The war in northern @Plaid_Syria continues to rage on... while progress has been made to de-escalate the situation, we fear it will not be enough unless stronger action is taken.
As the fighting in Syria continues, the number of people displaced is rapidly approaching 200,000. The needs of these refugees continue to grow, and humanitarian aid is necessary. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Today, we have more committee meetings, with each one discussing many of the important issues it covers, such as nuclear disarmament and human rights.
Even though we have ended the truly massive peacekeeping mission in Haiti, we will continue to support the nation in every way we can on their path to development. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Obesity rates continue to climb as world dietary trends shift towards foods higher in sugar, fat, salt, and starch. Over 800 million individuals are obese. This puts them at higher risk or diabetes, Heart disease, and many types of cancer. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Despite our best efforts, UNICEF reports that there are still an alarming number of malnourished children in the world. Just how bad is it? In their most comprehensive report in 20 years, they found that 1 in 3 children don't have enough to eat. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Due to the shortage of funds we are facing, we have been forced to cut nonessential expenses. These include things such as travel, electrical and water usage, and cutting overtime work. We hope that @Plaid_USA and other nations can get us fund soon. seattletimes.com/nation-worl…
The invasion of @Plaid_Syria by @Plaid_Turkey could lead to the release of many IS militants from prisons in the area. While everyone is very concerned about this possibility, it seems very little is being done to prevent it, as many have already escaped. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Today the General Assembly is meeting in Committees to discuss various important topics, from Disarmament and international security, to climate change, to the protection and promotion of human rights.
While the Ebola outbreak in the Congo is certainly winding down, it is far from over. The disease has now been contained, but WHO says there is lots to do in order to kill it entirely. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Hey @Plaid_USA @Plaid_Donald those airstrikes you made back in May? Yeeeaaaaah they're illegal. You intentionally attacked civilian targets, and now you have to pay the price. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
new research conducted by WHO has determined that, especially in developing countries, there is still an alarming number of women who are being mistreated during childbirth. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Yes, the rumors are true - we are running low on funds, low enough that we may be out of money by the end of the month. As @Plaid_Guterres said, many states have not paid their dues in full for the 2019 fiscal year. cbsnews.com/news/united-nati…
An exhibit has been set up in Geneva to honor the 100 year anniversary of international cooperation. The centerpiece of the exhibit is Tolstoy's original manuscript for War and Peace. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
According to a speech given by the UN Refugee Chief in Geneva this morning, Nationalism posses a major barrier to the end of statelessness. Many Countries are unwilling to accept refugees, due to fears of losing their national identity. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
Today, a special envoy gave a presentation to the SC about the great lakes region of Africa. On top of the Ebola outbreak, this area is facing many challenges that harm the well being of the people. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
As we close out the second week of the 74th general assembly, we are taking the time to discuss a new edition of the Law of the Sea in the GA, while the security council works on the situation in the great lakes and Sudan/South Sudan.
One of the main issues facing digital security today is the unprecedented level of access children have on the internet. It makes them very susceptible to extremists and child predators, and it is an issue that we must deal with quickly to avoid disaster. news.un.org/en/story/2019/10…
This morning the general assembly will continue the general debate on the issues of the 74th session. Prominent Countries in the discussion include @Plaid_Canada @Plaid_SKorea @Plaid_Thailand @Plaid_SriLanka @Plaid_Afghan and @Plaid_Uruguay
