Kampf um Deutungshoheit: Israels Einsatz an der "achten Front"
Für Israels Regierung verläuft in den Medien "die achte Front". Deshalb gibt sie immer mehr Geld für die Verbreitung von Botschaften in ihrem Sinn aus. Wie erklärt sie sich dabei der Welt? Von J.C. Kitzler.Jan-Christoph Kitzler (tagesschau.de)

UN-Generalsekretär Guterres fordert neue Zypern-Gespräche
Nikosia auf Zypern ist die letzte geteilte Hauptstadt der Welt. Durch sie verläuft eine UN-Pufferzone, die auch die Insel teilt. UN-Generalsekretär Guterres fordert nun neue Gespräche zwischen den Parteien. Von Benjamin Weber.
Es ist schon ein paar Jahrzehnte her, und ich erinnere mich nur noch bruchstückhaft: Es stand bei der Uno eine Abstimmung an, es ging grob um das Thema Geburtenkontrolle. Nur drei Länder stimmten gegen den Vorschlag, nämlich die religiös-fundamentalistischen: der Vatikan, der Iran der Ajatollahs - und die USA.
Was für ein Glück, dass ich noch miterleben darf, wie diese westliche Schurken-Nation nach und nach immer mehr Macht verliert. Genauso wie die osteuropäische Schurken-Nation mit Putin an der Spitze der Befehlskette. Die dritte Großmacht, nicht weniger schurkenhaft, erkennt immerhin die universelle Gültigkeit der Naturwissenschaften an - ein bedeutender Fortschritt.
Report: Francesca Albanese: The removal of ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan cannot be read in isolation from the campaign to overturn the ICC's arrest warrant against Netanyahu.
"Khan's removal lines up neatly with the fight to neutralise Netanyahu's arrest warrant."
Israel's Gideon Saar, "played an active role in efforts to remove Khan."
"If the ICC is paralysed, lawyers & judges worldwide must do more."

Vier Frauen und zwei Männer kämpfen um Nachfolge von UN-Chef Guterres
Am Ende des Jahres scheidet UN-Generalsekretär Guterres aus seinem Amt aus. Zwei Männer und vier Frauen kämpfen um seine Nachfolge. Eine Frau stand in der 80-jährigen Geschichte noch nie an der Spitze. Von Martin Ganslmeier.
Für die UN heißt es sparen, sparen, sparen - und umziehen
Stühlerücken in Genf: Im Palais Wilson tauschen zwei UN-Einrichtungen die Räumlichkeiten. Das Menschenrechtsbüro zieht aus, das Flüchtlingshilfswerk zieht ein. Beide haben dafür denselben Grund: sparen. Von Stefanie Dodt.
Ein neuer #UN-Bericht zeigt: #KI-Fähigkeiten und Sicherheitsrisiken sind weltweit extrem ungleich verteilt.
Die #USA und #China dominieren Rechenleistung und Spitzenmodelle, während der globale Süden kaum Kapazitäten hat, Risiken zu bewerten. Zersplitterte nationale Regulierung statt globaler Standards verschärft das Problem zusätzlich.
Der Bericht fordert koordinierte UN-Mechanismen - fraglich, ob sich Staaten bei so unterschiedlichen Interessen darauf einigen werden:
Im Zusammenhang mit den angeblichen Behinderungen der Einfuhr von Hilfsgütern in #Gaza wird immer nur offen davon schwadroniert, dass #Israel diese verhindern würde & die Menschen deswegen große Not leiden müssen.
Aber wie es wirklich zugeht, das interessiert im Westen keine Sau. Manchmal, aber wirklich nur manchmal, sitzen bei der #UN auch Leute, die die Wahrheit doch noch ok finden. Die #HAMAS überfällt regelmässig Hilfstransporte, um die Waren für sich zu haben oder auf Märkten zu verkaufen.
Barbados:
Critical data has to stay within the country under our jurisdiction on infrastructure that we control.
Countries should not have to pick between capability and independence / sovereignty.
We ensure that a in-country team of trained data specialists that can own critical functions. We do this for sustainability.
We believe in bringing communities at the design stage, not bringing models and expecting them to work. We believe in local context and co-design.
Comments:
Luisa Machado from Equilabs: can anyone younger than 30 years old stand up?
I feel like we are 10-15 people here.
Discussion about children and young people safeguards don’t represent us.
Many young people are not excited about AI. We understand the risks.
You talk about age verification and representing youth.
You just want to govern young people’s relationship with technology instead of governing technology companies’ relationships with power.
You continue to sign multi year contracts with companies that you are supposed to regulate.
You have to move beyond the governing the symptoms.
Tanzania:
The central question we need to address is how we ensure inclusive and interoperable and beneficial digital transformation.
Developing privacy and security so we can protect our citizens.
We have national guidelines and policy frameworks.
We work closely with ITU African Union and other partners to ensure systems can support our development goals while respecting privacy and security and sovereignty.
Developing countries must have an equal voice. We call for enhanced international cooperation, research partnerships, investments in digital infrastructure so all countries can participate meaningfully.
Lebanon:
A long time ago our ancestors looked to the sea, used it as a bridge and not an obstacle. We exchanged cultures and goods.
With the same spirit we look with some concern to the future of AI.
We have known wars, displacement and loss, destroyed institutions.
Our story is always about renewal and rejuvenation.
We are investing in digital capacity building programs. We have revised the school curriculum to include responsible AI. We are working with Lebanese expatriates abroad to help build institutions, promoting homegrown innovation not in isolation but with choice and international cooperation.
We need standards, safeguards. Lebanon is ready for a purposeful dialogue, to navigate a future with AI.
Guatemala:
We welcome this opportunity to ensure the tech transformation of all people instead of depending existing divides.
We consider that ethical principles, human rights, scientific principles, international standards.
Discussion is not enough. We must speak of connectivity, infrastructure, literacy and institutional strengthening for those countries facing structural difficulties.
Our reality: we are plural multicultural and multilingual. A truly inclusive AI cannot be limited to expand technologies designed to work without cultural and linguistic diversity. Incorporate indigenous languages, incorporate community and ancestral knowledge, reduce bias, so as to not make our contributions invisible.
Digital inclusion must also be cultural, linguistic, terroritorial inclusion. We must actively participate in defining standards, frameworks.
Kenya:
AI must expand opportunity for all countries and must not deepen the divide.
Inclusion, rights, risks: for many developing countries we feel the divide in compute, data and language.
Many AI systems do not reflect African language or contexts. If this continues we will remain consumers of tech we do not shape while bearing most of its harms.
We need to participate more meaningfully in setting standards. We need fair financing. Especially where it affects people’s rights.
We now offer 22 000 govt services to millions of citizens. Interoperability is the common baseline for safety.
Botswana:
We recognize the capabilities of AI and want to harness it across key sectors. However, like many developing countries.
We face challenges here. A major constraint is lack of adequate digital infra and skills in developing nations.
We trust this dialogue will create the space for how best to support developing countries. It must serve as a platform for collective action that responds to the priorities of developing countries, to bridge the digital divide between nations.
Ethical considerations to protect human rights and uphold international safeguards. We call upon practical measures from this dialogue to assist developing countries.
France:
AI must reflect the linguistic and cultural diversity of the world, fight misinformation, respect the environment.
Open source models to democratize access.
Common governance to allow the freedom to allow sovereignty and human rights.
For countries facing energy problems we need to make sure we don’t worsen the environmental situation.
France is focused on renewable energy with Mistral and other efforts.
We call upon all partners to support international governance. France is committed to share its experience here and to support these objectives.
Switzerland:
The UN should not only define the rules but also be the example.
In the accomplishment of its mandate for those who they are serving: member states and populations around the world.
Freedom online coalition, which Switzerland presided over this year, states that
Governance of AI must be firmly enshrined in international law and human rights, and elaborated through human centered multi party, multilateral systems.
We also highlight that AI can be used for surveillance and other abusive ways that can reduce our democracy and human rights.
In Geneva we will host the next global summit on AI.
China:
AI governance is the shared task of all countries. Chinese president calls for equitable AI governance. China has consistently supported the UN as the primary channel for global AI governance.
Regardless of size, strength or social system, China has the AI action plan for cooperation and stands ready to share AI capacity building especially with the global south
Open source cooperation. Open source AI is a shared asset. Chinese open source models like DeepSeek and Qwen have lowered the barrier.
AI also brings unforeseen risks. China firmly upholds balancing development and safety. China stands ready to work with all parties on frameworks, standards and norms based on international standards.
China calls on all parties to strengthen solidarity.
Eswatini:
We meet in Geneva at a defining moment in humanity. AI is no longer a distant innovation.
For countries like Eswatini, AI governance must begin with ‘technology must serve the people’.
AI must not narrow the world into a single identity or values or homogeneity. This is especially important for small developing states, who must not become mere consumers of technology made elsewhere, technology made without regard for their needs.
Algorithms must be required to adhere to human rights, safety and public interest standards. AI systems must not be permitted to self regulate. Human oversight must remain at the center. Children must be protected from addictive design and manipulation by systems they cannot understand.
Voluntary enforcement is not enough.
An overview of the big report released here this week

UN report: AI brings enormous opportunities – and plenty of risks
Science, technology, culture, and the economy. AI is going to have an impact on pretty much every industry. The U.N. looked at the promise and perils ahead.Aaron Glantz (The Christian Science Monitor)
Libya: we know that African countries and those participating the least in greenhouse emissions today.. will also not be benefiting from AI and contributing to the emissions from data centers
Just as we would refuse for our natural resources to be exploited by others, we do the same with data
Maria Ressa talks about how in an Eritrean language, AI changes ‘smallpox’ to ‘syphilis’, and sometimes confuses ‘medicine’ and ‘insecticide’, which obviously has public health implications.
This type of work ‘AI performance and safety issues in other languages and its impact on people’ is 50% of the work I do.
I’m glad Maria Ressa is involved in this work. She’s now talking about chatbots, teenagers, suicide.
“Civil society has been saying this for years. You now have more evidence now for what you’ve been saying.”
"A UN commission of inquiry says Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip, as well as war crimes in the occupied West Bank.
A new report alleges that Israeli authorities and security forces have "deliberately carried out acts inflicting death and severe bodily and mental harm on hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children", and that the killings continued even after last October's ceasefire in Gaza.
The commission says it has reasonable grounds to conclude that those acts "form part of a deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children"."

Israel continues to commit genocide by targeting children in Gaza, UN inquiry finds
Independent report says by aiming at children Israel is undermining capacity of Palestinian people to existOliver Holmes (the Guardian)
The US representative to the UN stated that Russia's situation continues to deteriorate: the army is losing about 40,000 people every month, the economy is under pressure, and Ukraine is rapidly implementing new technologies.
"Time is not on Moscow's side. Russia must make a deal," the American diplomat stated.

UN CLIMATE TALKS
Bonn climate talks: Key outcomes from the June 2026 UN climate conference
Two weeks of tense #UN #climate talks in Bonn, Germany, have produced few tangible outcomes as diplomats faced “gridlock”.
Negotiators failed to find agreement in numerous areas, such as scaling up global emissions cuts and funding for climate adaptation.
In the closing plenary, many diplomats lamented weakened trust in the UN climate process, as it struggled to find its footing in a new geopolitical landscape.
