MIL-OSI Video: How Pasta Revived an Abandoned Land—with EU Support
Source: European Commission (video statements)
For over 50 years, a visionary family has transformed an abandoned monastery into a thriving organic farm and pasta producer. With the support of the European Union, this small initiative grew into Italy’s first fully fair-trade food supply chain, setting an example for sustainable and competitive food production across Europe.
This family embraced environmentally friendly practices long before organic farming became a trend, proving that sustainable agriculture is the future. Their journey—from ruined land to an award-winning European producer—highlights the power of innovation, resilience, and EU-backed investments.
The European Commission is committed to ensuring a strong, sustainable, and competitive agri-food sector. Its policies will cover:
– Building an attractive agri-food sector;
– Fostering a competitive and resilient sector;
– Providing the conditions for a future-proof sector;
– Focusing on food, fair living and working conditions in rural areas;
For more information on the contents of these pillars, follow this link: https://europa.eu/!Qnw393Thanks to EU funding, this pioneering company completed its supply chain—from cultivation to final product—and received the EU Organic Award for excellence in food processing. This story is not just about pasta; it’s about redefining the future of food.

MIL-OSI Video: Global solidarity needed more than ever – UN Chief | Security Council Briefing | United Nations
Source: United Nations (Video News)
Remarks to the Security Council by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on practicing multilateralism, reforming and improving global governance.
Excellencies,
I thank Minister Wang Yi and China for convening this important discussion.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations.
Born out of the ashes of the Second World War, our organization was the result of a global commitment to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”
It also signaled a commitment to an entirely new level of international cooperation grounded in international law and our founding Charter.
To help countries move past the horrors of conflict to forge sustainable peace.
To tackle poverty, hunger and disease.
To assist countries in climbing the development ladder.
To provide humanitarian support in times of conflict and disaster.
To embed justice and fairness through international law and respect for human rights.
And to work through this Council to push for peace through dialogue, debate, diplomacy and consensus-building.
Eight decades later, one can draw a direct line between the creation of the United Nations and the prevention of a third world war.
Eight decades later, the United Nations remains the essential, one-of-a-kind meeting ground to advance peace, sustainable development and human rights.
But eight decades is a long time.
And because we believe in the singular value and purpose of the United Nations, we must always strive to improve the institution and the way we work.
We have the hardware for international cooperation — but the software needs an update.
An update in representation to reflect the realities of today.
An update in support for developing countries to redress historical injustices.
An update to ensure countries adhere to the purposes, principles and norms that ground multilateralism in justice and fairness.
And an update to our peace operations.
Excellencies,
Global solidarity and solutions are needed more than ever.
The climate crisis is raging, inequalities are growing, and poverty is on the rise.
As this Council knows well, peace is getting pushed further out of reach — from the Occupied Palestinian Territory to Ukraine to Sudan to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and beyond.
Terrorism and violent extremism remain persistent scourges.
We see a dark spirit of impunity spreading.
The prospect of nuclear war remains — outrageously — a clear and present danger.
And the limitless promise of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence is matched by limitless peril to undermine and even replace human thought, human identity and human control.
These global challenges cry out for multilateral solutions.The Pact for the Future you adopted in September is aimed at strengthening global governance for the 21st century and rebuilding trust — trust in multilateralism, trust in the United Nations, and trust in this Council.
At its heart, the Pact for the Future is a pact for peace — peace in all its dimensions.
It puts forward concrete solutions to strengthen the machinery of peace, drawing from proposals to the New Agenda for Peace that prioritize prevention, mediation and peacebuilding.
The Pact seeks to advance coordination with regional organizations, and ensure the full participation of women, youth and marginalized groups in peace processes.
And it calls for strengthening the Peacebuilding Commission to mobilize political and financial support for nationally owned peacebuilding and prevention strategies.
The Pact also includes the first multilateral agreement on nuclear disarmament in more than a decade…
New strategies to end the use of chemical and biological weapons…
And revitalized efforts to prevent an arms race in outer space and advance discussions on lethal autonomous weapons.
It also calls on Member States to live up to their commitments enshrined in the UN Charter, and the principles of respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and the political independence of states.
It reaffirms unwavering commitment to abide by international law and prioritize the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue.
It recognizes the role of the United Nations in preventive diplomacy.
It reinforces the need to uphold all human rights — civil, political, economic, social and cultural.
It calls for the meaningful inclusion of women and youth in all peace processes.
And it specifically calls on this Council to ensure that peace operations are guided by clear and sequenced mandates that are realistic and achievable — with viable exit strategies and transition plans.But the Pact does even more for peace.

He said that the Pact for the Future adopted in September is aimed at strengthening global governance for the 21st century and rebuilding trust — trust in multilateralism, trust in the United Nations, and trust in this very Council.
The Secretary-General noted that the Pact recognizes that the Security Council must reflect the world of today, not the world of 80 years ago. It also sets out important principles to guide this long-awaited reform. This Council should be enlarged and made more representative of today’s geopolitical realities, the Secretary-General said.
He also urged Security Council members to continue working to overcome differences and focus on building the consensus required to deliver the peace for all people.Full Highlights:

MIL-OSI Video: From Ground Zero – Global Event featuring Oscar-shortlisted Film | United Nations Movie Society
Source: United Nations (Video News)
On Friday, 21 February 2025, the UN Movie Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council – dedicated to advancing UN global causes through the transformative power of storytelling, will present an event featuring excerpts from the 2025 Oscar-shortlisted International Feature Film, FROM GROUND ZERO. The programme will be broadcasted live & on demand on the global channels of the United Nations – UN Web TV and UN YouTube.
FROM GROUND ZERO was filmed during the devastating war in Gaza, during which – according to the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) – over 48,000 Palestinians have been reportedly killed since October 7th, 2023 – the vast majority of them children, women and the elderly. And many more are feared missing under the rubble. Sadly, 273 UNRWA colleagues have also been killed since the war began.
In under two hours, the film weaves together 22 short films created by 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers living and surviving in Gaza over this past year. While pulling from the rubble of their homes and their cities, these filmmakers have come together to share these stories with us – mixing dramatic storytelling, documentary, and animation. FROM GROUND ZERO is a moving and compelling story about resilience and the human spirit. The very existence of this film is remarkable, given the dangerous circumstances that existed on the ground at the time of filming. It is a portrayal of resilience and the human spirit that explores the importance of storytelling in a powerful way.
On this occasion, the event will be opened with remarks delivered by H.E. Mr. Riyad H. Mansour, Ambassador and Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations. In addition, remarks by Director Rashid Masharawi will be featured.
Movies hold the unique power to promote universal ideals, principles, and values so deeply enshrined by the United Nations – including peace, development, respect for human rights, cultural appreciation, the dignity of the human person, and equal rights for all. Founded at the United Nations Headquarters by Brenda Vongova, the UN Movie Society is committed to championing the goals and values of the United Nations through the universal language of motion pictures.

MIL-OSI Video: Ukraine: Global impact of the war is felt far beyond – DPPA Briefing | United Nations
Source: United Nations (Video News)
On the tenth anniversary of the Minsk Agreements, US representative John Kelley told the Security Council that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders was “an unrealistic objective,” while musician and peace activist Roger Waters welcomed United States President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin talks on Ukraine as “a move in the right direction.”
Briefing Council members on the situation in Ukraine, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia, and the Americas Miroslav Jenča said the ten-year anniversary of the Minsk Agreements has taught us that “agreeing on the ceasefire or the signing of an agreement alone do not ensure a durable end to the violence,” and “ensuring that the conflict does not reoccur and does not escalate will require genuine, genuine political will and understanding of its multidimensional complexity for Ukraine and for the region.”
Waters expressed hope that, “maybe there is a glimmer of light at the end of this dark tunnel of war. It’s come three years and hundreds of thousands of priceless lives too late.”
Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told the Council that “the Minsk agreements were something which the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime needed purely as a smokescreen to provide armaments to Ukraine and to prepare it for war with Russia.”
Nebenzya said, “had the Minsk agreements been implemented in good faith by Ukraine and its sponsors, there would have been nothing, nothing of what subsequently transpired would have occurred.”
The Russian Ambassador said, “diplomacy has finally been actively brought into the game. And opportunities have emerged for the prompt end to the hot phase of the Ukrainian crisis,” and referring to the Minsk Agreements said, “what lessons do the present negotiators need to draw from the process which so abjectly failed three years ago?”
The US representative, for his part said, “we want a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine, but we must start by recognizing and then returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure the war will not begin again. This must not be Minsk 3.0.”
UK representative Barbara Woodward said, “the conditions for a just and lasting peace which protects Ukraine’s security, sovereignty and independence” must be create, and stressed that “Ukraine’s voice must be at the heart of any negotiations.”
Ukraine’s representative Khrystyna Hayovyshyn said, “weak agreements will not bring real peace, they will only lead to the greater war. That is why we are working with our partners to find strong and effective solutions. Peace cannot be bought, especially not at the expense of law and principles, especially principle of territorial integrity and sovereign equality. This cannot be replaced with appeasement. History offers many relevant examples. Our task is to avoid repeating past mistakes, as the cost of those mistakes is more blood, suffering and destruction.”
Today’s meeting coincided with the tenth anniversary of resolution 2202, which endorsed the now-defunct Minsk agreements of 2015 signed by the representatives of European security pact, the OSCE, Russia, Ukraine and leaders of the pro-Russian separatists in the occupied east of Ukraine following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
The unanimously adopted resolution included a package of measures as its annex, including an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, as well as the withdrawal of all heavy weapons by both sides by equal distances to create a security zone.
