Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - UN80 - Occupied Palestinian Territory - Lebanon/Israel - Syria - Ukraine - Democratic Republic of the Congo - Development Cooperation Forum - Violence Against Children - Financial Contribution UN80 This morning, in a press encounter, the Secretary-General said that during this 80th anniversary year of the United Nations, it is essential that an organizational system as complex and crucial as ours subjects itself to rigorous and regular scrutiny to assess its fitness for purpose in carrying out its goals efficiently. This is why he has informed Member States that he is officially launching what we call the UN80 Initiative. The Secretary-General has appointed a dedicated internal Task Force led by the Under-Secretary-General for Policy, Guy Ryder, and composed of principals representing the entire UN system. The objective will be to present to Member States proposals in three areas: first, rapidly identifying efficiencies and improvements in the way we work; second, thoroughly reviewing the implementation of all mandates given to us by Member States, which have significantly increased in recent years; and third, a strategic review of deeper, more structural changes and programme realignment within the UN System. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warns that after 11 days of no humanitarian assistance entering Gaza, the crucial progress made during the first six weeks of the ceasefire continues to unravel. Across the Gaza Strip, it is becoming more difficult for people to have decent and sufficient food, water, medical services and other vital items. Efforts to restore the health system in Gaza continue, but progress is slow. In North Gaza governorate, only 16 per cent of health service points are functioning either fully or partially. That includes three out of five hospitals, six out of 50 medical points, and four of over two dozen primary healthcare centres. Major challenges also persist in solid waste management. Overflowing trash is creating unsanitary living conditions and obviously, heightening public health risks.

Informal comments to the media by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the launch of his UN80 Initiative. ----------------------------- Secretary-General António Guterres announced the launch of the UN80 Initiative to rapidly identify efficiencies and improvements, review the implementation of all mandates given to the Organization by Member States, and conduct a strategic review of “deeper, more structural changes and programme realignment in the UN System.” Speaking to reporters today (12 Mar) in New York, the Secretary-General said, “the United Nations has never been more needed,” but noted that “resources are shrinking across the board – and they have been for a long time.” He said it was “essential that an organizational system as complex and crucial as the United Nations – subjects itself to rigorous and regular scrutiny to assess its fitness for purpose in carrying out its goals efficiently.” The objectives, Guterres said, “will be to present to Member States proposals in three areas: First, rapidly identifying efficiencies and improvements in the way we work. Second, thoroughly reviewing the implementation of all mandates given to us by Member States, which have significantly increased in recent years. Third, a strategic review of deeper, more structural changes and programme realignment in the UN System.” He stressed that “budgets at the United Nations are not just numbers on a balance sheet – they are a matter of life and death for millions around the world,” and said, “we must ensure value for money while advancing shared values.” Taking a journalist’s question on Ukraine, the Secretary-General said, “we’ll welcome a ceasefire in Ukraine. Too many people have died. A ceasefire is indeed a positive thing, and we hope that it will materialize. And we hope that it will pave the way for peace, a just peace. And you know what are the parameters that we consider relevant for a just peace: the Charter, international law and the resolutions of the General Assembly.” On the tariffs being impose by the United States on other countries, he said, “we live in a global economy. Everything is interlinked. And obviously, one of the great advantages of having a situation of free trade is to create the conditions for all countries to benefit. When we enter into a trade war, I believe all will lose.” On the cuts by the Unites States and other countries on humanitarian aid, Guterres said, “we can adapt the UN, consolidate the UN, make the UN more effective and more cost-effective. What we cannot do is solve the problems of the people that we no longer are able to assist, for lack of resources.” A UN80 Initiative dedicated internal Task Force will be led by Under-Secretary-General Guy Ryder and composed of principals representing the entire UN system.

United Nations Video: Haiti: Capital at Risk as Gangs Expand Control, UN Expert Warns | Press Conference | United Nations

Play Video: Haiti: Capital at Risk as Gangs Expand Control, UN Expert Warns | Press Conference | United Nations

The High Commissioner for Human Rights' Designated Expert on Human Rights in Haiti, William O’Neill, today (11 Mar) told journalists in New York that the risk of the capital, Port-au-Prince “falling under gang control is palpable.” O’Neill said that despite efforts of the Haitian National Police and the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), “these violent criminal groups continued to extend and consolidate their hold even beyond the capital. They kill, rape, terrorize, set fire to homes, orphanages, schools, hospitals, places of worship; they recruit children, and they infiltrate all spheres of society. All this with the utmost impunity. And sometimes as many sources point out, with the complicity of powerful actors.” The human rights expert said, “violence has internally displaced over one million people, and thousands more have been displaced just in the last few weeks. They have nowhere to go,” and added that “hunger and sexual violence are widespread” in the makeshift camps. O’Neill told journalists that “the fight against impunity and corruption are major obstacles to dismantling gangs,” and the Haitian state “must make the fight against these two scourges an absolute priority.” The fight against gangs, he cautioned, “must be conducted also in strict compliance with international human rights law, particularly the right to life,” and “no circumstances, however exceptional, can justify the violation of this fundamental right.” O’Neill called on the international community to “act without delay to implement the commitments it has already made, particularly with regard to the sanctions regime, to the arms embargo and the substantial reinforcement of the Multinational Security Support Mission, all done in compliance with international rights law.” Responding to a journalist’s question, he said, “there's nowhere near enough Haitian police, and they don't have the right equipment either in terms of being able to move around at night and effectively. So, that's a big challenge right now, but I don't think it's insuperable. We're not talking about thousands and thousands of whatever, but just total of 2500 international police. Get a few more Haitian national police, but also with the right equipment. I think you could have a huge impact on the gangs.” In October 2022, the Haitian government appealed for the immediate deployment of an “international specialised force” to temporarily reinforce the efforts of the Haitian National Police (HNP) to combat gangs. In July 2023, ten months after Haiti’s initial request, Kenya agreed to lead a multinational force to the country, pledging to deploy 1,000 police officers. At least nine other countries—primarily from Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean—subsequently stated their intention to participate in the force. As of today, the MMS remains severely understaffed.

Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Commission on the Status of Women -Financing For Development - Syria - Syria/Humanitarian -Occupied Palestinian Territory -Sudan -Rohingya Refugees -Mozambique -Security Council/Afghanistan -Children and Armed Conflict COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN This morning, the Secretary-General spoke at the Town Hall meeting with Civil Society on the occasion of the 69th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. He thanked participants for being on the frontlines during these difficult times to deliver gender equality. “I stand with you – now and always,” Mr. Guterres said. He added that together “we must push countries and governments to invest in equality for women and girls, push for greater support for women’s rights organizations and for action to tackle misogyny online and close the digital gendered divide.” In these days of danger, civil society is the driver that makes the difference, the Secretary-General said, before hearing from various members of civil society on their views. And you will have seen that yesterday Member States adopted by consensus the Political Declaration, committing to respect, to protect and to promote the rights, equality and empowerment for all women and girls. FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT Yesterday, the first draft of the outcome document for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development was published by the co-facilitators, those are the Representatives of Mexico, Nepal, Norway and Zambia. The document recognizes that the world is in a sustainable development crisis, and that financing challenges are at the heart of this crisis, with a growing SDG financing gap of $4 trillion. The document sets out commitments for an impact-focused sustainable development investment push and for ambitious international financial architecture reform. Negotiations among Member States will get underway on 24 March ahead of the actual [International] Conference [on Financing for Development], which, as you all know, will take place in Sevilla, in Spain – a lovely place - from 30 June to 3 July. SYRIA We welcome the agreement signed by the leaderships of the Caretaker Authorities in Syria and the Syrian Democratic Forces that took place on Monday, 10 March. Our Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, hopes that the agreement can support and feed into a broader, credible and inclusive political transition process, in line with the key principles of Security Council resolution 2254, that leads to a new constitution and free and fair elections. Mr. Pedersen strongly encourages key international stakeholders, including the United States, Türkiye, and regional partners, to support their Syrian partners. That includes supporting a nationwide ceasefire and ensuring genuine compromises that enable peace and stability to take hold in the northeast part of Syria. SYRIA / HUMANITARIAN On the humanitarian front, we obviously remain very concerned about the impact of the recent violence we saw in coastal areas in Syria. Our humanitarian colleagues tell us that power outages continue to disrupt water services in Latakia Governorate, and schools in Latakia and Tartous have been suspended. And you may know, you saw that our High Commissioner for Human Rights, our friend Volker Türk, welcomed the announcement by the caretaker authorities of an independent investigation committee and we call on them to ensure that the investigations undertaken are prompt, that they are thorough, independent and that they are impartial. Meanwhile, on a more positive note, the delivery of cross-border assistance from Türkiye into north-west Syria is continuing. Today, 31 trucks from the World Food Programme, the International Organization for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency went through the Bab al-Hawa crossing from Türkiye into Syria, delivering more than 600 metric tons of aid supplies, including food, shelter repair and hygiene kits. This very much needed aid comes as we and our partners continue to try to mobilize assistance for people in need, including for those displaced by the recent violence.

European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said, “EU leaders have pledged to massively increase military spending, not to provoke a conflict with Russia, but to prevent it.” Addressing the Security Council today (11 Mar) Kallas, said that the EU calls for the respect of international law, international humanitarian law and human rights “in every context they are at risk or actively violated. Be it in Gaza, Sudan, the DRC, Myanmar, Haiti or Ukraine. Yet, for three long years, we have been witnessing an illegal war of aggression aimed at destroying a Member State of the UN.” She also said, “The UN Charter is sacrosanct for a safer world. Be it in Ukraine or any other country. That is why the EU has supported Ukraine, in line with its right to self-defense under the Charter. And why we stand firmly with Ukraine for a just and lasting peace in line with the Charter.” She continued, “Also because Russia has brought others – North Korea, Iran – to support its colonial battle too. North Korea’s arms transfers to Russia, the presence of troops on the ground, as well as its nuclear weapons programme are serious violations of international law and Resolutions of this Security Council. Iran’s military support to Russia, including the delivery of ballistic missiles, is a major threat to international security.” She said, “We support a future state of Palestine with Gaza as an integral part of it. And we will work with the international community in rebuilding Gaza.” She added, “Humanitarian needs continue to rise globally. Though others pull back, the EU will always step up, with almost two billion euro this year alone.” Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, said, “Some countries are today upset that we are not engaging in dialogue with Europe. Russia has not engaged in dialogue with Europe not because we suspended such dialogue but simply because the EU itself did this. There are no longer any interlocuters of sound mind left for us to speak to.” Dorothy Shea, US Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said, “The United States, as President Trump has made clear, is committed to ending the war and achieving a durable peace. We are counting on Europe and the European Union to help facilitate and to help underwrite that peace. Once a durable peace has been achieved, it will be more urgent than ever for the EU and its Member States – in this forum and others – to play a key role in providing security guarantees. Europe must be strong, resilient, self-sufficient to ensure not just peace and security in Europe, but to be a true partner in ensuring international peace and security.” Addressing the press after the Council, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said, “The world is more dangerous now than it has ever been since the Cold War. From Russia's war against Ukraine, to conflicts in the Middle East and crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo, global security is eroding fast. But this is precisely why the United Nations is needed. And without it, the world would face even greater chaos.” She also said, “In Syria, the path to stability remains fraught, as the recent shocking violence, has underscored. I call on all sides to seek peaceful solutions and to overcome the spiral of violence.” She continued, “I agree with the president Trump that the killing must stop. Putin can end this war instantly: all he needs to do is to stop bombing Ukraine. Instead, Russian attacks have intensified in recent days, once again showing that Russia does not want peace. Any deal with Putin must be backed by strong security guarantees. Russia's track record of broken treaties leaves no room for trust.” She stressed, “In response to Russia's threats, EU leaders have pledged to massively increase military spending, not to provoke a conflict with Russia, but to prevent it. As we strengthen Europe, the EU will remain a predictable, reliable and credible partner for the United Nations. Yes, the world is ablaze today, but the multilateral system we built remains the best path to a more stable world.”

Children should completely avoid "slushy" ice drinks containing glycerol, which can make them very ill, until they are at least eight years old, according to a new study. The researchers studied the cases of 21 two-to-seven-year-olds in the UK and Ireland who needed emergency treatment soon after drinking a slushy product. The brightly coloured drinks are designed to appeal to children - but most contain the naturally occurring sweetener glycerol, instead of sugar, to stop them freezing solid and give the slushy effect. If a young child drinks a slushy too quickly, glycerol intoxication could cause shock, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and loss of consciousness.

Play Video: Syria latest: historic deal signed after fighting kills over 1,000

Syria's central government has signed a deal with the Kurdish-led authority that controls the country's northeast. It's a major breakthrough for Interim President Ahmed Al-Sharaa. It comes as the defence ministry says it's completed its operation against supporters of ousted president Bashar Al-Assad in his coastal heartland. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe) More than a thousand people are reported to have died in the last few days - most of them civilians from the Alawite minority sect Assad belongs to. The violence erupted along the Mediterranean coast on Thursday when Assad loyalists launched a coordinated assault on security forces in Jableh. Fighting quickly spread to Tartus and Latakia - formerly an Assad stronghold - as the government moved to contain the insurgency, helped by fighters from across the country. Then the revenge killings began. According to a human rights organisation 545 civilians were killed in Latakia and 262 in Tartus. While in the Hama countryside 156 people were killed and 10 in the city of Homs. ----------------------- Follow us: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Channel4News/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/Channel4News TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@c4news Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/channel4news/
