Delhi | At the 47th Sapru House Lecture, Permanent Representative of India to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj says, "It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it.
And it isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it.
Today, as we gather under the theme of multilateralism and peace, prosperity, progress and sustainability, we are not just discussing peace, we are committing to it, believing in it and most importantly working towards it.
India, as a land where ancient wisdom coalesces with modern aspirations, embodies the spirit of multilateralism..."

An Indian UN worker lost his life in Gaza after a targeted attack on a UN vehicle in Rafah, marking the first international casualty in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The incident highlights the risks faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, emphasising the need to protect humanitarian workers. Indian UN representative Ruchira Kamboj condemned civilian casualties and emphasised adherence to international law. The attack follows the UN's backing of Palestinian membership bid, with 143 countries, including India, voting for recognition, prompting a call for reconsideration by the Security Council after a US veto last month.

UN Warns Global , Wildlife Crime , Driving Global Extinctions.
'The Guardian' reports that over
4,000 species from around the world
are the targets of wildlife traffickers. .
According to a United Nations report,
this causes "untold harm upon nature.".
The report found that 40% of all
the animals targeted are on the red list
of threatened or nearly threatened species.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) report
found that the trade, driven by demand for medicine,
pets and trophies, is active in over 80% of countries.
Despite gaps in knowledge
about the full extent of wildlife
trafficking and associated crime,
there is sufficient evidence to
conclude that this remains
a significant global problem
far from being resolved, UNODC report, via 'The Guardian'.

Wildlife trade was found to be the driving
factor in both local and global extinctions,
including rare orchids, reptiles and fish.
Wildlife crime inflicts untold harm
upon nature, and it also jeopardizes
livelihoods, public health, good
governance and our planet’s
ability to fight climate change, Ghada Waly, Executive director of UNODC, via 'The Guardian'.
Researchers warn that wildlife crime is often
linked to organized crime, with corruption playing a critical role in impeding efforts to stop trafficking. .
'The Guardian' reports that this corruption can
take the form of bribes paid to inspectors and
government officials in exchange for fake permits.

Delhi Police has booked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's PA Bibhav Kumar for molestation and attempted culpable homicide after AAP MP Swati Maliwal's complaint. DNA
The Swati Maliwal assault case took a dramatic turn late Saturday night when Delhi’s Tis Hazari Court placed the accused, Bibhav Kumar, in five-day police custody. Kumar, who serves as the personal assistant to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, was arrested, prompting Kejriwal to announce a massive Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protest at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Delhi. As the protest began, several AAP leaders were detained by the Delhi Police, and Section 144 was imposed on DDU Marg, where the BJP headquarters are located. Amidst the chaos, Kejriwal accused the ruling party of orchestrating "Operation Jhaadu," a purported mission aimed at arresting all AAP leaders. He emphasised that this operation was part of a larger strategy by the BJP to undermine and dismantle the AAP leadership.
