Fahma is one of our youngest-ever award winners. She was just 17 when she was given the Young Campaigner of the Year Award in 2014 in recognition of her remarkable efforts to highlight and ban the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM). A petition she started as a schoolgirl collected over 240,000 signatures and was supported by Nobel prize winner Malala Yousefzai and then UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon. Her campaign resulted in compulsory training for public sector works so they could identify and help girls at risk.  Ten years on, Fahma, who remains as dedicated to tackling gender and racial inequality reflects on the roots of her activism - which started when she was only 13 - and how it was nurtured by a very special teacher and talks about the reactions of her Somali community to her efforts, what she wished she had realised about the career opportunities that were open to her and why being the eldest of 10 children is so important to her. 

La pandemia de Covid-19 ha demostrado la dura oposición entre los intereses de China y Estados Unidos dentro de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Más allá de la polémica, este documental traza la historia y los cambios sufridos por la OMS, desde sus primeros éxitos y la gran esperanza que despertó, hasta los actuales problemas derivados de las rupturas internas entre intereses divergentes. Testimonios de expertos en salud pública, líderes actuales y anteriores de la OMS, así como figuras políticas como el exsecretario general de la ONU, Ban Ki Moon, o el presidente francés Emmanuel Macron, completan esta investigación sobre una de las organizaciones internacionales más relevantes

Dr. Jean Krasno is on the faculty of the Department of Political Science at the City College of New York and is a lecturer at Columbia University.  She teaches courses on the United Nations, peacekeeping, international law, and international organizations at City College and at Columbia University. Her most recent book is titled “United Nations: Policy and Practice.”  The UN is a rapidly changing organization that responds to the major challenges confronting the world, such as peacebuilding, development, disarmament, electoral assistance, climate change, Ukraine war, nuclear proliferation and refugee assistance.   Some of the prevalent myths that are not accurate is that the UN is dysfunctional, is anti-US and is wealthy. Uniting for Peace is a method the General Assembly can bypass a paralyzed Security Council such as on the Ukrainian crisis. Dr. Krasno has published the official papers of former SGs Kofi Annan and Ban Ki-moon at www.rienner.com .

On Inside Geneva this week: part four of our series marking the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Imogen Foulkes talks to Navi Pillay, she served as UN Human Rights Commissioner from 2008 to 2014, she started life in racially segregated South Africa.  "We grew up under apartheid and we're realised there's something very unfair here. Our teachers were afraid to talk about…you know they would teach us democracy in Greece, but not why don't we have democracy in South Africa." She became the first woman of colour to have her own legal practice in South Africa.  "It was so lonely, and so scary. I had very little choice, because I went looking for jobs after I'd qualified, at law firms, they were mainly white law firms, and they would say ‘we can't – you're a black person, so we can't have our white secretaries taking instructions from you.'' She served on the international tribunal for the Rwandan genocide – but hesitated when Ban Ki Moon asked her to become UN Human Rights Commissioner.  "You have to respond to a call that's made to you, a trust that people place in you. So if you ask me what moved me from where I wanted to go to this, it was the secretary general saying ‘we need you now'.' Today, she believes the universal declaration on human rights is as relevant as ever – as long as we use it. "No state has distanced itself from that treaty. So I see hope in that and I feel these are the tools that civil society has. You have the law, now push for implementation."Join Imogen Foulkes on the Inside Geneva podcast to find out more. For more insights and discussions from Switzerland's international city, subscribe to Inside Geneva wherever you get your podcasts. Please sign up for our newsletter for Swiss Democracy.

In deze eerste aflevering van alweer het vijfde seizoen van Betrouwbare Bronnen keren we terug naar het onderwerp wat in seizoen vier plotseling deze podcast ging beheersen: Oekraïne. We praten we met Robert Serry, in de periode 1992-1996 de eerste ambassadeur namens Nederland in dat toen net onafhankelijk geworden land.Serry werkte daarna nog voor de NAVO en de Verenigde Naties, maar hij bleef terugkeren naar het land waaraan hij inmiddels verknocht was geraakt. Sterker: hij had er zijn vrouw gevonden en kreeg er familie bij. Ook stuurde toenmalig VN secretaris-generaal Ban Ki-Moon hem naar de door Rusland ingenomen Krim, maar Poetins ‘groene mannetjes' zetten hem er zonder pardon uit.Deze zomer verbleef Serry opnieuw in Kyiv en omgeving en schreef een dagboek. Zijn ooggetuige-verslag vertelt hij bij ons. Hij trof een zelfverzekerd volk dat meer dan ooit zijn lot in eigen hand neemt. Zo er al twijfels zouden zijn geweest aan de nationale cohesie en identiteit van Oekraïne, dan heeft Poetin die met zijn oorlog resoluut beëindigd, zegt hij.Serry vertelt een kleurrijk verhaal waarin de complexiteit van het land zichtbaar wordt. In alles is Oekraïne hoe dan ook een 'grensland'. Niet alleen territoriaal, ook cultureel en politiek. In veel is nog de erfenis van dictatuur en communistisme merkbaar. Wat Rusland onder Jeltsin meemaakte gebeurde bijna identiek in Oekraïne. Oligarchen, corruptie, verarming, het ontbreken van een democratische cultuur en civil society - ook Oekraïne zuchtte eronder.Toch is Serry nu optimistisch. De nieuwe generatie, zoals Volodymyr Zelensky en zijn staf, ademt een nieuwe geest van vrijheid en een Europese toekomst. Maar Serry is ook realistisch. In de verlammende Brezjnev-jaren werkte hij op de Nederlandse ambassade in Moskou. Daarna leek het of alles kon, maar veel oude structuren blijken taai of komen zelfs weer terug. Kort voor de inval in Oekraïne kwam Serry nog regelmatig bijeen met Russische en Oekraiense deskundigen. Toen bleek hem al dat het Kremlin niet meer luisterde naar de eigen experts en diplomaten.Als oud-diplomaat probeert Serry te doen wat hij kan. Ook op microniveau: hij helpt Oekraïners wier appartementsgebouwen door Poetin kapotgebombardeerd zijn met wederopbouw.

As the Ban Ki-Moon, the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations said: “Investing in women is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do.”For the Authority Partners, gender diversity is one of our business priorities. In AP, close to 30% are women. While this is an excellent number for the IT industry, there is still much to do. We are involved in IT girls, the Women mentorship network, Women's Empowerment Principles program. In AP, do not differentiate between men and women in IT. We are welcoming all IT professionals.  In this Podcast, Amina Karic, Vice President of Operations at AP, and Zerina Mandzo, Project Associate for IT Girls in B&H, are discussing reasons for the lack of women in the ICT sector, how do we shape one voice to fight stereotypes, how important is to engage in encouraging a change of attitude and behavior and more.This podcast is just a small step to inspire and empower more women choosing IT-related career paths.Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are the speaker's own and do not reflect the view of Authority Partners.

The United Nations is built on principles of peacekeeping and human rights, and where leaders work to create a sustainable, equitable world. UN leaders, however, are always meeting challenges in their work; as human problems become more complex, so does the work of the organization. Ban Ki-moon knows these issues firsthand. He served as the eighth secretary-general of the United Nations from 2007–2016, and he took strong positions on global warming, peacekeeping and human rights. In his new book Resolved: Uniting Nations in a Divided World, Ban Ki-moon recounts his own experiences in a war-torn nation, the lifesaving generosity from the United Nations, and the challenges he faced as a diplomat in the intergovernmental institution. Even when facing resistance, he bravely steered the United Nations through a volatile period that included the Arab Spring, nuclear pursuits in Iran and North Korea, the Ebola epidemic, and brutal new conflicts in Central Africa. He describes his role as “the most impossible job on Earth”—but with a strong belief in collective action and global transformation, he persevered. Join us as Ban Ki-moon candidly assesses the integral parts of the United Nations and offers a bracing analysis of what lies ahead.

Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary General of the United Nations tells the FPA about his experiences, including his politely suppressed anger at the rulers of Sudan, Morocco, Myanmar and other places who tested his near-infinite patience to destruction with one notable example being Netanyahu “never an amicable person,” whose conversations left Ban "feeling bitter.” He explained how he managed a ceasefire in Gaza and how Israel compensated the UN for destroying its facilities there! He discussed Haiti and the cholera epidemic, and Western Sahara climate change, and how he faced up to Putin on LGBT athletes at the Olympics and without much hope described his frequently thwarted attempts to visit North Korea. Lots of material for all members!

Ban Ki-moon served as the eighth Secretary General of the United Nations from 2007 to 2016.  He is out with a new memoir titled Resolved: Uniting Nations in a Divided World. We cover quite a bit of ground in this interview, including his perspective on what the covid crisis revealed about the strengths and weaknesses of the United Nations, what can be done to bolster multilateralism today, his frustrations with the Security Council and what advice he might offer to his successor Antonio Guterres. We also spend a good deal of time talking climate change diplomacy, which was Ban's signature issue as Secretary General.  Resolved: Uniting Nations in a Divided World, by Ban Ki-moon For The Love Of Hong Kong: A Memoir From My City Under Siege, by Hana Meihan Davis

L'an dernier a été une année noire pour l'emploi en Italie, au point que le journal La Stampa a pu écrire: l’Italie ressemble de plus en plus à un pays où toucher un salaire est un privilège. Les jeunes diplômés sont particulièrement touchés par la crise sanitaire et sociale actuelle. Ils accumulent expérience et formation sans jamais parvenir à décrocher un vrai travail. En la matière, l'Italie est lanterne rouge européenne. Ces jeunes, on les appelle les NEET, «Not in education, employment or training» - ni en formation, ni employé, ni en stage. En Sicile, c'est un jeune sur 5. Et une étude de l'ONG Save the Children considère que cela pourrait concerner plus d'un jeune sur trois d'ici la fin de l'année. Un reportage de Cécile Debarge. Élections législatives aux Pays-Bas Aux Pays-Bas, le Premier ministre sortant, le conservateur Mark Rutte, est donné favori des élections législatives qui ont débuté hier (15 mars 2021). Le scrutin a été étalé sur 3 jours en raison de la pandémie, la crise sanitaire a aussi profondément modifié la campagne électorale. En raison des mesures anti Covid-19, les candidats se sont la plupart du temps contentés d’apparitions en ligne. Et c’est cette même crise sanitaire qui domine le débat électoral. Et pourtant, d’autres sujets préoccupent énormément une partie des Néerlandais. Notamment la grave crise du logement à laquelle le pays est confronté. Reportage d'Antoine Mouteau. Si Mark Rutte pourrait être reconduit à l'issue de ces élections, il risque une nouvelle fois de devoir bâtir un gouvernement de coalition, et peut-être négocier avec celle qui était jusqu'ici sa ministre du Commerce extérieur. Sigrid Kaag est une diplomate de carrière qui a passé plus de 20 ans à l'ONU, jusqu'au poste de conseillère spéciale de Ban Ki-Moon.

La pandemia de Covid-19 ha demostrado la dura oposición entre los intereses de China y Estados Unidos dentro de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Más allá de la polémica, este documental traza la historia y los cambios sufridos por la OMS, desde sus primeros éxitos y la gran esperanza que despertó, hasta los actuales problemas derivados de las rupturas internas entre intereses divergentes. Testimonios de expertos en salud pública, líderes actuales y anteriores de la OMS, así como figuras políticas como el exsecretario general de la ONU, Ban Ki Moon, o el presidente francés Emmanuel Macron, completan esta investigación sobre una de las organizaciones internacionales más relevantes.

“The world has embraced the Responsibility to Protect—not because it is easy, but because it is right.” - Ban-Ki Moon, Former United Nations Secretary-General   In this episode, we're joined by Elisabeth Pramendorfer, senior human rights officer at the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, to discuss the increasing efforts by the international community to respond to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.   Last year, the United Nations Human Rights Council began an independent investigation in Venezuela, a Fact-Finding Mission to determine the extent of human rights abuses. One year later, the Fact-Finding Mission reported back to the Human Rights Council and published what they found: a 411-page report describing in excruciating detail the human rights abuses we've spoken about on this podcast, including thousands of harrowing cases of torture and extrajudicial executions carried out by Venezuelan security forces.   While these revelations are based on facts we already knew or long suspected, this report marks the first time that the United Nations officially recognizes that the Nicolás Maduro and members of his inner circle are directly responsible for crimes against humanity in Venezuela.   These atrocity crimes are the basis of a request made by interim President Juan Guaidó in a speech during this year's the United Nations General Assembly just several weeks ago. This request is the activation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), a United Nations doctrine that provides a framework authorizing measures for humanitarian intervention in a country by the international community, including through the use of force.   What is the scope of the Responsibility to Protect? Can this global commitment lead to a solution that finally allows the international community a means to apply universal jurisdiction and put a stop to the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela? Elisabeth's focus at the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect is on Venezuela, so her knowledge of the country and the international legal precedent behind the R2P makes Elisabeth the perfect person for us to ask these incredibly important questions.   Links:   Elisabeth Pramendorfer | Twitter   Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect | Twitter   GCR2P | Official Website   Detailed findings of the United Nations (UN) Independent International Fact-Finding on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela   Maduro's Regime Commit Crimes Against Humanity.

We touch on the architecture of goals and on their ambitious mandate to eradicate global poverty, hunger and much more. In part 2, we gain insight into Colombano's unique professional journey as a curious young backpacker to a World Bank economic analyst and then to one of the most prestigious advisers in the world.

On (almost) everything you need to know about the dangerous global boom taking place in the petrochemicals industry, the plastic myths and cons it peddles and (some of) what we should do about it. Hero of the Week: Ban ki-Moon for acting on climate in South Korea. Villain of the Week: Liv Lønnum, Deputy Minister in the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, for being a pretend conservationist and a hard-core apologist for Big Oil, aiding and abetting the destruction of the Arctic

Morgan and I discussed Mac Miller in this episode, but felt like we didn't do a good job, so we returned to the subject later in the episode, and still left feeling like we didn't do a good job. It's a difficult subject, and there are no right answers, and at the time we didn't even know that Mac Miller has, for instance, covered a Bright Eyes song! So we'll probably talk about it again on the next episode. I just wanted to say that in case you felt like we were being flip about his death. (I will say that compared to the way Ariana Grande fans talk on instagram, Morgan and I sound like fucking Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Ban Ki Moon or some shit.) https://open.spotify.com/user/themildrevolution/playlist/4NPY3dFSyVIke0FvPrkHl4?si=FbkN-PQkS4yzWUlX40vTFQ https://open.spotify.com/user/zaclittle/playlist/6ERfvkZgc0fdWjW0EEyfDv?si=-LmgApQfTmOlUYqjEJBD6Q

This seminar is concerned with the broad issues raised by the UN's long-running mission in the DRC and what it tells us about the deeper challenges facing the UN as it continues to grapple with civil war and protection crises in different parts of Africa. In November 2012, the city of Goma in eastern Congo, whose population had recently swollen to nearly 1 million following the influx of refugees fleeing fighting and mass atrocities in neighbouring territory, fell to a Rwanda-backed armed group, the Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23). Some 1,500 UN peacekeepers were based in the city when it was overrun. The fall of Goma, more than a decade after the first arrival of blue helmets in the DRC and eerily reminiscent of earlier protection crises facing the organisation, cruelly exposed the bankruptcy of UN efforts to protect civilians and bring stability to the country. Responding to what was seen as humiliating ‘moment of truth', the Security Council decided, in March 2013, to strengthen the UN mission with the creation of a Force Intervention Brigade (FIB), entrusting it with a mandate “to carry out targeted offensive operations … in a robust, highly mobile and versatile manner”. The Council insisted that such operations would, in principle, be directed against all armed groups in eastern DRC. The establishment of the FIB was described by the then Secretary-General, Ban Ki Moon, as a “milestone” in the evolution of UN peacekeeping. That view was widely shared and, in many quarters, warmly welcomed as evidence of a wholly different approach to the use of force and the protection of civilians by UN forces operating in conditions of civil war. The presentation examines the actual record of the FIB and draws wider lessons from its experience. It is concerned, in particular, with the broader issues raised by the UN's long-running mission in the DRC: to wit, what it tells us about the political economy of conflict in the DRC and, more generally, the dynamics of contemporary civil wars; about the inherent challenges of third-party intervention and the use of force in civil-war like situations; and, finally, about the deeper challenges facing the UN as it continues to grapple with civil war and protection crises in different parts of Africa.

VN kiest opvolger Ban Ki-Moon; De kunst van het vluchten; Europese beveiligingsindustrie booming

Wie wordt de nieuwe Ban Ki-moon? Dat beslissen de leden van de Verenigde Naties dit jaar. Deze week ging de open sollicitatieprocedure op het VN-hoofdkwartier in New York van start. En deze is voor iedereen te volgen via een live stream: want waar vroeger in de diplomatieke achterkamertjes het besluit werd genomen, moeten deze verkiezingen open en transparant te zijn. Te gast Robert Serry. Voormalig VN-gezant Midden-Oosten, en nu verbonden aan de Amerikaanse Seton Hall University.

"Het voortbestaan van Jemen staat op het spel", zei VN-secretaris-generaal Ban-Ki Moon in de Zwitserse stad Genève. Daar zijn alle betrokken kemphanen vandaag bijeengekomen om een oplossing te vinden. Ondertussen gaan de sjiitische Houthi-rebellen door met hun opmars. Dit ondanks de bombardementen van de Arabische coalitie onder leiding van Saudi-Arabië. Aan de telefoon Arabiste en Jemen-kenner Laila al-Zwaini.

For a third time we're joined by Dr. Tim Ball, retired professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg. As public scepticism towards the theory of human-produced climate change continues to rise, the UN is gradually shifting its focus to a different target for global environmental alarmism: Peak Water. Inspired by Peak Oil theory, and heavily reliant on philosophical assumptions, is Peak Water set to become the new global eco-scare, designed in accordance with the aims of Agenda 21 to persuade the world to embrace a New World Order?
