Security Council requests subsidiary body to propose global


framework on countering terrorist propaganda
11 May Reaffirming that terrorism in all its forms and
manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to
international peace and security, the United Nations Security Council
today requested its main counter-terrorism subsidiary body to present
a proposal by 30 April 2017 for a comprehensive international
framework on the matter.
Through a Presidential Statement adopted during an open debate on
countering the narratives and ideologies of terrorism, the 15nation Council asked its Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) to
undertake the work and recommend guidelines and good practices to
effectively counter the ways the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant
(ISIL/Daesh), Al-Qaida and associated individuals and groups use
their narratives to encourage and recruit others to commit terrorist
acts.

The CTC would work closely with the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), the CounterTerrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) and other relevant bodies, as well as interested Member States.
The Council noted with concern that the ISIL, Al-Qaida, and associated groups craft distorted narratives that are based on
the misinterpretation and misrepresentation of religion to justify violence, which are utilized to recruit supporters and
foreign terrorist fighters, mobilize resources, and garner support from sympathizers, in particular by exploiting information
and communications technologies, including through the Internet and social media.

Also in the statement, the Council emphasized that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any religion,
nationality or civilization, underscoring the importance of promoting tolerance and inter religious dialogue. It also stressed
that terrorism can only be defeated by a sustained and comprehensive approach involving the active participation and
collaboration of all States, international and regional organizations and civil society.
In his opening remarks, Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson emphasized that terrorist groups are exploiting religious
beliefs in order to incite hatred and violence and to cause division and polarization in our societies.
Terrorists and violent extremists blatantly challenge the values enshrined in the United Nations Charter, the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights as well as our shared pursuit of peace, justice and human dignity, he said.
Terrorist bombs not only devastate human lives but also target common values, he said, noting that the global community
has a responsibility to shield people from harm and protect universal values from erosion.
Faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, and the primacy of global solidarity
represent the greatest force in our hands to counter terrorist narratives and ideologies, Mr. Eliasson said.
With young people falling prey to terrorist narratives and ideologies, he called on Council Members and all Member States
to translate into practice its historic resolution 2250 of December 2015 that recognized the value and role of young people
and young peacebuilders.
We must do more than repeat general statements about youth being the leaders of the future, he said.
With superior communications skills, extensive social media networks and often more influential voices than their elders,
the current generation of youth can amplify messages of common humanity.
Incitement and recruitment of terrorists as well as conditions conducive to terrorism have been addressed in several Security
Council resolutions, the General Assemblys Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and the Secretary-Generals Plan of
Action to Prevent Violent Extremism.
It is necessary to counter and refute false and nefarious narratives. Such narratives must also be replaced with compelling
alternative visions, backed by tangible opportunities for meaningful and constructive engagement, he said.
Stressing that security and military responses are not enough, he said that the Secretary-Generals action plan strongly
focuses on preventive approaches and cautioned against the us against them mentality prevalent across the world today.
In a deeper sense, the best narrative to counter violent extremism may perhaps not be a narrative, he said. This whole
discussion is not about a story. It is about action to build peace, development and human rights.
Mohi El-Din Afifi, Secretary-General of Al Azhar Islamic Research Academy, said the grim realities in the Middle East had
surpassed all limits of religion and morals, with crimes being perpetrated in the name of Islam. The media had distorted that
notion, he emphasized, adding that, in reality, such crimes had no relation to religious or human traditions.
The Academy worked to combat terrorist ideologies by providing education through scholarships. It hosted 40,000 students
from 130 countries, and placed an emphasis on the pluralism of religion. It was also working with communities in Iraq,
Syria and Yemen, besides partnering globally with member organizations to spread international peace.
No silver bullet to stop terrorists using Internet
Steve Crown, Vice-President and Deputy General Counsel of Microsoft Corporation, said that, for the Internet industry, the
scale of the terrorist challenge is daunting. Indeed, as one was terrorist propaganda site was taken down, another seemed
to spring up in its place.

There had been 7,500 tweets within 15 minutes of the Paris attacks, and within two weeks, there had been 1 million Internet
views, many praising the attacks, he recalled. In fact, another company in the technology sector had noted that its 1.6 billion
users submitted one million reports of objectionable postings every day across all content categories. If there were an
elegant solution, industry would have adopted it, he said, adding that there was no silver bullet to stop terrorists using the
Internet.
He went on to emphasize that terrorist use of Internet platforms was a complicated topic. Like fire, gunpowder and the
printing press, any technology could be used for either good or evil. Since the Internet industry was built on the idea that
communications could unleash human potential, Microsofts mission was to empower every person on the planet.
Other companies in the sector, including Google, Facebook and Twitter, differed from each other and competed fiercely at
times, but they came together when Internet platforms were abused, he said. Perhaps the best example was the unity
displayed in combating child sex abuse materials, he said. Similarly, the industry was united in working to address terrorist
abuse of technology services.
Describing public-private partnerships as the appropriate response, he stressed the need for the international community to
work together in a coordinated and transparent way. However, there was no universally accepted definition of terrorism or
extremism at the international or regional level, he pointed out. While definitional lines were hard to draw, the international
community could agree broadly on harmful actors, he said, emphasizing that dialogue and learning was the path to success.
The rule of law and the promotion of human rights were critical for Microsoft, he stressed, pointing out that it published a
global human rights statement in order to ensure the right approach to doing business.
As actors worked together across sectors, it was essential that they have an open discussion and explore new and improved
means of addressing misuse of information and technology platforms. We need to admit what we do not know, he said,
underscoring the need to focus on taking action and learning from experience.

Senior UN official urges South Sudan to implement pledges to


address sexual violence crimes
11 May Concluding a four-day visit to Juba, South Sudan, the
United Nations Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict
has urged high-level authorities of the Transitional Government of
National Unity to implement commitments made to address sexual
violence crimes.
Successful implementation of the Peace Agreement will require that
sexual violence crimes are monitored, tracked and reported, and are
addressed in all transitional justice processes, stressed the Special
Representative, Zainab Hawa Bangura, in a press release.
The Special Representative said the commitments are contained in a
Joint Communiqu that she and President Salva Kiir signed on 11
October 2014, as well as in a Unilateral Communiqu issued on 18
December 2014 by current First Vice-President Riek Machar.

In their respective communiqus, the signatories had committed to immediately cease and prevent the commission of sexual
violence crimes, hold perpetrators accountable, improve services to survivors, and ensure that sexual violence considerations
are included in the ongoing processes of security sector reform, as well as disarmament, demobilization and reintegration,
Ms. Bangura said.
I commend the steps taken by both signatories to put in place arrangements to facilitate the implementation of these
commitments, including the designation of High-Level Focal Points, the creation of Technical Working Groups and the
development of Implementation Plans, as well as the signing of undertakings by 53 senior commanders of the SPLA-IO

[Sudan Peoples Liberation Army in Opposition], the Special Representative said.


Despite these commitments and the progress made to implement them, Ms. Bangura emphasized that sexual violence crimes
have continued to be systematically committed in the context of the conflict.
Now, more than ever before, it is imperative for the authorities of the Transitional Government of National Unity to ensure
accountability for these crimes, she added.
During her visit, the Special Representative engaged with the leadership of the SPLA and the South Sudanese National
Police Service (SSNPS), who she said have committed to taking concrete and time-bound actions to address sexual violence
in accordance with Security Council resolutions 1960 (2010) and 2106 (2013).
My Office will pursue its support to the SPLA and SSNPS in developing Action Plans, which will provide a structured and
comprehensive framework through which to address sexual violence crimes, Ms. Bangura said.
The Special Representative, who visited South Sudan at the invitation of the Government, met with President Kiir, First
Vice-President Machar and other key government officials. She also held meetings with womens groups providing services
to survivors, the humanitarian community, and the diplomatic corps.
This visit follows Ms. Banguras previous visit in 2014, during which she met with survivors and survivors groups, and
underscored the urgent need for resources to support multi-sectoral services for survivors, who often suffer trauma,
marginalization and stigmatization.

Poverty and fear do not require a passport to travel UN


alliance with Nobel laureates
11 May The United Nations agricultural agency has joined forces
with a group of Nobel laureates to tackle the problems of hunger and
violence through a new alliance launched in Rome today.
Freeing the world from hunger and want is a fundamental
contribution to lasting peace, said Jos Graziano da Silva, DirectorGeneral of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), at the
launch event of the FAO-Nobel Peace Laureates Alliance,
adding that in conflict situations, agriculture and food security give
new life to affected homes and communities they bring people
together and drive recovery.

rights, provide microcredit to the poor, and halt interreligious
violence. The group will advise FAO on ways to strengthen the link
between peace and food security in the agencys ongoing work to promote sustainable development and resilience across the
world.

FAO highlighted that rural areas and their populations continue to be the most affected in conflicts, as attacks on farming
communities undermine rural livelihoods and displace people from their homes. That means assisting farmers is critical to
prevent widespread displacement and set the foundations for rebuilding, Mr. Graziano da Silva stressed.
Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank, placed support for rural entrepreneurship at the heart of solutions to hunger
and instability as he highlighted the need to redesign existing institutions to avoid the failings of the past.

We know business as a way to make money. But there can be another kind of business a business to solve problems, he
said, stressing the need for building self-reliance and the benefits of using business as an engine for solving social problems.
Rural people can be as good an entrepreneur as anybody else we need financial institutions to support them, Mr. Yunus
said, adding that this is necessary so that youth see a future in rural areas and become drivers for employment and economic
development, rather than migrating to cities as job seekers.
Poverty and fear do not require a passport to travel, said Oscar Arias Snchez, former President of Costa Rica, drawing
attention to how hunger and want for opportunity have caused the largest migration crisis the world has seen in decades.
There is the violence that strikes with weapons and that which slowly creeps up, he said, as he outlined the many ways
war affects farming communities and the environment. Lack of resilience and food security in many countries is nothing if
not pure violence.
Reminding the audience that the first poem ever written was one of war, Mr. Arias Snchez stressed that the international
community faces a choice today.
Nobody has yet written the last poem we still have ink in our quill, he said. We have to decide whether we will depict a
scene of a desert in which death has been crowned queen or we can decide to write water, bread, air and tree sap we have
to decide if we will write a last war poem or a poem of our peace and food security, he said.
Along those lines, womens rights activist Tawakkol Karman called the failure to eradicate hunger humankinds greatest
shame.
She noted that while the process of globalization currently transforming the planet has allowed some individuals and
corporations to amass vast fortunes, millions of people go hungry each day.
This equation needs to change, she said. What we need is a positive fair globalization where all people share the
benefits.
Doing so will require moral commitment and honest political will, she noted.
When you see a problem like hunger, there is no point in crying about it the question is, what are you going to do about
it? asked Irish peace activist Betty Williams. Tears without action are wasted sentiment.
If we can make this work, its a big step for humanity, she added, referring to the new alliance.
In a video message, former UN Secretary General and Nobel Laureate Kofi Annan underlined the ways that hunger and
competition for agricultural resources can exacerbate social tension, as he called for a more holistic way of thinking about
food security and peace.

Iraq: UN envoy condemns cowardly bomb attacks in Sadr City


and Baquba
11 May The United Nations envoy for Iraq has strongly condemned
the car bomb attack that occurred earlier today in a busy market in
Sadr City, claiming many lives and leaving scores injured.
These are cowardly terrorist attacks on civilians who have done
nothing but going about their normal daily lives, said Jn Kubi,
Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq, in a
press release issued today by the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq
(UNAMI).

This latest attack comes after a car bomb was detonated on 9 May
near a restaurant in Baquba, which also left large numbers of
casualties.

Such acts of terrorist violence are certainly against all the principles
of decency and humanity, and as such must be strongly condemned, Mr. Kubi stressed.
I call on the authorities to do their utmost to quickly bring the perpetrators to justice, and express my deepest condolences
to the families of those who lost their lives and wish the injured a speedy recovery, he added.

Yemen: UN-brokered peace talks continue in parallel meetings


11 May The United Nations-facilitated Yemeni peace talks
continued today in parallel meetings, with a committee making
headway by exploring a proposal to release 50 per cent of all prisoners
and detainees held by the parties before the month of Ramadan.
According to the Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General
for Yemen, the political committee discussed aspects of the
resumption of State institutions and political process. The parties
discussed the need to provide an enabling political environment.
In the security committee, the parties began to present their visions on
withdrawals and the handover of weapons, specifically mechanisms of

withdrawal and assembling of forces.

The prisoners and detainees committee considered a proposal to


release 50 per cent of all prisoners and detainees held by the parties
before the Holy month of Ramadan. The discussion included a review of the necessary implementation mechanisms and
selection criteria of initial releases. The delegates agreed to develop proposals for upcoming meetings.
The delegations reaffirmed that their discussions will be guided by the three reference points; the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) Initiative and Implementation Mechanism, the National Dialogue Outcomes and the relevant UN Security Council
resolutions. They renewed their commitment to dialogue as the only means to put an end to the war and return to peaceful
and orderly transition.

I am pleased by the seriousness demonstrated by both parties, the Special Envoy said, urging the media to avoid
disseminating rumours that disrupt the peace process. We are hopeful that this collaboration will lead to real peace and I
call upon everyone to support Yemen during this critical phase.
The three committees will reconvene tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile in New York, Stphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, said that while conflict continued in
some parts of Yemen, the cessation of hostilities was largely holding in the past month.
This provided some opportunities for humanitarian partners to expand responses in certain areas, conduct assessments or
directly monitor activities that up to that point had been monitored remotely, Mr. Dujarric said.
In Saada Governorate, the UN Childrens Fund (UNICEF) was able to re-start the rehabilitation of a water facility in Kitaf
district, serving some 10,000 people, which had been damaged by airstrikes. The cessation also coincided with an ongoing
food distribution to about 270,000 people in the area.
Emergency clean water was trucked to Taiz Governorate, benefitting over 45,000 people, and three mobile health and
nutrition teams were deployed in Taiz City, where partners delivered medical supplies for over 130,000 people, the
spokesman said.
From 12-15 May, the UNs Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the World Food Programme
(WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) will conduct a joint mission to Sana'a, to gauge the current humanitarian
situation and the operational response.

UN human rights panel condemns civilian attacks in Syria; calls


for accountability
11 May Strongly condemning recent attacks on civilians, hospitals
and clinics, and camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in
Syria, a United Nations-mandated human rights inquiry today called
on all parties to cease the unlawful attacks and return to a full
cessation of hostilities.
These incidents demonstrate the undeniable fact that this conflict has
repeatedly exacted its heaviest toll on civilians, said Paulo Srgio
Pinheiro, Chair of the Independent International Commission of
Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, in a press release issued
today by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
(OHCHR).

This flagrant disregard for international humanitarian law is not new,


but rather is the continuation of a well-established trend of unlawfully
attacking medical sites and personnel, places of refuge, and infrastructure necessary for civilian life, he stressed.
Specifically, the Commission condemned in the strongest terms recent attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure,
notably on hospitals and clinics in Aleppo city, and on a camp for internally displaced persons in Idlib.
Aerial bombardments, ground shelling and rocket fire have consistently been used in deliberate, indiscriminate and
disproportionate attacks on areas where Syrians civilians live and where they struggle to survive, the Commission said.

Moreover, the Commission emphasized that since the attacks against Al-Quds hospital in Aleppo governorate on 27 April,
there have been more than a half dozen attacks against other medical facilities in the area, all of which are specifically
protected sites under international humanitarian law. Scores of civilians and medical personnel have been wounded or killed

in these attacks, and the attack on 5 May on the Kamounah camp for IDPs in Sarmada, Idlib, also reportedly killed and
injured dozens of civilians.
In recent weeks, markets, bakeries and a water station have also been aerially bombarded. With the one supply route still
open to opposition-controlled areas of Aleppo city, the destruction of food, water and medical supplies raises grave concerns
for the civilians within, the Commission stressed.
At a time in which the cessation of hostilities agreement has increasingly deteriorated, it is paramount that all parties to the
conflict and those States seeking a peaceful resolution, demand civilian protection measures be taken, said the
Commission, calling on all parties to cease the unlawful attacks on civilian areas, especially humanitarian locations and
specially protected sites under international humanitarian law.
The Commission said it has repeatedly noted that international humanitarian laws foundational principle of distinction
which underlies a number of war crimes requires all parties to a conflict to distinguish between lawful and unlawful
targets. The recent unlawful attacks are violations of international humanitarian law, and some are war crimes, the
Commission said.
Failure to respect the laws of war must have consequences for the perpetrators, Mr. Pinheiro stressed. Accountability
must be part of the process of returning Syria to peace. Until the culture of impunity is uprooted, civilians will continue to be
targeted, victimized and brutally killed.
The Commission said it strongly supports all efforts to find a political solution to the conflict, including a return to a full
cessation of hostilities. It added that it remains committed to fulfilling its mandate to investigate and document all violations
occurring in the context of the Syrian armed conflict, regardless of who commits them.
The Commission was established by the Human Rights Council in August 2011 to investigate and record all violations of
international human rights law and allegations of crimes against humanity and war crimes. The Commission is also tasked
with identifying, where possible, those responsible for these violations with a view to ensuring that perpetrators are held
accountable.
In addition to Mr. Pinheiro, the Commission consists of Karen Koning AbuZayd, Special Adviser on the Summit on
Addressing Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants, and Carla del Ponte and Vitit Muntarbhorn, who serve as
Commissioners.
The Commission will present an oral update to the Human Rights Council in Geneva during an interactive dialogue at its
32nd session in June.

In Madagascar, Ban calls for end to corruption, reports on


alarming cost of hunger
11 May During his visit to Madagascar today, United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Malagasy parliamentarians
to end the corruption that has weakened their society, while launching
a report on the cost of hunger in the island nation.
Your elections last year represented an important milestone that
ended five years of political crisis, Mr. Ban said in an address to the
joint congress of both the Senate and the National Assembly of
Madagascar, a country which lies off the southeast coast of Africa.

This is the third and last stop of the UN chiefs trip to the region
which began last Saturday, and included the Seychelles and
Mauritius.

Madagascar is at a crossroads. I see huge challenges and even greater


opportunities, he said, underlining the existence of widespread poverty, weak economic growth and high unemployment, as
well as the countrys water which is reportedly among the worst in the world.
This Parliament has the democratic legitimacy to guide Madagascar in meeting the challenges ahead. You can end the
corruption that has weakened Malagasy society. You can help fight the illegal trafficking of natural treasures. In this way,
you can be fully accountable to the voters, the Secretary-General stressed.
Noting that military operations can never excuse human rights violations here or anywhere, the UN chief said there is no
place for torture in the modern world, including in Madagascar: I urge you to end all rights violations, including mob
justice and extrajudicial killings, he insisted, applauding the country for abolishing the death penalty.
Thanking the active network of female Parliamentarians who champion the cause of nutrition, Mr. Ban recalled that
Madagascar is a member of his Scaling Up Nutrition Movement.
I commend your commitment to improving nutrition. Nutrition is about more than feeding people. It requires attention to
health, agriculture, education, womens empowerment and water, he said, declaring the launch of the UN report on the cost
of hunger in Madagascar.
It paints an alarming picture. Nearly one out of two children here suffer from stunting. This is a tragedy for individuals and
a disaster for development. Undernutrition costs more than a billion and a half dollars each year in Madagascar. That is
almost 15 per cent of GDP. The human toll is immeasurable, he warned.
Later, at a press conference with Malagasy President Hery Rajaonarimampianina, Mr. Ban told reporters that the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development can help Madagascar open a new future.
I am pleased that it is widely supported by the countrys officials and development partners. The United Nations will do
everything possible to help this country reach the Sustainable Development Goals here, he said.
He also commended Madagascar for being among the more than 175 countries that have signed the Paris Agreementon
climate change, and urged the Parliament to ratify it immediately.

Somalia: UN calls for urgent action to support drought-hit


communities
11 May A senior United Nations humanitarian official in Somalia
today called for urgent action to support drought-stricken
communities in Puntland and Somaliland and avert a further
deterioration of the situation.
The drought has impacted lives and livelihoods, compounding an
already challenging humanitarian situation. In some areas, 60-80 per
cent of herds have been lost, with devastating impact on families who
depend on livestock for income, food and status.

In Somaliland and Puntland, close to two million people are affected


by the drought amid the El Nio phenomenon. WFP/Petterik Wiggers

I am deeply concerned about the devastating effects of the persisting


drought on the communities in Puntland and Somaliland, said Peter
de Clercq, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, following his
recent visit to those areas. If we can vaccinate livestock and provide
cash and inputs to agro-pastoralists now, we can mitigate the impact

of the current drought.


Nearly 385,000 people in Puntland and Somaliland facing acute food insecurity while an estimated 1.3 million people are at
risk of slipping into acute food insecurity if they do not receive assistance, according to the UN Office for the Coordination
of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Overall, roughly 1.7 million, or 37 per cent of the 4.6 million people there, need some
form of humanitarian assistance.
Even though recent rains have brought an end to the drought in some areas, the crisis remains of serious concern given the
cumulative impact of up to four failed rainy seasons in some areas. If the rains stop earlier than the end of May or early
June, the situation could deteriorate rapidly and deeply, Mr. de Clercq said.
In March, the Humanitarian Coordinator launched a call for aid requesting $105 million to boost the drought response.
Priority is given to putting cash in people's pockets to enable recovery of livelihoods for both pastoralists and agropastoralists. Assistance to pastoralists includes a broad spectrum of animal health support, such as vaccinations and possible
restocking in the future. Agro-pastoralists are also provided with seeds and tractor hours.
During his visit, Mr. de Clercq met with representatives of the government, donors, humanitarian partners and affected
communities to assess the impact the current drought and ongoing response by partners. The visit was also part of an
initiative to find solutions for the 1.1 million Somalis in protracted displacement across the country.
