The main news of the day at the UN and around the world: the general debate at the UN General Assembly, Israel's offensive on Gaza City, a historic declaration on non-communicable diseases and mental health, and a high-level meeting on youth.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza

Israel's offensive on Gaza City continues, and the situation in the southern part of the war-torn enclave has deteriorated so much that starving civilians are sleeping in the open, on the rubble of destroyed homes, UN humanitarian workers reported Thursday. Hospitals in the Gaza Strip are closing, and field kitchens are being forced to fold amid the massive military operation. Children are among the most vulnerable, warned UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher, speaking Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York.

General Debate of the UN General Assembly

The UN continues its High-Level Week, as well as the General Debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly. Several world leaders addressed the third day of debate, including President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud AbbasHe addressed the General Assembly delegates via video link, as the US had denied visas to Palestinian officials. In his speech, Abbas condemned Hamas' attacks on Israel and called on the entire international community to support Palestinian statehood. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak on Friday morning.

Youth meeting

Today, a high-level meeting was held at UN Headquarters on the sidelines of the General Assembly to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the World Programme of Action for Youth. Young activists spoke at the event, including Zakira Rasooli from Afghanistan, who shared her story of her dream of becoming a parliamentarian and how she was forced to flee the country after the Taliban came to power. General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock said the UN represents hope for young people like Zakira and emphasized the importance of their participation in society. Antonio Guterres called for young people to be equal partners in decision-making, especially in matters concerning their future.

Non-communicable diseases and mental health

On September 25, the Fourth High-Level Meeting on prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and promotion of mental healthFor the first time, the topic of mental health is not only being discussed in preparation for the event, but is also included in the meeting's title. Non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases, cancer, diabetes, and mental disorders, remain the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. They are closely interrelated: for many people, physical and mental health conditions overlap and require a comprehensive approach.

September 25, 2025 UN

"I was 18, and I had a dream: to run for parliament at 25. In the stairwell of my student dorm, there was a narrow window overlooking the parliament building. I would often go there and stand, looking at it, rehearsing my speech and imagining myself there someday." This is how Zakira Rasouli from Afghanistan began her speech at the UN High-Level Meeting on Youth.

Three years later, in August 2021, the day the Taliban came to power, Zakira received a message from a friend: "They're combing through every house. Destroy all documents."

"That day, I gathered up and destroyed every fragment of my dreams, every accomplishment I had. I tore up documents and certificates, erased my traces from the internet. I watched all my successes, everything I had been and dreamed of becoming, disappear," Zakira says.

She wasn't alone. That day, millions of young people in Afghanistan – community leaders, organization leaders, activists – watched as their present and future were destroyed.

The high-level meeting on the sidelines of the High-Level Week of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly is timed to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the adoption World Programme of Action for YouthIt identified priority areas of action for governments, civil society, and the private sector: education, employment, health care, combating drug abuse and crime, organizing leisure activities, and ensuring the full participation of young people in society.

General Assembly Speaker Annalena Baerbock spoke about her meeting with Zakira. Zakira, now 25, will not be running for parliament in Afghanistan.

“When she [Zakira] was asked what the UN is, she didn’t give a 30-minute speech in response, it was one word: hope,” Baerbock shared.

"She knows from experience what true hope is. As a girl living in a village in Kandahar, she started going to school to make her country a better place. But then, when the Taliban returned to power, she saw everything she had worked for destroyed in just a few days," the General Assembly President continued.

Zakira was able to leave Afghanistan, but she had to interrupt her education, leave behind her family, friends, and all hopes for the future.

Hope is not just a word, but a promise

"Hope isn't just a word, it's a promise to girls and young people like Zakira, in their darkest moments, that we work every day to give them hope. That's why many young people around the world see the UN's blue flag as precisely that—a promise to ensure a better future, a freer future, a future that still matters," Baerbock said.

Today's generation of youth is the largest in history, Guy Ryder, UN Deputy Secretary-General, reminded the audience. He read out a message from the UN chief. Young people play a vital role in combating climate change, implementing digital innovation, developing local solutions, and protecting human rights.

“However, too often they are excluded from the decisions that shape their lives and face barriers to education, decent work, health care and political participation,” Ryder said.

“Let us make every effort to make young people equal partners and equal participants in the decision-making process,” he urged.

This week, Zakira Rasouli rehearsed her speech in front of a much larger window than her dorm room, overlooking the UN General Assembly building. She was able to attend the high-level meeting thanks to the support of the UN Youth Bureau.

Zakira emphasized that young people are not always able to participate in decision-making, even those that directly affect them.

"Despite this, we have proven that young people can spark revolutions, sustain entire movements, and advance ideals of peace when others give up. We put everything on the line and keep moving forward. But we can't do this alone. And neither can you. The world can't afford to leave us behind. We're not asking for permission. We're offering partnership," the girl said.

LB: This is the first time the topic of mental health has been included in the title of the High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases. What steps is Kyrgyzstan taking to strengthen its mental health support system?

EC: Yes, indeed, this year, for the first time, the topic of mental health was included in the agenda of a UN high-level meeting. This indicates that the problem is growing globally, and mental health is becoming a priority.

According to the latest data, approximately 11 percent of the population in Kyrgyzstan suffers from some form of mental disorder, ranging from anxiety, depression, and suicidal tendencies, not to mention addictions such as alcohol, tobacco, and psychoactive substance dependence. Therefore, for the first time in many years, Kyrgyzstan is developing a national strategy specifically on mental health. Historically, in Kyrgyzstan, as in many post-Soviet countries, this issue has been stigmatized.

Seeking help from a psychiatric clinic was once considered an outlier. But now, by integrating these services into primary care, we're trying to bring them as close to the population as possible. We're implementing multidisciplinary teams that include a family physician, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a community nurse.

We're expanding the role of nurses, including psychologists and psychiatrists at the district level, and thus aiming to identify mental health issues early. This brings services closer to the population while reducing stigma. People don't need to go to a psychiatric clinic; they can simply see a regular doctor with a psychologist, and a visiting nurse can identify symptoms early.

We believe it's crucial to bring these services closer to the population. In general, developing primary health care is a priority in the country. This year, hospital construction began in Kyrgyzstan, with more than 30 new clinics and buildings undergoing renovation.

We plan to build a huge multifunctional, multidisciplinary clinic—a medical city—in the capital, with approximately 5,000 beds. Along with strengthening inpatient care, our priority, of course, is primary care, at a family medicine center, and strengthening the role of primary care in the regions.

Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country, with more than 60 percent of the population living in the regions, rural areas, and highlands.

LB: I just wanted to ask how the needs of vulnerable groups – rural populations, women, youth – are taken into account?

EC: Yes, just recently, with the help of our international partners, UNICEF, we conducted a study where we identified vulnerable groups of the population, these are adolescents, women, young women, especially during, before and after pregnancy.

This is the target group we should be focusing our attention on. What's being done? Kyrgyzstan is the only country in the post-Soviet space that has implemented the principle of community engagement. That is, so-called village health committees, made up of active women, have been created at the village level. They are involved in all aspects of preventing non-communicable diseases, including communicable ones. And through these health committees, we educate the population at the regional level.

A draft historic Declaration on Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health: What world leaders are discussing in New York

As for adolescents, we work closely with the Ministry of Education, introducing programs in schools. For example, early stroke detection. We teach children how to identify strokes in their parents and the first symptoms of stroke.

Of course, we teach children about risk factors, for example, we talk about the dangers of tobacco use and promote a healthy lifestyle.

For women, we adapted an international program for the first time. This is a mobile app for pregnant women, which has been translated into English.

This not only provides advice on early consultation, registration, and antenatal clinics, but also nutritional monitoring and early signs of illness. At the same time, this app allows for monitoring a pregnant woman's mental state, promptly identifying anxiety, neuroses, and more.

We strive to implement digitalization in all areas, including mental health.

LB: How are all these efforts financed? WHO data shows that investments in infectious disease prevention and mental health treatment generally pay off. What funding mechanisms is Kyrgyzstan considering?

EC: Just the day before yesterday, we participated in an extended meeting at the Luxembourg Embassy. I discussed investments in prevention with the health ministers of Luxembourg and Bulgaria.

Yes, indeed, according to many studies, investing in prevention yields a 7-10-fold reinvestment. For every dollar invested, there's a 7-10-dollar return in the form of preserved health of the working-age population, tax revenue, and so on.

But the problem is that we need clearer tools and research to talk to our partners, our colleagues in the government—the ministers of economy and finance—to justify those fiscal measures. They're well-known, they've been proven.

This includes increased taxes on tobacco, alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fats. We're aware of this, and we're explaining to our colleagues, the economy ministers, how such interventions will yield two benefits. First, they mean improved health outcomes.

Secondly, additional budget revenues in the form of taxes and excise duties. Secondly, the redirection of the state budget towards prevention. For the first time this year – through 2026 – we have allocated a 100 percent increase in state budget funding for public health.

Historically, public healthcare has been financed on a residual basis, with 97 percent of the healthcare budget going toward treatment, hospitals, and medications, and 3 percent toward prevention. And those 3 percent haven't increased in any way. And so, for the first time this year, we held talks with the Minister of Finance and justified the importance of prevention.

The President of Kyrgyzstan places special emphasis on increasing life expectancy and quality of life. A clear goal has been set to increase the average life expectancy of Kyrgyz citizens. The President himself is an active advocate of a healthy lifestyle. Sports facilities, football fields, and bike paths are being built throughout the country. Twice a year, we hold a football championship among ministries. And the Ministry of Health was the champion this year. Political support from the leadership, of course, has a significant impact.

I think the budget allocated for prevention will gradually increase, because we all understand that millions and billions can be spent on treatment. But that will never be enough. Increasing the budget for prevention will bring tangible results very quickly.

You know, this year we identified 37 short-term interventions that can produce rapid results. These include economic measures, environmental changes, educational measures, and, of course, legislative changes. All of these measures will yield rapid results. Within three to five years, we can implement these WHO-approved interventions, which will be effective.

LB: What do you expect from the High-Level Meeting?

EC: The very fact that the topic of mental and psychological health was raised at such a high level already makes it a priority. This year, in Kyrgyzstan—even before this meeting—we raised mental health issues.

Psychiatric clinics are in need of renovation. More beds are needed. The number of patients with such problems is growing annually and will continue to do so. WHO forecasts indicate that the incidence of mental disorders will only increase.

In our hectic world today, when people have to make approximately 300-400 decisions a day, this leads to disorders such as anxiety, depression, and burnout. Therefore, we are developing a national strategy for 2030 to develop mental health services to reduce stigma. We are working closely with international partners.

We are adapting all UN recommendations. Multidisciplinary teams are being implemented. Therefore, the expectation is that since the issue of mental health has been raised at the UN General Assembly level, all countries, not just Kyrgyzstan but also the countries of Central Asia, will work closely on it. We are working closely with our neighbors within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Just recently, there was a forum within the EAEU where the topic of migrants' health was raised. You know, about half a million Kyrgyz citizens temporarily travel to neighboring countries, including Russia. Their health, within the EAEU, is a common problem we are working to address together.

Therefore, I hope this issue will be raised within both the EAEU and the SCO. Next year, Kyrgyzstan will welcome our partners both within the SCO and within the Organization of Turkic States. And we will certainly include this topic on the agenda.

September 25, 2025 Human rights

Since the founding of the United Nations eight decades ago – following a catastrophic world war that claimed the lives of millions – the world has made remarkable progress in achieving freedom, equality, and justice. However, for those living in conflict zones today – from the Middle East to Africa, from Europe to Asia – this is small consolation. We see states attacking others, taking the lives of civilians, and all of this occurs, apparently, in a climate of impunity.

So are we truly living in an era of impunity and witnessing a rollback in human rights? Conor Lennon of the UN News Service posed these and other questions to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, who arrived at UN Headquarters in New York to participate in the High-Level Week events.

KL: So, are we seeing a backsliding in human rights protection? One of the UN's primary roles is to expose and publicize human rights violations, which we hear about almost daily. But my question to you is: beyond these revelations, what tangible measures can we take?

FT: To your question about rollbacks, I'll say that history is never linear. Each generation must re-defend and strengthen the human rights system on which the UN is founded. This is crucial. Every day, by monitoring, documenting, and reporting human rights violations around the world, we become the voice of those who suffer these violations. This is my personal, daily experience. When I visit countries like Syria, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, – I see that people have high hopes for the UN system, for the human rights system. They hope that we can respond to their aspirations. Yes, we cannot fulfill all their expectations, but we can voice them on the international stage and raise issues of impunity and accountability. Duterte, the former president of the Philippines—who would have thought he would end up in The Hague? And now he is. So we must build on what we have managed to achieve, even in these extremely difficult times.

KL: Let's talk about giving people a voice. Isn't that important?

FT: Yes, this is significant. Let me give you an example: in Sri Lanka, I visited one of the mass grave sites in the north, in Chemmani. Hundreds of people who had lost relatives were waiting for me there and wanted to know what had happened to them. This suggests that they hoped that the High Commissioner would at least voice their calls for accountability and justice during his meetings with the government. This was a tangible manifestation not only of their hopes but also of their aspirations.

KL: Let's turn to the Human Rights Council. You usually work in Geneva, specifically at this Council. Critics claim that the Council is made up of representatives of countries that violate human rights. Isn't that a contradiction?

FC: We could talk at length about the need to reform the Human Rights Council, and such discussions are truly endless. I hope that member states will recognize the importance of taking a more careful approach to who they elect to the Council. But at the same time, no state is perfect. Even those who claim to fully respect human rights have their own gray areas, and this should also be acknowledged.

No state is perfect. Even those that claim to fully respect human rights have their own gray areas…

Ultimately, however, the Human Rights Council is a vital body that allows us to focus attention on crises around the world, on topics such as human rights, artificial intelligence, and climate change, as well as on numerous country situations where an international response is needed. It is a platform for raising concerns and advocating for solutions.

The Council has established eleven fact-finding mechanisms and commissions of inquiry into various situations—from Venezuela to the occupied Palestinian territories, from Nicaragua to Ukraine, Sudan, and other countries. It thus provides mechanisms for ensuring accountability for events on the ground.

KL: Let's look at it from a historical perspective. Over these eight decades, are we generally moving forward or backward in ensuring human rights for all? Let's look at it from a historical perspective.

FT: We are living in very difficult times, largely due to the financial crisis. But I am deeply inspired by my encounters with young people and human rights defenders around the world. They face challenging circumstances, as they currently lack funding. And yet, their spirit, energy, desire for a better world, and willingness to defend the rights of those subject to violations remain unwavering. This is what gives me hope.

We [the UN] are the moral and legal foundation that unites humanity and brings out the best in it – human dignity, rights and justice.

KL: You also mentioned the problem of distraction. I assume you're referring to the multitude of factors that distract us from the main focus? What does that actually mean, and how does it impact the situation?

FT: If we look at contemporary politics, we often see no real discussion of the serious problems facing the world. Even some speeches at the General Assembly are replete with distracting tactics: climate change denial or dehumanization through negative language about migrants and refugees. What we need is genuine proposals from the leaders of this Organization. After all, the UN is, first and foremost, its member states, and we have every right to expect solutions to the key challenges of our time. We don't need sermons; we need real action to address real problems.

KL: And finally, a difficult question for you: what, in your opinion, is the greatest achievement of the United Nations?

FC: We [the UN] are the moral and legal foundation that unites humanity, bringing out the best in it – human dignity, rights and justice.

September 25, 2025 UN

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the UN General Assembly via video link on Thursday, saying his people are experiencing "genocide, destruction, famine and displacement" as a result of the Israeli military's war in Gaza.

He noted that over the course of nearly two years of fighting, more than 220,000 Palestinians, most of them women, children, and the elderly, have been killed or wounded, while two million have been pushed to the brink of starvation due to the blockade. He added that more than 80 percent of homes, schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, and infrastructure in Gaza have been destroyed.

"What Israel is doing is not just aggression, it is a war crime and a crime against humanity," Abbas said, calling it "one of the most horrific chapters of the humanitarian tragedy of the 20th and 21st centuries."

He also highlighted the rise in settler violence and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank as part of the "Greater Israel" strategy, which, he said, threatens to "divide the West Bank," "isolate occupied Jerusalem," and "undermine the two-state solution." Religious sites in Jerusalem, Hebron, and Gaza have also suffered destruction, citing attacks on mosques, churches, and cemeteries.

Condemnation of the events of October 7

Abbas condemned the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians, stressing that these actions "do not represent the Palestinian people and their just struggle for freedom and independence."

He stated that Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and the Palestinian Authority is ready to assume full responsibility for its governance and security based on the principle of "one state, one law and one legitimate security force."

"We do not seek a militaristic state," he told world leaders, describing his vision of a "modern and democratic" Palestine based on the rule of law, a peaceful transfer of power, respect for human rights, and the empowerment of youth and women.

An appeal to the international community

Addressing the international community, President Abbas expressed regret that more than a thousand UN resolutions on Palestine remain unimplemented, despite the fact that the Palestinian leadership has supported peace agreements and recognized Israel since the 1993 agreements.

He accused Israel of "systematically" undermining those agreements, noting that the Palestinians had fulfilled their obligations, including renouncing violence and reforming national institutions.

Abbas welcomed the results of the meeting held in New York this week high-level conferences, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia. He expressed gratitude to the growing number of countries recognizing Palestine and called on others to follow their example and support Palestine's full membership in the UN.

He stressed Palestine's readiness to cooperate with the United States, Saudi Arabia, France, the United Nations and all partners in implementing the peace plan adopted this week, adding that "peace cannot be achieved without justice, and there will be no justice without the liberation of Palestine."

Palestinians, he said, will never give up their homeland and their rights.

"No matter how long the suffering, it will not break our will to live and survive," Abbas declared. "The dawn of freedom will rise, and the Palestinian flag will soar in our skies as a symbol of dignity and resilience."

September 25, 2025 UN

At the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev declared that his country had entered a "new era of peace and development" by ending a long-standing conflict with Armenia and signing a joint declaration with that country.

"We won both the war and the peace. We ended the occupation and began reconstruction. Justice prevailed, sovereignty was strengthened, and de facto peace was achieved," the head of state emphasized.

Peace process and regional integration

According to Aliyev, nearly 30 years of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territory resulted in the expulsion of a million Azerbaijanis and the destruction of hundreds of towns and villages. In 2020, the country restored its territorial integrity during a 44-day war.

The President recalled that peace negotiations, which began in 2022, were crowned with success in the summer of 2025: on August 8, at the White House, the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia initialed the text of the peace treaty, and Aliyev and the Armenian prime minister signed a joint declaration with the participation of US President Donald Trump.

He also noted that the OSCE Minsk Group had ceased to exist as an "obsolete mechanism" and highlighted the importance of a new transport corridor called the "Trump Path for International Peace and Prosperity" (the road is expected to pass through Armenia and connect Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic – editor's note).

Partnership with the United States and territorial restoration

The President of Azerbaijan emphasized that the strategic partnership with Washington opens new horizons for his country in politics, economics, energy, and security. He called the US administration's decision to lift sanctions imposed under Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act historic.

Aliyev also spoke about the large-scale reconstruction of liberated lands, where "more than 50,000 people already live, work, and study as part of the Great Return program." He also pointed out the serious problem of mine hazards: since 2020, over 400 people have been killed or injured by explosions.

Global challenges and climate

Turning to international issues, Aliyev noted the deteriorating environmental situation in the Caspian Sea and called on the Caspian states to join forces, emphasizing their readiness to cooperate with the UN.

He recalled that Azerbaijan hosted the COP29 Climate Conference in 2024, where the Baku Financing Targets were adopted – a new commitment by developed countries to allocate at least $300 billion annually for the climate needs of developing countries until 2035.

Energy and transport corridors

Aliyev emphasized Azerbaijan's role as a reliable partner in the energy sector: "We supply gas to 14 countries—a world record for the number of countries receiving gas via pipelines." At the same time, the country is developing renewable energy sources, planning to obtain 40 percent of its electricity from them by 2030.

He noted an increase in cargo transportation by almost 90 percent through the Middle Corridor and recalled the Digital Silk Road project, which will turn Azerbaijan into a regional digital hub.

Concluding his speech, Aliyev called for “building a world without double standards, where the rule of law is always respected, and peace is achieved not only in words, but also in deeds.”

September 25, 2025 UN

Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili addressed the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, emphasizing that his country, with its three-thousand-year history and unique culture, remains committed to peace, dialogue, and sustainable development. "Georgia's history is a chronicle of the struggle for survival, but we have always maintained humanism, tolerance, and justice," he said.

Support for Ukraine and Georgia's role in the region

Kavelashvili recalled the tragic consequences of the 2008 war and stated that the Georgian people "understand better than many the pain Ukraine is experiencing today." He reaffirmed his "firm and unwavering support for the Ukrainian people."

The President also noted his country's efforts to transform the South Caucasus from a conflict zone into an area of dialogue and cooperation. He welcomed initiatives to normalize relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as "efforts to quickly end the war between Russia and Ukraine."

Transit corridor and energy security

The Georgian leader paid special attention to his country's role as a "natural bridge between Europe and Asia." He announced large-scale projects within the Middle Corridor: railway modernization, the construction of a deep-water port in Anaklia, a new international airport in Tbilisi, and a submarine cable across the Black Sea. According to him, these projects "provide access to the sea for the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus and strengthen Europe's energy security."

Kavelashvili emphasized that Georgia is ready for constructive relations "with the largest economies – the United States, China, the European Union, and others," but will demand respect and "will never accept the language of ultimatums and threats."

Appeal to Abkhazia and South Ossetia

The president devoted a separate section of his speech to addressing his "Abkhazian and Ossetian brothers and sisters." He stated, "Our cultural code has not changed. For us, diversity is not a problem, but a formula for existence. We will always welcome our compatriots on the other side of the occupation line with an open heart and an outstretched hand." Kavelashvili expressed confidence that one day Georgians will live in a "united, happy, and developed country."

A Call for Reform of the Global Order

The President emphasized that the world is experiencing a "transitional moment when the future of the international order remains uncertain." He called on the UN to become "an inevitable alternative to war and the main guarantor of peace" and assured that Georgia is ready to engage in dialogue on global and regional security issues.
