Stand in solidarity with victims of terrorism and honor the legacy of those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks.
Let's works with local communities, civil society, and state institutions to address threats related to radicalization and violent extremism as well as to understand their impacts on societies, and in particular, vulnerable groups.

Okay: What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Did you hear about it????
UNRWA terrorists will get immunity and legal protection from the UN for their participation in the October 7 Massacre.
What what what???
This is the only English source I found about it. Idk how reliable is it 😒:
I haven't been so disappointed by the UN since they officially ignored 07/10 in their "International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to Victims of Terrorism".
So, a month?

The Hiroshima bombing on August 6, 1945, caused immense destruction and loss of life, reshaping views on warfare. Similarly, the September 11, 2001, attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and transformed national security policies. Both events highlight humanity's capacity for terror and suffering. The number 666, often linked to evil and apocalyptic themes, serves as a chilling reminder of how human actions can unleash chaos and devastation.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF TERRORISM - 21 AUGUST 2024 - பயங்கரவாதத்தால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களுக்கான சர்வதேச நினைவு மற்றும் அஞ்சலி நாள் - 21 ஆகஸ்ட் 2024.

[ad_1] Today marks the 6th Commemoration of the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism. The United States stands with the global community of victims, families, survivors, and communities who have been impacted by the scourge of terrorism. The effects of terrorism are long-lasting and tragic. Victims of terrorism must remain at the forefront of efforts to provide them with the justice and support they deserve. The United States and its international partners have made great strides in detecting and disrupting terrorist attacks, diminishing terrorist recruitment, and denying terrorists support. We are committed to preventing future attacks and to hold terrorists to account for their crimes. We pay solemn tribute to those who lost their lives in terrorist attacks, and we will never forget the victims of terrorism or stop our pursuit of justice and peace. [ad_2]

Remarks by Claudio Cordone, DSRSG for Iraq for Political Affairs and Electoral Assistance and UNAMI Officer in Charge Canal Hotel Bombing Commemoration
Dear colleagues, friends,
Today, on the anniversary of the Canal Hotel bombing, we are marking two international days designated by the General Assembly. One is World Humanitarian Day, designated specifically on the anniversary of that bombing. The other is 21st August, the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism.
I wish to use these solemn commemorations to honour all the humanitarian workers who lost their lives in the service of humanity, and all victims and survivors of terrorism.
Colleagues,
2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers, and 2024 is expected – sadly – to be even worse. Humanitarian workers from the UN alongside others from local and international NGOs are being killed, injured, abducted, together with the civilians they support and who, as always, bear the brunt of conflicts everywhere.
International humanitarian law is being trampled upon. More than ever before, atrocities are being documented, sometimes with pride by the very perpetrators, and yet, impunity prevails just about everywhere.
In our region, in Gaza, we have seen the highest number of UN staff killed in a single conflict. Among them are 207 of my former colleagues at UNRWA, killed together with over 40,000 Palestinians in a ferocious war in which all sides are violating international law, and it is a war that may yet escalate into a regional conflagration.
In the words of the Secretary-General, this is a failure of humanity, responsibility, and leadership.
But this grim reality should not be a cause for despondency. On World Humanitarian Day, we do not only celebrate the work of humanitarians and remember the victims and survivors.
Today we also demand that all parties to conflicts end attacks on humanitarian workers and on all civilians.
We demand that those who order or commit violations of international law be held to account.
We demand support for institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, which exist to ensure accountability for states and individuals for the most egregious violations of international law.
Colleagues,
We of course have a particular reason to commemorate this day here in Baghdad. The memory and the wounds, some invisible, of the attack on the Canal Hotel are still raw. We lost 22 colleagues on that day in 2003, only five days after UNAMI was established by the Security Council. The then Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Sérgio Vieira de Mello, was among those who lost their lives. More than 100 others were injured or impacted in other ways.
I am honoured that some of the survivors of the Canal Hotel bombing are with us today, still serving with the UN, working for their country. Please join me in paying a special tribute to them.
I also wish to extend our deepest sympathy to all those who have lost colleagues, family members and friends. A special thought goes to the families of those who lost their lives at the Canal Hotel and who cannot be here with us today.
We know that the attack of 19 August 2003 was followed by an increasing violent campaign by various terrorist groups which wreaked death and destruction across the country for years on end. Yesterday, at the Foreign Ministry, I participated in an event to mark the Yazidi genocide at the hands of Da’esh, and I paid tribute to the Yazidi and other victims and survivors of terrorism, including those killed at the Canal Hotel and in the attack on the building of the Foreign Ministry in 2009, also on 19 August.
Colleagues,
Today we salute the courage of humanitarian workers. We celebrate their dedication to serve all people in need: no matter who, no matter where, no matter what.
We also recommit ourselves to confronting terrorism, and indeed all ideologies preaching the supremacy of one group over others and fuelling intolerance and violence, whether in this region or elsewhere in the world.
The best way to honour our humanitarian colleagues who were killed at the Canal Hotel, and since, is to keep on promoting the values of humanity, justice and peace. UNAMI is on the exit path, but we will not forget their memory and their commitment to Iraq, and to a better world everywhere. This is their legacy, and our continuing inspiration.
And now, before giving the floor to our colleague Hazem Abdulbaqi who will speak on behalf of the Canal Hotel survivors, I would like to express our appreciation to them in Arabic.
Once again on this anniversary, I salute you for your courage. I wish to express our deep gratitude for your continuing contribution to the work of the UN in Iraq, and for your commitment to your country. We take pride in you just as you take pride in your work. I thank you on behalf of us all.

Acts of terrorism propagating a wide-range of hateful ideologies continue to injure, harm and kill thousands of innocent people each year.
Despite international condemnation of terrorism, victims and survivors of terrorism often struggle to have their voices heard, their needs supported, and their rights upheld. Victims often feel forgotten and neglected once the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack fades, with profound consequences for them. Few Member States have the resources or the capacity to fulfil the medium and long-term needs of victims of terrorism to enable them to fully recover, rehabilitate and re-integrate into society. Most victims can only recover and cope with their trauma through long-term multi-dimensional support, including physical, psychological, social and financial.
Member States have the primary responsibility to support victims of terrorism and uphold their rights. The United Nations has an important role in supporting Member States to implement the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by standing in solidarity and providing support to victims of terrorism; offering capacity building assistance; establishing networks; and offering support to civil society organizations, particularly victims' associations; and encouraging Member States to promote, protect and respect the rights of victims of terrorism. The United Nations provides technical assistance and capacity-building to Member States and victims' associations in better addressing the needs of victims of terrorism.

Brazilian Blowout Day - Through the use of innovative and breakthrough bonding technologies, the Brazilian Blowout treatment improves the health and condition of the hair. It creates a protective protein layer around the hair shaft. As a result, it eliminates frizz and smooths the cuticle.
International Day Of Remembrance And Tribute To The Victims Of Terrorism - Victims of terrorism often feel neglected and forgotten when the aftermath of a terrorist attack fades. These victims struggle for their voices to be heard and their rights to be upheld. Many of them need financial, physical, and psychological help. Some of them lose loved ones. These terrorist attack victims frequently do not have the resources to recover fully.
International Geocaching Day - During a geocaching event, participants use GPS coordinates to locate a geocache at a specific location. The geocache is a hidden container that’s usually waterproof. Inside, hunters find a logbook and pencil along with an assortment of items. Those who find the geocache sign the logbook and then put it back exactly where they found it. That way, the geocache will be found by the next person. If someone takes an item from the geocache, courtesy requires they replace it with something of equal or greater value.
International Homeless Animals’ Day - Focuses on the pet overpopulation problem and how to help solve it. Sadly, over 70 million homeless animals fill shelters in the United States. Unfortunately, the epidemic expands beyond our borders. Many countries around the globe face extreme homelessness among domesticated animals. In Europe, approximately 100 million abandoned and homeless animals roam the streets. Most of these homeless animals are dogs and cats. On a global scale, 600 million dogs seek homes or wander the streets.

According to the 2017 census, 47 million seniors live in the United States. By 2060, that number will nearly double. Their wealth of knowledge, skill, and experience offer so much to the next generation. As technologies ad
Spumoni Day - Celebrates a delicious frozen treat which hails from southern Italy. Traditionally, three molded layers of flavored gelato create a unique dessert. The creamy creation often includes candied fruits and nuts in two layers and with a third chocolate layer.
World Honey Bee Day - The day recognizes both the honey bee and the beekeepers who tend the hives. It also encourages everyone to enjoy and buy locally grown honey. Another important part of the day includes learning about honey bees and providing them with a supportive environment. When we plant wildflowers, orchards, and other flowering plants, we support pollinators such as honey bees. They depend on the nectar of a variety of plants for their survival. Conversely, we depend on honeybees for our survival, too! Without their pollinating abilities, many nutritious plants wouldn’t reproduce.
