Developing partnerships are beneficial to expanding Rotary’s impact and reach and to building peace. Peace Fellow Kimberly Weichel shared the work of 3 international organizations and their potential for collaboration: United Nations Associations around the world; the Global Peace Index produced by the Institute of Economics and Peace, and building bridges with Russia through citizen engagement, particularly through RI's Russia InterCountry Committee. Rotarian Robert Stewart discussed potential for partnership with Lions Clubs.
Multidimensional poverty exists not only in low-income countries but also in middle-income countries. Addressing poverty and inequality globally necessitates collective action and cooperation among nations.

Los pequeños Estados insulares del Caribe ante el reto de la transición energ...University of West Indies
The presentation deals with the energy transition facing the Caribbean, which is mostly made up of territories that depend on imported resources for energy generation, transport, industry and cooking, will have an impact on the region's societies and especially on vulnerable groups. The energy situation in Caribbean SIDS, mostly CARICOM members, is addressed.
This presentation aims to analyse the role of the Caribbean in the bi-regional relationship between Europe and the Latin American and Caribbean region by examining the formal mechanisms that articulate relations between the Caribbean and Europe, and the results of the III EU-CELAC Summit.
The presentation examines the role of Caribbean SIDS, particularly the CARICOM member States, in CELAC as the regional mechanism that includes all Latin American and Caribbean countries.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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

2. Is the Third World an old
fashioned concept?
How could the Global South
definition be any different?
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-31042808
3. The Third World
The first to use it in its modern sense was Alfred
Sauvy, a French demographer who drew a
parallel with the “third estate” during the French
revolution.
In 1952 Sauvy wrote that “this ignored,
exploited, scorned Third World, like the Third
Estate, wants to become something, too.”
4. Third World: Definitions
• It is the world made up of the ex-colonial, newly-independent,
non-aligned countries.
• It usually has being defined simultaneously as the non-aligned
world and as the global jurisdiction of poverty and under-
development.
• Like other collectives descriptions of Africa, Asia, the Middle East,
the Pacific islands and Latin America, the designation was more
about what such places were not than what they were.
• The concept was developed around a set of measurable criteria
usually relied on identifying material circumstances.
• Considering the diversity of the states involved, the definition
appeals to a common history and consciousness.
• In its origins, it was related to the idea of a “third way”.
• The decline in its use happened as the use of “globalization”
6. • 1961: Belgrade, the Non-Aligned Summit
• 1964: Group of 77 at the first UNCTAD
• By the 60’s: Main focus was anticolonialism
• By the 70’s: Main focus was development (the 70’s
was proclaimed the “Development Decade” by the UN).
• From the 70´s: Attempts to reform the international
economic system (the New International Economic
Order) and development of a common identity
(common cause and common action).
• In the 80’s: The “development momentum” was lost
• In the 90’s: The end of the Cold War changed the
rhetoric in the international discourse
7. The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)
• It is a group of states which are not formally aligned with or
against any major power bloc.
• The purpose of the organization is to ensure the national
independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security
of non-aligned countries in their struggle against imperialism,
colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, and all forms of foreign
aggression, occupation, domination, interference or
hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics.
• As of 2012, the movement has 120 members and 17 observer
countries.
• The countries represent nearly two-thirds of the United
Nations’ members and contain 55% of the world population.
8. • The 16th
NAM summit took place in Tehran, Iran, in
2012.
• Representatives from over 150 countries attended
(attendance at the highest level includes 27 presidents, 2
kings and emirs, 7 prime ministers, 9 vice presidents, 2
parliament spokesmen and 5 special envoys).
• At the summit, Iran took over from Egypt as Chair of the
Non-Aligned Movement for the period 2012 to 2015.
• The 17th
Summit of the Non Aligned Movement is to be
held in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2015.

22. Small Island Developing States have been recognized
as a special case for development by the UN system,
and by the entire world.
The inherent vulnerabilities pose specific and unique
challenges to development, such as distance to
markets, achieving economies of scale, high costs of
transport and extreme vulnerability to shocks, and
therefore require specific assistance that is targeted.
SIDS are an auto-categorization group
Most of them are Members of AOSIS
23. • The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) is a coalition of small
island and low-lying coastal countries that share similar
development challenges and concerns about the environment,
especially their vulnerability to the adverse effects of global climate
change.
• AOSIS has a membership of 44 States and observers, drawn from all
oceans and regions of the world.
• 39 are UN members, close to 28 % of developing countries, and 20% of
the UN’s total membership.
• Together, SIDS communities constitute some 5% of the global
population.
• It functions primarily as an ad hoc lobby and negotiating voice for SIDS
within the United Nations system.
• The Alliance does not have a formal charter. There is no regular budget,
nor a secretariat. Member States work together primarily through their
New York diplomatic Missions to the United Nations.
• Major policy decisions are taken at ambassadorial-level plenary sessions.

25. • It was formed in November 1990 as a negotiating body for the first
meeting of the intergovernmental negotiating committee. As a direct
result, language on SIDS was included in the final text of the United
Nations
• AOSIS has enabled small islands to negotiate in international fora for
positive change from a collective position.
• This has helped to gain greater recognition for the concerns of small
islands in the United Nations organizations but has had limited impact
on the global political stage where global core nations (North America,
Australasia, Europe and Japan) dominate.
• AOSIS usually is slightly ahead of the ‘next most radical’ negotiating
position (often held by the EU), for example updating their temperature
and GHG concentration targets to 1.58C and 350 ppm
• AOSIS suggested thresholds for sea-level rise and the avoidance of
adverse effects on SIDS as a benchmark for climate change mitigation
success
• Key members of AOSIS have always been frontrunners, supporting the
Alliance position but separately advocating further action
27. Third International Conference on Small Island
Developing States (SIDS Conference)
• September 1- 4 2014, in Apia, Samoa
• Attended by 21 Heads of State and Government, as well as 3,500
delegates.
• Theme: “Sustainable development of the SIDS, through genuine
and lasting partnerships”
• 300 partnerships were registered towards the SIDS Conference
(http://www.sids2014.org/partnerships).
• In parallel with plenary discussions, six multi-stakeholder
Partnership Dialogues took place on the themes of: sustainable
economic development; climate change and disaster risk management
(DRM); social development, health and non-communicable diseases
(NCDs), youth and women; sustainable energy; oceans, seas and
biodiversity; and water and sanitation, food security and waste
management.

CARICOM PARTICIPATION
30. Twenty years after the Barbados Action Plan
• Lack of follow-through, lack of finance.
• Public Health as a Caribbean vulnerability.
• Crime and insecurity as one “transversal” problem associated to
Caribbean vulnerabilities and sustained development.
• Debt problem.
• GDP per capita as the only “indicator” to legitimize access to
international concessional funds.
• Technology transfer is needed.
• Need to improve data and indicators on “Caribbean
vulnerabilities and its social and economic impacts” (CARICOM
project on environmental statistics).
• Insufficient intra and inter-regional cooperation.
31. Twenty years after the Barbados Action Plan (1994)
• Caribbean SIDS are even more vulnerable and fragile
(economic, social and environmentally) nowadays.
• International cooperation and multilateral commitments to
the region below the requirements to addressing critical
areas: a) capacity constraint issues, b) poverty reduction
challenges and, c) the region’s vulnerability to external
shocks and climate change impacts.
• Under the principle of common but differentiated
responsibilities, international community must be
encouraged to base their overall support on partner
countries national strategies, institutions and procedures.
33. Twenty years after the Barbados Action Plan
Current world scenario and certain principles /
practices established at the global economic
institutions have diminished the political will and the
resources for international development cooperation.
Caribbean SIDS should rely much more on their
domestic and regional resources than ever before to
overcome the economic, social, and environmental
challenges ahead.
34. Twenty years after the Barbados Action Plan
• Regional discussions on SIDS should be anchored in a
coordinated approach through a regional consensus
building process at CARICOM.
• It’s necessary to examine respective national development
plans in an effort to identify similarities (to ventilate
regional viewpoints and solidify a Caribbean approach).
• NGOs, Civil Society, Private Sector organizations and
universities should play a greater role in the process of
regional consensus building and implementation.
35. • Success of SAMOA pathway will be measured by the
implementation and follow-up initiatives
• Requires genuine and durable partnerships;
• Barbados PM –establishment of inter and intra-regional SIDS inter-
governmental mechanisms in the three SIDS Regions to facilitate
implementation of the SAMOA Pathway. Barbados offered itself as
a hub for inter and intra-regional SIDS cooperation.
• Trinidad (endorsed by AOSIS) –Proposal for a Global Compact
reflecting the collective political will of SIDS to support
implementation of the SIDS agenda.
• Intra and inter-regional collaboration and cooperation, sharing of
best practices and successful initiatives; joint advocacy by SIDS
through regional secretariats. (Preliminary meeting on the margins of
the 2014 UNGA).
BEYOND SAMOA
37. Some questions to think about:
• How do (Caribbean) small states survive in
today’s world?
• Do (Caribbean) small states differ also in
other respects? If so, how?
• What are the benefits and costs of being
small?
• Is smallness an everlasting condition?
