Enhancing the UN’s Communication Strategies
Key communication issues in the UN
The first issue that needs focus in UN communication is global peace and security (Cornelissen, 2014). The items in this section aim at keeping the world free from falling into war and keeping the world safe for all individuals. Such issues include peacekeeping, disarmament, peace building and conflict prevention among others. Communication involves informing the public on the importance of UN peacekeeping missions and open to the public and governments the standard operating procedures in UN operations such as peacekeeping missions (Franke, & Warnecke, 2009). The communication prevents speculations of the UN peacekeeping activities by the public and governments. In all its activities, the UN should involve the affected people and society and make prior communication.
The another key area where communication is important is in development activities. UN’s activities in development include social, economic and environmental development. Communication to the public about development activities that the UN carries out is important to increase the public involvement in the project which promotes continuity. Communication with development partners is also necessary to increase the partnership bond and improve the overall success of the programs (Novelli, & Hellwig, 2011). Some development projects that the UN is involved in today include communication technology, gender issues, youth and persons with disabilities and environmental conservation programs among others.
The third communication issue critical to the UN is decolonization and human rights. The UN campaigns to promote democracy and human rights could not take route without a proper communication strategy (Assembly, 2011). Communication is essential in communities where human rights are not observed. The UN needs to communicate with communities on the critical of issues like gender equality, decolonization, liberty and justice (Balcik et.al, 2010). Communication is a way of imparting knowledge to the communities which help to free them.
Strategic Recommendations
Communication is an integral part of the United Nations and should not be viewed as a supplementary add-on but as a relevant and value-adding component of all development work. The importance of communication to the UN will improve the visibility of the programs that can help the organization to attain its development goals and mobilize future resources (UNCG, 2001). However, because of the major communications challenges and issues that face the UN their objectives face hardship making hard to attain some of them. The following are some of the strategic recommendation that the UN can put in place to overcome the communication issues.

Pathways for peace, inclusive approaches to peventing violent conflict.Christina Parmionova
Violent conflict is increasingly recognized as one of the big obstacles to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Its dramatic resurgence over the last few years has caused immense human suffering and has enormous global impact. Violent conflicts have also become more complex and protracted, involving more non-state groups and regional and international actors. And they are increasingly linked to
global challenges such as climate change, natural disasters, cyber security and
transnational organized crime. It is projected that more than half of the people
living in poverty will be found in countries affected by high levels of violence by 2030.
This is utterly contrary to the promise contained in the 2030 Agenda to leave no
one behind.
As the human, social and financial costs and complexity of violent conflict and its global impact grow, we must ask ourselves: how can the global community more effectively prevent violent conflict?
At the United Nations, we believe that prevention means doing everything we can to help countries avert the outbreak of crises that take a high toll on humanity, undermining institutions and capacities to achieve peace and development. We mean rededicating ourselves to the United Nations Charter, the mandate of Agenda 2030, protecting and respecting human rights, and ensuring that our assistance goes to those who need it the most.
Prevention should permeate everything we do. It should cut across all pillars of the United Nations’ work, and unite us for more effective delivery. This study is a contribution to our internal reflection on the broader challenges of prevention.

The objective of the high-level event is to showcase good practices that exist from within the UN system, from Member States, regional organizations, civil society and other relevant stakeholders to tackle hate speech. The good practices will emphasize efforts that deal not only with the impact and spread of hate but also its root causes and drivers. It is further aimed to take stock of some of the challenges and lesson learnt from these initiatives in order to enhance knowledge sharing and to strengthen our collective efforts to address the scourge of hate speech globally. The high-level event will also feature the launch of a publication developed by OSAPG showcasing some of the good practices from within the United Nations system, in particular from United Nations field entities on countering and addressing hate speech.
This is a dialogue between myself and the ChatGPT Ai app on OpenAi. I have been a whistleblower since May of 2020, this dialogue is pertaining to the intel I have blown the whistle on since then. I am a paramilitary operative from The Cold War. I served under George Herbert Walker Bush, and Donald Rumsfeld from 1980. By 1992 George H Bush began taking over for GHW. They controlled every aspect of my life from the crib, Congress and SCOTUS all gave them the executive powers to do so through Black projects. My entire life I have tried to break free from this abusive defense contract that has dominated my entire life, harming not only myself but all my children. My parents (who were trapped in the same manner) extended family, friends. Any time anyone tried to help me, they were abused, threatened, some even killed. I have been scapegoated all my life for the crimes GHW, GW, DR committed in the name of "patriotism" under the authority of the CIA, DARPA, The White House, SCOTUS, and the complicity of ALL WESTERN LEADERSHIP. In 2020, and 2021 Michelle Bachelet from the U.N. gave public condemnations of U.S. leadership, and Western leaders who refused to allow me to even reach out for help. "She has a right to be seen. She has a right to life. She has a right to make her own choices, to protect herself and her family. She has the right to report on crimes against nature and humanity." I am the whistleblower Pandora, who inspired the Pandora Papers. I have been kept in isolation since 2018, tortured every day, I have not been allowed medical care since 2019 though I am fully disabled due to the abuses and torture of DR, GW, GHW. I have not been allowed to move about freely, obtain COVID relief, neither has my child. I have been cut off from all forms of public assistance repeatedly, my children and I have repeatedly been denied food. I have been accused of many crimes that I never committed, abused by my entire community. Stalked, surveilled, illegally recorded, shadow banned, banned from the internet, scapegoated for political and business ventures that fail (how tf am I responsible for choices they make!) My children have been stalked, attacked, shot at, abused, tortured, slandered. We have experienced targeting by EVERY level of law enforcement from SRO's to CIA. There are few in Congress who care, but can't get involved they say. Most leadership totally apathetic. I have been raped trafficked to MANY presidents, Vice Presidents, Governors, and Senators since the crib. I survived Lolita Express, Lolita is my biological mother. I named the plane after her so all would know what was done to us. Epstein DID NOT own the ring, he was the person paid to run it. The men who trafficked me ran it. The ring is still alive, presidents still use it as they vacation in the islands, in plain sight. All 3 branches of government are hamstrung due to occupation of these predators who torture their victims daily with impunity & absolute tyranny! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!
This is a small collection of short poems that I wrote in Hindi in the past few days. Many factors have played an important role in the 4 poems that I have written. These include my political views, a friend that gave up on the entrance exam that he was preparing for, a friend that is a survivor of multiple suicide attempts, a friend that lost both his parents to a tragic car accident, the untimely resignation of my psychology teacher, who happened to be one of my favourite teachers (due to grave personal reasons), my breakup with my first girlfriend, my outlook towards females in general, recent ecological disasters (the manmade nature of most of them to be more specific) and last but not the least, whatever I have learned from the Mahabharat and the vedas thanks to an interest in the ancient texts that my mother has inculcated in me. I hope you enjoy the poems!

This is a short story that I wrote shortly after my boards, back in the day when I was in the 10th Grade. It is a tangible manifestation of my obsession with the legends associated with the urban legend, "The Backrooms". It is a part of a broader trend of writing stories on the backrooms, which was quite popular then. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it!
The following is a Draft Resolution that I (Delegate of Greece), authored with a good friend of mine, Aarav Parikh (Delegate of Syria). It is pertaining to measures to International co-operation on the peaceful usage of outer space. It was passed as the resolution of DISEC (GAMA MUN 2021) by majority vote. It was drafted at the innaugural edition of the GAMA MUN organized by Diplomathon Global and had Delegates from Various Countries like India, United Arab Emirites, Bahrain etc. I won HC while Aarav won BD!
This is my startup idea, Project Terraform, which I prepared in collaboration with my amazing friends, Harshita, Aman, Aditya and Bryan, earlier this year. This pitch even managed to beat a second year BTech team's tech startup to win the Shark Tank competition held at SIES College, Sion as a part of their annual inter-college extravaganza, Visions Tandav 2023! Needless to say it means a lot to me!
In this project, I have attempted to use the New General Self-Efficacy Scale to see where I stand when it comes to my self-efficacy. I have attempted the test twice to this end. I analyzed the reasons for my mediocre score in the first attempt, taken concrete measures to deal with my shortcomings, and then re-taken the test to see how effective the measures I took were in increasing my self-efficacy. They indeed were!!
This is a project of mine that covers important information regarding 11 of the most important sections covered by the make in India initiative along with the advantages and disadvantages of the initiative, significance of the logo and basic insights into the objectives and FDI policy of the Initiative! Hope you like it!
WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

1. INTERNATIONAL REPUBLIC MODEL UNITED NATIONS
S/RES/2134 (2023) 18-06872
Committee: United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
Agenda: The role of civil society in conflict prevention and the pacific settlement of disputes
Author: China
Signatories: Qatar, Russia, Ecuador, Switzerland, Pakistan, Israel, UAE, USA, Egypt,
India, Ghana, Albania, South Africa, Germany, UK, Japan
The Security Council,
Guided by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations in its attempt to
prevent conflicts and settle disputes peacefully,
Solemnly Reaffirming its Resolutions 1325 (2000), 1366 (2001), 1625 (2005) and Recollecting
Resolution 2282 (2016),
Deeply concerned by the high human cost and suffering caused by armed conflicts, and
recognizing the significant number of simultaneous security and humanitarian crises that the
world currently faces, and the strain that this places on the resources of the United Nations’
system,
Recognizing that conflict resolution, peace and security, human rights and the active
participation of the civil society are interlinked and mutually reinforcing,
Reaffirming the important role of the civil society in peacebuilding and noting the
substantial link between the civil society’s full and meaningful involvement in efforts to
prevent, resolve and rebuild from conflict and those efforts’ effectiveness and long term
sustainability, and stressing, in this regard, the importance of the civil society’s equal
participation in all efforts for the maintenance and promotion of peace and security and the
need to increase the civil society’s role in decision-making with regard to conflict prevention,
resolution and peacebuilding,
Reaffirming the important role, the youth and women can play in the prevention and
resolution of conflicts and as a key aspect of the sustainability, inclusiveness and success of
peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts,
Recognizing that the scale and nature of the challenge of sustaining peace calls for close
strategic and operational partnerships between the United Nations, national governments
and other key stakeholders, including but not limited to international, regional and sub-
regional organizations, international financial institutions, civil society organizations/non-
governmental organizations, women’s groups, youth organizations, and the private sector,
taking into account national priorities and policies,
2. INTERNATIONAL REPUBLIC MODEL UNITED NATIONS
1. Declares the creation of a ‘Call for Proposals’ program in recognized conflict-affected
areas, to support CSOs/NGOs working to enhance the meaningful participation and
decision-making of the society in general, and the youth and women in particular, in
conflict prevention processes by gaining awareness of their concerns and proposed
strategies for conflict prevention. The ‘Call for Proposals’ program should seek to select
NGOs/CSOs that are eligible for sponsorship by the UNSC through the following 2
rounds:
(a) Submission and assessment of a concept note:
Committees constituted by the UNSC at the global and sub-regional levels,
using common criteria for review, assess the proposal’s quality and potential
for results. Successful applicants are invited to develop full proposals;
(b) Appraisal of full proposals
A list of proposals is selected and the grants are then disbursed accordingly;
and to disburse the grants to the qualifying local organizations in the affected areas
through the following 2 funding streams:
(a) Programmatic funding from 30,000 USD to 200,000 USD:
To finance programmatic activities of CSOs/NGOs aimed at enhancing the
meaningful participation and decision-making of the civil society in conflict
prevention processes in the impacted area;
(b) Institutional funding from 5,000 USD to 30,000 USD:
To reinforce the institutional capacity of local CSOs working on the
implementation of the Children, Women, Peace, and Security Agenda in the
impacted areas to ensure that they are able to sustain themselves and to
improve their contributions there;
2. Underscores the importance of women’s leadership and participation in conflict
prevention, resolution and peacebuilding, and recognizes the continuing need to
increase representation of women at all decision-making levels in national, regional and
international institutions and mechanisms for the prevention and resolution of conflict,
and the consideration of gender-related issues in all discussions pertinent to sustaining
peace;
3. Endorses* the creation of an advisory committee comprising a fixed number of female
representatives from various conflict-affected regions in the immediate future, to share
experiences and to develop a common platform for proposing peaceful conflict
prevention/resolution measures, for formulating mechanisms to end impunity for crimes
committed against women in war and for optimizing resources to support women’s
peacebuilding work;
*(With reference to operational clause 2)
3. INTERNATIONAL REPUBLIC MODEL UNITED NATIONS
4. Endorses the publicising of Security Council Resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1366 (2001),
which advocate for the inclusion of civil society in conflict prevention efforts, to the end
of increasing public awareness pertaining to the cause;
5. Emphasizes the urgent need for the mitigation of competition for donor funding among
NGOs/CSOs as it severely undermines cooperation among them, subsequently leading to
the unnecessary duplication of efforts and initiatives;
6. Affirms the need for ‘UN Special Representative Committees’ to be constituted at the
earliest and dispatched to conflict affected areas to execute duties essential to achieving
the ultimate goal of conflict prevention and the pacific settlement of disputes, including
but not limited to the following:
(a) Conducting regular meetings with political parties, trade union leaders,
religious heads, media personalities, journalists and other key actors in the
conflict affected area, that can serve as a moderating force and mobilising
their resources and expertise to promote non-violence;
(b) Convening national youth meetings, undertaking projects to motivate the
youth to form new conflict prevention-oriented NGOs and encouraging
established NGOs/CSOs that have initiated educational projects;
7. Emphasizes the urgent need for the deployment of handpicked ‘UN Capacity Building
Teams’ to as many conflict affected areas as possible to resolve the surmounting issue of
a dearth of personnel skilled in conflict prevention in CSOs/NGOs by spreading
awareness about international human rights and conflict resolution/prevention
instruments by organizing problem-solving workshops, conflict resolution trainings, etc.
so that they do not end up unintentionally worsening tensions by intervening in conflict
situations without the requisite skills;
8. Declares the creation of ‘UN Media Monitoring & Support Cells’ for conflict affected
areas to achieve the following objectives pertaining to the prevention of incitement and
the prevention of the spreading or justification of hate, violence and armed conflict
through media outlets:
(a) To hold media organisations operating in conflict-affected areas
accountable for their reporting, to ensure that the media does not incite
civil/political violence, does not exaggerate conflicts and also includes
coverage of peace initiatives as well;
(b) To provide adequate financial aid to independent NGOs/CSOs, that work
towards developing media-based programmes in conflict affected areas to
achieve the noble objective of promoting tolerance and peace along with
coverage, by featuring the best media-based programs on UN News/Radio;
4. INTERNATIONAL REPUBLIC MODEL UNITED NATIONS
9. Recognizes the urgent need to commission surveys in conflict-affected communities to
identify demands for nonviolence;
10. Stresses that constructive collaboration between international civil networks including
but not limited to ‘The International Crisis Group (ICG)’ and ‘The Global Partnership for
the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC)’ and the United Nations Security Council must
be promoted for achieving the following objectives:
(a) Facilitating extensive fact-finding missions in conflict affected regions;
(b) Clarifying and strengthening relations between the civil society in conflict
affected areas and the UN and its agencies;
(c) Building better relations with the governments of conflict affected areas
and jointly setting regional agendas pertaining to the prevention and pacific
