    Source: United Nations (Video News)

    Speaking at the inauguration of a renovated Africa Hall in Addis Ababa, Secretary-General António Guterres said the continent deserved a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. He also called for resolute action and renewed solidarity to help Africa rise to its challenges.

    —————-
    Secretary-General António Guterres today (21 Oct) in Addis Ababa said, “there is now a consensus from Member States that the Security Council must be reformed, and there is a consensus of all Member States that the key aspect of that reform is to have two African members as permanent members of the Security Council.”

    Guterres, who took part in the 8th African Union–United Nations annual conference said, “Africa faces enormous obstacles to its development” which are “deeply rooted in the colonial legacy.”

    Speaking at a joint press conference after meeting with the African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, he said, “African countries gained independence with their economies and to a certain extent, their societies distorted by the interests of the colonial powers that organized their economies to the benefits of the colonists.”

    The Secretary-General announced that, “we just decided to create the common working group with the Economic Commission for Africa and the African Union Commission to do serious research, to allow to contribute to the creation of an African strategy to bridge the digital divide and the Artificial Intelligence divide, and to overcome all the enormous structural difficulties and impediments that exist today, and to be able to claim the resources that will be necessary for it to be possible.”

    The AU – UN high-level discussions, co-chaired by Faki and the Secretary-General, focused on progress in the implementation of cooperation frameworks between the two organizations, as well as the operationalization of Security Council resolution 2719, which establishes the framework for financing of African Union-led peace support operations through UN assessed contributions.

    Participants also discussed joint action, as well as challenges linked to peace, security, development, human rights and the impact of climate change on the African continent. Discussions also included the implementation of the Pact for the Future.

    The Secretary-General also participated in a ceremony for the inauguration of a renovated Africa Hall. This hall was built for the Organization of African Unity, now the African Union.

    Briefing by Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and Americas, Departments of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and Peace Operations, on Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine.

    ———————–

    Briefing the Security Council Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Peace Affairs said, “widespread and systematic reports of torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war remains a grave concern. 97 percent of Ukrainian prisoners interviewed by OHCHR since March 2023 provided consistent and detailed accounts of torture or ill-treatment during captivity. 68 percent reported sexual violence.”

    Jenčan also highlighted the civilian toll of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, citing data from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Jenča said, “since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, launched in violation of the UN Charter and international law, 11,973 civilians, including 622 children, have been killed. 25,943 people, including 1,686 children, have been injured.

    He also raised concerns about renewed attacks on Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which have damaged six civilian vessels and grain infrastructure since September. “Wheat prices have increased more than six percent between 1 September and 14 October,” he noted, attributing the spike to these attacks.”

  • MIL-OSI Video: Quantum technology will impact peace & security in many significant ways – Security Council Briefing

    Source: United Nations (Video News)

    Briefing by Robin Geiss, The Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, on anticipating the impact of scientific developments on international peace and security, during the Security Council, 9753rd meeting.

    —————-
    The Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, Robin Geiss, today (21 Oct) told the Security Council that as the scientific and technological landscape evolves at a “blistering pace, we often lack a clear sense of what is being developed, by whom, and with which resulting impacts, including for international peace and security.”

    Geiss, briefing a Council meeting on “anticipating the impact of scientific developments on international peace and security,” said “within the next 5 to 10 years, quantum technology will impact peace and security in many significant ways.”

    First, he said, “it will disrupt information and communication security by making traditional encryption techniques ineffective and therefore obsolete.”

    Second, he continued, “quantum sensors will enable the detection of objects underground or underwater, revolutionizing warfare, on the one hand, and monitoring and verification efforts, on the other.”

    Finally, Geiss added, “quantum computing will unlock a new era for AI by enabling computation of models that cannot currently be run on even the most powerful computers.”

    Also briefing the Council, the President of the Foundation Council (DCAF) at the Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance, Amin Awad called on member states to “act with courage and foresight to ensure that emerging technologies fulfil their promise to advance global peace and security.”

    Awad said, scientific advancements in neurotechnology, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence and quantum computing are already reshaping our world,” and added that “no effort should be spared to ensure these developments are for the benefit of human and not for evil.”

    For her part, Japan’s Ambassador for Science and Technology, Kaji Misako, said, “the world must join forces to support innovation while properly mitigating the risks and misuse of emerging technologies,” and noted that Japan “has led the international discussion on the governance of advanced AI systems to achieve safe, secure, trustworthy AI, including through the Hiroshima AI process, launched in May 2023.”

    Speaking to reporters outside the Council before the briefing, Swiss Ambassador Pascale Christine Baeriswyl, joined by her Sierra Leonian and Slovenian counterparts, said “rapid scientific advances can accelerate the realization of the aspirations of the United Nations across all three pillars of its work sustainable development, human rights, as well as peace and security. We intend to prepare the Council for the future to act early and manage uncertainty. To that end, we will seek expert advice and collaborate with academic and research institutions to provide the Council with the needed evidence based information.”

    Council members are currently negotiating a draft presidential statement proposed by Switzerland in connection with today’s meeting on the impacts of scientific developments on peace and security.

  • MIL-OSI Video: Gaza: Catastrophic levels of hunger expected to double – Press Conference | United Nations

    Source: United Nations (Video News)

    Press Conference by Volker Turk, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

    —————————————————-

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, told journalists in New York that “the number of people at catastrophic levels of hunger is expected to double in the coming months and the risk of famine persists across the whole of Gaza,” and added that “this crisis is principally the consequences of decisions made by the Israeli authorities.”

    Following the presentation of his annual report to the General Assembly, Türk said, “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited under international humanitarian law. It constitutes a war crime. As the occupying power, Israel has the specific obligations an international humanitarian law to bring into Gaza the necessary foodstuffs, medical supplies and other articles, and to facilitate humanitarian relief by all means at its disposal.”

    He said, “there are reports that Israeli forces are preventing humanitarian aid from accessing the north, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian and medical needs,” adding that Israel’s evacuation orders “appear designed to cut off north Gaza completely from the rest of the territory, as bombing and other attacks continue.”

    Turning to Lebanon, the High Commissioner said Israeli “daily strikes on residential buildings in urban areas are taking an appalling toll on civilians with significant numbers of casualties, destruction and displacement,” while “Hizbullah also continues to fire rockets into Israel, where many thousands are displaced from their homes.”

    He stressed that the risk of a full-fledged regional conflict “remains very high, one that could engulf the lives and the human rights of millions of people,” and added that the “illogic of escalation, must end.”

    On the Ukraine war, Türk said, “nearly 1000 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion, we continue to see terrible devastation characterised by recurring human rights violations and war crimes,” and noted that July 2024 was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since October 2022

    He said, “with the ongoing attacks on crucial energy infrastructure, I fear for Ukrainians this coming winter.”

    On the situation in Sudan, the High Commissioner said, “the warring parties, affiliated groups and regional actors continue to compete for influence and power, forcing a staggering 10 million people to flee their homes and leaving more than 25 million people facing acute hunger.”

    He said, “the situation is desperate, and there is evidence of the commission of war crimes and other atrocity crimes.”

    Türk said, “when my office rings warning bells, as we have over many years for all the situations that I referred to above, the international community needs to listen and act to avert catastrophe.”

    Video solidarity message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL).

    “Dear colleagues of UNIFIL,

    Earlier this week, I had the privilege of speaking with representatives of your countries here in New York.

    Today I want to speak to you directly.

    I want to say to you what I said to them:

    I am full of admiration and gratitude to the men and women of UNIFIL.

    I am so proud of you — and I know your countries are proud of you, too.

    You should know that here in New York, we are all very aware of your bravery during some of the most challenging moments in the history of UNIFIL.

    I have been crystal clear: the safety of United Nations personnel is our highest priority.

    And all parties have an obligation to ensure the safety of our personnel.

    The inviolability of UN premises must be respected, at all times.

    Attacks against UN peacekeepers are completely unacceptable.

    They are in breach of international law, against international humanitarian law and may constitute a war crime.

    Despite all the challenges, UNIFIL remains in its positions.

    Every day you keep the blue flag flying — and ensure the primacy of international law.

    I am in constant contact with General Lázaro – assessing the latest developments.

    Our path forward is clear.

    We need an immediate ceasefire and the full implementation of resolution 1701.

    The men and women of UNIFIL are tirelessly working to give our diplomatic efforts a fighting chance.

    You are not just on the Blue Line in Lebanon, you are literally on the front line of peace.

    Thank you for your service”.

    SECRETARY-GENERAL TRAVELS
    On Sunday, 20 October, the Secretary-General will arrive in Addis Ababa, to take part in the 8th African Union–United Nations annual conference.
    The high-level discussions, to be held on Monday, 21 October, will be co-chaired by Moussa Faki Mahamat, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, along with Mr. Guterres. The meeting will focus on progress in the implementation of cooperation frameworks between the two organizations, but also on the joint action and challenges linked to peace, security, development, human rights and the impact of climate change on the African continent.
    Discussions this year will also include the implementation of the Pact for the Future, as well as the operationalization of Security Council resolution 2719 (2023), which, as you will recall, establishes the framework for financing of African Union-led peace support operations through United Nations assessed contributions – something the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission had long advocated for.
    The annual conference will conclude with a joint press conference by the Secretary-General and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat. It will be available on UN WebTV shortly after.
    Later in the day, the Secretary-General will go to the UN Economic Commission for Africa in Addis Ababa, where he will take part in the re-inauguration ceremony of Africa Hall, which is reopening after extensive renovations to transform it into a modern conference centre. We expect the ceremony to be webcast live on UN WebTV.
    While in Addis Ababa, the Secretary-General is also scheduled to hold meetings with the President and Prime Minister of Ethiopia.

    AFRICAN UNION – UNITED NATIONS
    Speaking of UN-African Union relations, I’d like to note that on 15 October, the Peace and Security Council of the African Union and the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission convened their 7th Annual Consultative Meeting at the ECOSOC Chamber here at UN Headquarters.
    The meeting highlighted the collaborative peacebuilding efforts of the AU Peace and Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission for peacebuilding and sustaining peace in Africa, as well as the comprehensive review and progress of the status of implementation of outcomes of the 6th Informal Meeting in November 2023. They also noted that more work still needs to be done in supporting peacebuilding efforts. We have a note with more details on that meeting.

    LEBANON/UNIFIL
    Firing continued across parts of Lebanon and northern Israel today, with Israeli strikes in Saida, Nabatieh, Jezzine, Bekaa, and Mount Lebanon as well as the UNIFIL area of operations, while strikes by Hizbullah into northern Israel, including towards Haifa, and the Israeli-occupied Golan, also continued.
    Our colleagues in the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) report that the high levels of fire across the Blue Line have persisted, with UNIFIL detecting 966 projectiles over the past 24 hours. The vast majority of these projectiles originated from south of the Blue Line, primarily striking Ayta ash Sha’b in Sector West and Al Wazzani and Mays al-Jabal in Sector East, while 68 projectiles were recorded originating from north of the Blue Line. The Mission also noted 70 air violations by the IDF into Lebanese air space, breaking the previous day’s record for daily violations since October 2023. Furthermore, clashes on the ground between Hizbullah and the Israel Defense Forces within the UNIFIL area of operations continue, with fatalities reported on each side.
    Additionally, this morning, peacekeepers reported that one of UNIFIL’s patrols that was resupplying a UN position in Sector East observed an impact less than 50 metres from its location. The patrol returned safely to its location of origin, and no injuries were reported. UNIFIL continues to reiterate the importance of ensuring the safety and security of peacekeepers and reminds all actors of their obligations in that regard.
