The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is among 74 new additions to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register, the Director of the Division for Digital Inclusion and Policies and Digital Transformation at UNESCO, Guilherme Canela de Souza, told reporters in New York today (17 Apr) Briefing via video teleconference from Paris, Canela de Souza said, “it's impossible to protect and promote the free flow of ideas and knowledge, if we haven't preserved this knowledge, these ideas in the first place.” He said the Memory of the World Register “is about the documental heritage, is about protecting our ideas, our knowledge, in order for us to be able to communicate them, to be accessible.” The UNESCO official said, “if we want to know the chemical composition of our planet, we go to the periodical table. If we want to understand the human journey in this planet, the human journey related to knowledge, it's a good start to look into the Memory of the World Register. There you are going to find what we have been doing related to music, to philosophy, to cinema, to international relations, to religion, to human rights, to history in general, to science, to languages, to literature.” He said, “the new 74 collections that the Executive Board of UNESCO just approved today in its session, they were suggested by 72 countries from all over the world, plus four international organisations.” The Geneva Conventions and their protocols, “a cornerstone of international humanitarian law,” Canela de Souza said, is also being inscribed. A third document, he continued, “is the 1991 Windhoek Declaration on promoting an Independent and pluralistic African press,” which he added, “is a particularly important relevance for press freedom. It this actually the origin of the World Press Freedom Day.” The Register consists of documentary collections including books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, and sound or video recordings, which bear witness to the shared heritage of humanity. These items often are extremely fragile and at risk of deterioration or exposure to disaster. Collections are added by decision of UNESCO’s Executive Board, following the evaluation of nominations by an independent international advisory committee.

United Nations Video: Shakespeare at the UN – In Celebration of English Language Day 2025 | United Nations

Play Video: Shakespeare at the UN – In Celebration of English Language Day 2025 | United Nations

An exploration of how the timeless works of Shakespeare, in reflecting the human experience, can resonate with the core values of the UN, such as promoting understanding of humanity and strengthening global connections. The UN Movie Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council will present the 2nd Annual “Shakespeare at the UN”– an exploration of how the timeless works of Shakespeare, in reflecting the human experience, can resonate with the core values of the UN, such as promoting understanding of humanity and strengthening global connections. Shakespeare’s literature is more than mere words on a page. It is a mirror held up to the values and aspirations of our shared humanity, echoing the very essence of the United Nations. It resonates across languages and cultures. Shakespeare can connect us all: therefore, the excerpts will be performed through a multilingual and multicultural lens - featuring performances in some of the UN's official languages (including Mandarin Chinese, Swedish, Ukrainian). The programme will include monologues about peace and war. It will also delve into the UN theme of climate action, and showcase O ruined piece of nature – penned by Michelle Terry, the Artistic Director of The Globe, featuring artists including Stephen Fry, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Helen Schlesinger, Shubham Saraf, Paul Ready, Rosalie Craig, Hadley Fraser, Philip Cumbus, and Tanika Yearwood. London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama will present monologues focused on sustainable development and the spirit – and how they affect the world. The program delves further into the UN's work through Shakespeare, showcasing themes including human rights. We will be treated to a special contribution from the Royal Shakespeare Company. Opening remarks will be delivered by H.E. Dame Barbara Woodward, DCMG, OBE, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations. On this occasion, messages will be delivered Josette Bushell-Mingo OBE, Principal and CEO of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Directors of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Michelle Terry, Artistic Director of Shakespeare's Globe, and Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare Institute. English Language Day at the UN is celebrated annually April 23rd, the date traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. As well as being the most famous playwright, who wrote in English, Shakespeare also had a huge impact on modern-day English. Today, every one in four people in the world uses English. At the United Nations, English is one of the six official languages of the Organization. As we embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of Shakespeare’s timeless wisdom, the performances in “Shakespeare at the UN” aims to spark reflection, healing, and a renewed commitment to the noble ideals that bind us together as nations under the banner of the United Nations. 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.

Play Video: Reform of the Security Council: Negotiations update -Press Conference | United Nations

“The road to reform is undeniable complex,” Chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) on Security Council reform, Tareq AlBanai said, emphasizing “steady and meaningful steps” are taken “with continued constructive engagement, growing convergences around principles of transparency, inclusivity and accountability, and the momentum generated by the Pact for the Future.” Kuwaiti Ambassador AlBanai spoke to reporters today (17 Apr) as the Chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) on the question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council and other matters related to the Council. He spoke on the status of the negotiations taking place in the UN General Assembly. Ambassador AlBanai said, “The Pack to the Future recognizes the centrality of a reformed Security Council in strengthening multilateralism and restoring trust in global governance.” “Notably, the Pack includes the most progressive and concrete commitment to Security Council reform since the 1960s. It aims to enhance the Council's effectiveness and representativeness with a particular emphasis on addressing the historical injustice against Africa,” he added. The Chair of the negotiation group highlighted that the session of Security Council reform within the packet outlines three key actions. He explained, “The first action addresses areas of convergence and parameters for reform, such as improving the representation of underrepresented and unrepresented regions and groups, including Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean.” “It also calls for intensified efforts to find agreement on the issue of categories of membership,” Ambassador AlBanai added. The second action focuses on the IGN process itself, he said, “encouraging the submission of additional models with a view toward developing and consolidated models in the future.” The Chair of the negotiation group added that the third action proposes interim concrete measures to enhance the Council's capacity to maintain international peace and security in the meantime, “including the full implementation and adherence of article 273 and all provisions of the UN Charter as they relate to decision making processes in the Council.” The Kuwaiti Ambassador encouraged all Member States and negotiating groups to put forward new proposals or update to existing ones. “The spirit of reform requires both courage and creativity, and the active engagement of all delegations remains essential as we work to find consensus on core elements of the Security Council reform,” he concluded.

United Nations Video: Haiti: Over one million people displaced - Press Conference | United Nations

Play Video: Haiti: Over one million people displaced - Press Conference | United Nations

Press conference by Amy Pope, Director General of then International Organization for Migration (IOM), on her visit to Haiti. -------------------------- The head of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) warned that escalating violence and funding shortfalls are crippling humanitarian efforts in Haiti, where over one million people are now displaced - triple the number from just a year ago. “It is incredibly difficult to get to the people who are most in need,” said IOM Director General Amy Pope at a press briefing in New York today (Apr 16). “The capital city of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, is 85 percent occupied by gangs. It is impossible for people to go in and out of the capital city safely by road, even for humanitarian workers and the diplomats who work in the capital.” Gang control over vast areas of the capital has forced families to flee repeatedly, leaving many without access to shelter, clean water, or medical care. “I had the chance to see some of the humanitarian sites… and you just see thousands of people who are stacked one on top of the other in very, very tight quarters,” Pope said. The crisis is compounded by deportations. Nearly 200,000 Haitians were returned from neighboring countries last year, placing additional strain on already overwhelmed services and infrastructure. “Like every other UN agency, we are navigating a complex situation - not just of access, but also of financing,” Pope noted. “Many of our partners have lost funding altogether… and of course, they were not able to meet all of the humanitarian needs that existed even before these most recent funding cuts.” Pope said IOM staff have been directly affected by the violence. “We ourselves have had staff who've been kidnapped, staff who have had to be evacuated, [and] otherwise been significantly impacted by the situation,” Pope said. With resources dwindling, IOM has undertaken internal reforms to sustain critical operations. “We moved very, very fast to localize staff closer to where our operational capacity is ongoing… and we have made a number of tough decisions to make sure that we're really focused on core IOM activities,” concluded Pope.

The Israeli military has said an "operational misunderstanding" led to the killing of 14 emergency workers in Gaza last month. An inquiry into the incident by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) found a series of failings. It said the killing of a UN worker shortly afterwards was "a breach of orders during a combat setting". It added that the deputy commander of the unit involved has been dismissed "for providing an incomplete and inaccurate report during the debrief". Fourteen emergency workers and a UN worker were killed on 23 March after a convoy of Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) ambulances, a UN car and a fire truck came under fire by the Israeli military.

[Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe] Exactly two years ago, the war erupted in Sudan and the atrocities have continued to mount each day since. Mass Killings. Rape, famine and ethnic cleansing. The war began after the one-time allies the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces started fighting in the streets of Khartoum.
