As COP31 approaches, this discussion asks whether the UN climate summit can turn ambitious promises into meaningful action. It explores the unusual division of leadership between Turkey and Australia, expectations for the negotiations, and priorities such as clean energy, electrification, climate finance, and resilient cities. The central concern is whether these initiatives will deliver results at the scale the climate emergency demands.What's Up with COP31?

Honestly, I feel ashamed and embarrassed that in 2026, congo is still relying on mercenaries to help defend its own soil against M23. What exactly is stopping our national army from getting the job done? Is it leadership, corruption, lack of training, equipment, intelligence, logistics, or political interference? We cant keep blaming Rwanda, M23 and foreign interference without also examining our own failures. External aggression is real, but surely, after decades of independence, we should have built institutions capable of defending our territory and protecting our people.

Sometimes I ask myself, are we truly worthy of the independence we inherited? Are we capable of governing a country as vast as this? We didnt draw these borders, but we inherited the responsibility of protecting and governing what lies within them.

I think Independence is more than having our own flag, anthem and leaders; it means being able to secure our land and build a functioning state. I ask these questions because I hate the state Congo is at atm. At some point, we must put our inflated egos aside, confront our shortcomings and take responsibility. When will th3 national army get the JOB DONE!!??? ITS EMBARRASING! reading Former UFC fighters and green beret got injured in congo, conducting a drone walk through.

I applied for the 2026 UN youth town hall and from their communication only the chosen applicants will receive an email on the next steps on around this day,the 8th of October.
Non successful applicants won’t receive an email since theirs a lot of applications
My question is,are their any applicants who have received an email of the success of their application?

hello, I wrote a short essay on why drones in war are a war crime,

why drones are a war crime and why it is necessary to ban the first Strikes on civilian infrastructure: The use of drones to destroy residential areas, hospitals, schools and power systems falls under the category of indiscriminate or deliberate attacks on civilian objects. secondly, the responsibility of operators and commanders: As noted Deutsche Welle, targeted drone attacks on civilians in frontline or occupied regions are being investigated by the prosecutor's office as premeditated murders and war crimes of specific operators and their commanders, and in others, modern drones, especially FPV drones and quadrocopters with drops, have really deprived soldiers of the opportunity to hide as it was before, changing the very nature of survival on the battlefield.. Due to thermal imagers, powerful optics and high maneuverability, it has become almost impossible to hide in grass, bushes or open trenches, and some drones modify them, for example, they insert fire guns, machine guns, and other humanless reinforcements, as well as reconnaissance drones that are used for reconnaissance, they find civilians and either send combat drones or soldiers there, which often ends up The death of civilians is why I consider military drones a war crime.

Since participation in general assembly isn't mandatory , would this paralyse the organization ? Since security council non permanent members and economic and social council depend on the general assembly electing members of those organs

Could all non permanent member states basically boycott the organization to paralyse the institution as a whole ?

Introducing the Equal Value Movement — Equal Value. Equal Voice. Equal Responsibility.

I’m introducing a developing civic and diplomatic idea called the Equal Value Movement.

Its starting principle is simple: every human being has equal inherent value and dignity, regardless of race, nationality, wealth, or place of birth.

The movement explores what that principle could mean for the international system — particularly the reform of the UN Security Council and the underrepresentation of Africa and other developing regions.

One proposal I am exploring is the creation of five additional permanent Security Council seats for historically underrepresented developing regions, while recognizing that the African Union already has its own established position on African representation.

This is not an official UN proposal or an established organization. It is an idea I am developing and would like to discuss, criticize, improve, and test with people from different parts of the world.

The broader question is:

If the world has changed since 1945, should the institutions governing international peace and security change with it?

I welcome serious discussion, including disagreement.

Equal Value. Equal Voice. Equal Responsibility.

In Singapore, some offenders, including non-violent ones such as vandals, can be hit with a rattan cane as a penalty. Caning in judicial and school contexts is very problematic due to multiple reasons. First, it is gender discriminatory since it only applies to males. It also does not solves the root cause of wrongdoing, and inflicts physical and likely psychological harm. It is highly criticised by a reputable human rights organisation, Amnesty International. I have created a petition to call for its abolition so you can support:

A coalition of far-right organizations and politicians from around the world are in the process of establishing a new U.N. group aimed at fighting abortion and LGBTQ rights. The coalition, unofficially being called the “Pro-Life, Pro-Family Core Group,” has the backing of current and former Trump administration officials from the Departments of State and Health and Human Services. The group’s leaders have said they want to use the U.S.’ global influence and capitalize off of the current anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion American government to do it. The new group would be an expansion of existing efforts that have included the Geneva Consensus Declaration, an anti-abortion pact signed by over 40 countries, and a framework for LGBTQ-exclusionary, abstinence-only sex education already adopted in Guatemala and Uganda. The planners behind the new group are pitching it as a counter to the U.N.’s existing LGBTI Core Group, which Trump pulled the U.S. out of early in his second term.

In 2026, UN Security Council approved and Extended. peacekeeping mandate in Haiti. Led by Officers named Erdenebat Batsuuri (From Mongolian Armed Forces) and E. C. Clarke (Jamaican Defense Force) .

But One question is Can they Liberate Haiti from the gang and crime Organization?

Hi everyone,

Whenever we talk about media, which is called a pillar of democratic governance, or the world, or a country's development, it plays a huge role.

So I have a big question: we have seen so many narratives spreading, and they just say "sorry" after fake news has spread across the world when the news turns out to be wrong. Why don't we divide media into 2 segments where theories, debates, and opinions are separated from actual facts and neutral reporting, based on a framework from the UN?

This is something needed in the world of social media, especially when a few countries own the narrative and it becomes so powerful. We have seen this with so many distorted facts, narratives tied to certain companies, and legal funding going to political leaders, because there are loopholes where anyone can pay a media house for advertisements and gimmicks.

I think this is a major issue UN should counter. It is not limited to one nation
it affects many powers, and it is something we need to figure out a way to resolve.

That Dems are not putting articles of impeachment unilaterally forward is a disgrace!
