The External Affairs Ministry said, “Our Embassy in Oman is closely monitoring the situation and proactively coordinating with the Omani authorities in the ongoing Search and Rescue operation”
The Tory leader says the public sector duty to consider minorities encourages division but legal experts warn abolishing it will fuel discrimination For more than two decades, an important part of Britain’s equality laws ensured public institutions had to think about the impact the decisions they make could have on different groups within society. Introduced in the wake of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, the public sector equality duty required public bodies – such as local councils, police forces and hospitals – to think proactively about equality law. Now this once uncontroversial public duty is a new battleground in Britain’s culture wars. Continue reading...
As conflict mounts over AI data center expansion, one West Texas project is taking a proactive approach to solving key issues before they erupt.
UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan on Monday renewed its call for restraint, de-escalation and a return to diplomacy in the ongoing Middle East crisis, saying that dialogue and mediation remain the only sustainable path to resolving conflicts. Addressing the UN General Assembly during a debate on strengthening mediation in conflict prevention and resolution, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, said Islamabad had consistently advocated diplomacy in the recent tensions involving Iran and the United States. “As a friendly neighbour of Iran, a brotherly partner of the Gulf countries, and a country with longstanding ties of amity with the United States, Pakistan continues to make sincere efforts to facilitate a durable solution for regional and global peace and stability,” he said. The Pakistani envoy used the occasion to press for a stronger role for mediation and preventive diplomacy in addressing international disputes before they escalate into crises. “Conflicts are not inevitable. They are often the result of diplomacy delayed, dialogue denied, and disputes left to fester,” Ambassador Ahmad told the Assembly. “The first responsibility of the United Nations is not merely to respond to conflicts after they erupt, but to prevent them before they consume lives, regions and generations,” he said. He noted that Pakistan’s commitment to peaceful dispute settlement was reflected in Security Council Resolution 2788, adopted unanimously in July 2025 on Pakistan’s initiative. The resolution reaffirmed the importance of Chapter VI of the UN Charter, encouraged the use of mediation and the Secretary-General’s good offices, and underscored the role of regional and subregional organisations in resolving disputes peacefully. Ambassador Ahmad argued that mediation should become a central pillar of international conflict prevention rather than a tool used only after violence breaks out. “Mediation must become the guiding principle of prevention, not an instrument of crisis management,” he said. He called for greater investment in early-warning mechanisms, quiet diplomacy, preventive engagement and the secretary general’s good offices before disputes lead to confrontation. He also stressed that mediation efforts should be anchored in international law and address the root causes of conflicts rather than merely managing their consequences. “Lasting peace cannot be built on the denial of rights, including the right to self-determination, normalisation of foreign occupation, aggression and violation of treaties,” he said. The envoy also urged predictable funding for the UN Mediation Support Unit and stronger partnerships between the UN and regional organisations. Later in the day, speaking at an emergency Security Council meeting on Ukraine convened at Romania’s request, Ambassador Ahmad warned that protracted conflicts carry increasing risks of miscalculation and escalation. He said unresolved wars often generate spillover effects and wider confrontations, a pattern that the international community was witnessing in several regions. Referring to efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, the Pakistani envoy reiterated support for a negotiated settlement and cautioned against reliance on military solutions. “We, therefore, see an early resumption of the United States-facilitated dialogue process as the most credible path forward,” he told the Council. He added that military means could not deliver lasting peace and emphasised the need for sustained and meaningful negotiations. “The true test of our commitment to peace is not how we condemn conflicts after they break out, but how proactively we prevent them in the first place,” Ambassador Ahmad said. “Mediation is the bridge between confrontation and peace.” Pakistan has consistently maintained that dialogue, diplomacy and adherence to international law offer the only durable path to resolving international disputes, including longstanding conflicts that continue to threaten regional and international peace and security.
Japan's defense minister took a veiled swipe at China Sunday, pledging to keep strengthening the military despite Beijing's criticism of Tokyo's increasingly muscular security stance. Under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Japan has quickened its pivot toward a more proactive defence policy, further shaking off -- with US encouragement -- its pacifist outlook in place since the end of World War II. The change has drawn frequent rebukes from Beijing, which has accused Tokyo of following a reckless

Countries: World, United Republic of Tanzania Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies At a school on the Unguja Island, part of the Tanzanian archipelago known as Zanzibar, volunteers from the Tanzania Red Cross Society explain to a classroom full of students how to protect themselves from the dangers of extreme heat. The volunteers’ efforts were part of a larger heatwave awareness campaign in early 2026, led by the Tanzanian Red Cross, that has reached more than 4,000 people in schools, madrasas, markets, and communities around the island. This is just one of many ways Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies around the world regularly work to protect people from the dangers of extreme heat – including the very particular dangers of indoor heat. Why focus on indoor heat? When thinking about or preparing for heatwaves, people often think of blistering days outside in the hot sun. But people living or working indoors, in uncooled or poorly ventilated spaces, can sometimes be at even greater risk of heat stroke, dehydration and other heat-related risks. Those most susceptible to rising body temperatures — children and the elderly — are particularly vulnerable and, often, they must spend long periods of the day inside. These are some of the reasons Heat Action Day 2026 focuses on ‘indoor heat’ — putting the spotlight on the health risks people face inside their homes, schools, workplaces, care facilities, transport hubs, prisons and even public vechiles such as busses and taxis. (Learn more about how to #BeatTheHeat and about how to take part in Heat Action Day 2026.) This threat is nothing new to Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers who often go door-to-door during heatwaves, visiting people who live in densely populated urban neighborhoods, work in poorly insulated industrial areas, or live in camps for people displaced by emergencies. Very often, such facilities or temporary shelters lack insulation or access to energy or water sources that can help keep people cool. Building materials, design characteristics, and urban heat island all play a role in determining indoor temperatures. Rising risks Without respite and access to cooling, high day- and night-time indoor temperatures pose significant health risks, particularly for older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Beyond heat stroke, high temperatures can have a wide range of health effects. According to a 2020 study, for example, high indoor temperatures affect multiple aspects of human health, with the strongest evidence for respiratory health, diabetes management and core schizophrenia and dementia symptoms, according to one 2020 study. Other studies show that prolonged exposure to high indoor temperatures is also responsible for sleep disturbances, cognitive impairment of workers, reduced learning uptake in students, and domestic violence. More research needs to be done, however, so policy makers, urban planners and architects can better understand how to reduce extreme urban heat. At the same time, building standards and indoor heat policies need urgent updates. In many places, indoor heat standards do not exist, or they overlook vulnerable populations and climate projections. The good news is that it is possible to improve the way buildings and public spaces are designed and constructed to better protect people living and working indoors. Meanwhile, more governments, agencies and communities are taking action. For example: painting roofs white, keeping windows covered during the hottest times of day, and using passive cooling at night when temperatures outside cool down. There are also many low-cost actions one can take to cool the body: a cool shower, submerging feet in cool water, self-dousing with water, using an evaporative cooler or misting fan, ingesting cold water, wearing clothing made from natural fibres, and sleeping with a wet sheet, among other measures. As part of its 2026 Heat Action Day activation, the IFRC also encourages people to proactively reach out to support the elderly and chronically ill during times of extreme heat, especially those with limited mobility who may need help getting to a cooler space. How can you take part in Heat Action Day? As the organization that created Heat Action Day, the IFRC each year encourages more and more activities to raise awareness and encourage people to take concrete action to prevent heat related illness and death. Whether you're sharing life-saving tips on social media or organizing a community event, there are many ways to get involved and help #BeatTheHeat.

Commemorating the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2026, Pakistan on Friday reaffirmed its support for UN peacekeeping missions and vowed its renewed “investment in peace”. President Asif Ali Zardari in a statement highlighted that Pakistan was host to one of the oldest UN peacekeeping missions, the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan. “The continued presence and relevance of this Mission reaffirm the responsibility of the international community to support a just and lasting resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute,” he added. President Zardari said that the work of UN peacekeepers “brings stability and hope to communities affected by conflict and displacement”. This year’s theme, “Invest in Peace”, highlights the importance of “sustained political commitment and financial support” for peace worldwide, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in his statement. On this day in 1948, the first UN peacekeeping mission commenced operations in Palestine, the premier added. Since 1960, over 235,000 Pakistanis have served on UN peacekeeping missions, which included more than 500 women peacekeepers, the prime minister said. “It is a matter of immense national pride that Pakistan today stands as the fifth-largest contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations,” PM Shehbaz affirmed. He also paid tribute to the over 180 Pakistani peacekeepers who have lost their lives while serving on mission. Reaffirming support for the peacekeeping missions, Sharif wrote, “Our continued contribution reflects Pakistan’s enduring commitment to international peace and security, as well as to the principles of multilateralism.” ‘Contemporary war zones have transformed’: ISPR The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) also paid tribute to the “invaluable contributions and ultimate sacrifices” of the UN Blue Helmets for global peace. “The Government of Pakistan and its Armed Forces reaffirm their unwavering commitment to the ideas and objectives of the United Nations Peacekeeping operations by investing in peace through a multifaceted commitment encompassing human capital, state-of-the-art training facilities, and systemic capacity building,” ISPR said. The ISPR noted that since 1960, over 237,000 Pakistani peacekeepers have served on UN missions, putting the number of those who have lost their lives during service at 183. Currently, Pakistani peacekeepers are deployed in Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, according to ISPR. ISPR also highlighted the hybrid threats in today’s “unstable, complex and asymmetric” war zones, including cybersecurity risks, digital misinformation campaigns, political fracturing and climate-induced humanitarian emergencies. ISPR added that the theme “Invest in Peace” highlighted “a critical paradigm shift from reactive conflict management to proactive peace preservation”.
SUKKUR: A coalition of human rights advocates, legal experts and civil society leaders have demanded an urgent overhaul of the justice system, warning that statutory protections for women are being actively undermined by poor institutional implementation and deep-rooted societal stigma. Speaking at a seminar titled “Violence Against Women: Culture of Silence, Societal Acceptance and Institutional Response” at the Sukkur Arts Council, speakers cautioned that legislation alone is insufficient to combat gender-based violence without a drastic shift in public mindset and state accountability. The event, co-hosted by the Sindh Women Lawyers Alliance, the National Commission for Rights of Women, and the Community Development Foundation (CDF), highlighted the stark contrast between written law and reality on the ground. Keynote speaker Ms Rubina Brohi categorised violence against women as a severe breach of fundamental human rights rather than a private domestic matter. While acknowledging that protective legislation exists on paper, she noted that systemic failures within law enforcement and the judiciary routinely deny survivors timely justice. “The lack of effective implementation remains our greatest hurdle,” Ms Brohi stated, calling for a proactive, accountable approach from the police, prosecution departments, and the judiciary to guarantee survivor protection. Panellists also observed that a pervasive ‘culture of silence’ — fuelled by intense social pressure, fear of retaliation and cultural stigma — continues to prevent victims from reporting abuse, effectively shielding perpetrators from legal consequences. The delegates argued that legal frameworks must be paired with grassroots community mobilisation to dismantle misogynistic social attitudes. Representatives from various civil society organisations outlined a multi-layered support strategy, advocating for target-driven awareness campaigns to dismantle systemic biases, alongside streamlined, state-funded legal aid for survivors navigating the courts. Furthermore, they stressed the critical need for dedicated psychosocial support services, including counselling and robust mental health infrastructure, to assist traumatised victims. The seminar, which drew a diverse audience of lawyers, journalists, academics and students, featured prominent contributions from Dr Qasim Sodhar, Wahab Pandhrani, Jan Odhano, Seema Maheshwari and Rukhsana Mangi. The forum concluded with the unanimous adoption of a joint resolution. The declaration demands stringent institutional accountability, immediate enforcement of existing pro-women laws and a unified collective campaign to eradicate violence against women and girls across the province.

An NGO on Thursday called on schools to be more proactive when it comes to lowering the risk of secondary school dropouts. Researchers from the Hong Kong Christian Service polled nearly 2,000 secondary school students between February and March this year and found that one in 12 students were at risk of what they described as hidden disengagement – when pupils attend school but display withdrawn or passive behaviour. The NGO's service head of children and youth service, Susanne Choi, said students with hidden disengagement are more likely to drop out. "Dropping out is a gradual process that unfolds over time," she told RTHK. "Hidden disengagement often serves as a crucial yet easily overlooked warning sign before [a] student completely detaches from school." Choi said there are a few behavioural indicators that can be easily seen among students with hidden disengagement at school. "They may spend recess or lunch time alone in school, [be] tardy, absent, or leave early... and also have zero extracurricular participation in school. "These elements reflect a student's sense of belonging, school involvement and overall psychological safety," she added. The survey also revealed that hidden disengagement stems from a mix of factors. "In our findings, bullying in school, students with special educational needs and emotional distress are the major factors leading to hidden disengagement of students," Choi said. She added that schools should do more to identify these traits earlier and proactively approach these students. "If the hidden disengaged behaviour has not been addressed earlier, the students may be losing their connection to school, motivation to learn and peer support, gradually distancing themselves from the campus environment," she said. Choi suggested that schools should enhance one-on-one peer support, organise social group workshops and offer individual counselling for students with hidden disengagement. Edited by Aaron Tam
Four out of 15 public primary schools in Hong Kong with insufficient enrolment will cease operations, eight will merge with other schools, while two others will operate self-financing Primary One classes in September, according to education authorities. Representatives from a schools council and a principals’ association said on Wednesday that they expected more institutions that fell short of enrolment quotas to proactively seek mergers to avoid “last minute” problems, adding that schools could...
Country: World Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Please refer to the attached file. Synopsis (short abstract) Conflict, disasters and displacement have reached record levels globally, leaving millions of people unable to return home and severely undermining food security and resilience, particularly in rural contexts. Displacement erodes agricultural livelihoods, strains host communities and drives food insecurity and malnutrition through asset loss, reduced production and market disruption. Evidence shows that anticipatory action is a more effective and cost‑efficient approach than traditional response, significantly reducing losses by protecting livelihoods before shocks occur. In line with its mandate, FAO has made anticipatory action and agricultural solutions to displacement core priorities, scaling proactive, conflict‑sensitive interventions and partnerships to protect livelihoods, strengthen resilience and support durable solutions in fragile and displacement‑affected settings.
Country: World Source: Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Please refer to the attached file. Executive summary The resurgence of mpox in multiple African countries since 2022 has highlighted urgent gaps in preparedness, detection, and response capacities across the continent. While the mpox outbreak was initially classified as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS), the risk of continued transmission in high-risk areas of Africa remains significant, particularly due to persistent zoonotic reservoirs, cross-border spread, and fragile surveillance systems. In response, the Joint Continental Incident Management Support Team (IMST), co-led by WHO AFRO and Africa CDC with contributions from key partners, initiated the development of this Continental Mpox Surveillance Strategy. The goal is to provide a harmonized, adaptable, and sustainable framework that guides African Union Member States in strengthening mpox surveillance capacities, integrating mpox monitoring into routine national systems, and preparing for future outbreaks in line with International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) and the IDSR framework. This strategy outlines core components of effective mpox surveillance including alert detection, case investigation, laboratory confirmation, contact tracing, community-based surveillance, health information management, One Health coordination, and cross-border surveillance. It offers a roadmap tailored to countries’ epidemiological status, surveillance maturity, and operational context, and provides actionable tools, SOPs, and benchmarks to guide implementation. By leveraging lessons learned during the 2022–2025 continental response and aligning with existing WHO and Africa CDC guidelines, this strategy aims to transition mpox surveillance from reactive emergency response to a proactive, integrated component of national health security systems. It calls for enhanced partner coordination, investment in digital surveillance and genomic capacities, and strong engagement at the community and cross-border levels. This strategy will facilitate Member States and partner’s coordination towards achieving a resilient African surveillance ecosystem that detects mpox and other emerging threats early, responds effectively, and ultimately protects the health and well-being of populations across the continent.
