KOH-fee, like Kofi Annan, obviously. The hyphen is silent.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan recommended on Monday that the Security Council double the amount of oil Iraq it's allowed to sell under the so-called 'oil-for-food' programme.

In a report to the 15-member council, Kofi Annan proposed Iraq be permitted to sell 5.2 billion (b) dollars of oil every six months. The current six-month ceiling is 2.14 billion (b) dollars.

Aujourd'hui, c'est la journée internationale contre la violence à l'égard des femmes. Inutile de répéter le concept qu'il ne faut pas attendre la journée internationale pour lutter contre ce "sale et ignoble" abus.

La violence à l'encontre des femmes est l'une des violations les plus honteuses des droits de l'homme.

(Kofi Annan)

Kalayaan sa Pagpapahayag🤍

Ang kalayaan sa pagpapahayag ay isa sa pinakamahalagang karapatan ng tao, nakapaloob sa maraming konstitusyon at pandaigdigang deklarasyon. Binibigyan nito ng lakas ang mga tao na ipahayag ang kanilang opinyon, salungatin ang mga ideya, at ibahagi ang kanilang mga paniniwala nang walang takot sa sensura. Subalit, tulad ng ibang kalayaan, ito ay may kaakibat na mga responsibilidad at panganib.

Ang kalayaan sa pagpapahayag ay nagbigay sa akin ng lakas ng loob na ibahagi ang aking mga opinyon nang walang takot sa panghuhusga. Dahil dito, naging mas madali para sa akin na makipag-usap at makipagpalitan ng ideya sa iba’t ibang tao, na nagbukas ng maraming oportunidad para sa personal na pag-unlad. Sa pamamagitan nito, natutunan ko rin ang kahalagahan ng paggalang sa iba’t ibang pananaw, na nagpapalalim sa aking pag-unawa sa mundo. Ang kalayaan sa pagpapahayag ay minsang nagdulot sa akin ng hindi sinasadyang pag-offend sa iba kapag hindi ko napag-isipan ang aking mga salita. Nagkaroon din ito ng mga hindi pagkakaintindihan sa mga relasyon ko dahil sa mga pagkakaiba sa opinyon at paniniwala.

Sa kabila ng mga panganib at mga hindi inaasahang epekto ng kalayaan sa pagpapahayag, mahalaga pa rin itong karapatan na nagbubukas ng pagkakataon para sa malayang palitan ng ideya at pananaw. Kinakailangan lamang natin ng masusing pag-iisip at paggalang sa isa't isa upang maiwasan ang hindi pagkakaunawaan at pag-offend. Ang tamang balanseng paggamit ng kalayaan sa pagpapahayag ay mahalaga upang magpatuloy ang malusog na komunikasyon at pagkakaintindihan sa ating lipunan.

"Freedom of expression is the foundation of human rights, the source of humanity's progress, and the light of truth." – Kofi Annan

20 novembre Giornata Internazionale

dei diritti dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza.

Non c'è responsabilità più sacra

di quella che il mondo ha verso i bambini.

Non c'è dovere più importante di garantire

che siano rispettati i loro diritti,

che il loro benessere sia tutelato,

che le loro vite siano libere

dalla paura e dal bisogno

e che essi possano crescere nella pace.

You know how I don’t like or trust Jeffrey Sachs, who supported giving the WHO more power over its member nations. From Wikipedia:

Sachs is Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.[8] He is an SDG Advocate for United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 global goals adopted at a UN summit meeting in September 2015.[9] From 2001 to 2018, Sachs was Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General, and held the same position under the previous UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and prior to 2016 a similar advisory position related to the earlier Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),[10] eight internationally sanctioned objectives to reduce extreme poverty, hunger and disease by 2015. In connection with the MDGs, he had first been appointed special adviser to the UN Secretary-General in 2002 during the term of Kofi Annan.[10][11] Sachs is co-founder and chief strategist of Millennium Promise Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending extreme poverty and hunger. From 2002 to 2006, he was director of the United Nations Millennium Project's work on the MDGs.

His actual history of impoverishing the poor in Russia (the “Rape of Russia”), Poland and other nations as he brought in privatization and structural adjustment policies in the early 1990s speaks for itself. (Death rates immediately rose precipitously in Russia as a result of Sachs’ policies.)

That said, Sachs was brilliant on a show with Judge Napolitano, where a clip of him speaking at Cambridge University was played, which is especially important because President Trump linked to the clip.

"Nobel" du développement durable : l'avocat Arash Derambarsh récompensé (RTL)

https://www.rtl.fr/actu/international/nobel-du-developpement-durable-l-avocat-arash-derambarsh-recompense-7799341671

VU DANS LA PRESSE - Arash Derambarsh, avocat au barreau de Paris à l'origine de la loi contre le gaspillage alimentaire en 2016, sera récompensé du prix Win Win, l'équivalent du Nobel pour le développement durable.

C'est un avocat français qui va décrocher le "Nobel" du développement durable. Le prestigieux "Win Win", lui sera, en effet, décerné, jeudi 31 octobre, par la ville suédoise de Göteborg. Inscrit au barreau de Paris, Arash Derambarsh va être récompensé pour "son travail constant et son engagement sans faille pour la cause alimentaire".

C'est la première fois qu'un Français va recevoir le prix, qui est l'équivalent du Nobel pour le développement durable, annonce Le Figaro. Des personnalités internationales de premier plan l'ont reçu par le passé : l'ancien secrétaire général des Nations unies, Kofi Annan en 2011, l'ancien vice-président des États-Unis Al-Gore en 2007 ou encore le maire de Séoul, Park Wan-soon, en 2016.

Arash Derambarsh, qui a prêté serment à la Cour d'appel de Paris en 2018, est à l'initiative de la loi votée en 2016 contre le gaspillage alimentaire, une réussite qui a inspiré d'autres pays dans le monde. L'avocat au barreau de Paris, élu à Courbevoie, est aussi à l'origine de deux pétitions majeures, l'une française avec plus de 200.000 signatures, l'autre, européenne avec plus de 1,6 million de soutiens. Il ambitionne aujourd'hui de transposer la loi à un niveau européen.

Cette loi permet de distribuer plus de 10 millions de repas chaque année aux associations et d'augmenter les dons alimentaires de 22 % en France.

L'avocat a été classé en 2016 parmi les 100 personnalités les plus influentes du monde dans le classement du magazine américain Foreign Policy. Il vient par ailleurs de faire son entrée dans le Who's Who, l'annuaire des personnalités françaises.

A Call To Secretary-General António Guterres @ United Nations

Dear Secretary-General Guterres:

Lay before the United Nations body in general a call to kick the Israelis out of the United Nations. The Israelis certainly refuse to abide by the United Nations Charter. The Israelis refuse to abide by the Geneva Convention in all its formal authority. The Israelis refuse to end their genocidal murder of Palestinians and now, Lebanese. The Israeli war on Gaza, and now Lebanon, is an affront to civilized people everywhere. The Israeli madness is now a year of sheer terror and horror inflicted on Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon. How are these cruel and inhuman monsters not held to account? The number of dead and/or wounded Palestinians is incalculable and now, we must begin the body counting in Lebanon. Is there not one morally courageous Nation that will step up for Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon? Please Mr. Secretary-General, something MUST be done to end this madness. I think former Secretary-General, the Honorable Kofi Annan, would have been bold enough to call this insanity to an end. Sorry, that was a cheap shot on my part. I really do hold you in high regard.

with all respect from an absolute nobody,

Don Nash
