India backs resolution at  UNGA that expressed concern over Israeli occupation of Syrian Golan.

At UNGA, India backs resolution against Israel's occupation of Syrian Golan

India backs resolution at&nbsp; UNGA that expressed concern over Israeli occupation of Syrian Golan.

India has voted in favour of a draft resolution in the UN General Assembly that expressed deep concern over Israel not withdrawing from the Syrian Golan.
The Syrian Golan is a region in southwest Syria that was occupied by Israeli forces on June 5, 1967.
The 193-member UN General Assembly voted on the draft resolution &lsquo;The Syrian Golan&rsquo; under agenda item &lsquo;The situation in the Middle East&rsquo; on Tuesday. The resolution, introduced by Egypt, was adopted by a recorded vote with 91 in favour, eight against and 62 abstentions.
Apart from India, those voting in favour of the resolution included Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Malaysia, Maldives, Nepal, Russia, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates. Australia, Canada, Israel, the UK and the US voted against it. The resolution said it is deeply concerned that Israel has not withdrawn from the Syrian Golan, which has been under occupation since 1967, contrary to the relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions.
The resolution declared that Israel failed to comply with Security Council resolution 497 (1981), which decided that &ldquo;the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect.&rdquo; Tuesday's resolution also declared the Israeli decision of December 14, 1981, null and void and said it had no validity whatsoever. It called upon Israel to rescind its decision.
The resolution also stressed the illegality of the Israeli settlement construction and other activities in the occupied Syrian Golan since 1967.
It demanded Israel's withdrawal from all the occupied Syrian Golan to the line of June 4, 1967, in implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions, and determined &ldquo;that the continued occupation of the Syrian Golan and its de facto annexation constitute a stumbling block in the way of achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the region.&rdquo; The resolution expressed grave concern over the halt in the peace process on the Syrian track and expressed hope that peace talks will soon resume from the point they had reached.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on September 25 slammed the US media, accusing it of 'biases' against India. 
The minister outlined that it was important to contest, not to sit back and therefore not let other people define India. 
"This is something which we need to be aware of. It is important to contest. It isn't because most Americans will not know what sort of the nuances and the complexities of back home, so, it's important not to sit back, not to let other people define me. That is something which I feel as a community is very important for us," he said.
Speaking  at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the EAM in a veiled jibe at US national daily 'The Washington Post' said he was well aware of what the newspapers including the ones in New York will write, .
"I look at the media. You know, there are some newspapers you know, exactly, what they are going to write including one in this town," he said amid laughter and applause on Sunday.
Responding to a question on misrepresentation of the Kashmir issue in the American capital, Jaishankar said if there is a terrorist incident, it doesn't matter what faith the person who's killed belongs to.
Saying that there are Indian soldiers, Indian officials who are losing their lives as he questioned the media coverage on such matters. "How often do you hear people talking about it; pronouncing it, in fact, look at the media coverage. What does the media cover what does the media not cover?," the EAM said.
The minister pointed that opinions and perceptions are shaped in a fashion saying that facts are played with. "The way facts are slanted, things are laid out over what's right and what's wrong is confused. This is politics at work," the EAM suggested.
Jaishankar affirmed that it was important to not let it go, and contest.
"We should shape the narrative. This is a competitive world. We need to get our messages out," he concluded.
The anti-India forces, Jaishankar said are "not winning in India".  "They will try and win outside or try and shape India from outside,"he added

Priyanka Chopra, advocated for children’s rights, addressed a conference at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Monday. She arrived in the city to attend the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Moment at UNGA as the United Nations commenced the UN High-Level Week.
In her address at UNGA, Priyanka said, ‘As Miss Melinda Gates just said so eloquently 'women don't need empowerment, they need power. Fighting for the rights of freedom of children, young people especially girls, and ensuring their access to transformative power of education are the heart of my work as a @UNICEF goodwill ambassador.’
‘I grew up in India, where access to education is a challenge for a lot of girls, as it is in many other parts of the world, where children desperately want to learn, but are challenged to do so. I strongly believe that education is just the cornerstone of equality, social justice, social change, and democracy,’ she added.
The actor also posed for pictures with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai and US poet Amanda Gorman at the event. Sharing a picture with them, she wrote, ‘So proud to share the stage with these two remarkable women.’
Priyanka Chopra was appointed the Global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2016.
Priyanka also spent time with her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas during the lunch break. The actor posted an adorable picture with her on her Instagram stories and wrote, ‘Lunch break #unga.’
Priyanka will next feature in her debut web series, ‘Citadel’. She also has films like ‘Ending Things’, ‘It's All Coming Back To Me’ and Farhan Akhtar's ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ alongside Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt in the pipeline.

India backs UN resolution to recognise human right to clean, healthy environment; raises concern over text

India said that the terms &lsquo;clean&rsquo;, &lsquo;healthy&rsquo; and &lsquo;sustainable&rsquo; remain open to subjective interpretations and that the resolution fails to have a &ldquo;clear reference&rdquo; to the foundational principle of equity in international environmental law.&nbsp;

India has voted in favour of a UN General Assembly resolution that recognises the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right, but dissociated itself from an operative paragraph of the text and voiced its concerns over the procedure and substance of the resolution.
The 193-member General Assembly adopted the resolution on Thursday with 161 votes in favour and abstentions by Belarus, Cambodia, China, Ethiopia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Syria.
While India voted in favour of the resolution, it voiced its concerns over the procedure and substance of the resolution.
The resolution &ldquo;recognises the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right&rdquo; and "affirms that the promotion of the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment requires the full implementation of the multilateral environmental agreements under the principles of international environmental law.&rdquo; &ldquo;India stands ready to support any effort for a better environment and to further international cooperation for environmental protection. In this context, India voted in favour of this resolution,&rdquo; Counsellor in India&rsquo;s Permanent Mission to the UN Ashish Sharma said, delivering the explanation of the vote in the UNGA.
&ldquo;However, considering that our concerns remain outstanding, we are, therefore, constrained to dissociate ourselves with the operative paragraph 1 of the resolution,&rdquo; he said.
The operative paragraph 1 of the resolution reads that the UNGA &ldquo;Recognises the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right.&rdquo; He requested that this statement be included in the official records in the meeting. He asserted that the UNGA resolutions do not in themselves create binding obligations, and it is only through conventions and treaties that State parties commit to a &ldquo;new human right and undertake appropriate obligations for the realisation of such a right.

&ldquo;Further, there is no clear understanding and agreed definition of terms &lsquo;clean&rsquo;, &lsquo;healthy&rsquo; and &lsquo;sustainable&rsquo;. Currently, these terms remain open to subjective interpretations and thereby dilutes the very objective of the recognition proclaimed in the present resolution,&rdquo; Sharma said.
He voiced regret that the text of the resolution fails to have a &ldquo;clear reference&rdquo; to the foundational principle of equity in international environmental law.
Noting that India attaches great importance to the promotion and protection of human rights, including in the context of environment, Sharma said New Delhi had expressed its concerns on the resolution both in terms of procedure and substance.
India had also expressed its concerns clearly and repeatedly, and made constructive proposals to achieve common ground.
&ldquo;We sincerely believe that some of these proposals could have helped in bringing us closer to the consensus.&rdquo; He said India also remains concerned that even after strong support by many member states for the inclusion of preambular paragraph 8 of the Human Rights Council resolution 48/13, which forms the basis of the current resolution, the decision of the core group was otherwise.
&ldquo;It is an important paragraph that reaffirms the importance of international cooperation, on the basis of mutual respect, in full compliance with the principles and purposes of the Charter, with full respect for the sovereignty of States while taking into account national priorities,&rdquo; Sharma said.
Sharma referred to the preambular paragraph 8 of the Human Rights Council resolution that pertained to &lsquo;The human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.&rsquo; He also noted that throughout the negotiations, India engaged constructively with an aim to reach a consensual outcome.
While appreciating the efforts of the core group - Costa Rica, the Maldives, Morocco, Slovenia and Switzerland - he said India believes that providing more time to discussions could have helped in bridging the differences and addressing the concerns of various delegations.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the adoption of the &ldquo;historic resolution&rdquo;, saying it demonstrates that the member states can come together in &ldquo;our collective fight against the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
The international community has given universal recognition to this right and brought us closer to making it a reality for all.&rdquo; He however noted that adoption of the resolution is only the beginning and urged states to make the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment a reality for everyone, everywhere.
"The resolution will help reduce environmental injustices, close protection gaps and empower people, especially those that are in vulnerable situations, including environmental human rights defenders, children, youth, women and indigenous peoples. The resolution will also help states accelerate the implementation of their environmental and human rights obligations and commitments.&rdquo; President of the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly Abdulla Shahid said in a tweet that the UNGA adopted a historic resolution that &ldquo;recognised for the first time, that everyone, everywhere, has a human right to live in a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.&rdquo; Sharma stressed that environmental protection is part of India&rsquo;s cultural values and &ldquo;our traditions have for long stressed the importance of living in harmony with nature.&rdquo; He pointed out that at COP26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had proposed a one-word movement, LIFE, a mass movement that influences lifestyle for the environment, promoting mindful and deliberate utilisation of resources instead of mindless and destructive consumption.
&ldquo;India is making rapid strides towards inclusive and overall sustainable development. This is being done both at the national level and globally through international partnerships,&rdquo; he said.
He said that India has worked with partners for significant global initiatives for environmental protection that include the International Solar Alliance, the focus on One Sun, One World, One Grid, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure and Leadership Group for Industry Transition.&nbsp;

India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador T S Tirumurti has told the Ambassador of the Netherlands to the UK that "Kindly don't patronise us," New Delhi "knows what to do" when the Dutch envoy said India should not have abstained in the UN General Assembly on Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian forces launched military operations in Ukraine, three days after Moscow recognised Ukraine's breakaway regions - Donetsk and Luhansk - as independent entities.
Since January this year, India has abstained on procedural votes and draft resolutions in the UN Security Council, the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council that deplored Russian aggression against Ukraine.
“Kindly don’t patronise us, Ambassador. We know what to do,” Tirumurti said in response to a tweet by Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Karel van Oosterom.
In the tweet, the Dutch envoy said to Tirumurti “You should not have abstained in the GA. Respect the UN Charter.” Tirumurti delivered a statement at the UN Security Council meeting Wednesday on Ukraine. He posted the full text of his statement on Twitter saying “At the UN Security Council meeting on #Ukraine this afternoon, I made the following statement” to which van Oosterom made the comment about India abstaining in the General Assembly.
In April, India abstained in the UN General Assembly on a vote moved by the US to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council over allegations that Russian soldiers killed civilians while retreating from towns near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
In March, India abstained from the UN General Assembly on a resolution by Ukraine and its allies on the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, saying the focus should be on cessation of hostilities and on urgent humanitarian assistance and the draft did not fully reflect New Delhi’s expected to focus on these challenges.
On March 2, the General Assembly had voted to reaffirm its commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and deplored in the strongest terms Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
India, along with 34 other nations had abstained from the resolution, which was adopted with 141 votes in favour and five Member States voting against.

President Joe Biden summoned the world's nations to forcefully address the festering global issues of the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change and human rights abuses in his first address before the UN General Assembly.
He decried military conflict and insisted the US is not seeking "a new Cold War&rdquo; with China.
But while stressing to fellow world leaders the urgency of working together, Biden avoided addressing criticism from allies about the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan and a diplomatic tempest with France.
&ldquo;We're opening a new era of relentless diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways of lifting people up around the world,&rdquo; Biden said.
Biden said the US, under his watch, had reached a turning point with the end of military operations in Afghanistan last month, closing out America's longest war. That set the table, he said, for his administration to shift its attention to intensive diplomacy at a moment with no shortage of crises facing the globe.
&ldquo;Today, many of our greatest concerns cannot be solved or even addressed by the force of arms,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Bombs and bullets cannot defend against COVID-19 or its future variants." Biden offered a robust endorsement of the UN's relevance and ambition at a difficult time in history, and sought to reassure wary allies of US cooperation.
He pledged to double US financial aid to poorer countries to help them switch to cleaner energy and cope with the &ldquo;merciless&rdquo; effects of climate change. That would mean increasing assistance to about USD11.4 billion a year. This after five months ago doubling the amount to USD5.7 billion a year.
As part of the fight against climate change, rich nations for many years have promised to spend USD100 billion a year in climate help, but a new study shows that they're USD20 billion a year short. Biden said his new commitment would help rich nations reach their goal.

If you are part of a K-pop band that is a global sensation, fist-bumping presidents of countries may seem like an ordinary day at work! 
BTS met South Korean President Moon Jae-in at his office to collect their appointment papers as special envoys for public diplomacy, and videos of the&nbsp;Bangtan boys fist-bumping their President one by one is going viral.
Last July, the South Korean President had appointed BTS, consisting of RM, Jin, J-Hope, Jimin, Suga, V and Jungkook as Special Presidential Envoys for Future Generations and Culture.

New York, PTI: India on Wednesday said it is "proud" to endorse the US initiative on a joint statement on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration recognises the many differences in national traditions and yet reaffirms fundamental freedoms and rights for all.
A joint statement, issued by the US, on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) said, "On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, We, the above listed signatories of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, established and adopted in 1948, recommit ourselves today to the Declaration and its foundational ideal that certain principles are so fundamental as to apply to all human beings, everywhere, at all times."
"India is proud to endorse the US initiative on the Joint Statement on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," India's Permanent Mission to the UN tweeted.
Other nations joining the US on the statement include Bahrain, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Maldives, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
"We recognise the many differences in our cultural, political, legal, religious, and other traditions, yet reaffirm fundamental freedoms and rights for all, and reassert our commitment to honouring the dignity of all persons that is the basis for our commitments under the UDHR," the joint statement said.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a "milestone document" in the history of human rights.
Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in Paris in December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.
