Paris, September 26 (Xinhua) — Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison, suspended. He was found guilty of conspiracy in the Libyan-funded 2007 presidential campaign, BFM TV reported.

The court also fined the politician €100,000 and banned him from holding public office or running for election for five years.

N. Sarkozy reiterated his innocence and promised to appeal the verdict. Two of his closest associates, former Secretary General of the Élysée Palace Claude Guéant and former minister Brice Hortefeux, were sentenced to six and two years in prison, respectively.

According to French media, the court found N. Sarkozy guilty of criminal conspiracy, but acquitted him of charges of corruption and illegal campaign financing.

The case's roots go back to 2012, when investigative website Mediapart published a document alleging that the regime of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi agreed to help finance Nicolas Sarkozy's presidential campaign in 2007. A year later, French prosecutors launched a formal investigation.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday called for global action to reduce deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and promote mental health and well-being.

As stated in the Secretary-General's speech, delivered at the High-Level Meeting on NCDs by his Deputy, Amina Mohamed, the world is behind schedule in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing premature mortality from NCDs by a third by 2030.

According to A. Guterres, the costs are enormous – human suffering and reduced life expectancy, as well as reduced productivity, overburdened health systems and deepening inequality.

Every two seconds, someone under 70 dies from a non-communicable disease. Last year alone, NCDs, the leading cause of death globally, claimed the lives of more than 43 million people of all ages. Mental disorders affect more than 1 billion people worldwide, and suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among young people. The UN Secretary-General noted that approximately 2.8 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.

"These figures are more than just statistics. They reflect reduced life expectancy, loss of livelihoods, and stunted community development. They remind us that NCDs and mental disorders are among the most serious public health and development challenges of our time," he said.

A. Guterres called on countries to strengthen primary health care as the foundation of universal health coverage; to address the social, economic, and environmental determinants, as well as the market forces that shape people's lives; to strengthen mental health and psychosocial care in humanitarian settings; to ensure sustainable financing; to place people living with NCDs and mental health conditions at the center of these efforts; and to deliver on their promises.

"Let's commit to prevention, equity, and accelerated action. Together, we can transform lives, secure livelihoods, and deliver on our promise of health and well-being for all," said Guterres.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday accused Israel of waging a "genocidal war" in the Gaza Strip, saying the crimes would be written "in the pages of the international conscience as one of the most horrific chapters of the humanitarian tragedy of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries."

“I address you today after nearly two years in which our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip have faced a genocidal war, destruction, famine and displacement,” he said, addressing the UN General Assembly via video link.

M. Abbas emphasized that “Israeli occupation forces committed” genocide, during which they killed and wounded more than 220,000 Palestinians, mostly unarmed children, women, and the elderly.

The president also condemned the Israeli government's expansion of settlements in the West Bank, warning that it threatened the realization of the "two-state solution" for two peoples.

At the same time, the president also rejected “what Hamas did on October 7,” noting that such actions do not represent the Palestinian people or “their just struggle for freedom and independence.”

He emphasized that the Gaza Strip "is an integral part of the State of Palestine," and the Palestinian National Authority "is prepared to bear full responsibility for governance and security there." "Hamas will have no role in governance," Abbas added.
