How does Putin visiting his North Korean ally, Kim Jong Un, constitute a threat to world peace? US Defence spokesperson, Pat Ryder, wailed that the visit has implications for peace in the Korean Peninsula and the war in Ukraine, without substantiating such claims.

It was, therefore, not surprising that the UN Report conclusively found that Israel is responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. It reported that Israel has violated international humanitarian and human rights laws, and weaponised the provision of life-sustaining necessities for political gains. These, it reported, include denial of food, water, fuel and electricity to the Palestinian populace as a means of collective punishment.
The second major action taken by the UN was by its Security Council, which voted 14-0 for a ceasefire in Gaza. Tragically, the resolution is not designed to take immediate effect, which might save more lives. Rather, it is in three phases. The first are negotiations, freedom for Israeli captives and release of Palestinian prisoners. This is to take place within six weeks. It states that within those weeks: “An immediate, full and complete ceasefire would come into force.
Although the resolution claimed Israel had accepted it hours after it was passed, the country still carried out deadly attacks across the Gaza thereafter. Its Representative to the UN, Reut Shapir Ben-Naftaly, said there would be no end to the war unless Hamas’ capability to fight is destroyed. President Joe Biden, who had guaranteed Israel’s acceptance of the peace deal, said the resolution was “not just a ceasefire that would inevitably be fragile and temporary” but also one that would provide a “durable end to the war.”
