Climate experts from around the world are set to gather in the German city of Bonn on Monday for the UN's annual June climate meetings. Almost 6,000 delegates are expected to attend the meeting in preparation for the 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) talks in Azerbaijan in November. The main issue on the table at the negotiations in Bonn is climate financing. Industrialized countries have promised to support poorer nations hit by the consequences of climate change with billions in aid. The loss and damage fund - as the financing has come to be known - was first formally adopted at the 27th Co...

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Ignored by Russia and Israel, the International Court of Justice is hamstrung by a dysfunctional global system that sees countries comply with its rulings -- or not -- based on their own double standards, experts say.

In May, it ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is ongoing. Do these refusals to comply with legally binding decisions testify to a lack of credibility and legitimacy o...

United Nations' humanitarian organizations are warning of an imminent famine in Sudan. "Time is running out for millions of people in Sudan who are at imminent risk of famine, displaced from their lands, living under bombardments, and cut off from humanitarian assistance," they said in a statement on Friday. Both parties to the conflict, who have been fighting for power in the country for more than a year, are deliberately withholding humanitarian aid from the people, the statement said. The signatories include the heads of several UN bodies, including the UN Office for the Coordination of Hum...

It is almost impossible to provide any humanitarian aid in Gaza following the Israeli offensive on the southern city of Rafah, the director for Europe of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees told Euronews. Some 1.4 million people sought refuge near Rafah when the Israeli offensive started more than seven months ago, in Northern Gaza. But the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) now classifies the “safe zones” designated by Israel as “no man’s land”. The agency's director for Europe, Marta Lorenzo, told Euronews that she fears for the 800,000 people who are on the move again afte...

Europe has put pressure on Israel to comply with the top UN court's ruling to end its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, even though Israel has said it will ignore the judgment handed down in the Dutch city of The Hague.

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck on Saturday criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, describing its military operation in Rafah as contrary to international law.

Habeck said that the German government believes "that Israel must not carry out this attack, at least not in the way it did in the ...
