WHEN MOTHER EARTH SENDS US A MESSAGE

Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action. Nature is suffering. Oceans are
filling with plastic and turning more acidic. Extreme heat, wildfires, floods,
and hurricanes have affected millions of people. We continue to face COVID -19,
a worldwide health pandemic linked to the health of our ecosystem. For
International Mother Earth Day (22 April), let's be reminded that we need a
shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet.
Let’s promote harmony with nature.

Mother Earth is a common expression for the planet earth in a number of
countries and regions, which reflects the interdependence that exists among
human beings, other living species and the planet we all inhabit.

UNFPA, Women and Gender Equality

MY BODY IS MY OWN

Bodily autonomy means that we have the power and agency to make choices over our
bodies and futures, without violence or coercion. This edition of the State of
World Population, UNFPA highlights why bodily autonomy is a universal right that
must be upheld. The report reveals how serious many of the shortfalls in bodily
autonomy are; many have worsened under the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Right now, for instance, record numbers of women and girls are at risk of
gender-based violence and harmful practices such as early marriage.

UNDP, Democracy and Governance

THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION

Twenty first century problems cannot be tackled with 20th century institutions.
There’s a growing gap between the interconnected, structural, and increasingly
unpredictable and complex challenges we are facing. The climate emergency, the
lack of trust in institutions, growing levels of inequality, particularly for
women, highlight the need for change. UNDP calls for new policies grounded in
humility that acknowledge that radical uncertainty is now our reality and that
it can only be tackled with deep and wide-ranging systemic change.

IMF, Democracy and Governance

TAILORING GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

The race to vaccinate against COVID-19 continues, but the pace of inoculation
varies across countries, with access unavailable to many. Global cooperation
must be stepped up to produce and distribute vaccines at affordable costs. The
sooner vaccinations curb the pandemic, the faster economies can return to
normal. Many low-income countries, even after doing their part, face challenges
in dealing with the pandemic, in the near term and for development over time, as
indicated in recent IMF research. They will need additional assistance.

UNEP, Human Rights

HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE A HUMAN RIGHT

UNEP highlights at least 155 states recognize a healthy environment as a human
right, either through national legislation or international accords, like
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

UNRWA, Humanitarian Aid

BE THE LIGHT FOR GAZA

The people of Gaza are battling a pandemic, unemployment, and poverty while
trying to cling to hope. UNRWA launched the 2021 Ramadan campaign so everyone

UNESCO World Art Day (15 April) reinforces the links between art and society,
encourages greater diversity of expression and highlights artist contributions
to sustainable development.

FAO, Agriculture and Food

FAO GOODWILL AMBASSADOR THOMAS PESQUET

European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet is named FAO Goodwill Ambassador
on the observance of the International Day of Human Space Flight. Pesquet will
help FAO raise awareness about the importance of transforming the world's
agri-food systems, making them more resilient, inclusive, efficient, and
sustainable to overcome the challenges of persisting and growing hunger, and
preserving the planet's environment and biodiversity. FAO believes in the
potential and contribution of space science and technology to end hunger.

ILO, Employment

DECENT WORK IN DIGITAL LABOUR PLATFORMS

After the COVID-19 outbreak, demand grew considerably. The government deemed
delivery work as essential, next to key activities such as public health and
transportation, among others. ILO features the challenges faced by digital
platform workers, who have been contributing greatly during this crisis. It
sounds nice to take part in essential work, but decent work would be better.
Treated by the companies as independent contractors, most of us have no social
protection benefits, such as pension coverage, health, or insurance plans.

IFAD, Agriculture and Food

THE PROMISES THE OLIVE GROVE HOLDS

Growing olive trees in Jordan, one of the driest countries in the world, isn’t
easy. IFAD’s work in Jordan focuses on increasing the agriculture sector’s
contribution to national GDP by creating jobs. This empowers rural people –
especially women and youth – to turn their farming into sustainable, profitable
small businesses. Local programmes help small-scale farmers become more
resilient to the effects of climate change and other risks to their production,
as well as on facilitating access to financial services and markets.

around the world. The first donation to the campaign, made by Alisson, will
contribute with supplies to locations in the Amazon and collaborate with the
efforts of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and partners.

WHAT WE DO



Due to the powers vested in its Charter and its unique international character,
the United Nations can take action on the issues confronting humanity in the
21st century, including:

 * Maintain international peace and security
 * Protect human rights
 * Deliver humanitarian aid
 * Promote sustainable development
 * Uphold international law



DELIVER HUMANITARIAN AID

One of the purposes of the United Nations, as stated in its Charter, is "to
achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an
economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character."  The UN first did this
in the aftermath of the Second World War on the devastated continent of Europe,
which it helped to rebuild.  The Organization is now relied upon by the
international community to coordinate humanitarian relief operations due to
natural and man-made disasters in areas beyond the relief capacity of national
authorities alone.

PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

From the start in 1945, one of the main priorities of the United Nations was to
“achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an
economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character and in promoting and
encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all
without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.”  Improving people’s
well-being continues to be one of the main focuses of the UN. The global
understanding of development has changed over the years, and countries now have
agreed that sustainable development offers the best path forward for improving
the lives of people everywhere.

UPHOLD INTERNATIONAL LAW

The UN Charter, in its Preamble, set an objective: "to establish conditions
under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and
other sources of international law can be maintained."  Ever since, the
development of, and respect for international law has been a key part of the
work of the Organization.  This work is carried out in many ways - by courts,
tribunals, multilateral treaties - and by the Security Council, which can
approve peacekeeping missions, impose sanctions, or authorize the use of force
when there is a threat to international peace and security, if it deems this
necessary.  These powers are given to it by the UN Charter, which is considered
an international treaty.  As such, it is an instrument of international law, and
UN Member States are bound by it.  The UN Charter codifies the major principles
of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition
of the use of force in international relations.

MAINTAIN INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY

The United Nations came into being in 1945, following the devastation of the
Second World War, with one central mission: the maintenance of international
peace and security. The UN does this by working to prevent conflict; helping
parties in conflict make peace; peacekeeping; and creating the conditions to
allow peace to hold and flourish. These activities often overlap and should
reinforce one another, to be effective. The UN Security Council has the primary
responsibility for international peace and security. The General Assembly and
the Secretary-General play major, important, and complementary roles, along with
other UN offices and bodies.

PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS

The term “human rights” was mentioned seven times in the UN's founding Charter,
making the promotion and protection of human rights a key purpose and guiding
principle of the Organization.  In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights brought human rights into the realm of international law.  Since then,
the Organization has diligently protected human rights through legal instruments
and on-the-ground activities.

STRUCTURE OF THE
UNITED NATIONS



The main parts of the UN structure are the General Assembly, the
Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the
International Court of Justice, and the UN Secretariat. All were established in
1945 when the UN was founded.



GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking and representative
organ of the UN. All 193 Member States of the UN are represented in the General
Assembly, making it the only UN body with universal representation.

SECURITY COUNCIL

The Security Council has primary responsibility, under the UN Charter, for the
maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members (5
permanent and 10 non-permanent members). Each Member has one vote. Under the
Charter, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL

The Economic and Social Council is the principal body for coordination, policy
review, policy dialogue and recommendations on economic, social
and environmental issues, as well as implementation of internationally agreed
development goals.

TRUSTEESHIP COUNCIL

The Trusteeship Council was established in 1945 by the UN Charter, under Chapter
XIII, to provide international supervision for 11 Trust Territories that had
been placed under the administration of seven Member States, and ensure that
adequate steps were taken to prepare the Territories for self-government and
independence.

INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE

The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United
Nations. Its seat is at the Peace Palace in the Hague (Netherlands). It is the
only one of the six principal organs of the United Nations not located in New
York (United States of America).

SECRETARIAT

The Secretariat comprises the Secretary-General and tens of thousands of
international UN staff members who carry out the day-to-day work of the UN
as mandated by the General Assembly and the Organization's other principal
organs.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is the defining issue of our time and now is the defining moment
to do something about it. There is still time to tackle climate change, but it
will require an unprecedented effort from all sectors of society.

GENDER EQUALITY

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also
half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right,
is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and
sustainable development.



ENDING POVERTY

While global poverty rates have been cut by more than half since 2000, one in
ten people in developing regions still lives on less than US$1.90 a day — the
internationally agreed poverty line, and millions of others live on slightly
more than this daily amount.

UN75: 2020 AND BEYOND

The UN’s 75th anniversary in 2020 arrived at a time of great upheaval and peril.
To secure a world where everyone can thrive in peace, dignity and equality on a
healthy planet we need a multilateral system that is inclusive, networked and
effective. "Our Common Agenda" will build on the 12 commitments contained in the
UN75 Declaration.






DID YOU KNOW?



As the world’s only truly universal global organization, the United Nations has

UN FREE & EQUAL AND IOM: JEN’S STORY

For many lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people, leaving
their communities in search of a safer and more welcoming place to call home is
the only way to find a job, get access to healthcare or find safety from
poverty, family rejection, criminalization, threats and violence. Often,
discrimination doesn’t stop upon arrival at their destination. Many continue to
face prejudice, harassment and violence both based on where they were born as
well as based on their sexual orientation, gender identity/expression or sex
characteristics. Trans and nonbinary people are particularly at risk. Find out

There’s an app for that: a new way for Bosnia and Herzegovinians to avoid land
mines

It is estimated that just under 2% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's territory is
still contaminated by land mines, down from 8% following the war that ended in
1995. An estimated 32,000 households are exposed to direct risk. Knowing the
locations of these mines can be lifesaving. Part of a European Union initiative
has been to create a mobile phone application that allows citizens to be aware
of and avoid the locations of mine suspected areas throughout the
country. Mountaineer Thierry Joubert specializes in developing and running
responsible walking and cycling trips along the Via Dinarica. “I can see right
on the spot if something is suspected or not,” he says. “We didn’t have that
before, you’d have to carry a map." Volunteers can also report suspected
locations of unexploded ordnance through the app.

How can we get more women into mine action?

Across a range of fields, we're still having conversations about the need for
gender equality. Mine action is no exception. This might be because the military
and the police – both very male-dominated fields – are the traditional
recruiting grounds for people to work in mine action. Members of the UNOPS Peace
and Security Cluster, in their support to UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) in
Mali, took on this challenge by re-assessing the programme as it is now and
where it needs to be in the future – and how that translates into the way
recruitment is done. Amending the certification requirements or the number of
years of military experience required, as well as recognizing non-military
experience (such as work with mine action non-governmental organizations or in
law enforcement) could help address this. Using a targeted and proactive
approach to recruitment can also increase the diversity of the applicant pool.

Why the climate crisis is a humanitarian emergency

From Sudan to Afghanistan to Bangladesh, the effects of climate change are
creating more need for humanitarian aid in the form of food, shelter and medical
care. The impacts are unevenly weighted against the poorest people and those
with the least resources to withstand climate shocks and stresses. Over half of
all humanitarian crises are somewhat predictable and 20 per cent are very
predictable. Yet less than 1 per cent of humanitarian appeals funding is
channelled to anticipatory action. Extreme climate- and weather-related events
are more common and severe, yet most humanitarian responses continue to be
launched only after extreme weather events have already resulted in critical
damages to the most vulnerable people. We need to prevent extreme weather events
from becoming humanitarian disasters through more effective disaster risk
reduction and management, including early warning, anticipatory action and early
action.

Families trying to stay safe as Saint Vincent volcano erupts

For the past five months, Meddisha Johnson, a resident of the community of
Georgetown on the Leeward side of Saint Vincent expected that she would have to
leave her home at a moment’s notice as the La Soufriere Volcano in the mountains
above her family’s home rumbled to life. On the afternoon of 8 April 2021,
Meddesha and 20,000 residents in the designated red zone were issued with a
mandatory evacuation order. They were mostly packed and waiting and speedily
boarded private or government-provided transportation to journey to the 60- plus
government shelters which were opened in the Eastern Caribbean country’s safe
zone. For Meddesha there was additional worry for the safety of her
one-month-old daughter Emily. Thankfully, Meddesha and most of the residents in
the danger zone were able to  escape in time and watched from the safety of
their temporary homes in shelters as the volcano erupted, sending ash plumes
spewing 20,000 feet into the air, less than 12 hours after the mandatory
evacuation order was given.
