In Lebanon, more than 2,000 people have died and 800,000 have been forced to flee in recent weeks as shelling continues, the Spokesperson for the United Nations Interim Mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says. Briefing reporters in New York from Beirut, Andrea Tenenti points out that statistics cannot convey the human toll of the conflict. Peacekeepers have been targeted by attacks from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and actions by the IDF and Hezbollah put the blue helmets in danger, he adds.

Play Video: Occupied Palestinian Territory: Human rights situation - Special Rapporteur | United Nations

Press conference by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967. --------------------------- Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory said, “the genocidal violence” has expanded and “metastasized in other parts of the oPt.” Briefing reporters in New York City today (30 Oct) she questioned, “How do you explain the 700, over 700, Palestinians who have been killed in the West Bank, including 170 children?” Albanese further said, “And how do you explain the fact that the Palestinians from the West Bank have been exposed to the same practices and abuses, often rape, among other forms of torture, than those in Gaza? If there was no Hamas military action or presence in the West Bank? Not that the first justified what Israel has done in Gaza.” According to Albanese, “Impunity that has been granted to Israel has allowed it to become a serial violator of international law.” She argued that the United States has been “an enabler” in Israel’s actions, suggesting it has “a conflict of interest… in orchestrating attacks against anyone who criticizes Israel.” Albanese further pointed to what she called a “colonial erasure” in efforts to diminish Palestinian identity in the oPt, noting that “75 percent, for example, of the people in Gaza, they’re not even from Gaza. They’re from modern-day Israel.” She said these actions serve as a “reminder… of its original sin” in the creation of the Israeli state. Additionally, she condemned attacks on UNRWA, describing it as a “symbol of Palestinianness,” and emphasized that UNRWA’s fate rests solely with the General Assembly, noting that “only the General Assembly can decide the future of UNRWA.” Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent of any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

Briefing by Caroline Ziadeh, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, on the situation in Kosovo. --------------------------- UN Special Representative for Kosovo Caroline Ziadeh said that although the situation on the ground remains fragile, in her engagements with officials in Belgrade and Pristina, as well as with partners, she sees hope for a constructive dialogue and peaceful relations. Briefing the Security Council today (30 Oct) about the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), Ziadeh said, “Advancing and safeguarding human rights is at the very core of our mission in Kosovo. Against the background of recent developments, strengthening measures to further promote equality and non-discrimination are pivotal, in particular in upholding property rights, preserving cultural heritage, and fully observing the language rights of all communities.” She also said, “A year since the serious security incident in Banjska/Banjskë, I continue to call for timely accountability for perpetrators through thorough, fair, transparent and independent judicial processes, which are essential for fostering stability. Such violence is unacceptable and should not be repeated.” She continued, “In this regard, we note that the initial hearing on this case was conducted on the 9th of October at the basic court of Pristina against the three defendants who are in custody, out of a total of 45 accused in the indictment, who face a range of charges, including terrorism.” She noted, “Serbian goods have now resumed crossing into Kosovo. It is imperative that the current bottlenecks will be expeditiously addressed. This recent progress underscores the potential for deeper work toward regional integration via constructive diplomatic compromises.”

Play Video: Gaza: Report on destruction of Healthcare system - Press Conference | United Nations

The Chairperson of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, Navanethem Pillay, presented the commission's latest investigative report to the UN General Assembly. Pillay and Chris Sidoti spoke to reporters in New York. Israel has perpetrated a concerted policy to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system as part of a broader assault on Gaza, committing war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination with relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel said in a new report. The Commission also investigated the treatment of Palestinian detainees in Israel and of Israeli and foreign hostages in Gaza since 7 October 2023, and concluded that Israel and Palestinian armed groups are responsible for torture and sexual and gender-based violence. The report found that Israeli security forces have deliberately killed, detained and tortured medical personnel and targeted medical vehicles while tightening their siege on Gaza and restricting permits to leave the territory for medical treatment. These actions constitute the war crimes of wilful killing and mistreatment and of the destruction of protected civilian property and the crime against humanity of extermination. Attacks on medical facilities in Gaza, particularly those devoted to paediatric and neonatal care, have led to incalculable suffering of child patients, including newborns, the report said. In continuing these attacks, Israel has violated children’s right to life, denied children access to basic healthcare, and deliberately inflicted conditions of life resulting in the destruction of generations of Palestinian children and, potentially, the Palestinian people as a group. Regarding the detention of Palestinians in Israeli military camps and detention facilities, the report found that thousands of child and adult detainees, many of whom were arbitrarily detained, have been subjected to widespread and systematic abuse, physical and psychological violence, and sexual and gender-based violence amounting to the war crime and crime against humanity of torture and the war crime of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Male detainees were subjected to rape, as well as attacks on their sexual and reproductive organs and forced to perform humiliating and strenuous acts while naked or stripped as a form of punishment or intimidation to extract information. The deaths of detainees as a result of abuse or neglect amount to the war crimes of wilful killing or murder and violations of the right to life. Child detainees released by Israeli authorities have returned to Gaza severely traumatized, unaccompanied, with limited ability to locate or communicate with their families. The report found that the institutionalized mistreatment of Palestinian detainees, a longstanding characteristic of the occupation, took place under direct orders from the Israeli Minister in charge of the prison system, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and was fuelled by Israeli government statements inciting violence and retribution. “The appalling acts of abuse committed against Palestinian detainees require accountability and reparations for the victims,” said Pillay. “The lack of accountability for actions ordered by senior Israeli authorities and carried out by individual members of Israeli security forces and the increasing acceptance of violence against Palestinians have allowed such conduct to continue uninterrupted, becoming systematic and institutionalized.” Regarding the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Palestinian armed groups, the report found that many were mistreated to inflict physical pain and severe mental suffering, including physical violence, abuse, sexual violence, forced isolation, limited access to hygiene facilities, water and food, threats and humiliation. Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups forced hostages to participate in videos with the intent of inflicting psychological torture on the families of hostages, to achieve political aims. Several hostages were killed in captivity. Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups committed the war crimes of torture, inhuman or cruel treatment, and the crimes against humanity of enforced disappearance and other inhumane acts causing great suffering or serious injury. “Palestinian armed groups must release immediately and unconditionally all Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza. Hostages must be treated in accordance with the requirements of international humanitarian law and international human rights law until they are released,” said Pillay.

The ICBM launch violated UN curbs and came at a time of deteriorating relations between the two Koreas. Seoul's defence ministry said the test was intended to develop weapons that "fire farther and higher”. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said in a rare same-day report on state media that the launch shows "our will to respond to our enemies" and described it as "appropriate military action".

Trump was seen walking down the steps of his private plane wearing a bright orange safety vest and boarding a Trump-branded garbage truck where he spoke to reporters ahead of his Wisconsin rally. Biden’s comments were made in response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s jokes made at a Trump rally in New York where he referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” The White House issued a statement later saying Biden was "referring to hateful rhetoric used against Puerto Ricans”. Later in the day, the Republican presidential candidate attended his rally wearing the same safety vest as he addressed the crowd of his supporters. #trump #biden #harris Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
