The United Nations has rebuked the home secretary's "concerning" criticisms of the refugee convention during her speech in Washington. Suella Braverman claimed the 1951 convention had lowered the threshold so asylum seekers only needed to prove they faced discrimination, rather than a risk of torture, violence or death. She added the international community had "failed" to modernise international laws and deal with an "existential challenge". UNHCR Representative to the United Kingdom Vicky Tennant responded to Braverman's claims saying, "the spirit of the refugee convention is very much based on international cooperation" and that it would be worrying "if there were to be serious efforts to restrict the interpretation of the refugee convention" or to step away from its obligations.

Starting next year, the self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will no longer exist, as its president has issued a decree to dissolve all state institutions in the aftermath of its defeat by Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani victory led to a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh and marked the conclusion of long-standing conflicts. President Samvel Shahramanyan's decree mandates the dissolution of all institutions and organizations of the Republic of Artsakh, an entity not internationally recognized, by the beginning of the upcoming year.

Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly published his first recruitment video for the Wagner Group since organising a short-lived mutiny against defence officials in Russia. Prigozhin had moved into the global spotlight in June with a dramatic, short-lived rebellion that posed the most serious threat to President Vladimir Putin of the Russian leader’s 23-year rule. In the video, which was posted Monday on Telegram messaging app channels which are believed to be affiliated with Prigozhin, a person who appears to be the 62-year-old mercenary leader says the Wagner Group is conducting recon and search activities, and “making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even more free”. The person who appears to be Prigozhin in the video also says Wagner is, "giving Isis, al-Qaeda and other gangsters hell" in temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius.
