The report covered April through June and said at least 1,520 people were killed and 609 injured in armed violence, primarily in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, followed by Artibonite and other departments. The report recorded at least 185 kidnappings and 628 victims of reported gender- or sexual-violence-related crimes (the transcript redacted the specific term used). The briefing said criminal groups have expanded and intensified attacks outside Port-au-Prince, and that abuses by criminal groups accounted for more than 24 percent of people killed or injured during the period.

The report said a majority of deaths and injuries documented occurred during security-force operations against criminal groups, and that more than a third were the result of strikes using explosive drones. The human-rights office called on the Haitian government, with international support, to strengthen efforts against gangs while respecting human-rights standards and use-of-force limits. The briefing repeated an appeal to the international community to support the full deployment of a multinational security support mission and to intensify efforts against arms trafficking.

Separately, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs cited data from the International Organization for Migration showing that more than 45,000 people have been displaced in central departments since June; in total nearly 240,000 people were reported displaced in those two departments, and 55 percent of the newly displaced are women. The briefing said the humanitarian response remains critically underfunded. UNFPA and partners have provided reproductive-health and gender-based-violence services to more than 12,600 people in the past two months, the briefing said.

The human-rights office urged strengthened international support for security, rule-of-law measures and efforts to curb arms trafficking while emphasizing compliance with human-rights standards.

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that more than 100 people were killed in the past two days and hundreds more injured along food convoy routes or near militarized distribution hubs. OCHA said community-level delivery at scale and unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza are required to prevent further loss of life.

OCHA noted that market prices remain volatile and out of reach for many families; over the past two weeks humanitarian partners distributed cash to 20,000 families. The briefing said humanitarians cannot address the crisis alone and urged that commercial supplies also be allowed in.

The World Health Organization reported delivering 11 trucks of medical supplies, including trauma and laboratory supplies, to a warehouse in Deir al-Balah. The UN collected and delivered approximately 150,000 liters of fuel from Kerem Shalom Crossing to a UN-managed fuel station on the night prior to the briefing, but officials said the UN and partners need hundreds of thousands of liters every day to power health, water and sanitation, and emergency telecommunications.

Humanitarian movements face delays and impediments. Approved missions often take many hours because teams wait at multiple points along prescribed routes; one fuel mission took 18 hours to complete, while the direct distance cited between Deir al-Balah and Kerem Shalom is about 24 kilometers. Officials said the routes instructed by Israeli authorities are often dangerous, congested or impassable.

\"Civilians must always be protected and community-level delivery at scale must be facilitated,\" OCHA said during the briefing.

The briefing noted limited increases in aid access in recent days but stressed that the amounts that have entered Gaza so far remain insufficient and that fuel, safe passage and unfettered humanitarian access are still urgently needed.

","UN humanitarian officials said hundreds of thousands of liters of fuel are needed daily in Gaza, aid deliveries remain impeded by dangerous routes and long waits, and OCHA reported more than 100 people killed in two days along food convoy routes.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6497001,"UN proposes shorter, clearer mandates under UN80 review as staff express concerns",829,20805,850535,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5524169-ecd50647f776e527ff810c7235d176fa&start=20&end=850","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5524169-ecd50647f776e527ff810c7235d176fa/thumbnail_20805.jpg","/articles/6497001/UN-proposes-shorter-clearer-mandates-under-UN80-review-as-staff-express-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6497001-f625b76c9a65df56de70b0b52f65cf4d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775391976&Signature=f1HqR5NSZetHjYvU~KRNx7tVaaMEIsOeVZyDSRTzqHF1WAopIzPaw6EVZMsfDr5JnYVFFf9TVTnU7S3NF1zoL47~qhQuFgpAJPHw9coxAFSTFQJdpb-Or5bcTmqBakfnqDQ7-ibBUboN8vunkh37aKc1XElC3oP3nMwg5mmlD~vr99uYIT8uxuxTsyoXdF9VtLkKlJqRTHEXZky8LFHzDelndbphAPKMVA1hP8-0t2fmkS~BqbyzJND3jheFa5JgjOehPcvvu7wKWJ2uXCmExwCzbkUs-tavLOOv2W3y3uwtY2eaVrnG9L7uu5hrNV9kEMKdLyKVkL5DvKB7Sdncxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a United Nations press briefing, the secretary-general presented elements of the UN80 review’s workstream 2, proposing a shift toward shorter, clearer, and more focused mandates to reduce duplication and improve delivery.

The recommendation follows an internal assessment showing more than 40,000 resolutions and decisions on the books and a marked increase in the length of UN texts: since 2020 the average word count of General Assembly resolutions rose about 55 percent, ECOSOC texts grew about 95 percent, and Security Council resolutions are roughly three times longer than 30 years ago. The secretary-general said mandates should be tools “to deliver real results in real lives in the real world.”

The report frames the review as an effort to make implementation more effective rather than to question member states’ authority. At the briefing, the UN spokesperson said steps the secretary-general can take on his own will be presented to the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ) and the Fifth Committee (the General Assembly’s budgetary committee) by the end of the summer, and any formal changes would proceed through the UN budget process and require member-state approval.

The briefing also addressed proposals discussed at senior levels to relocate some operations closer to field costs. In response to questions, the spokesperson said options—including placing more operations in lower-cost locations—are under consideration and would require separate approvals by the executive boards of affected agencies and by agency management. Suggestions that UNICEF, UNFPA and UN Women might relocate functions to Nairobi were described as early-stage options, not final decisions.

Staff pushback was raised during the briefing. The staff union council of the UN office in Geneva declared a vote of no confidence in the secretary-general and in the UN80 restructuring plan on July 24. The spokesperson said management is aware of staff concerns and that the process will involve staff representatives and dialogue; there is “no intention to exclude staff concerns” as the review proceeds.

What happens next: the secretary-general’s proposals will be presented to ACABQ and the Fifth Committee for member-state consideration; any implementation would depend on their decisions through the budgetary and governance processes.

","At a UN press briefing, the secretary-general's UN80 report recommended shorter, more focused mandates to reduce duplication and improve delivery. The proposal would require member-state approval through budgetary committees; the UN Office in Geneva staff union has registered a vote of no confidence in the plan.","actionData","errors"]
