Press Conference: Chair of the working group on enforced disappearances, Gabriella Citroni -------------------------- Enforced disappearances have a ripple effect on the communities and societies where they take place due to the continuous nature of the crime, the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances warned today (21 Oct). “Enforced disappearance is a crime with many victims,” the Working Group said. “It is not the victim of enforced disappearance alone who is victimized, but also the often-forgotten family members and loved ones, and, in certain circumstances, entire communities who suffer direct harm.” Briefing reporters in New York City after addressing the UN General Assembly, Gabriella Citroni, Chair-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, reported that since its inception in 1980, the Working Group has transmitted a total of 61,626 cases to 115 States. The number of cases under active consideration that have not yet been clarified, closed or discontinued stands at 48,619 in a total of 100 States. In its annual activities report, the Working Group voiced serious concerns at the escalating number of cases it is recording in the context of armed conflicts. “We found that there is a need for awareness raising, but also the capacity to answer both at the regional level and at the universal level,” the expert said. The Working Group continued to study new modalities of enforced disappearance in the context of elections. The report notes that, in the context of elections, enforced disappearance is difficult to pinpoint and address, as it is often only one out of many forms of violence. Moreover, the disappeared often reappear after brief periods and therefore cases go unreported. Lastly, as with the case of enforced disappearance more broadly, which is committed with the direct or indirect involvement of the State, it creates a significant barrier to reporting and documentation, notably due to fear of reprisals. Citroni emphasized that 2024 “across the world, is the year with the highest number of elections. One general point I would emphasize is that we have recommendations directed not only at states, but also at online platforms operators, because of the role they would play in this context.” She urged States to take immediate steps towards ensuring comprehensive implementation and enforcement of the absolute prohibition of enforced disappearance, in line with their obligations to prevent, investigate, prosecute and punish those responsible for such crimes, search for the disappeared, and provide adequate reparations for the harm suffered. The Special Rapporteurs, Independent Experts and Working Groups 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 from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

Play Video: Quantum technology will impact peace & security in many significant ways - Security Council Briefing

Briefing by Robin Geiss, The Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, on anticipating the impact of scientific developments on international peace and security, during the Security Council, 9753rd meeting. ---------------- The Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, Robin Geiss, today (21 Oct) told the Security Council that as the scientific and technological landscape evolves at a “blistering pace, we often lack a clear sense of what is being developed, by whom, and with which resulting impacts, including for international peace and security.” Geiss, briefing a Council meeting on “anticipating the impact of scientific developments on international peace and security,” said “within the next 5 to 10 years, quantum technology will impact peace and security in many significant ways.” First, he said, “it will disrupt information and communication security by making traditional encryption techniques ineffective and therefore obsolete.” Second, he continued, “quantum sensors will enable the detection of objects underground or underwater, revolutionizing warfare, on the one hand, and monitoring and verification efforts, on the other.” Finally, Geiss added, “quantum computing will unlock a new era for AI by enabling computation of models that cannot currently be run on even the most powerful computers.” Also briefing the Council, the President of the Foundation Council (DCAF) at the Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance, Amin Awad called on member states to “act with courage and foresight to ensure that emerging technologies fulfil their promise to advance global peace and security.” Awad said, scientific advancements in neurotechnology, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence and quantum computing are already reshaping our world,” and added that “no effort should be spared to ensure these developments are for the benefit of human and not for evil.” For her part, Japan’s Ambassador for Science and Technology, Kaji Misako, said, “the world must join forces to support innovation while properly mitigating the risks and misuse of emerging technologies,” and noted that Japan “has led the international discussion on the governance of advanced AI systems to achieve safe, secure, trustworthy AI, including through the Hiroshima AI process, launched in May 2023.” Speaking to reporters outside the Council before the briefing, Swiss Ambassador Pascale Christine Baeriswyl, joined by her Sierra Leonian and Slovenian counterparts, said “rapid scientific advances can accelerate the realization of the aspirations of the United Nations across all three pillars of its work sustainable development, human rights, as well as peace and security. We intend to prepare the Council for the future to act early and manage uncertainty. To that end, we will seek expert advice and collaborate with academic and research institutions to provide the Council with the needed evidence based information.” Council members are currently negotiating a draft presidential statement proposed by Switzerland in connection with today’s meeting on the impacts of scientific developments on peace and security.

Briefing by Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and Americas, Departments of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and Peace Operations, on Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine. ----------------------- Briefing the Security Council Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Peace Affairs said, “widespread and systematic reports of torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war remains a grave concern. 97 percent of Ukrainian prisoners interviewed by OHCHR since March 2023 provided consistent and detailed accounts of torture or ill-treatment during captivity. 68 percent reported sexual violence.” Jenčan also highlighted the civilian toll of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, citing data from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Jenča said, “since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, launched in violation of the UN Charter and international law, 11,973 civilians, including 622 children, have been killed. 25,943 people, including 1,686 children, have been injured. He also raised concerns about renewed attacks on Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which have damaged six civilian vessels and grain infrastructure since September. “Wheat prices have increased more than six percent between 1 September and 14 October,” he noted, attributing the spike to these attacks.”

Speaking at the inauguration of a renovated Africa Hall in Addis Ababa, Secretary-General António Guterres said the continent deserved a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. He also called for resolute action and renewed solidarity to help Africa rise to its challenges. ---------------- Secretary-General António Guterres today (21 Oct) in Addis Ababa said, "there is now a consensus from Member States that the Security Council must be reformed, and there is a consensus of all Member States that the key aspect of that reform is to have two African members as permanent members of the Security Council." Guterres, who took part in the 8th African Union–United Nations annual conference said, "Africa faces enormous obstacles to its development” which are “deeply rooted in the colonial legacy.” Speaking at a joint press conference after meeting with the African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, he said, “African countries gained independence with their economies and to a certain extent, their societies distorted by the interests of the colonial powers that organized their economies to the benefits of the colonists." The Secretary-General announced that, “we just decided to create the common working group with the Economic Commission for Africa and the African Union Commission to do serious research, to allow to contribute to the creation of an African strategy to bridge the digital divide and the Artificial Intelligence divide, and to overcome all the enormous structural difficulties and impediments that exist today, and to be able to claim the resources that will be necessary for it to be possible.” The AU – UN high-level discussions, co-chaired by Faki and the Secretary-General, focused on progress in the implementation of cooperation frameworks between the two organizations, as well as the operationalization of Security Council resolution 2719, which establishes the framework for financing of African Union-led peace support operations through UN assessed contributions. Participants also discussed joint action, as well as challenges linked to peace, security, development, human rights and the impact of climate change on the African continent. Discussions also included the implementation of the Pact for the Future. The Secretary-General also participated in a ceremony for the inauguration of a renovated Africa Hall. This hall was built for the Organization of African Unity, now the African Union.

Israel has carried out air strikes across Lebanon targeting branches of a bank used by Hezbollah, as they seek to disrupt the militant group’s finances. According to a senior Israeli intelligence official, the strikes targeted al-Qard al-Hassan "all over Lebanon”. Hezbollah uses this specific bank to pay operatives and purchase arms, as alleged by the official. The bank has since issued a statement, saying the attacks are a sign of the "bankruptcy of the enemy" and accusing Israel of hitting “social targets”. They also said they have taken all measures "to preserve the trust of people's deposits and save their lives" since the start of the conflict. #beirut #israel #hezbollah 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/
