Genocide Convention (1948): Adopted by the United Nations in 1948 after the Holocaust, the Genocide Convention obligates states to prevent and punish genocide wherever it occurs. The United States signed the treaty early but did not ratify it until 1988, reflecting decades of debate over sovereignty and domestic legal enforcement. It remains a cornerstone of modern international criminal and human rights law. #unitednations #peace #humanrights #loveyourenemies

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Per fermare la fame nel mondo basta meno di un decimo della spesa in armi. E anche in Italia una persona su dieci soffre di insicurezza alimentare” “Per risolvere la fame nel mondo la prima grande azione da mettere in campo sarebbe soprattutto una: cessare le guerre, perché le guerre sono una delle cause strutturali di fame. Inoltre, gli investimenti in armi tolgono risorse alla lotta alla malnutrizione: oggi i paesi con crisi alimentari gravi sono quelli in situazioni di guerra”. Simone Garroni, Direttore Generale di “Azione Contro la Fame”, commenta così il nuovo Rapporto SOFI (Stato della Sicurezza Alimentare e della Nutrizione nel Mondo), pubblicato da cinque agenzie specializzate delle Nazioni Unite. Nel 2025 sono ancora 645 milioni le persone che soffrono la fame, pari al 7,8% della popolazione mondiale e 2,1 miliardi sono in condizione di insicurezza alimentare da moderata a grave. “E pensare”, continua Garroni, “che basterebbe meno di un decimo di quanto viene spese in armi a livello globale per fermare la fame”. Quanto incidono i tagli agli aiuti umanitari sulla fame nel mondo? Il governo Trump ha quasi interamente tagliato i fondi USAID e molti governi occidentali stanno tagliando i fondi per la cooperazione umanitaria e lo sviluppo. Secondo The Lancet, se questi tagli dovessero continuare sono previsti 14 milioni in più di morti per fame e malnutrizione al 2030. Purtroppo, tutto ciò lo tocchiamo con mano, abbiamo dovuto ridurre i nostri interventi in una serie di paesi, in particolare nella Repubblica del Congo e in Somalia. Questi tagli hanno un effetto immediato sulla sopravvivenza dei bambini malnutriti, piuttosto che sulla capacità di generare resilienza agli choc a cui sono esposte queste popolazioni. E il dispiegamento dei tagli sarà ancora maggiore nel 2026 e 2027. L'articolo “Per fermare la fame nel mondo basta meno di un decimo della spesa in armi. E anche in Italia una persona su dieci soffre di insicurezza alimentare” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. To end world hunger it would take less than one tenth of the amount spent on weapons. And even in Italy, one in ten people suffers from food insecurity. To solve world hunger, the first major action to implement would be primarily one: cease wars, because wars are a structural cause of hunger. Furthermore, investments in weapons deprive resources from the fight against malnutrition: today the countries with severe food crises are those in war situations. Simone Garroni, General Director of “Action Against Hunger,” comments thus on the new SOFI Report (State of Food Insecurity and Nutrition in the World), published by five specialized United Nations agencies. In 2025, 645 million people still suffer from hunger, representing 7.8% of the world’s population, and 2.1 billion are in a state of moderate to severe food insecurity. “And think,” Garroni continues, “that it would be enough less than one tenth of what is spent on weapons globally to end hunger.” How do cuts to humanitarian aid affect hunger worldwide? The Trump administration almost completely cut USAID funding and many Western governments are cutting funds for humanitarian cooperation and development. According to The Lancet, if these cuts were to continue, 14 million more deaths from hunger and malnutrition would be expected by 2030. Unfortunately, we feel the effects firsthand; we have had to reduce our interventions in a number of countries, particularly in the Republic of Congo and Somalia. These cuts have an immediate effect on the survival of malnourished children, rather than on the ability to generate resilience to shocks that these populations are exposed to. And the deployment of these cuts will be even greater in 2026 and 2027. The article “To stop world hunger it takes less than one tenth of weapon spending. And also in Italy one in ten suffers from food insecurity” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Italy #first #SimoneGarroni #ActionAgainstHunger #UnitedNations #Garroni #USAID #Western #Lancet #theRepublicofCongo #Somalia #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/07/23/fame-mondo-spese-armi-insicurezza-alimentare-notizie/8455793/

Israel's campaign to sever southern Lebanon in a new ‘buffer zone’

  • On March 24, Israel announced plans to occupy southern Lebanon up to the Litani River — some 30 km north of the border, nearly one-tenth of Lebanese territory — as a "defensive security zone."

  • Across Lebanon, Israeli air strikes have killed more than 1,100 people, according to the #HealthMinistry, and evacuation orders have displaced well over a million.

  • The #UnitedNations has said that the destruction of bridges has left tens of thousands of people isolated in southern Lebanon, out of reach for humanitarian convoys seeking to deliver essential aid.

  • In the south, four hospitals have sustained partial damage in the war, according to the #WorldHealthOrganization. Two are entirely closed. An Israeli strike on a primary healthcare centre in the southern town of Borj Qalaouiya on March 13 killed 12 doctors, paramedics and nurses, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

  • “Frontline responders, health workers, and civilian infrastructure including any healthcare centres are all protected by international humanitarian law,” said Imran Reza, the United Nations’ humanitarian coordinator for Lebanon. “We are seeing unacceptable loss.”

  • In the current Middle East conflict, “there appears to be an open intent to target vital civilian supply facilities, and thereby severely damage or break national and international economic interests. In turn, this will have a consequential harmful impact on civilians. It is neither a direct, necessary, or proportionate military objective, and therefore illegitimate,” said international criminal prosecutor Nigel Povoas KC.

LA NOTIZIA: L’assalto alla Corte dell’Aia parte dalla Colombia Sta agli atti della Corte internazionale di giustizia dal 5 aprile 2024. È la dichiarazione con cui la Colombia è intervenuta, ai sensi dell’articolo 63 dello Statuto, nella causa che il Sudafrica ha aperto contro Israele per genocidio a Gaza. Nel testo Bogotá scrive di volere “la sicurezza e, di fatto, l’esistenza stessa del popolo palestinese”. Il 16 luglio l’ufficio del presidente eletto Abelardo de la Espriella ha annunciato che quel documento verrà ritirato. Lo dice così: la Colombia “riprenderà una posizione seria e responsabile sulla scena internazionale, anche all’interno del sistema delle Nazioni Unite”. L’insediamento è fissato al 7 agosto. A Washington il ministro degli Esteri israeliano Gideon Sa’ar ha già incontrato il futuro omologo Omar Bula Escobar, e il conto è presto fatto: relazioni piene, visti aboliti, ambasciata a Gerusalemme. Sarebbe la nona, dopo Stati Uniti, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua Nuova Guinea, Paraguay, Fiji e Somaliland. Gustavo Petro, che quel documento lo aveva voluto, ha scritto del successore: “Chi sostiene il genocidio ne è complice”. Tre giorni prima, il 13 luglio, il Dipartimento di Stato americano aveva annunciato una campagna per “disabilitare sistematicamente” la Corte penale internazionale. Prevede telefonate ai 125 Stati parte perché escano dallo Statuto di Roma, revoche di visti al personale, sanzioni a chi collabora. Corti diverse, metodo identico. Nessuno dei due atti discute una prova, una perizia, un fatto. Si lavora sull’elenco dei presenti. Giovedì Tina Marinari, di Amnesty International Italia, è stata ascoltata dal Comitato permanente sui diritti umani della Camera. Le espressioni di preoccupazione degli Stati sono ormai «un cinico alibi», ha detto, e la loro inazione rientra fra gli elementi del genocidio in corso. Restano due frasi scritte dallo stesso Stato a ventisette mesi di distanza. Nella prima c’era l’esistenza del popolo palestinese. Nella seconda c’è la parola “responsabile”. L'articolo L’assalto alla Corte dell’Aia parte dalla Colombia sembra essere il primo su LA NOTIZIA. The attack on the Hague Court originated in Colombia. Since April 5, 2024, it has been before the International Court of Justice. It is the statement with which Colombia intervened, pursuant to Article 63 of the Statute, in the case that South Africa opened against Israel for genocide in Gaza. In Bogotá, the text states that it wants “the security and, de facto, the very existence of the Palestinian people.” On July 16th, the office of elected president Abelardo de la Espriella announced that this document will be withdrawn. It says so: Colombia "will take a serious and responsible position on the international scene, even within the United Nations system." The inauguration is set for August 7th. In Washington, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has already met with future counterpart Omar Bula Escobar, and the score is soon settled: full relations, visas abolished, embassy in Jerusalem. It would be the ninth, after the United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Fiji and Somaliland. Gustavo Petro, who wanted that document, has written about the successor: "Anyone who supports genocide is a co-conspirator.” Three days before, on July 13th, the U.S. Department of State announced a campaign to “systematically disable” the International Criminal Court. It involves calls to the 125 States parties to withdraw from the Rome Statute, visa revocations for personnel, sanctions against those who collaborate. Different courts, identical method. None of the two acts discuss evidence, an expert opinion, or a fact. Work is being done on the list of attendees. On Thursday, Tina Marinari of Amnesty International Italy was heard by the Permanent Committee on Human Rights of the Chamber of Deputies. She said that the expressions of concern from the States are now “a cynical alibi,” and their inaction falls among the elements of ongoing genocide. There remain two phrases written by the same State at twenty-seven months distance. The first referred to the existence of the Palestinian people. The second is the word "responsible." The article: The attack on the Court of The Hague starts from Colombia appears to be the first on LA NOTIZIA. #theHagueCourt #Colombia #SouthAfrica #Israel #Bogotá #Palestinian #UnitedNations #Washington #Israeli #GideonSaar #OmarBulaEscobar #Jerusalem #ninth #theUnitedStates #Guatemala #Honduras #Kosovo #PapuaNewGuinea #Paraguay #Somaliland #GustavoPetro #theRomeStatute #TinaMarinari #States #State #first #second #theCourtofTheHague #LANOTIZIA https://www.lanotiziagiornale.it/lassalto-alla-corte-dellaia-parte-dalla-colombia/

Is Digital Sovereignty Another Word for Nationalism?

In which I share my experience at the United Nations' Open Source Week, discussing the critical issues around digital sovereignty and open source discourse. I'm a little disappointed that discussions focus on the localization of technology rather than addressing fundamental questions about privacy and human rights. Please don't view sovereignty purely as a geopolitical power play - this could lead to exploitation under the guise of nationalism. I'm calling for a definition of human rights in technology and urge that meaningful outcomes should take precedence over mere geographic considerations. Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
I attended my very first Open Source Week at the United Nations. Because of some other events, I got here a day late and in the middle of a session, but I arrived at a great time: the topic under discussion was “open source and digital sovereignty”, a subject of much recent debate. Listening to the discussion unfold, I was reminded of why I have grown increasingly frustrated – and pessimistic – about most open source discourse. As I have mentioned elsewhere, open source is an artifact of the naive 90s, when we were all convinced that as long as everyone in the world had internal access and a computer, we would break down walls and make oppression a thing of the past. As the panelists were discussing topics related to digital sovereignty, they brought up many great points – infrastructure, community access, the role of open source programs, the importance of transparency, for both data and software. But as I listened, I realized there was a subtext that was going unmentioned: the reason that digital sovereignty has become such a hot-button issue is that a certain country, along with its large, multinational tech companies, has been deemed untrustworthy, triggering much Sturm and Drang about how the data of much of the world seems to be all flowing into the coffers of big American tech. Before I go any further, let me acknowledge that they are right to be concerned, and I’m glad other countries have finally noticed the inherent risks of the global imbalance of tech. I just wish they had noticed 20 years earlier. That said, I think it’s important to ask the question of what question are we actually trying to solve and what does success look like. Sovereignty as Nationalism Because national sovereignty is the initial driver of this conversation, much of the discussion has focused on where data, services, and software live, as if the same broken governance that defines American tech is magically better if it’s located in, say, Germany, France, or the UK. While I enjoy taking a good swing at Simon Wardley, I have to confess that his skepticism of the sovereignty discourse seems to be on point. Following his train of thought led me to this post by Christian Edelmann. It now occurs to me that this fixation on the location of services has led us to ask and answer the wrong question: “are American companies too powerful?” and “how do we shift the balance of power, geopolitically?” I won’t argue that those aren’t important questions, but I think they miss the larger points, namely: “what does success look like?” and “how can we guarantee privacy and access in a multi-national tech world?” I understand that there are complicating factors here. If an American company does its best to treat people’s ownership and access to their data as a human right, that doesn’t mean that its government will have the same respect, so the question of sovereignty cannot function independently of nation states. There is a very real risk that nation states will treat sovereignty as a geopolitical power exercise and not a guarantee of people’s and communities’ rights. Indeed, when you see communications from UK and EU governments, it’s in a reactionary form of “how do we distance ourselves from the USA”. The problem with this approach is that it is ripe for exploitation. We risk ending up in a place worse than where we came from. The Open Source Question Must of the discussion about the role of open source was in the form of how to guarantee transparency and open access to software, data, and services. After the panel was over, I was discussing this with another attendee, who said that keeping everything open source will be essential to preventing companies from exploiting people. While I’m a big fan of the transparency of open source, where have we heard this before? Over the last 20 years, we have seen countless examples of vendors exploiting open source code to create proprietary services that violate people’s privacy and prevent them from ownership of their data. Clearly, mandating open source doesn’t prevent companies or governments from implementing mass surveillance systems. Having witness this in the cloud computing and now AI markets, no one should be naive enough to believe that keeping software open source will be enough to protect constituents from “the new oil”. Which brings me to the motivations of companies participating in this discussion and advocating for digital sovereignty and open source transparency. It should be noted that none of the tech companies I’ve heard discussing sovereignty have mentioned human rights. In fact, during yesterday’s panel, the concept of human rights as they pertain to privacy and access was entirely missing. This is an oversight. It will be far too easy for tech vendors to reimplement tools of mass surveillance in their respective countries. In this scenario, “sovereignty” becomes shorthand for monopolistic business practices conducted under the aegis of pro-nationalism, not pro-people. Human Rights of Digital Sovereignty In contrast to the panel discussion on open source and digital sovereignty, I next attended a breakout session on “Data Governance and the Public Good”, where the subject of human rights came up exactly once, which is better than none. I’m not a fan of repeating the mistakes of the past. In the early 2000s, it was commonplace to disregard the involvement of nation states as violating the feel-good order of the day involving international ad hoc communities, coming together under a common purpose. That line of thinking is still dominant, although less so. At least now most open source community participants acknowledge the benefits of governments sponsoring a digital commons and digital public infrastructure, which necessarily requires flourishing open source communities. Now that nation states are getting involved, we face a different risk; one where governments are all too happy to watch open source proliferate and repeat the actions of the past, except this time in the name of sovereignty and on their national turf. In both cases – discounting government involvement and inviting government-fostered surveillance and exploitation – the results stem from a reluctance to explicitly tie these efforts to the protection of human rights. What does it mean to protect everyone’s right to privacy while also guaranteeing access to essential services, in the public and private sectors? I have yet to see examples of what an explicit declaration of human rights in the age of cloud and AI would look like. My chief concern is that allowing nation states to define the meaning of digital sovereignty will go no further than locking their respective populations into the same underhanded schemes but with different owners. We can and should do better than that. Let’s define the outcomes we want and then determine the best way to achieve them. The data and software can live in any number of places, as long as our human rights are respected. It doesn’t have to be consigned to a specific geographic location. If we allow nationalism to be branded as digital sovereignty, we will have failed.

Times of India | Turkish Airlines plane catches fire while landing in Kathmandu; 278 passengers on board AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A Turkish Airlines Boeing 737‑800 landed at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport on Monday around 6:45 a.m. when the right‑hand landing‑gear tire ignited, sending flames and smoke from the gear. The aircraft, flight TK 726, was arriving from Istanbul with 278 passengers and 11 crew members, including several United Nations officials. Airport security and fire crews quickly contained the blaze and evacuated everyone safely; no injuries were reported. This is the carrier’s second major incident in Nepal this year, following a February emergency landing in Kolkata after a right‑engine fire shortly after departing Kathmandu.
