Palestinian and Global Civil Society Call for a Global Day of Action and Strike September 18th, 2025

On September 18, 2024, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted Resolution A/ES-10/L.31, demanding Israel end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) within 12 months and to immediately comply with the provisional measures in the genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Since then Israel has entrenched its occupation and escalated its genocidal attacks on Gaza causing the United Nations to declare famine in Gaza. The Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO) and Global Civil Society is calling for a Global Strike and Day of Action on September 18, 2025, to denounce Israel’s refusal to comply with this order, and to demand that UN member nations act immediately to end Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

Citizen Barometer of Peace and Security in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Produced and directed by the Pamoja kwa Amani Consortium, C-PKA / with the support of PAEMA, Special Issue of August 21, 2025 for the special attention of the members of the United Nations Security Council.

From the security and peace index in the provinces of North and South Kivu:

There is no peace, let alone security, in the entire two provinces. Everyday it is not known if we will survive. Getting through a day, sleeping, and waking up alive is currently a miracle. Attacks against peaceful citizens have become commonplace. Killings, assassinations, massacres, forced deportations, torture, and flagrant violations of human rights have reached unbearable proportions.

Bearing Witness: Reflections from the World Conference against A and H Bombs

By Philip Jennings, IPB Co-President

“I forget things easily, but I can’t forget that day. I want to, but I can’t. I need to hand down my experience. Until the age of 80, I refused to speak about August 6, but now I do. I was 15. I worked in a tobacco factory; we were 600 metres from the epicentre. There was a white light, then a blast which rocked me. I had a moment to seek shelter that saved me, but my friends did not. There were fires and bodies everywhere. Children and adults with skin covered in blisters. The skin was hanging from their bodies. Children were crying, and then silence as their hearts stopped. I collected the bodies, and we made funeral pyres day after day.”

These words from a Hibakusha were shared at the 2025 Gensuikyo A & H conference in Hiroshima. The audience listened in respectful silence, with many tears being shed.

Global Day of Education to #CloseBases

World BEYOND War launched a campaign on the Global Day of Education to #CloseBases, inviting organizations and individuals worldwide to plan local educational events about military bases on October 4, 2025.

The thousands of military bases, both foreign and domestic, around the world are a critical piece of the war machine that must be dismantled. Closing bases is a necessary step to shift the global security paradigm towards a demilitarized approach that centers common security — no one is safe until all are safe.
