RUEDA DE PRENSA DEL SERVICIO DE INFORMACIÓN DE LAS NACIONES UNIDAS
12 de enero de 2024
Alessandra Vellucci del Servicio de Información de las Naciones Unidas(UNIS) en Ginebra, presidió la rueda de prensa híbrida, a la que asistieron los portavoces y representantes de la Oficina del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos, la Oficina de Coordinación de Asuntos Humanitarios, el Fondo de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia, la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Organización Meteorológica Mundial.
Situación de Israel y el Territorio Palestino Ocupado, 100 días después
Elizabeth Throssell, de la Oficina del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos (ACNUDH), dijo que este domingo marcaría 100 días desde que Hamás y otros grupos armados palestinos lanzaron su ataque horroroso contra Israel, en el que murieron 1.200 personas, en su mayoría israelíes, y alrededor de 250 fueron tomadas como rehenes. Durante las últimas 14 semanas, mientras Israel había llevado a cabo una respuesta militar, más de 23.000 palestinos habían sido asesinados, alrededor de dos tercios de ellos mujeres y niños. Como el Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos, Volker Türk, había instado repetidamente, era necesario un alto el fuego inmediato por razones humanitarias y de derechos humanos. La Oficina había destacado repetidamente las recurrentes fallas de Israel en cumplir con los principios fundamentales del derecho internacional humanitario durante las hostilidades, subrayando que el incumplimiento de estas obligaciones implicaba la exposición a responsabilidad por crímenes de guerra.

As services expand across least developed countries, UNCTAD’s latest LDC Report questions whether they can deliver real transformation. At today’s launch, Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan highlights that services are not a shortcut to development: their impact depends on strong links to productive sectors, investment in skills and infrastructure, and supportive trade and investment policies. Without these conditions, the growth of services risks deepening exclusion rather than fostering prosperity. UNCTAD / UNTV CH
