The United Nations Security Council for the first time held a meeting to discuss the rising threat of commercial spyware, and many countries called for regulations. Not everyone was on board. Read about the discussion from @Techcrunch
"#Syrian opposition leader says state institutions will be preserved in 18-month transition"
"#AlBahra said the transition should be in line with #UnitedNations #SecurityCouncil Resolution 2254, adopted on 18 December 2015, which outlines a roadmap for #Syria's political transition, including nationwide ceasefire, accountability for atrocities, and free and fair #elections under a new #constitution."
"All signatories of the #RomeStatute, including many of #Israel's allies, are obliged to detain and hand over indicted leaders"

Yesterday's Briefing to the #UN #SecurityCouncil on the Protection of #Civilians in #Gaza by Joyce #Msuya, Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator:
»Since the escalation of this conflict in October 2023, we have briefed this Council on no fewer than 16 occasions.
We have condemned the death, destruction and dehumanization of civilians in Gaza who have been driven from their homes, stripped of their sense of place and dignity, forced to witness their family members killed, burned and buried alive. […]
now is the time for Member States to use their leverage to prevent and stop violations of international #humanitarian #law – through diplomatic and economic pressure, responsible arms transfers and combating #impunity.«
The Security Council is totally undemocratic @LetsRoc but without it, the UN probably wouldn't exist. We're stuck with the lesser evil. The lesser evil is still evil. What are feasible alternatives?

The #list of "parties that commit grave violations affecting #children in situations of armed conflict" is just an annex to "Children and armed conflict", an annual report prepared by the #UN #SecretaryGeneral for the #SecurityCouncil, which requested it in resolution 1261(1999)
The reports have several dozens of pages, mentioning specifically where and how children were harmed, by which parties. Parties don't just get "listed".
Reports so far:

Reporter: Do you know if there are next steps here?
“The next step is a simple one – what ever form it takes, which is to continue fighting with every breath we have, with everything we have for the people of Gaza because the blood of those is on our hands. It is on all of our hands whether we like it or not – if we are US Citizens, if we're U Chicago students. We are implicated in this horror that is being visited with total impunity because the US Security vetoes
[the United States vetoes every resolution condemning the atrocities of Israel in the #SecurityCouncil of the #UnitedNations and blocks every sanction that would be applied to the State of #Israel for crimes against humanity. ]

The #US abstained and the 14 other council members all voted in favour of the #SecurityCouncil #ceasefire resolution, put forward by the 10 elected council members who voiced their frustration with more than five months of deadlock between the major powers. Applause broke out in the chamber after the vote.

For the first time the UN security council has voted for a call for a ceasefire in Gaza, after the US abstained, rather than using its veto as it has done on previous occasions. #Russia and #China have also previously vetoed texts.
