From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home!"

Celebrating
75 Years of
UN PEACEKEEPING:
Peace Begins With Me!
1948 - 2023
United Nations Peacekeeping began in 1948
when the Security Council authorized the deployment
of military observers to the Middle East. The role of
the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO)
was to monitor the Armistice Agreement
between Israel and its Arab neighbours. Since then,
more than 2 million uniformed and civilian personnel
have served in 71 peacekeeping operations around
the world, contributing to the cause of international
security, peace and progress for all peoples.
Text Courtesy, United Nations
Although Global Peace has not
been achieved . . .
A Journey of
PEACE
For the World!
. . . The "Journey for Peace"
Continues!
More than two million men and women have
served under the UN flag since 1948. . .
Tragically, more than 3,500 UN Peacekeepers
have lost their lives in the cause of peace.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF UN PEACEKEEPERS - 5/29/2023
UN Secretary-General
"United Nations peacekeepers are the beating heart of our commitment to a more peaceful world.
For 75 years, they have supported people and communities rocked
by conflict and upheaval across the globe."
THE WORLD'S TRUE SUPER
STARS ARE . . .
THE PEACEKEEPERS.
SINCEREST THANKS

The eighth annual Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs (STI Forum) will be held from 3 to 4 May 2023. The Forum will be convened by the President of ECOSOC Her Excellency Lachezara Stoeva who has appointed two co-chairs – H.E.

Mr. Thomas Woodroffe, United Kingdom Ambassador to the UN Economic and Social Council [ECOSOC]. As per its mandate, the Forum will be organized by the UN interagency task team on STI for the SDGs (IATT), convened by UN-DESA and UNCTAD, and the 10-Member Group of high-level representatives appointed by the Secretary General.
In line with recent mandates and as in previous years, the STI Forum will facilitate discussions on science, technology and innovation cooperation in support of the SDGs. In addition to providing the mandated inputs for the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development to be held from 10 to 19 July 2023, the Forum will also take a broader look at the contribution of STI to the achievement of all the SDGs in recognition of the September mid-term review of SDG progress.
Accordingly, the theme for the STI Forum 2023 is: “Science, technology and innovation for accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all levels”.

SUDAN
DIRE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION:
UN Secretary-General calls for immediate ceasefire of warring parties
20 APRIL 2023
Text Courtesy, UN Photo/Eskinder Debebe: Secretary-General António Guterres briefs the media on the situation in Sudan.
Thousands have fled the city, though evacuation has become increasingly difficult. Humanitarians warn that people are running out of food, fuel and other vital supplies, and many urgently need medical care.
“The situation in Sudan is increasingly concerning and heart breaking. Over 330 people have died so far, and nearly 3,200 are injured,” the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, wrote in a statement posted on his official Twitter account.
Tedros condemned all loss of life, especially attacks on civilians and healthcare. He expressed deep concern over reports of forces occupying health facilities, underlining that attacks on healthcare are a flagrant violation of international law.
WHO Director-General Tedros:
"PEACE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION."

THE LOSS OF INNOCENT LIVES, INJURIOUS HARMS, PREVENTION OF HUMANITARIAN AID AND OVERALL DETRIMENTS BEING CAUSED AGAINST "THE SUDANESE CITIZENRY" ARE ALL "CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY" THAT MANDATES FULL ACCOUNTABILITY!
LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE, PHYSICAL INJURIES AND OVERALL DETRIMENTS: INCLUDING HARMFUL, "ILLEGAL WARRING DEGRADATION" INFLICTED UPON MOTHER EARTH SHALL BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
The era of global condoning, acquiescing and arming the
unjustifiable, violent harms of "Illegal Warfare"
MUST END NOW!

Whether in the U.S.A. or Around the World, any form of governance which allows guns in the hands of
lawlessness is also responsible and
accountable for "gun violence
crimes" committed against
innocent "Citizens of Humanity!"

United Nations General Assembly
Reflects on Rwandan Genocide
7; 14 April 2023
Courtesy, United Nations
“We are together to mourn the more than one million children, women, and men who perished in 100 days of horror 29 years ago,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
“We pay tribute to the resilience of the survivors [and] recognize the journey of the Rwandan people towards healing, restoration, and reconciliation. And we remember – with shame – the failure of the international community. The failure to listen and the failure to act.”
In April 1994, decades-long intercommunal tensions and clashes unfolded before the world’s eyes into genocide, as Hutu leaders led a deadly campaign against the Tutsi. The bloodshed unfolded, despite the presence of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda and despite the General Assembly’s unanimous adoption of the Genocide Convention in 1948, which defines genocide as a crime under international law.
