After days of negotiations in the European Council, the heads of state or government have agreed to base future cooperation on the existing Security Action for Europe governance framework (SAFE), rather than adopting an entirely new one. Over the course of the summit, discussions were rocky. Whilst European Council president António Costa was pressing on discussing a governance framework, the majority of the politicians much rather preferred to discuss “European” Security and

During the afternoon session at APEC, the delegate of Australia received an urgent call from their grandfather. The delegate was heard frantically referring to a farm and asking about their grandfather's safety. The call was then cut abruptly. AP reached out to Australia to get more information on the situation. The safety of Australia’s grandfather is unknown at this time. This caused commotion in the otherwise peaceful committee, sparking conversation about the individual

The NATO committee closed on Sunday afternoon with their communiqué and draft resolutions amended. The delegates found common ground in partnership, expanding their presence in the Arctic. Albania Albania led with a controversial take: proposing a subpoint to have an open dialogue on reinstating Russian membership in UNCLOS. “Albania wants negotiation with Russia and this UN body seems relevant…using a UN institution to ensure smooth sailing between Russia and NATO to pre

Yesterday, in the ICC, as the case against Tony Blair soldiers on, the prosecution began bringing in their expert witnesses for rounds of cross-examination and testimony. The prosecutions’ witnesses included: (1.) Lt. Col. Nicholas Mercer, the Chief Legal Officer for the British Forces during the invasion and whistleblower of torture; (2.) Wolfgang Kaleck, General Secretary, Co-Founder and Representative of the ECCHR; and (3.) Sir William Gage, the Chairman of the Baha Mousa

On Saturday, the APEC committee continued their diplomatic amendments to the resolution sponsored by Singapore, Canada, and the United States. The main points of discussion concern vague phrasing, feasibility and implementation for lower-income economies present. Notably, these points were raised by The Philippines, New Zealand and Peru, who seemed pleased with the sponsors' clarification. All points to a successful majority agreement once needed amendments are made.

Following the seizure of Batista drug vessel off the coast of Florida yesterday evening, FBI investigators have disclosed Andrés Rivero Agüero, current Head of Senate, complicit with the illegal movement of the narcotics. In the investigation of crew members manning the ship, they admitted to being contacted by American financier and tourism investor Meyer Lansky, who although now has a tumultuous relationship with Agüero has been in their long-term cohort and favor. In a st

Lafufus continue to flood the European Union and the United Kingdom, seriously risking the safety of children and adult Labubu enthusiasts. An anonymous tip tells the ONION that most politicians in the European Council feel too important to address this issue in their conclusion on EU-UK relations. Labubu dolls allegedly make up 90% of fake toys seized at the UK border, with three out of four of these fakes failing safety tests, containing banned chemicals, and posing severe

The United Nations Security Council in the early days of the summit, voted to invoke Article 27(3) of the UN Charter, stripping China of its right to vote on the Taiwan Strait crisis. The provision, which bars parties directly involved in a dispute from casting a substantive vote, was put forward by Taiwan. It passed with exactly nine votes in favour, the bare minimum required for a procedural motion of this nature. For delegates unfamiliar with the committee's backdrop: th

Saturday evening in the UNHCR, Xi Jinping arrived with a translator and delivered remarks through a theatrical back-and-forth, denying opposition to climate refugees while reaffirming China’s friendship with Pakistan. When questioned by Costa Rica about accepting UN oversight to prevent corruption, China rejected the premise outright, insisting corruption “does not exist” in China. They then responded to the UK’s request to cease the nations illegal surveilliance by asking, “

On Saturday afternoon in the DISEC Summit, heads of state and government continue work on their JCPOA Draft. Saudi Arabia and Yemen explain they are adding a completely new withdrawal clause and a monitoring mechanism, Yemen stating, “the withdrawal clause is especially important to prevent political opportunism.” Iran also told AP reporters that the new draft will include IAEA inspections and allow video surveillance and recording on its grounds from “friendly countries,” t

In a brazen display of proficiency and expertise, the Russian Federation representative in the WHO made an ill-example of a U.S. politician and member of the U.S. President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, Brad Wenstrup. Invited to the World Health Organization (WHO) on Saturday to speak about a prospective bill by the State of California, the lack of attention and knowledge on global affairs was apparent. The bill proposed would largely cut university funding for work with fo

Friday afternoon, FUNSC stripped China of its voting power. This was made possible by Article 27(3) of the UN Charter which requires a party to a dispute to abstain from voting. The motion was proposed by Taiwan as states feared that Russia and China would veto every SC attempt to draft a resolution. Beijing's response was immediate: economic threats against the supporting states; setting the tone for a tense morning of unmoderated caucus exchanges between China and the nine

“Let me do what I do best…connect people.” “The Meta Beta” Zuckerberg shuffled to the podium, blinked at the audience in his signature 'I-have-definitely-studied-human-expressions' way, and cleared his throat. Zuckerbug explained that META does indeed support small regulations, but nothing "too strong," or his friends at the White House can’t post their moronic AI-generated photos. Perhaps the most profound takeaway from the afternoon was Zucc's stirring analogy that innovat

On Saturday afternoon, the Indian delegation visited an APEC summit, emphazizing the superiority of its domestic rice production and moved to tears as he ate his last grains of rice. The APEC summit has made developments in potential cooperation on the creation of a common rice reserve. The Indian Delegation concluded it would be open to knowledge sharing on rice production.

On Saturday, Argentina proposed an EU-like economic integration for MERCOSUR countries, referring to it as the “best practice.” This received a storm of complaints from the rest of the present countries, with Uruguay declaring, “let’s just stop talking about that!” In a statement to the Rappler, Uruguay questioned Argentina’s proposal, saying “they have a very high inflation, so how can they propose more integration?“ Argentina later clarified, “it only meant deeper econom

The European Parliament committee had another tech tycoon in their midst. Mark Zuckerberg came to speak with the delegates in regard to strong AI regulations and their infringement on social media and democracy. The MEP’s deliberations could reshape how platforms like Meta operate across Europe.

In a press conference held in the European Council earlier today, discussion heated up as talks of a removal of Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETA) and European Travel Information and Authorization Systems (ETIAS) were brought up by reporters of Politico EU. When asked about the possibly discriminatory nature of this policy towards third country nationals, particularly Ukrainians, the atmosphere in the room swiftly soured. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar proudly anno

On Saturday morning, SPECPOL representatives engaged in more concrete discussions regarding possible screening mechanisms for multinational corporations (MNC’s) to support transparency. The delegation of Cameroon, Chad, and Ethiopia champions this conversation. Notably, Cameroon addresses some of the possible concerns of these mechanisms for African nations that want to remain attractive to MNC’s, reassuring that these measures would aim for neutral and fair cooperation and

Before convening for lunch, the Romanian MEP from Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and the Polish representative from European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) went head-to-head in their committee meeting to establish who is in control of artificial intelligence regulations. The primary concern at the time of discussing their amendments to Articles 2, 6, and 12. Both members represent opposing sides of the political spectrum, a likely cause of the c

As yesterday’s heated deliberations drew to an end, MERCOSUR member states remained unable to reach consensus on trade diversification. While some states advocated for strengthening internal commerce and reducing trade barriers within MERCOSUR, others pushed firmly for greater trade diversification. This inability of member states to reach an agreement defines the internal fragmentation of the Union, as the delegation of Uruguay noted, ”holds a great potential but is riddled

[Op-ed] Yesterday, in the Hague, the ICC administered the case against Tony Blair, for his role in facilitating various human rights violations against Iraqi civilians during the occupation of Iraq by the U.S. & UK. The court is ruling, now in 2020, because of the various legal and jurisdictional barriers to the ICC for trying Blair in the past. The prosecution brings three charges against Blair, including (1.) committing war crimes and crimes against humanity under internat

On Friday’s afternoon session of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee, tensions broke out as the United Kingdom delegation was questioned on its interests and legitimacy in the committee. In a discussion surrounding the nationalization of natural resources, the strengthening of national infrastructure, and foreign investment reliance, the latter point was brought up by Ethiopia, which signalled the idyllic nature of idealizing renewable energy infrastructure wi

Trust between China and the U.S. is crumbling on a late Thursday afternoon in APEC, as China reveals having to ban over 80% of its exports of the highly demanded nitrogen-potassium fertilizer because of the U.S. involvement in the Iran War. China is among the largest fertilizer exporters with wide global reach. Confronted by China in APEC, the U.S. refused to take responsibility, stating, “this has nothing to do with APEC and should not be discussed.” In an interview with Ra

In the early afternoon, the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) voted with a sweeping majority of states to restore IAEA inspection and regulations. In the light of current re-militarisation and ongoing international tensions, the DISEC countries all favored the reimplementation of IAEA inspection and regulations, arguing that transparency and trust is essential for sustainable multilateral agreements. China further added that transparency shows countrie

The economic situation in Cuba has created haphazardous conditions for the poor, devastating both urban and rural regions. The Cuban population must realize with the economy down, how can our government make promises on food stamps and free education? Our government, in all of their ill-intent, has run the country into the ground. With an increase in gas prices and national debt, social support for any institutions are faltering. Money for proposed initiatives have no legal f

NATO member states have ramped up pressure on Russia’s legitimate presence in the Arctic, with officials calling for Moscow to scale back its activities in the region. This demand has been condemned as legally baseless and politically motivated by Russian officials and independent analysts. In a meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation earlier today, countries such as the Netherlands, Poland, and the United States claimed Russia’s presence in the Arctic represents a

Following a short break for lunch, the European Parliament reconvened in the hemicycle to continue debating democracy and artificial intelligence. Before MEPs could resume discussions, they were treated to a surprise appearance: Elon Musk, businessman and former Senior Advisor to the President of the United States. In a somewhat incoherent string of thoughts which left politicians somewhere between disbelief and amusement, the tech-tycoon admitted to being uncertain of what

This morning, UNHCR continued their debate on the question of who should bear the cost of climate change. The conversation revealed two parallel failures: a legal framework that leaves climate refugees without protection, and a burden-sharing logic that asks the least responsible to pay an equal price. Until both are addressed, the gap between international law and climate justice will only widen. Pakistan's primary proposal was to expand the 1951 Refugee Convention to incl

Friday, Fulgencio Batista announced alongside advisors that the Cuban government has been working tirelessly in arranging nationwide military celebrations and a three-day music festival by American singer, Frank Sinatra. These events they claim are not only a projection in soft-power against the Communist Rebels, but ultimately bolster Cuba’s positioning as an economic superpower in Central America. In an earlier statement dismissing any claims that the government is compli

In the moderated NATO caucus on Friday morning, the U.S. asked NATO allies for help in protecting the Arctic from Russian-Chinese movements. Promptly after, Canada reminds the U.S. that they are choosing to be there, calling their involvement in global affairs “self-inflicted” and “stretching themselves too thin.” Canada reminds fellow delegates of the U.S.’s risk to the Arctic, per previous statements and declarations, including threats to “own” Greenland, and labeling the

This morning, the ICC in the Hague administered the case against Tony Blair, for his role in facilitating various human rights violations against Iraqi civilians during the occupation of Iraq by the U.S.-UK coalition. Defense and prosecution have provided opening statements; the prosecution seeking to bring Blair to justice for war atrocities and the defense to distinguish Blair’s role from individual-soldier responsibility. As the case unravels, the results and decision of

Within the first morning of negotiations at the Future UN Security Council, one proposition by Brazil and the Netherlands gathered support from major players. The referred to bridge proposition forefronts transparency, negotiation, and de-escalation. Brazil highlights the need for transparency in military action and crisis management to avoid possible escalations. The delegation affirms that transparency does not diminish state sovereignty, but rather decreases the risk of mi
