Briefing by by Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, on Women building peace in a changing environment, during the Security Council, 9760th meeting.
"Madam President, Excellencies,
First, let me begin by wishing everyone a happy UN Day.
Every year, in this Chamber, the global community reaffirms its commitment to ensuring women’s full, equal, and meaningful participation in conflict prevention, resolution, and recovery, and to upholding their rights during times of war.
Yet, progress remains dishearteningly slow.
Peace and security decision-making is overwhelmingly dominated by men.
And ending impunity for atrocities against women and girls is still but a distant goal.
And the past year has been especially difficult.
In Gaza, tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls have been killed and injured amidst continued war and a terrible humanitarian crisis.
Meanwhile, the plight of Israeli women still held hostage demands urgent action to ensure their safety and immediate release.
In Lebanon, an escalation of destruction and displacement threatens women and girls’ safety and livelihood.
In Sudan, women are enduring extreme suffering, facing not only the loss of loved ones but also the dire lack of access to essential services and medical care.
I reiterate the Secretary-General's calls:
Civilians must be protected, civilian infrastructure must not be targeted, and international law must be upheld.
The United Nations remains steadfast.
We will not look away or lose hope.
The women, peace and security agenda will always guide our work and show a path forward.
Despite attacks on our offices, and the detention and killings of our staff in unprecedented numbers, allow me to honor the work of my colleagues and share examples of what they do.
In peacekeeping missions, the women, peace and security agenda is a key political and strategic imperative.
Our teams work tirelessly to help protect and assist women – from relocating human rights defenders to aiding women after their release from abduction by armed groups, from ensuring women’s representation in local dialogues to helping bring justice to women in places where sexual violence has long been met with impunity.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, 57 percent of cases supported by the mission’s Prosecution Support Cells in 2023 involved conflict-related sexual violence, contributing to the conviction of dozens of members of armed groups and state security forces.
In Abyei, earlier this year, one-third of participants in a post-migration conference were women – this was a first.
In the Central African Republic, the mission is helping mobilize women for local elections that have not been held in 38 years.
Deploying more diverse teams to peacekeeping operations has helped us deliver better on our mandates.
The representation of women in most categories of uniformed personnel has doubled in the last five years, and initiatives have been put in place to foster gender-responsive work environments for all peacekeepers.
Yet, much more remains to be done to improve the gender balance of our deployments and reap the benefits of inclusion and diversity.
Success in peacekeeping hinges on the political support from Member States, especially those with the great honor of sitting in this Chamber to protect international peace and security.
I commend the efforts of the United Arab Emirates to empower Women in Peace and Security. This initiative has provided training and capacity building opportunities for over 600 women from the Middle East, Africa and Asia in military and peacekeeping. The UN is a proud partner in these efforts that advance the Women, Peace and Security Agenda.
Throughout the world, the UN reaches millions of displaced women and girls and survivors of violence with food, medical support, legal aid, shelter, access to safe spaces, psychosocial support, education, and jobs and livelihood opportunities.
Yesterday, survivors of conflict-related sexual violence from many war-torn corners of the globe gathered for a Survivor’s Hearing to mark the 15th anniversary of resolution 1888.
Effective protection from sexual violence is fundamental to women’s effective participation in peacebuilding, conflict recovery, and sustainable development that leaves no one behind.

United Nations Video: Syria: Escalating Conflict Amid Regional Spillover & Israeli Airstrikes, Warns UN Envoy - Briefing
The Special Envoy for Syria Geir O. Pedersen today (23 Oct) warned that “regional spillover into Syria is alarming and could get much worse, with serious implications for Syria and international peace and security.”
Addressing the Security Council, the Special Envoy said, “hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Lebanese have fled Lebanon into Syria – into a country that is itself experiencing escalating conflict,” and noted that “the past month has seen the fastest-paced and broadest-ranging campaign of Israeli airstrikes in the last thirteen years.”
Pedersen told the Council that in the Golan, “construction activity has been carried out by the Israel Defense Forces in the vicinity of the area of separation,” and the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) had observed “an Israeli battle tank and excavators cross the ceasefire line, into the area of separation.”
He stressed that pursuant to the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement, “no military forces, equipment or activity by either Israel or Syria are permitted in the area of separation.”
The Special Envoy repeated his call “for the respect of the sovereignty, unity, independence and territorial integrity of Syria” and said Syria “cannot become a free-for-all venue, where different actors settle their scores or fuel other theatres, nor a staging ground for attacks or retaliation.”
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ (OCHA) Director of Operations and Advocacy Division, Edem Wosornu, told the Council that “Syrians are returning to their country under the extreme duress of hostilities in Lebanon.”
Wosornu stressed the need that “their safety, security and fundamental rights in Syria are ensured, and they must have the freedom to reach their preferred destinations,” adding that it was “equally vital that humanitarian organizations have unhindered access to those arriving and to all people in need.”
The OCHA official said, “unless the escalation in hostilities across the region is restrained, the recent impacts and destabilization we have seen in Syria could be just the start of much worse to come. Syrians have been suffering for far too long. Alongside de-escalation in the region, efforts for peace and stability in Syria are as urgent now as they have ever been.”
Syrian Ambassador Qusay al-Dahhak for his part said, “for more than seven decades, our region has been suffering from the Israeli occupation, the continued Israeli occupation of the Arab territories in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, and the systematic attacks, massacres, and crimes that occupation authorities have been persistently committing,” as is also “suffering from hostile policies pursued by Western countries supporting Israel at the expense of the security and stability of our countries and at the expense of the lives and wellbeing of our people.”
Al-Dahhak said, “the solution is available, if the US administration was honest, but it is not. The solution is for the US administration to stop its engagement in killing civilians in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, and to stop arming the Israeli killing machine, and enable the Security Council to fulfill its responsibility in maintaining international peace and security in the region.”

United Nations Day
Today is United Nations Day.
In his message, the Secretary-General says that this organization was built by the world, for the world.
In today’s troubled world, he says, hope is not enough. Hope requires determined action and multilateral solutions for peace, shared prosperity and a thriving planet and it requires all countries working as one.
On this Day, he calls on all countries to keep this beacon for the world, and its ideals, shining.
BRICS
Earlier today, the Secretary-General addressed the 16th BRICS Summit, held in Kazan in the Russian Federation.
The Secretary-General, in his remarks, said that he saluted the valuable commitment and support for international problem-solving of the participants. He added that no single group and no single country can act alone or in isolation and that it takes a community of nations, working as one global family, to address global challenges.
He outlined the four areas where the September’s Summit of the Future offered a roadmap for strengthening multilateralism: finance, climate, technology and, of course, peace.
He underscored the need for peace in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine.
In relation to Ukraine, he reaffirmed his position and told the delegates that we need a just peace in Ukraine in line with the UN Charter, international law and General Assembly resolutions.
Everywhere, the Secretary-General added, we must uphold the values of the UN Charter, the rule of law, and the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all States.
On the sidelines of the session, the Secretary-General had a number of pull-aside conversations, including with the President of Türkiye, Recip Tayyip Erdogan; the President of Egypt, Abdelfattah al-Sisi; the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas; and the Foreign Secretary of India, Vikram Misri, among others. He also had bilateral meetings with the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, and the President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko.
Lebanon Conference
In a video message to the International Conference in Support of Lebanon's People and Sovereignty – that took place in Paris today – the Secretary-General underscored that an immediate ceasefire is needed now – along with meaningful steps towards full implementation of Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701.
He expressed his grave concern about the safety and well-being of civilians on both sides of the Blue Line. He also urged friends of Lebanon to support the ongoing humanitarian response efforts.
The Secretary-General saluted the brave women and men of our peacekeeping force in Lebanon -- UNIFIL – and the UN family across the country, who are striving to implement their mandates in such challenging conditions.
“We need a ceasefire in Lebanon” he said – “as we need a ceasefire in Gaza and the immediate release of all hostages.”
For his part, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, said that a central element of our response must be to support efforts to end the violence.
Mr. Lacroix told the attendees of the conference that in order to advance the full implementation of Resolution 1701, the increased deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces in southern Lebanon is essential to extend the authority of the State and bring about a political solution to the situation along the Blue Line.
The Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, told the conference that concrete action to end hostilities is needed.
She stated that the humanitarian situation in Lebanon is already catastrophic. She reminded that the UN launched the $2.72 billion Lebanon Response Plan and the complementary $426 million Flash Appeal. Absent a ceasefire, however, humanitarian needs in Lebanon will only continue to grow.
And at the conference, our Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon, Imran Riza warned that the country risks falling off a humanitarian cliff as hostilities there persist.

CNN Video: Review of longer video shows Fox News edited out Trump ramblings from barbershop interview
The Fox News Channel’s recent segment about former President Donald Trump’s “surprise” visit to a barbershop in the Bronx edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions, according to CNN’s Brian Stelter. A Fox News spokeswoman said every one of Lawrence Jones’ barbershop segments are prerecorded and edited. The Bronx edition ran for nearly an hour and was cut for time and clarity, the network said. #CNN #News

BBC News Video: Menendez brothers should be released on parole, top LA prosecutor says | BBC News
Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in a case that shook America more than three decades ago, are a step closer to being released on parole.
A Los Angeles County district attorney has recommended that the brothers be resentenced by a judge because new evidence merited a review.
They are currently serving life in prison without possibility of parole in California.
For the brothers to gain their freedom, a judge would have to agree with the recommendation and then a parole board approve their release.
The 1989 murders of Kitty and Jose Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion have gripped the US for years, recently inspiring a popular Netflix series.

BBC News Video: King Charles and UK PM avoid supporting potential Commonwealth slavery reparations | BBC News
King Charles has told Commonwealth leaders "none of us can change the past" at a summit in Samoa, indirectly addressing the country's history of slave trade and the discussion around potential reparations.
But leaders could commit to learning from history and "finding creative ways to right inequalities that endure," he told the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
UK PM Keir Starmer, who is also at the summit, also told the BBC the UK "can't change our history", regarding slavery when asked about reparations.
Diplomatic sources have told the BBC a number of the Commonwealth grouping's leaders want to start a "meaningful conversation" about whether the UK should pay reparations for its role in the slave trade.

BBC News Video: Arab-Americans’ anger over Gaza threatens Kamala Harris in Michigan | BBC News
Michigan will be a key battleground state in this year’s election. Donald Trump won the state with a margin of around 10,000 votes in 2016. It swung back to the Democrats in 2020 by a few hundred thousand votes.
Crucial to this year’s election will be the large Arab-American population in the state. Dearborn, just outside of Detroit, is the first Arab-American majority city in the US.
Sarah Smith has been talking to voters there who were all Democrat voters last time but now anger over the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict is changing how they will vote in November.

ODN Video: CCTV Captures Terrifying Attack on Ankara Aerospace Company
This is the moment an explosion hit an aerospace company just outside Ankara, Turkey’s capital.
At least five people were killed, and 22 others injured in the attack.
Turkey’s Interior Minister, Ali Yerlikaya, said both attackers—a man and a woman—were killed during the assault.
The pair arrived at the Tusas aerospace and defence company in a taxi.
After stepping out, they detonated an explosive near the car, causing chaos and giving them the chance to get inside.
CCTV footage shows a man in plain clothes carrying a backpack and holding a rifle.
Witnesses said employees were quickly moved to shelters inside the building.
No one was allowed to leave for hours while authorities secured the area.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaking from a meeting in Russia, condemned the attack, calling it a “cowardly act of terror.”
