2023: Grave Violations of International Law | United Nations Security Council Briefing

Briefing by Joyce Msuya, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, during the 9632nd meeting of the Security Council.

Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Joyce Msuya, today (21 May) told the Security Council that “the harm and suffering caused to civilians in 2023 signals an alarming lack of compliance with international humanitarian law and international human rights law” and indicates that “the Council's protection of civilians’ resolutions of the last 25 years remain largely unheeded.”

The Council held its annual open debate on the protection of civilians (PoC) in armed conflict, as 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 25th anniversary of resolution 1265 of 17 September 1999, which first established PoC as a matter of international peace and security and introduced it as an item on the Council’s agenda.

Msuya said “about 75 percent of Gaza's population has been forcibly displaced. A man-made famine is looming. Thousands of children have been killed and injured in what UNICEF colleagues have called a war on children. An estimated 130 people remain hostage with ongoing concerns for their humane treatment.”

I was watching a NASA Spacewalk being done when Sudan was mentioned in 2023. I was watching and supporting Doctors without Borders at the time as well. Not that this will matter to anyone at the U.N.

Considering the immense harm and lasting damage that conflicts cause—disrupting lives, families, and communities—couldn't we, as a global community, aim for a higher state of harmony by resolving international disagreements through virtual platforms like Counterstrike or Call of Duty? By adopting these virtual competitions as the official method for settling disputes between nations, we could replace the negative impacts of real-world conflicts with a safe and positive alternative. If countries find themselves at odds, they would turn to the virtual battlefield, fostering a culture of peace while enriching our minds and spirits. Elevating these competitions to the status of global events like the FIFA World Championship or the Olympics, we would create a new model of conflict resolution, one that encourages the growth and flourishing of humanity as a whole, ultimately ensuring lasting peace for all.
