Security Council Press Statement on Mass Graves in Gaza

The following Security Council press statement was issued today by Council President Pedro Comissário Afonso (Mozambique):

The members of the Security Council expressed their deep concern over reports of the discovery of mass graves, in and around the Nasser and Al Shifa medical facilities in Gaza, where several hundred bodies, including women, children and older persons, were buried.

The members of the Security Council underlined the need for accountability for violations of international law and called for investigators to be allowed the unimpeded access to all locations of mass graves in Gaza to conduct immediate, independent, thorough, comprehensive, transparent and impartial investigations to establish the circumstances behind the graves.

The members of the Security Council reiterated their demand that all parties scrupulously comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law, in particular regarding the protection of civilians and civilian objects.

The members of the Security Council reaffirmed the importance of allowing families to know the fate and whereabouts of their missing relatives, consistent with international humanitarian law.

The members of the Security Council emphasized the imperative of all parties to immediately and fully implement resolutions 2728 (2024), 2720 (2023) and 2712 (2023).

When I studied chemical engineering I often found the need to rewrite lecture notes, handouts and books in order to gain a thorough understanding of the subject I was reading. As much as time permitted I used to draw mindmaps of the reading material combining the symbols on the left in the image below:

The first ones are probably known, but some of these may need some explanation. I will list all of them with my own explantions to make clear what I mean.

1. B is a part of A. B is a subset of A. B is a property of A.
2. B is partly a part of A. B is a almost a subset of A. B is to a very small degree a property of A.
3. A equals B. A and B are the same thing.
4. B is a consequence of A. If A happens then B happens as a consequence.
5. A becomes B. First there is only A, later there is only B.
6. This describes a process or a verb. A is put into B. Example: A reactant (A) is fed into a reactor (B).
7. A affects property B and causes a decrease, and B is a property of some other object as drawn in 1.
8. A affects property B and causes an increase, and B is a property of some other object as drawn in 1.
9. A intends to cause B to come into existance. Example: A company (A) strives to create profit (B).
10. A strives/wants/intends to become B. Example: One strives to keep the concentration of reactant (A) in a reactor to be 0.1 mol/liter (B).

What are the conventional mathematical names and symbols used to denote these relations above?

(file) 19 January 2024Humanitarian Aid Babies are being “delivered into hell” in Gaza with many others likely dying as a result of conflict with Israel and increasingly dire conditions in the enclave, UN humanitarians warned on Friday. Reiterating urgent international calls for a ceasefire, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that there have been nearly 20,000 births since the start of widespread Israeli bombardment in response to Hamas-led attacks in Israel that left some 1,200 dead and approximately 250 taken hostage. Chronic aid access problems have meant that Caesarean sections have been performed without anaesthetic while other women have been unable to deliver their stillborn babies because medical staff are overwhelmed, the UN agency said.

>> Xu hướng gia tăng tảo hôn: Lời cầu hôn tuổi 15

Tăng cường tiếp cận thông tin và giáo dục cho trẻ em ở lứa tuổi từ 13 đến 18 tuổi về sức khỏe sinh sản, nhận thức về hôn nhân phù hợp với đặc điểm văn hóa các dân tộc khác nhau trong nhà trường và trong cộng đồng.

Trong rất nhiều hủ tục, tập tục lạc hậu, có một vấn nạn đã tồn tại lâu nay đó chính là nạn tảo hôn và hôn nhân cận huyết thống. Luật pháp về hôn nhân và gia đình đã quy định tuổi kết hôn ở phụ nữ là từ đủ 18 và nam giới là từ đủ 20, nhưng theo thống kê gần đây nhất thì 11% phụ nữ tuổi từ 20 đến 49 đã kết hôn hoặc đã sống chung như vợ chồng trước tuổi 18 và vùng trung du miền núi phía Bắc là các tỉnh có tỷ lệ tảo hôn cao hơn so với các vùng khác trong cả nước.

Vấn nạn tảo hôn vẫn đang là một thực trạng nhức nhối ở một số địa phương hiện nay. Điều này không những vi phạm pháp luật mà còn để lại những hệ luỵ nghiêm trọng, lâu dài về mặt xã hội.

Theo kết quả khảo sát, tình trạng tảo hôn ở người dân tộc thiểu số là 21,9%. Tất cả 53 dân tộc thiểu số đều có tình trạng tảo hôn, trong đó, 5 dân tộc tỉ lệ tảo hôn cao nhất gồm: dân tộc Mông (51,5%), Cờ Lao (47,8%), Mảng (47,2%), Xinh Mun (44,8%), Mạ (39,2%).

Kết hôn cận huyết thống không chỉ ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến sức khỏe của bà mẹ và trẻ em, mà còn kéo lùi nền kinh tế của cả nước. Trẻ em sinh ra từ các cặp vợ chồng tảo hôn và hôn nhân cận huyết thống có tỉ lệ mắc các bệnh di truyền, dị tật bẩm sinh, suy dinh dưỡng, suy giảm sức khỏe và tử vong sơ sinh cao hơn trẻ em bình thường khác.

Journalist casualties in the Israel-Gaza war

December 4, 2023 4:09 PM EST

Editor’s note: The list below is CPJ’s most complete account of journalist deaths in the war. Our database will not reflect many of these casualties until we have fully investigated the circumstances surrounding them. For more information, read our FAQ.

The Israel-Gaza war has taken a severe toll on journalists since Hamas launched its unprecedented attack against Israel on October 7 and Israel declared war on the militant Palestinian group, launching strikes on the blockaded Gaza Strip.

CPJ is investigating all reports of journalists and media workers killed, injured, or missing in the war, which has led to the deadliest month for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992.

As of December 4, CPJ’s preliminary investigations showed at least 63 journalists and media workers were among the more than 16,000 killed since the war began on October 7—with more than 15,500 Palestinian deaths in Gaza and the West Bank and 1,200 deaths in Israel. The deadliest day of the war for journalist deaths was its first day, October 7, with six journalists killed; the second-deadliest day occurred on November 18, with five killed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told Reuters and Agence France Press news agencies that it could not guarantee the safety of their journalists operating in the Gaza Strip, after they had sought assurances that their journalists would not be targeted by Israeli strikes, Reuters reported on October 27.

Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict during the Israeli ground assault, including devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications, supply shortages and extensive power outages.
