January 26, 2026 Refugees and migrants

Attacks on United Nations facilities in the occupied Palestinian territory have reached an "unprecedented" level, said Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), commenting on the arson attack on the agency's headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem on social media.

According to Lazzarini, the UNRWA building was "broken and destroyed" by Israeli authorities and then set on fire. He called this another attempt to "downgrade the status of Palestinian refugees and erase their history."

The head of UNRWA stressed that the issue of refugee status must be resolved through a “genuine political process, not criminal actions.”

UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, was established by the UN General Assembly in 1949. Its mandate is to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees until a just and lasting solution is achieved.

The agency operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as the Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. More than 75 years after the events of 1948, tens of thousands of Palestinians continue to live in displacement, deprived of permanent housing and livelihoods.

UNRWA provides education and healthcare services to refugees, provides social support, and implements infrastructure projects. The agency's funding depends almost entirely on voluntary contributions from donor governments.

January 26, 2026 International law

The risk of mass violence against civilians and further derailment of the peace agreement in South Sudan has sharply increased. The UN Commission on Human Rights in the country warned on Monday in response to recent inflammatory statements by senior South Sudanese military officials and reports of force mobilization in Jonglei State.

UN experts noted that public statements by commanders and others with de facto control over the armed forces, coupled with the active deployment of troops, represent a dangerous escalation at a time when the political foundations of the peace process are already seriously weakened.

International criminal liability

Under international law, military and civilian leaders who incite the commission of crimes or exercise effective control over forces may be held criminally responsible. Liability also applies to those who failed to prevent crimes or punish those responsible if they knew or should have known about the violations being committed.

"Rhetoric calling for the killing of those no longer involved in the fighting and civilians, including the elderly, with claims that 'no one should be spared' is not only shocking but also extremely dangerous," said Commission Chairperson Yasmin Sooka.

She recalled that in the past, such statements preceded mass atrocities.

"When such statements are made or tolerated by those in positions of command, it is perceived as a license to commit violence and removes any expectations of restraint," Sooka warned. "In a context where civilians have already been forced to flee, traumatized and defenseless, such calls put entire communities at serious risk."

The Cycle of Violence

The Commission emphasized that what is happening is not an isolated incident, but part of a broader political crisis associated with systematic violations of the peace agreement and a weakening of discipline within the command structures.

According to Commission expert Barney Afako, the mobilization of forces in such a situation, accompanied by ethnically charged statements, could trigger a spiral of violence that could quickly spiral out of control.

"If there is no immediate intervention at the highest level to rein in the armed forces, achieve de-escalation, and return to consensus politics, South Sudan risks rapidly sliding into a new phase of large-scale violence," Afako said. "In addition to measures at the national level, what is happening urgently requires the involvement of regional leaders at the highest level to facilitate the restoration of the transition process in South Sudan. Time is running out."

Incitement to crime

The Commission emphasized that, under international humanitarian and criminal law, command responsibility extends not only to those who give criminal orders, but also to those who incite crimes or fail to prevent them.

"The peace agreement was created precisely to prevent such a descent into violence," noted Commission member Carlos Castresana Fernández. "Public orders or statements encouraging attacks on civilians, including rhetoric portraying entire communities as legitimate targets, may give rise to individual criminal liability under international law."

The experts called on all parties to immediately cease inflammatory statements and the mobilization of forces, and on the country's leadership to take measures to de-escalate the conflict. They also emphasized that President Salva Kiir bears heightened responsibility for ensuring effective control over the forces acting on his behalf. A similar responsibility rests with the Chief of Staff of the South Sudanese Armed Forces, the Minister of Defense, and other officials exercising operational control over military operations in Jonglei State and other parts of the country.

The commission called on regional and international partners to urgently resume active engagement to preserve the peace agreement and exert pressure on South Sudan's leadership. The experts warned that without this, the country risks sliding into full-scale interethnic conflict and a new, preventable tragedy.

January 24, 2026 Healthcare

As a founding member of the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States has made significant contributions to many of WHO's achievements, including the eradication of smallpox and the fight against diseases such as polio, HIV, Ebola, influenza, tuberculosis, and malaria.

The WHO issued this statement on Saturday, after the United States officially withdrew from the organization. The WHO noted that it regretted the US decision and emphasized that it would make both the US and the world "a less safe place."

"WHO takes note of the United States Government's allegations that it has been 'defamed, tarnished' and insulted by WHO," the organization said.

"In fact, the opposite is true. WHO has always sought to cooperate in good faith with the United States, as it does with all other Member States, with full respect for their sovereignty," the WHO added.

The United States cited WHO's miscalculations during the pandemic as one of the reasons for its withdrawal.COVID-19", including "obstructing the timely and accurate sharing of important information" and that WHO "covered up these failures."

The WHO says it acted quickly and shared information with the world in a timely manner, and advised countries.

"WHO recommended the use of masks, vaccines, and physical distancing, but at no point did it recommend mandatory mask-wearing, mandatory vaccination, or isolation. We supported sovereign governments in making decisions they believed were in the best interests of their people, but those decisions were their own," the organization emphasized.

The United States also claimed that the WHO "was pursuing a politicized, bureaucratic agenda driven by countries hostile to American interests."

"This is not true. As a specialized agency of the United Nations governed by 194 Member States, WHO has always been and remains impartial and exists to serve all countries, with respect for their sovereignty, without fear or favor," the WHO statement said.

The Organization notes that it appreciates the support of countries that continue to work within the WHO framework to find solutions to the most serious health problems.

“Last year, WHO Member States adopted the Agreement on Pandemics, which, once ratified, will become an important instrument of international law to ensure protection against future pandemics,” the WHO said.

The organization expressed hope that the United States would rejoin the WHO in the future.

January 24, 2026 Peace and security

UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine Matthias Schmale strongly condemned the latest wave of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, which has resulted in civilian casualties.

At least one person was reported killed overnight, dozens were injured, and hundreds of thousands were left without power, heat, and water amid severe winter weather.

In Kharkiv, a dormitory housing displaced persons fleeing fighting on the front lines was hit by shelling. A hospital building and residential buildings were also damaged.

In Kyiv, thousands of apartment buildings, which were gradually being reconnected to basic utilities after the attacks of January 9 and 20, were again left without power amid subzero temperatures. The entire city of Chernihiv and hundreds of thousands of families in the Chernihiv region were left without power.

Repair crews and humanitarian aid workers continue to work in freezing temperatures to provide assistance to those affected.

“This systematic cycle of attacks on energy infrastructure violates international humanitarian law and must stop,” the Humanitarian Coordinator said in a statement.

He stressed that civilians should live in their homes safe and warm, not in fear of the next round of destruction.

January 24, 2026 Culture and education

As artificial intelligence penetrates deeper into education systems, the question becomes more pressing: does it improve the quality of learning—or does it undermine the learning process and threaten the well-being of future generations?

In an interview with the UN News Service ahead of International Day of Education, which are celebrated on January 24, Shafika Isaacs, Chief of UNESCO's Section on Technology and AI in Education, emphasized that the organization's mission is not to promote technology for its own sake, but to develop education systems for the benefit of all people. UNESCO serves as a global coordinator, normative benchmark, and capacity-building institution, collaborating with 194 Member States, more than 1,200 research chairs, and a broad network of partners. Through forums such as Digital Learning Week, as well as through publications, including Recommendation on the Ethical Aspects of Artificial Intelligence, the organization shapes a global discourse based on human rights and Sustainable Development Goals.

Myths about AI in Education

According to Isaacs, the discussion of AI in education is largely shaped by a number of myths that threaten the future of learning.

The myth of teacher substitution

"AI can manage data transfer, but it cannot manage human development. Education is, at its core, a social, human, and cultural process, not a technical download of data," she emphasized.

The idea that AI can replace teachers, Isaacs added, is a "fundamental mistake." Reducing the role of educators to that of data administrators undermines the very foundation of education.

Rather than focusing solely on technology, UNESCO emphasizes the need to invest in teachers – including the estimated 44 million teachers the world will need by 2030.

The Myth of Personalization

What is often called AI-powered personalization of learning is in fact “standardized individualization” – the learner, alone in front of a screen, follows an algorithmic path.

Authentic learning, Isaacs emphasizes, is social in nature. It should develop critical thinking, creativity, ethical principles, and the ability to build relationships with others and the environment.

The Myth of Speed

"In dominant discussions of AI, success is measured by how quickly a student finds the right answer. But in education, speed is often the enemy of depth. Effortless learning is thought to be better. In reality, students require cognitive effort, a slow and complex process of critical reflection," she noted.

Where AI can really help

According to a UNESCO representative, the world needs to avoid the so-called "efficiency trap," where learning outcomes are assessed solely by test scores. Instead, AI, she says, offers the opportunity to "rethink the very nature of the learning process."

AI can act as a Socratic, critical assistant, encouraging students to think and explore solutions rather than relying on predefined answers. This approach underlies the "AI Competency Framework" for teachers and students.

Technology also has the potential to enhance linguistic and cognitive inclusivity. Locally developed models can support the preservation and development of indigenous and marginalized languages and provide targeted support for neurodiverse learners.

Furthermore, AI can serve as an early warning system to identify students who may be at risk of dropping out of school for any reason, provided that the algorithms do not reinforce bias based on class, race, gender, or geography.

Main risks

Isaacs identifies three key threats.

Cognitive unloading

The point is that more and more children and adult learners are using AI to perform the most complex mental tasks. This, according to Isaacs, threatens to create a generation capable of generating texts but incapable of deep critical thinking.

Algorithmic bias and loss of data sovereignty

“Without community-owned and culturally relevant AI systems, we are effectively handing over the operating system of our children’s thinking to a few tech companies,” she warned.

The risk of losing control over children's and adults' data, as well as the violation of their privacy, security, and safety, remains one of the most serious threats, according to UNESCO.

The erosion of the social contract

"If we move to a world where the student sits alone in front of a screen and the teacher is reduced to the role of data manager, we will lose the very spirit of the education system and the teaching profession," Isaacs said.

She called for the protection of the "right to develop the human and critical subjectivity" of teachers and students, and for the consideration of "school as a space of social justice and human connection, not simply as a data protocol."

Teachers and students as integral individuals

Teaching, Isaacs emphasized, is not about competition with machines“We are talking about high-level human work in support, mentoring, ethical guidance and creating social support in the learning process.”

The AI Competency Framework for Teachers emphasizes pedagogical agency, ethical decision-making, understanding how AI works, recognizing when it should not be used, and co-creating technologies and professional development pathways.

The competency model for students goes far beyond labor market requirements. It emphasizes ethics and responsibility, creativity and critical thinking, mental health, and civic and social engagement.

A look into the future

According to Isaacs, the global dialogue is shifting "from how to use AI to achieve goals SDG 4, on the question of how to manage AI so that education remains a public good."

UNESCO advocates for the priority of public interests over commercial ones, for ethical systems that are built from the ground up with safety in mind, for international solidarity, and for the creation of a global public space for AI in education – a shared resource of infrastructure, open models, and research.

"The AI divide is becoming the new digital divide," Isaacs warned. "And a renewed multilateral approach means global solidarity is critical to preventing AI from becoming a tool of technological fragmentation."

January 23, 2026 Humanitarian aid

Amid negotiations on the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, linked to the Peace Council recently established by US President Donald Trump, UN humanitarian agencies on Friday emphasized that the main need of the people of Gaza today is humanitarian aid.

“It is crucial to clear congestion at crossing points and reopen critical routes such as the Jordan corridor,” said Juliet Tuma, Director of Communications for the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

Speaking to reporters, Tuma noted that while the October 3 ceasefire agreement had brought some respite to families, "people are still dying – every day."

According to her, Gaza's most vulnerable residents simply "cannot wait" for a reconstruction plan to be developed, which is one of the stated goals of the Peace Council. Large-scale aid delivery operations must take place in parallel with the plan's discussions.

It remains unclear how exactly the UN will support the Peace Council. However, UN Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted last November and welcoming the creation of the Council, emphasized the importance of cooperation with the United Nations.

"We are very committed to doing everything possible to ensure the full implementation of Security Council resolution 2803," said Alessandra Vellucci, Director of the UN Information Service in Geneva.

"The UN has a role to play – leading the delivery of humanitarian aid. We've been doing this for a long time and will continue to do so within our capabilities," she added.

Since Sunday, humanitarian organizations have provided assistance to 13,000 families in Gaza, distributing hundreds of tents and tarpaulins, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Healthcare needs also remain enormous. Organizations like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), despite numerous challenges, are struggling to provide care to approximately 15,000 patients a day.

"Before the war, we had 22 clinics operating across the Gaza Strip, and now we have about six left," said UNRWA spokesman Jonathan Fowler.

“We have mobile medical teams, but they are working in extremely difficult conditions,” he added.

January 23, 2026 Humanitarian aid

On Friday, UN humanitarian agencies reported that two people delivering bread from the UN World Food Programme (WFP) were killed the previous day in the Kharkiv region when a drone struck a car.

On the morning of January 22, a vehicle carrying humanitarian aid provided by the WFP and its partners to the villages of Kozachya Lopan and Novaya Kozachya in the Kharkiv region was attacked by a drone near the entrance to one of the villages. Two local officials, aged 35 and 63, who were inside, died instantly.

The food was intended for people living in close proximity to the front lines, where access to food remains extremely limited.

"We express our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died courageously helping others. Attacks on civilians are prohibited by international humanitarian law," said Richard Regan, WFP Country Director for Ukraine.

"These repeated, senseless attacks on humanitarian operations risk depriving communities living on the front lines of vital assistance," he added.

This is the 69th attack on WFP-supported facilities in the past two years, including aid distribution points, warehouses and vehicles.

January 23, 2026 Human rights

The scale of mass killings on the streets of Iran has decreased, but "state brutality" continues. This was stated by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, speaking at a special session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Friday.

According to him, repression not only fails to solve the country's problems, but also creates conditions for further human rights violations, instability, and bloodshed.

Türk reported that thousands of people, including children, have been killed since January 8, when security forces began using live ammunition against demonstrators. Accurate figures are difficult to establish, as the authorities simultaneously imposed a widespread communications blackout, and the UN is denied access to the country.

Peaceful protesters were reportedly killed on the streets, in residential areas, universities, and even medical facilities. Video footage obtained by the UN shows hundreds of bodies in morgues with gunshot wounds to the head and chest. Hundreds of security forces are also reported dead.

According to Türk, security forces carried out mass arrests in several cities, harassing the wounded in hospitals and arresting lawyers, human rights defenders, activists, and ordinary citizens. The Tehran prosecutor's office opened criminal cases against athletes, actors, film industry workers, and cafe owners for "supporting the protests."

The High Commissioner is particularly concerned by the statement made by the head of Iran's judiciary this week, who said that "the work has only just begun" and that there will be no leniency for those detained.

Rise in the number of executions

Iran remains one of the world's leading executioners. According to the UN, at least 1,500 death sentences were carried out in the country in 2025—a 50 percent increase from the previous year.

Turk expressed deep concern over the authorities' contradictory statements regarding possible executions of protesters: while Iran's foreign minister insists executions will not be carried out, senior judicial officials continue to threaten charges that carry the mandatory death penalty.

Attempts to discredit the protests

According to Türk, the authorities are attempting to portray protesters as "terrorists," "enemies of the state," and "foreign agents," claiming that peaceful demonstrations have been infiltrated by "rioters." However, he emphasized, this in no way justifies the excessive and disproportionate use of force or absolves the state of its obligations to ensure due process.

Part of a long-term cycle of repression

The High Commissioner recalled that the current wave of protests is the latest stage in Iranians' long-standing demands for change. The last major surge in violence occurred in 2022 following the death of Gina Mahsa Amini, which led to the UN Council's creation of the International Fact-Finding Mission.

The current protests began due to sharp price increases amid a severe economic crisis, exacerbated by harsh domestic policies and international sanctions. Socioeconomic demands quickly escalated into calls for political and structural reforms.

Although the authorities initially declared their willingness to engage in dialogue and announced increased subsidies, they soon returned to their usual tactics of suppression – murder, arrests, and intimidation.

A call for dialogue and reform

Turk emphasized that the only way out of the crisis is dialogue based on respect for the rights of all Iranians. Particular attention, he said, must be given to the voices of women, girls, youth, and ethnic and religious minorities.

The High Commissioner expressed the UN's readiness to support any steps aimed at complying with Iran's international human rights obligations.

Volker Türk called on the international community to take measures to mitigate the negative impact of sanctions on human rights in Iran. He emphasized that aggressive rhetoric and threats only exacerbate the situation and that achieving accountability for violations is impossible through force – either internal or external.

Statement by the Fact-Finding Mission

The UN Fact-Finding Mission in Iran issued a statement on Friday describing the "unprecedentedly brutal" crackdown on protests.

According to the Mission, the government's response quickly escalated from conciliatory rhetoric to widespread violence: security forces used live ammunition, including assault rifles and heavy machine guns, resulting in the deaths of thousands. Evidence points to arbitrary killings, torture, sexual violence, and mass detentions, including of children and journalists. Hospitals were overwhelmed, and relatives searched makeshift morgues for bodies.

The mission emphasized that violations in Iran are systemic and organized. The authorities are concealing the scale of the crisis, including by completely shutting down the internet. Against this backdrop, the judiciary is demanding swift and harsh punishments, including the application of the "enmity against God" law, which carries the death penalty.

The mission called for an urgent international response to gather evidence, establish accountability, protect victims, and end the cycle of impunity that leads to further escalation and the commission of even more serious violations.
