Mexico City – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is calling for the expansion of regular labour migration routes in the Americas to enhance development and reduce risks for migrants. This call to action came at the close of a high-level hemispheric meeting hosted by the Government of Mexico, where IOM Director General Amy Pope addressed over 175 delegates from 30 countries. “Migrants contribute significantly to the economic and social development of both their host and home countries, fostering more diverse and inclusive communities,” Pope emphasized. “By making regular pathways accessible and inclusive, we can harness this potential while saving…

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah recently released videos showing footage from one of its drones flying over the Israeli city of Haifa and the surrounding area. Hezbollah released the videos shortly after American special envoy Amos Hochstein went to Beirut in a bid to get Lebanese political leaders to pressure Hezbollah to withdraw from the border with Israel. Following Hochstein’s visit, Hezbollah released images captured by one of its drones called the Hudhud (Hoopoe), highlighting strategic military and civilian infrastructure inside Israel. The following day, the group’s secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, gave a speech where he reiterated that Hezbollah has the…

In Jordan’s cities, green tanker trucks supplying water are a common sight. The average Jordanian only receives one and a half days of access to piped water per week. When taps run dry, citizens and business owners pick up the phone to order a water delivery to fill their rooftop or basement storage tanks. These trucks are usually not sent by the local water utility, however. Rather, they are operated by individual vendors who source their water from private wells with a license to sell drinking water or, increasingly, without one. This is the story of the rise of illegal…

“To argue otherwise was simply an ideological madness that we will work to correct,” Meloni said. Reducing pollution should not be done “at the expense of economic and social sustainability, [but] defending and promoting European production and safeguarding tens of thousands of jobs.” She promised to “review the most ideological rules within the Green Deal and ensure technological neutrality.” “No one has ever denied that electric [vehicles] can be part of the solution to decarbonize transport,” but “we want to protect nature with people in it,” she added, noting that “in recent years the opposite has happened and human activities…
There is currently a bipartisan push from state and federal governments to introduce laws in Australia banning young people under 16 from accessing social media platforms. Politicians are citing fears that minors are exposed to harmful or inappropriate content online. The proposed reform has been accompanied by federal government plans to pilot “age assurance” technologies. Proposed tools for age verification range from uploading ID documents to the use of biometric face-scanning technologies. Most of these methods are fraught with problems, including privacy risks. Research from overseas has already raised concerns about the potential harms of introducing a social media ban.…
I want to underline the critical importance of sustainable and effective aid access into Syria. Needs are higher than ever. Humanitarian organisations must be able to deliver lifesaving assistance through the most efficient and effective means, in line with the humanitarian principles. In less than 20 days time, the current authorization for the UN to use the Bab Al Hawa border crossing will again expire. The cross-border response is a lifeline for 4.2 million Syrians in the North-West of Syria in need of urgent assistance. We have heard time and time again from humanitarians, including in this Council, that it…
