In South Sudan, climate change-related seasonal weather patterns and extreme droughts and flooding are exacerbating existing local conflict dynamics. Assessing the impact of climate, peace and security on conflict dynamics is a crucial aspect of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) efforts to address key drivers of conflict through an integrated approach. Integrating climate, peace and security analysis into peacebuilding efforts also provides avenues for building sustainable and lasting peace.

After surviving domestic violence, Ines Santos turned her pain into purpose. Today, she leads workshops empowering young girls to recognize and speak up against abuse in their communities. Through UNODC's Women Peacebuilders program, she's training the next generation of advocates, helping to ensure no one faces violence alone. Since 2019, UNODC has been implementing a Global Programme on Strengthening Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Responses to Violence against Women, providing specific solutions that complement existing joint UN programmes and country-based projects. Its aim is to enable women who experience violence to rely on available, accessible and quality crime prevention and criminal justice responses in line with international standards and norms. This is achieved through 3 lines on interventions: Developing the evidence base on criminal justice responses to violence against women through global research and national data collection and analysis; Aligning national criminal legislation and policy frameworks on violence against women with international standards; and Developing the capacity of criminal justice systems respond more promptly and effectively to violence against women and provide essential services to victims and survivors.

United Nations Video: Humanitarians’ Deadliest Year on Record

Play Video: Humanitarians’ Deadliest Year on Record

Jens Laerke of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that 2024 is now the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers. With 281 deaths already recorded, this surpasses last year’s total of 280, which was itself a record. https://www.unocha.org/news/un-relief-chief-decries-bullets-and-bombs-against-aid-workers (New York/Geneva, 22 November 2024) The year 2024 has become the deadliest on record for humanitarian personnel, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said today, citing data from the Aid Worker Security Database. This grim milestone was reached with the recorded death of 281 aid workers globally, surpassing previous records. “Humanitarian workers are being killed at an unprecedented rate, their courage and humanity being met with bullets and bombs,” said Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. “This violence is unconscionable and devastating to aid operations. States and parties to conflict must protect humanitarians, uphold international law, prosecute those responsible, and call time on this era of impunity.” The year 2023 also saw record fatalities compared to previous years, with 280 aid workers killed across 33 countries. The war in Gaza is driving up the numbers, with more than 320 humanitarian personnel killed since 7 October 2023. Many were killed in the line of duty while providing humanitarian assistance. Most were staff members of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Threats to aid workers extend beyond Gaza, with high levels of violence, kidnappings, injuries, harassment, and arbitrary detention reported in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, Ukraine and Yemen, among other countries. The majority of fatalities involve local staff working with non-governmental organizations, UN agencies and the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement. Violence against humanitarian personnel is part of a broader trend of harm to civilians in conflict zones. Last year, more than 33,000 civilian deaths were recorded in 14 armed conflicts – a staggering 72 per cent increase from 2022. Despite the dangers, humanitarian organizations continue to deliver vital assistance, reaching nearly 144 million people in need last year. As of November 2024, they have supported more than 116 million people worldwide. On 24 May 2024, the Security Council adopted Resolution 2730 in response to the growing violence and threats against humanitarian workers. The resolution mandates the Secretary-General to recommend measures to prevent and respond to such incidents, enhance accountability, and improve protection for humanitarian personnel and assets. These recommendations will be presented at a Security Council meeting on 26 November.

Play Video: Laos backpackers avoid shots after suspected Methanol poisonings | BBC News

Suspected methanol poisoning from tainted drinks has reportedly killed six tourists in a Laos holiday town in the past fortnight. A British woman, two Australian women, a US man and two Danish nationals have died. The deaths remain under police investigation, but reports have suggested they may have consumed drinks tainted with methanol, a deadly substance often found in bootleg alcohol. Methanol poisoning has long been a well-known issue across South East Asia, particularly in the poorer countries along the Mekong river. But despite foreign governments posting warnings about alcohol consumption in these places, there is still little awareness among the backpacker party scene.

Play Video: Ireland toughens response to mass migration as communities voice concerns | BBC News

Public attitudes to immigration are hardening in the Irish Republic as the country sees a significant increase in arrivals. The government, which is facing an election, has said it will begin chartered deportation flights for those denied asylum in the coming months and is freeing up immigration officers from desk work to address the issue. Asylum applications in Ireland have risen by nearly 300% in 2024 compared to the same period five years ago. A spike in arrivals via the UK has been driven by factors including the UK’s tougher stance post-Brexit and Ireland’s relatively healthy economy. Tens of thousands of international protection applicants - some already with asylum status in Ireland and others waiting to be processed - have been sent to communities around the country, accommodated in hotels, former schools, apartments and even large tented camps. There is evidence of growing public concern, with protests in some communities against the housing of asylum seekers locally. Ireland’s housing shortage means that even those granted asylum are struggling to leave the temporary system as others arrive. Nearly 1,000 people are living in tented accommodation.
