Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare, 30 November
By António Guterres, United Nations Secretary General
More than one hundred years after the first large-scale use of chemical weapons in battle, they continue to inflict terror, suffering and death.
Recent years have seen the erosion of the taboo against chemical weapons, threatening the disarmament and non-proliferation regimes.

Impunity for their use is unacceptable.

(UN News)* — Hunger is on the rise in southern Madagascar due to consecutive years of drought, affecting half the region’s population, or 1.5 million people, and forcing most families to eat insects, the World Food Programme (WFP) reported on Friday [27 November 2020].
WFP/Tsiory Andriantsoarana | The combined effects of the drought, COVID-19 and the insecurity upsurge have undermined the already fragile food security and nutrition situation of the population of southern Madagascar.

The figure is three times the number projected mid-year, with women and children comprising most of those experiencing “crisis” or “emergency” hunger conditions.

27 November 2020 (IWGIA)* — In Peru, the Bagua Massacre prompted the adoption of the ILO Convention 169 in response to local demands and international pressure.

The consultation process, as outlined by the State, has become a threat.
