The role of peacekeepers in the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in Golan is to de-conflict, avoid escalation, and to observe, monitor and report on violations to the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement.

After visiting the region, Under-Secretary for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix warned of significant violations to the agreement, and the impact on the local population.

A third of fish caught in Africa spoils before it can be eaten. Here are 3 initiatives solving this

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

The hot sub-Saharan climate can make life difficult for fish sellers in Africa. One third of all the fish caught on the continent spoils before it reaches the plate.

This means lost income for #fish processors, most of whom are women, and less #food for consumers. Reducing this waste would drive economic growth, deliver healthier diets, and even reduce #deforestation by reducing pressure to grow on land.

Innovation in the ‘blue food’ sector, from aquaculture to wild fisheries, seaweed, and seafood by-products, offers a critical but underleveraged opportunity to improve climate resilience, nature protection, nutrition access, and sustainable livelihoods.

Colombia: UN Urges Continued Support for Peace Mission & Reintegration Efforts | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Following a 17 percent reduction of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia (UNVMIC’s) budget and the elimination of nearly 200 posts, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Colombia, Miroslav Jenča, highlighted that the Mission “has retained its essential field presence in conflict-affected regions” and called for the “continued support of the Member States to be able to fully implement the mandate.”

Jenča told the Security Council that the reintegration of former combatants is “a security imperative for Colombia’s present and future to avoid the recycling of violence,” and pointed out that nine years after the FARC-EP laid down arms under the Peace Agreement, “the path has proven challenging for the over 11,000 former combatants who remain active in the government’s reintegration programme.”

He said, “these are men and women living often in remote areas with limited infrastructure, access to markets, and threats to their security” while for the authorities, “it has also entailed major efforts, both financial and programmatic, to facilitate their transition into civilian life.”

Jenča said security in many regions of the country “is still fragile,” and noted that “since laying down their arms, 487 former combatants have been killed.”

He called on the authorities” to redouble efforts to investigate these crimes and prioritize security guarantees for peace signatories.”

As the country approaches elections, Jenča said, “strategies for consolidating peace and security will be part of the debate.”

He said, ensuring the security of candidates and voters in conflict affected regions is crucial. Colombians deserve a safe environment in which to exercise their political rights. The expansion of voting in areas historically affected by conflict, which we witnessed since the signing of the final peace agreement, should be maintained.”

Jenča highlighted that at a time of tensions, both globally and regionally, it is in everyone’s interest to secure lasting peace and security in Colombia.

Colombia’s Vice Minister for Multilateral Affairs Mauricio Jaramillo Jassir for his part acknowledged that the recent change to the Mission’s mandate “did not fully satisfy the majority of the members of this Council” and stressed that the Government “respects the decision adopted and reaffirms its absolute support for the verification Mission, whose work remains essential for the stability of the process.”

With regard to the 2026 elections, Jaramillo Jassir said they were “decisive for the consolidation of peace,” noting that the Colombian State “has strengthened electoral security through a comprehensive plan led by the Committee for the Review of Electoral Protection Measures, with participation from the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Defence, the National Police, and the National Protection Unit.”

He said, “the capacity for personal protection has doubled and real-time monitoring mechanisms have been activated. Likewise, the political participation of women has been strengthened, particularly women leaders running as candidates for the special transitional peace constituencies through training, recommendations to the National Electoral Council to guarantee the political rights of women victims, and the activation of women leaders’ protection routes.”

For years, the billion-dollar valuation was the holy grail of start-up success. Today, companies race towards hundred-billion-dollar heights.

But when valuation grows faster than revenue, is unicorn status still a relevant indicator of success or is it time to redefine how we measure the robustness of emerging companies?

What does a successful political system look like and has the globalization of politics resulted in politics no longer serving its purpose?
