This document discusses the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which affirmed the important role of women in conflict prevention and resolution. It was the first international agreement to recognize gender differences in armed conflict and call for equal representation of women in decision making. However, the document notes that violence against women, such as domestic violence and femicide, remains a serious threat, even in peacetime. It argues that true peace and security cannot exist if women do not feel safe in their own homes. Therefore, after 20 years, countries must implement National Action Plans to promote women's participation in conflict resolution at all levels to realize the goals of the Women, peace and security agenda.
Sustainable Development Goal 16 is to Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity.

The Participation Promise “Security Council Resolution 1325Dr Lendy Spires
The participation promise October 2010 marked the tenth anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325 (‘SCR 1325’) on Women, Peace and Security. The previous ten years have delivered an agenda for action on SCR 1325. However, it is critical that the next ten are about creating real change for women and their conflict-affected communities. We need concrete action backed by resources and commitment at the international, national, and local levels to ensure the participation promise, made to women all over the world, is realised.
SCR 1325 is first and foremost about peace and security.The inclusion of women is rooted in the premise that their presence, participation and perspectives will improve the chances of attaining viable and sustainable peace. It is also based on the knowledge that if half the population faces discrimination and violence there can be no peace.2 Rebuilding after conflict provides a window of opportunity to transform the status quo. This requires recognition of the roles which women have played during the conflict (such as combatants, economic actors, leaders and peacemakers in their local communities) and post-conflict peacebuilding and recovery processes which include the needs, skills and experiences of women. Why does women’s participation matter?
The participation of women in peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding assures their experiences, priorities and solutions contribute to stability, inclusive governance and sustainable peace.” 3 A question of justice Women as a group make up half the world’s population and should be able to participate in decisions which affect their lives. This is enshrined in international human rights standards such as the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Different perspectives and priorities Women’s experiences of conflict and the aftermath of conflict frequently differ from those of men.

To All Americans Residing Abroad: This election is the most important of any of our lifetimes, and it is vital that we ensure every single American voter has the chance to make their voice heard––and to make sure that it is counted––including the millions of American citizens residing outside the United States. During a global pandemic that has cost more than 200,000 lives in the United States and almost one million lives globally, President Trump not only has no plan for how to get COVID-19 under control so we can safely restart our economy, his administration is in the Supreme Court actively trying to overturn the Affordable Care Act and strip away health care protections for more than 100 million Americans with preexisting conditions. President Trump refuses to address or even acknowledge the existential threat of climate change. He has tarnished America’s credibility on the international stage and damaged our ability to lead the world to address the global challenges that threaten lives everywhere.
Open letter from Amnesty International African directors to President Jacob ZumaAmnesty International UK
The directors of Amnesty in South Africa, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo have written an open letter to influential leaders in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), asking them to stand up for human rights in Zimbabwe and ensure that their election observers also respond to any allegations of human rights violations.
Normal life came to an abrupt halt in the first quarter of 2020 as the COVID-19 virus spread around the globe. Confronted by myriad unprecedented challenges, including political and economic unrest, the closure of civic space, and a decline in financial viability, CSOs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) demonstrated remarkable resilience. They reacted quickly to the constantly changing circumstances by providing critical services, thereby demonstrating their value to the societies in which they are based. In addition, CSOs increasingly adopted new technologies, allowing them to develop new ways of working, providing services to their constituents, and increasing their own capacities. The pandemic thus served as a litmus test, both exposing CSOs’ vulnerabilities and highlighting their resilience. This year’s CSO Sustainability Index for MENA, which reports on the state of CSO sectors in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen, describes both these opportunities and challenges.
Aging is a natural process, which leads to weakening of the body and the mind. The productivity and the working ability also decreases of a person. It is the duty of the state as well as the family of a person to take care of him in his old age. However, due to rampant illiteracy and lack of awareness, many senior citizens are not aware of their rights. This presentation seeks to discuss the rights and facilities available to the elderly and international conventions regarding senior citizens.

Peace and security are fundamental human needs and aspirations. They are essential for the well-being of individuals, communities, and nations. They are closely interconnected with other pillars of human development, such as economic prosperity, social inclusion, and respect for human rights.
However, achieving peace and security is a complex and challenging task. Throughout history, humankind has faced numerous threats to peace and security, including armed conflicts, terrorism, organized crime, and human rights abuses.

Towards Addressing Global Security Challenges Through Professional Counsellin...iosrjce
This paper sought to discuss the pervading challenges of crises and insecurity on the surface of the
globe, the consequences which invariably affect human beings in different parts of the world. Insecurity knows
no boundary, hence no country of the world, developed or developing is exonerated or immuned. Measures have
been taken at different times by governments of world countries, but all to no avail. Seemingly, the problems of
insecurity tend to defy all tried solutions. Resources, energies and times have been expended as well as other
strategies adopted. Professional counseling, at both micro and macro levels will go a long way in addressing
and assuaging the negative impacts or effects of insecurity. Counselling models, frameworks and specific
approaches if applied will help prevent, manage or cope with the devastation of insecurity at the level of
individuals, groups or society. Human lives and properties are so precious that conserving and utilizing them
will foster development. Negative consequences of insecurity will gradually slide to naught, to guarantee peace,
unity, tranquility and well being of the citizenry the world over
Children in Danger: Act to End Violence Against Children ABA IHRC
Every five minutes, a child is killed by violence, a new report by UNICEF UK said. A majority of these deaths occur outside of war zones. The report, published this week by the UK branch of the United Nations children’s agency, said that violence kills more than 340 people under the age of 20 every day around the globe. Seventy-five percent of these deaths are reportedly caused by interpersonal violence, rather than war.
Dialectical Relationship Between Terrorism and Human Security: A Sociological...Rula alsawalqa
This article analyzes the dialectical relationship between terrorism and human security to reveal its dimensions and their role in counterterrorism and to understand what motivates individuals to join terrorist groups. Adopting a qualitative methodological design, data were analyzed through deductive reasoning from the sociological perspective. The findings revealed that terrorist threats to human security could not be addressed through traditional mechanisms alone. They require a new consensus that recognizes the linkages and interdependencies between development, human rights, and national security through a comprehensive approach that uses a wide range of new opportunities.

THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN COUNTER-TERRORISM IN NIGERIAChantal Abam
The exclusion of women in the fight against terrorism is a violation of human rights and it should not be promoted. This goes in line with the international Convention on the Eradication of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Therefore, the purpose of this work is to showcase the fact that contrary to public opinion and gender perspectives that classify women as the weaker sex and have little or no role to play in issues like this, there is a part which can be done only by women in the fight against terrorism. Therefore, in this piece of work, we shall be looking at some prominent women in the world and the significant parts they have played in the fight against terrorism. The subsequent part of this work will be on a recommendation, things that must be done by every government to include and listen to women on matters that have to do not only with peace building but also with the fight against terrorism.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Women, peace and security. 20 years later
Three big words mark the name of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, adopted
20 years ago. This landmark resolution is an enormous achievement for everyone working in the
field of gender equality as in 2000, it reaffirmed the important role of women in the prevention and
resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and
in post-conflict reconstruction and stressed the importance of their equal participation and full
involvement in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security. This document
was the first international agreement, that recognized the different needs of men and women in
times of armed conflict and calls for equal representation of women at all decision-making levels.
Each day media is filled with terrifying news of conflicts, ones that are far away and very close to
us. Images of suffering women and children that are at the epicentre of those conflicts shock us. But
yet we fail to notice threats that are very close to us – like domestic violence. Out of ten selected
causes and risk factors for disability and death among women between the ages of 15 and 44, rape
and domestic violence rated higher than cancer, motor vehicle accidents, war and malaria (World
Bank, 1994). Number of femicide in Lithuania increased by 61, 5% in 2019 (2018 – 13 women
killed by their intimate partner, compared to 21 women in 2019). It is impossible to talk about
global peace and security when we are not able to ensure security of women at their own home and
everyday life. When gender stereotypes prevailed in society prevent us from seeing gender
inequality as the main reason for violence against women and girls.
As former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet claimed: “We simply can no longer afford to deny
the full potential of one half of the population. The world needs to tap into the talent and wisdom of
women. Weather the issue is food security, economic recovery, health, or peace and security, the
participation of women is needed now more than ever.”
When half of the population is not feeling safe at their own home, peace and national security are at
risk. We have to admit that we are not only living in the midst of COVID – 19, but also in
pandemic of violence against women. Our inability to act cost lives of women and girls. Therefore,
after 20 years, it is time to realize the importance of Women, peace and security agenda with its
National Action Plan (2020 – 2024) and include women in the peacekeeping and conflict resolution
not only at the international level, but also within the state.
