November 5, 2025 UN
The main news of the day at the UN and around the world: the Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha, a Security Council meeting on the situation in Abyei, the anniversary of the collapse of a canopy at a railway station in Serbia, and World Tsunami Awareness Day.
Doha Social Summit
At the World Economic Forum in Doha, Qatar, António Guterres echoed this message, calling education "the best tool for fighting poverty." He warned of growing inequality, chronic underfunding, and a global shortage of qualified teachers.
The situation in Abyei
UN Assistant Secretary-General for Africa Martha Pobi, along with the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, Guang Cong, briefed the Security Council on the current situation in Abyei, a region disputed by Sudan and South Sudan. Pobi recommended the immediate deployment of Security Council-authorized police units to Abyei and urged Sudan and South Sudan to provide their full support. Guang Cong stated that bilateral engagement between Sudan and South Sudan on Abyei's final status remains limited. He continues to engage with the governments of both countries to improve bilateral relations and will fully support the African Union in its efforts to resolve Abyei's final status.
Anniversary of the tragedy in Novi Sad
A year after the collapse of a railway station canopy in Serbia, which killed 16 people and sparked a wave of protests, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called for renewed efforts to bring those responsible to justice. He emphasized that restoring public trust in state institutions and upholding the rule of law are crucial. Over the past year, Serbians have protested across the country, demanding accountability for those responsible for the Novi Sad tragedy, a stronger fight against corruption, and the release of those arbitrarily detained during peaceful protests. The authorities reject these demands, accusing the protesters of inciting violence and blaming "external interference."
World Tsunami Awareness Day
November 5th is World Tsunami Awareness Day. The 2025 theme is to highlight the need to build resilient communities through the global Tsunami Preparedness program. This year's campaign promotes preventative action and unites governments, scientists, local leaders, and the public to reduce tsunami risk. The campaign also calls for investing in community resilience and shared responsibility for coastal safety.
