Russia-Ukraine conflict is world's first commercial space war, starting point of future Star Wars

By N. C. Bipindra The employment of space assets for military purposes has recently seen an uptick. The Russia–Ukraine war is the most significant space-related development since 2022, given the wide-ranging use of space-based assets by both the warring sides. A Space Threat Assessment by an American think-tank has also concluded that there has been an unparalleled level of transparency on the…

UNESCO found that Latin America and the Caribbean were the deadliest for journalists in 2022 with 44 killings, over half of all of those killed worldwide. Worldwide, the deadliest individual countries were Mexico, with 19 killings, Ukraine with 10 and Haiti with nine. Asia and the Pacific registered 16 killings, while 11 were killed in Eastern Europe. While the number of journalists killed in countries in conflict rose to 23 in 2022, compared with 20 the previous year, the global increase was primarily driven by killings in non-conflict countries. This number almost doubled from 35 cases in 2021 to 61 in 2022, representing three-quarters of all killings last year. Some of the reasons why the journalists were killed were due to reprisals for their reporting on organized crime, armed conflict or the rise of extremism. Others were killed for covering sensitive topics such as corruption, environmental crime, abuse of power and protests.

Adopt the International rules and standards for policing.

The overall objective is to promote respect for the law that protects people in such circumstances.

The United Nations was created in 1945 in order to promote and maintain peace and security. Its founding instrument is the Charter of the United Nations (UN Charter). This document contains an important commitment to human rights in Article 55. Three major instruments that codified human rights at the universal level together form what is often referred to today as the International Bill of Human Rights:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1948;

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which was adopted in 1966, and its Optional Protocol of 2008;

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which was adopted in 1966, and its two Optional Protocols.

The UDHR had a major impact on subsequent universal and regional human rights treaties as well as on national constitutions and other laws. As a consequence, there are a number of provisions that can today be considered customary law, e.g. the prohibition of torture and other forms of ill-treatment, the prohibition of racial discrimination and the prohibition of slavery. Following the International Bill of Human Rights, a number of treaties were drafted that dealt with specific topics. They include the following:

International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD);

Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and its Optional Protocol;

Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) and its Optional Protocol (OPCAT);

Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and its Optional Protocols on the involvement of children in Charter of the United Nations, Article 55 “The United Nations shall promote […] universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.”

International law on armed conflict and on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.

International human rights treaties that are binding on all States Parties (and their agents) are increasingly complemented by soft law documents that provide guidance and establish more detailed human rights standards. In addition to the two soft law documents already mentioned (CCLEO and BPUFF), the following soft law documents, are of particular relevance to law enforcement officials:

Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (SMR);

Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment;

Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power (Victims Declaration)

Say no to war.

“As a man of faith, I believe that peace is God’s dream for humanity. Yet sadly I note that because of war, this wonderful dream is becoming changed into a nightmare,” Guteress said.

"The time has come to say an emphatic ‘no’ to war, to state that wars are not just, but only peace is just: a stable and lasting peace, built not on the precarious balance of deterrence, but on the fraternity that unites us.”

Why we need disarmament in the 21st century?

Disarmament and arms control play a critical role in preventing and ending crisis and armed conflict. Disarmament can also reduce an immense financial burden on societies. Did you know that the cost of one stealth fighter is enough to put 200,000 children through a year of school?
