, I call on all Members to live up to this great responsibility, and to the promise of the UN Charter.
Contribute to this Council’s success — not its diminishment.
Let’s ensure that this Council serves as an effective and representative forum for peace — today and in the years to come.
