The @UN Security Council convenes toady, 12 November 2024, to address the alarming risk of famine in Northern #Gaza , under the agenda item “Protection of civilians in armed conflict”. The meeting, requested by Guyana and Switzerland, the Council’s co-focal points on conflict and hunger, as well as by Algeria and Slovenia, follows the issuance of an alert by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification's (IPC) Famine Review Committee, warning about the imminent risk of famine in areas of Northern Gaza. Lord Collins of Highbury, the UK Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Africa, will chair the session, with contributions from Joyce Msuya, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Ilze Brands Kehris, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, and representatives of the Food and Agriculture Organization (@FAO ). Civilians in Northern Gaza are currently facing severe conditions due to ongoing @IDF military operations, especially in the areas of the Jabalia refugee camp, where, according to Israel, Hamas is rebuilding its capabilities. In addition, blockades in the flow of humanitarian aid have drastically limited access to food, medical supplies, and basic services for the civilian population. PAM joins the international community in calling for an immediate end to hostilities and the need for the parties involved to fully adhere to the provisions of international humanitarian law. The Assembly further calls for the protection of civilians, the release of all hostages, and for health workers and first responders to be allowed to conduct their mission to save the life of innocent people. #HumanRights #Gaza #TwoStateSolution #FoodSecurity #HumanitarianAccess #ProtectionOfCivilians #Peace Learn more: @SCRtweets

On 8 November 2024, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization @WHO , briefed the UN Security Council, urging global action to address the growing crisis of #Spyware misuse, particularly in relation to #Healthcare. He highlighted the increasing vulnerability of healthcare systems and professionals, due to surveillance technologies that are often misused to track, intimidate, and undermine the work of health workers, especially in conflict zones or politically sensitive regions. Dr. Ghebreyesus emphasized that #Spyware and surveillance technologies, when deployed irresponsibly, represent a significant threat to public health efforts, especially in areas where access to healthcare is already limited. This issue, he argued, is not just a matter of privacy but a humanitarian concern that risks destabilizing healthcare systems and ultimately compromising the health and well-being of populations. With advancements in generative Artificial Intelligence #AI, spyware has now enhanced capabilities for capturing and analyzing #BiometricData, including audio, video, and physical characteristics. Such data can be processed to create AI-generated avatars and deepfakes, which can then be used for potentially harmful purposes. In addressing the same issue, the Center for Global Studies (CGS) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) is drafting a comprehensive report on "Parliamentary Oversight of Spyware Use by State and Non-State Actors", which aims at providing a framework for parliamentary action, to prevent its misuse, while safeguarding national and individual security. PAM and @cgs_pam are deeply committed to addressing the ethical and societal challenges posed by the misuse of these tools and supports global efforts to protect human rights in the face of emerging technological threats.

7 – 8 November 2024, Nicosia, Cyprus – The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), and its Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP), in collaboration with the Minister of Agriculture of Cyprus organized a regional meeting on “Sustainable desalination and application of state of art technologies”. The event comes at a crucial moment in the global debate in mitigating the effects of climate change and global warming, as high temperatures, heat waves and poor precipitation have led to severe droughts and water stress conditions in the Euro-mediterranean region in 2024. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) was represented by Senator Simona Petrucci (Italy), PAM Rapporteur on Environment, who intervened in the session on “Circular Desalination: Recovery of water, high value minerals and chemicals from seawater, powered by waste heat and renewables. Results from Large-Scale Demonstration at the Lampedusa Island and Almeria”. In her remarks, Sen. Petrucci outlined PAM’s proactive role in advancing sustainable desalination as a reliable freshwater source, with a particular focus on circular desalination models that harness waste heat and renewable energy to recover water, minerals, and chemicals from seawater. She also highlighted Italy’s efforts in this field, as an example of effective innovation. The Regional Meeting concluded with a series of key recommendations to advance sustainable desalination practices across the Mediterranean. In Nicosia, PAM reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with UNEP-MAP, building on their ongoing model collaboration, which includes the production of a Parliamentarian’s Guide to Protecting the Mediterranean Sea and Coast, resulting from the MoU PAM and @UNEP -MAP signed in 2022. The Assembly is working at strengthening parliamentary contribution to global environmental governance, in water management and in the fight against droughts, by becoming a Permanent Observer Organization to the Conference of Parties of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), at its next COP16 in December in Riyadh (KSA), and by actively participating in the COP29 in Baku. #Water #Environment #UNEPMAP

UNESCO is considering “enhanced protection” status for Lebanon’s ancient sites, including the Roman temples in Baalbek and Tyre, in response to the potential threats posed by recent escalations in the region. Enhanced protection would offer high-level immunity for these sites, making any attacks on them subject to criminal prosecution. Remote analysis has indicated no visible damage to Baalbek and Tyre, however, @UNESCO plans further assessments and is providing technical support. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) fully supports UNESCO's initiatives to protect Lebanon’s cultural heritage and calls for international commitment to uphold these preservation efforts as already done for Palmyra in Syria. Since its establishment, PAM has actively promoted the protection of cultural heritage through organized seminars, comprehensive background research, and targeted initiatives. #LebanonHeritage #UNESCO #CulturalProtection #Baalbek #Tyre Learn more:

On 6 November, Philippe Lazzarini, @UNLazzarini Commissioner-General of the @UN United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (@UNRWA ), addressed the UN General Assembly on the Agency's situation in Gaza, following the adoption of two laws by the Knesset, which ban the operations of UNRWA in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and cut all contacts between the Israeli state officials and UNRWA. Mr. Lazzarini warned that if the laws came into effect, they would represent an "existential threat" to the Agency and its mandate to provide humanitarian support, education, healthcare, and emergency relief to Palestinian refugees. He urgently requested to UN Member States to act to prevent the implementation of the legislation against UNRWA; to ensure that any plan for a political transition delineates UNRWA’s role; and to maintain their financial support for UNRWA. In light of recent developments, UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s Chief of Staff, Courtenay Rattray, communicated with a senior Israeli foreign affairs official, stating, "I want to emphasize, as a general point, that replacing UNRWA is not our responsibility, nor do we have the capacity to do so." This reference to responsibility highlights Israel's duties as the occupying power. The Spokesperson for United Nations Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric later explained to reporters that any replacement of UNRWA would fall under Israel's responsibility, underscoring the critical importance of safeguarding the agency's essential role. PAM joins the international community in expressing deep concern over the possible collapse of UNRWA, which has a UN mandate to support Palestinian refugees. The Assembly further reiterates its call for the implementation of a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, the protection of civilians, and the resumption of negotiations towards the Two-State Solution. #UNRWA #GeneralAssembly #HumanitarianAid #Palestine #PAM #PhilippeLazzarini #Gaza Learn more:

On 4 November, the State of Israel officially notified the @UN General Assembly of its decision to withdraw from the agreement, dated 14 June 1967, with United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which allowed the Agency's operation in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. The decision follows the adoption by the Knesset, on 28 October of two laws that prohibit Israeli authorities from having any contact with UNRWA and bar the Agency from operating within Israel itself. The new legislation will come into force following a three-month period. From an operational point of view, at present, the passage of aid into Gaza and the West Bank requires close coordination between UNRWA and the Israeli authorities. However, according to the new legislation, Israel will no longer issue the agency’s staff with work or entry permits, and coordination with the Israeli military will no longer be possible. In response to these developments, UNRWA Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini , stressed that UNRWA is the largest humanitarian organization and service provider in Gaza, and dismantling it "will add an additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering". The UN Secretary-General reiterated that the work UNRWA is performing in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is essential and that there is no alternative to @UNRWA . PAM shares the concerns of the international community over the protection of civilians in Gaza and joins the calls for an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid in the Strip, as well as the release of all hostages. In a context of severe insecurity, it is critical to adhere to the values and principles of the United Nations Charter, and all the parties to the conflict must respect their obligations under the international humanitarian law and international agreements. #UNRWA #Legislation #Knesset Learn more:

He noted that an estimated 9 out of 10 murders of journalists go unpunished worldwide, stating that "impunity breeds further violence" and that this situation must change. He further mentioned the recent adoption of the Pact for the Future, which calls for the protection of journalists and media personnel operating in armed conflict situations. He urged governments to take urgent action to protect journalists, investigate crimes against them, and prosecute perpetrators, reiterating the need to end the cycle of violence and ensure that journalists can perform their essential duties safely and without fear. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) endorses this commitment, emphasizing the critical role of journalists in promoting transparency, accountability, and informed dialogue within society. PAM stands firm in its support for the principles outlined in the Pact for the Future, advocating for the protection of journalists and the need for concerted efforts to prevent such acts of violence. #Journalists #FreedomofPress #Press #HumanRights Learn more:

In this regard, taking into consideration the speed at which new technologies develop and impact the governance of the digital domain, PAM-CGS also publishes daily and weekly editions of a Digest on AI and Emerging Technologies, which collects critical and up-to-date insights on the application of AI and Emerging Technologies in five areas of interests: governance, security, legislation, defense, intelligence, and warfare. Ms. Bramlette emphasized the objective of the report, which is to provide parliamentarians with essential tools to ensure effective legislative responses and public awareness campaigns to tackle these threats. She also underscored the importance of broad-based, trustworthy, and accessible findings on the malicious use of AI by terrorist and criminal networks. PAM-CGS will present an overview of the report at the upcoming Internet Governance Forum (IGF) held in Riyadh, in December 2024. Furthermore, again in December, the Assembly is set to assume the Presidency of the UN Coordination Mechanism of Parliamentary Assemblies on Counter-Terrorism, further expanding its commitment to global counter-terrorism efforts. Looking ahead, the collaboration between PAM, CGS and @UN_CTED will continue with the drafting of principles and recommendations, possibly evolving into a comprehensive guidebook for parliaments, to support their efforts navigating the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies. The PAM-CGS daily and weekly editions of the Digest are available on the following dedicated webpages:

Emerging technologies are fundamentally altering the arms control landscape, presenting significant challenges, as well as opportunities, in the fight against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. At a recent meeting of the UN's First Committee on Disarmament, representatives from various UN-affiliated agencies highlighted concerns about the accessibility of advanced tools, such as artificial intelligence and drones, which enable terrorists or rogue states to create and deploy chemical weapons more easily. Hong Li, Director of the External Relations Division of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), emphasized the need for enhanced tracking of new delivery systems, noting the potential for agricultural drones to be repurposed for malicious use. Therefore, the OPCW is forming a working group on AI to assess its implications for chemical weapons. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (@iaeaorg ) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (@CTBTO ) are leveraging machine learning and other innovations to improve surveillance of nuclear facilities and enhance the detection of nuclear tests. In light of these developments, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) and its Centre for Global Studies (@cgs_pam ) are actively engaging with international partners to monitor and address the implications of emerging technologies for #GlobalSecurity. In an upcoming report, PAM will address the use of propaganda, deepfakes, #Misinformation and #Disinformation strategies, by State and non-State actors, with the aim to undermine democratic institutions.

A recent report by UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for the Sudan unveils a devastating escalation in sexual violence and human rights violations amid the conflict in the country. The report, which expands on the Fact-Finding Mission’s first report to the Human Rights Council in September, reveals that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed widespread sexual violence, including acts of gang rape, sexual slavery, and torture, particularly in regions like Greater Khartoum, Darfur, and Gezira. Such atrocities are part of a strategy to terrorize civilians, with particularly brutal assaults targeting in particular women and girls of all ages but also men and boys, underscoring a deeply alarming pattern of violence. This report calls for immediate protection measures for the most vulnerable in Sudan and stresses the urgent need for accountability and justice through mechanisms like the International Criminal Court (ICC) and independent judicial bodies. PAM echoes the UN's condemnation of these crimes and stands in solidarity with international efforts to uphold justice and provide immediate protection for civilians. PAM reaffirms its commitment to promoting accountability and justice, recognizing the pivotal role of the ICC in addressing such grave human rights violations. @UNHumanRights Learn more:
