Corridors of Peace的动态

I believe the world today is more at war than never. The prevailing wars and the recurrent civil wars and conflicts happening in the world make it impossible to be sure of global peace. The world stands tipping to war than to peace. Is the current form of the UN capable of dealing with ongoing conflicts or others to happen. The quietness and mere rhetoric that is ongoing shows that the UN is incapable. Even wars in very small nations continue to kill and displace millions of people, violation of human rights happening like the world cares not. Women are raped, their rights to sexual reproductive health compromised by these wars, girls are equally driven into sexual activities early, education for all the boys and girls is compromised in the watch of the UN. Where the UN has been involved it seems it has only helped to perpetuate the conflict making such remain ongoing with no site to end. The Democratic Republic of Congo is such an example. The very security council composed of countries which are looked up to lead world peace are now funding and perpetuating conflicts. Hence there is serious need to reform the UN security council and the funding of the UN so that no one country holds the entire veto power over other nations whether small or big. As everything happens, I ask myself, Is the UN capable of addressing these conflicts? ?I am reminding myself about the whole UN principles and charter. Is the world leaning into these principles and is the charter in its current form able to maintain peace and deal with various conflicts in the world? There is serious need for human introspection within the UN, are those holding offices currently, capable or they aren’t? The UN need to be run by capable individuals who can drive change and lead the world to peace than to war. The time of war is long past us, now is the time for peace and global integration that empowers every gender equally across all borders and religions. ?I thus invite us to have a look at the charter and see what has to be done to improve it if indeed we need peace in the world, peace not today but sustainable peace for generations to come. These principles are enshrined in the United Nations Charter, which was signed on June 26, 1945, and came into force on October 24, 1945. ? The Preamble of the UN Charter sets out the organization's purposes and principles, including: ? - Maintaining international peace and security - Developing friendly relations among nations - Achieving international cooperation in solving international problems - Promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms - Encouraging social progress and better living standards ? The UN Charter serves as a foundation for international relations and global governance, guiding the actions of Member States and the organization itself.

Dr. Kristen Ali Eglinton, co-founder and Executive Director of Footage Foundation, is set to join global leaders at the third Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies in Mexico City. The conference aims to explore feminist foreign policy as a pathway to social justice, addressing critical issues like climate change, sexual and reproductive health, and migration. 'For over 15 years and through our 10 U.S. State Department Public Diplomacy programs, we have learned that traditional frameworks of diplomacy and policy-making often fall short in addressing the nuanced challenges faced by women and girls in all their diversity, as well as LGBTQIA+ and marginalized communities, particularly in crisis settings,' says Dr. Eglinton. Footage Foundation's recent report, 'Compassion, Connection and Forced Displacement,' highlights the importance of compassion-based interventions for refugee women. It calls for approaches that recognize the power of compassion and connection in providing services to refugees and migrants. 'Connection and compassion are not simply 'add-ons' to programming or interventions with women and girls, but central to advancing their lives and survival, as well as to realizing many targets within the SDGs and aligning with the principles of feminist foreign policy and women, peace and security agendas,' Dr. Eglinton emphasizes. #feminism #refugeecrisis #compassion #migration #footagefoundation @footageproject

As a feminist working towards social justice, #genderequality, freedom and rights for women, for girls, for all people, I have been marching for #Palestine since the 90s. This is because #feminist liberation cannot be disentangled from the fight for racial and social justice, equality and self-determination. #Patriarchy and colonialism are intertwined. Feminist movements are, and should be engaged in dismantling patriarchy and all systems of oppression. I stand in solidarity with Palestinians in #Gaza and everywhere, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and until freedom and justice prevails. Palestine will be free. Free Palestine. #freepalestine #ceasefirenow Amplifying the efforts of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom - WILPF in the fight for gender and social justice.

New Zealand’s former Prime Minister Helen Clark recently issued a strong caution to Western nations, particularly regarding their support for Israel in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. Clark's stance is rooted in her concern for escalating regional instability and the significant humanitarian toll of the conflict. Emphasizing the dangers of additional armament support, she called for Western countries to prioritize peace-oriented interventions, including advocating for a ceasefire and equitable humanitarian access to Gaza. Clark’s perspective aligns with her history of advocating human rights and diplomatic solutions over military support. New Zealand has historically taken independent stances on Middle Eastern issues, balancing its limited economic engagement with Israel with a nuanced diplomatic approach. Notably, New Zealand's past support for UN Resolution 2234, which condemned Israeli settlements, led to strained relations with Israel, a stance that continues to impact diplomatic relations today. Clark’s comments underscore her commitment to a consistent humanitarian approach, urging Western nations to reconsider actions that might fuel further conflict rather than foster peace. For New Zealand, Clark’s statements reinforce a call for cautious engagement in the region, seeking solutions that reduce the humanitarian crisis while discouraging militaristic escalation https://lnkd.in/d69THz2n

Did you know that Iceland has been named the safest place to live in the world? With a Global Peace Index score of 1.107, it leads the way in societal safety, security, and even gender equality. ??? This peaceful nation has held this title for over a decade, reflecting its commitment to ensuring safety and happiness for all its residents. In contrast, the United States is ranked 129th, highlighting serious concerns around civil unrest and political instability. It's a stark reminder of the privilege of safety that many take for granted. As we reflect on these contrasts, it's crucial to consider what safety means for our communities and how we can collectively work towards creating environments where everyone feels secure. This conversation is not just about where we live, but about the diverse experiences and perspectives that shape our understanding of safety. What do you think needs to change in our approach to ensure security for all? Let's share insights and come together to foster a safer world for everyone. https://lnkd.in/eAMJ4Qz5
