Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the UN "has become a moral farce", and called the Human Rights Council a 'joke' as he was gave his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Thursday. The 71st annual UNGA takes place in the UN's New York City headquarters between Tuesday 20 and Monday 26 September.
Faced with the explosion of artificial intelligence, which is arousing both enthusiasm and concern, the UN General Assembly adopts its first resolution on this sensitive social issue. The text, prepared by the United States and co-sponsored by dozens of countries, was adopted without a vote, by consensus, after several months of negotiations. IMAGES
The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly passes a non-binding resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza -- a call the paralyzed Security Council has so far failed to make, piling pressure on Israel and Washington. The body, which includes all 193 UN member nations, voted 153 in favor of the resolution, exceeding the 140 or so countries that have routinely backed resolutions condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Ten countries, including the United States and Israel, voted against, while 23 abstained. IMAGES
