A "Turning Point": How International Courts Are Addressing The Climate Emergency

Co-published with One Earth Now

The climate crisis is the single greatest global public health threat of this century, health professionals say. Human rights experts warn it poses an unprecedented risk to human rights. For the world’s poor and most vulnerable people and communities on the frontlines of climate impacts like rising seas, it is an existential crisis threatening their very survival.

Yet the global response to what scientists say is undoubtedly a global emergency has fallen woefully short, through a United Nations governance framework that essentially rests upon voluntary pledges that nations of the world submit – called Nationally Determined Contributions – to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, leading climate experts wrote to top UN officials calling for reform of the international climate negotiations, arguing that the “current structure simply cannot deliver the change at exponential speed and scale, which is essential to ensure a safe climate landing for humanity.”

It didn’t start on October 7: A historical timeline of Israel’s brutality towards Palestinians

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

The narrative around October 7 often overlooks the deep-rooted history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. This timeline reveals key events dating back to 1897, when the First Zionist Congress was held, through the Nakba in 1948, and decades of subsequent violence. The focus on a single day obscures a much longer story of displacement and systemic injustice that continues to affect Palestinians today.

Gaza hunger crisis: Desperate crowds storm US aid distribution site in Rafah as operation collapses

May 27, 2025 #Palestine #Israel #Gaza

Chaotic scenes unfolded in Rafah, southern Gaza, as Palestinians rushed a US aid distribution site in Tal as-Sultan, prompting American security personnel to fire warning shots. Israeli forces reportedly intervened remotely to disperse crowds. Israeli Army radio cited security sources distancing Israel from the incident while confirming US contractors regained control. The aid was distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial organisation established after Israel blocked UN access in March. Footage shows desperate civilians amid strict aid restrictions. The foundation’s private contractor-led operations have drawn criticism for lacking UN neutrality protocols. This incident highlights escalating tensions over aid delivery in the besieged enclave.

Al Jazeera’s correspondents are tracking developments across key locations, including Hind Khoudary and Hani Mahmoud in Gaza, and Kristen Saloomey at the United Nations in New York. We’re also joined by analysts and experts: Tamer Qarmout, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, speaking from Doha; Ahmed Bayram, Middle East Spokesperson for the Norwegian Refugee Council, joining us from Amman; and Chris Gunness, former Chief Spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, speaking from London.

We are running out of time to save lives. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, as a result of the ongoing Israeli-imposed siege that has lasted for over two months. We call on the Israeli authorities and their supporters to abide by International Humanitarian Law and follow the principles which allow for unhindered humanitarian aid for people trapped inside the Strip.

Fifty years ago Thinh Nguyen left his homeland aboard an American navy ship. Some of his compatriots escaped in helicopters. Tens of thousands fled in makeshift boats. Many more, including Mr Nguyen’s father and brother, were left behind as troops from North Vietnam stormed into Saigon, then the capital of American-backed South Vietnam. The chaotic evacuation marked the end of the Vietnam war, badly damaged American credibility and left Vietnam in Communist hands. It also helped create one of the world’s biggest diasporas.

NEW UNICRI Report: Crimes Associated with Critical Minerals in Southeast Asia

As Southeast Asia’s role in global critical mineral supply chains grows, so does its exposure to criminal threats like environmental crimes, corruption, and illicit financial flows.

UNICRI’s latest publication analyzes how various actors exploit legal and enforcement gaps across the mineral value chain. It includes case studies on unlawful extraction, smuggling, and corruption-linked offenses.

🔍 Key criminal patterns identified:

  • Illegal mining operations
  • Corruption in licensing and environmental compliance
  • Smuggling and laundering of proceeds
  • Lack of supply chain transparency

🛡️ Recommendations to strengthen regional responses:

  • Enhance financial investigation and AML cooperation
  • Develop traceability tools and leverage complementary technologies such as satellite monitoring
  • Build enforcement capacity on mining-related crime
  • Promote inter-agency coordination
  • Empower Indigenous and local communities through strengthened FPIC implementation
  • Advance research on criminal methodologies in mineral supply chains

UNICRI supports collaboration among Member States and relevant stakeholders to promote secure, transparent, and sustainable mineral supply chains.​

An estimated 39.5 million people globally suffer from drug-use disorders — with a growing number hooked on synthetic drugs that are cheaper, more accessible, and far more lethal. We investigate the impacts of this synthetic curse, beginning in Karachi, where millions of young Pakistanis are caught in a deadly spiral of addiction and crime.
