Baghdad, 30 January 2025 – The United Nations and the Government of Iraq launched today the second phase of the ONE UN Plan, titled “New Beginnings”, a comprehensive framework aimed at facilitating the safe, voluntary, and dignified return, rehabilitation, and reintegration of Iraqi nationals from Al-Hol and Al-Roj camps in northeastern Syria.

The event, held at Al-Nahrain Center in Baghdad, was attended by senior representatives of the Government of Iraq, the United Nations, the diplomatic community, and international partners. Speaking at the ceremony, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq and Head of UNAMI Dr. Mohamed Al Hassan stated: “Iraq’s leadership, in facilitating the return of its citizens from northeastern Syria, sets a global positive precedent. This comprehensive and courageous initiative has been praised by the highest levels in the United Nations, including the Secretary-General himself.” He added: “It is time to close this file and turn the page on ISIS threats. It is a challenging project and solving it in accordance with international standards and in a manner that commensurate with the level of this country that has shaped the civilization of humanity is evidence of Iraq’s recovery.”

For his part, the National Security Advisor Mr. Qassim al-Araji thanked all government and international partners for their efforts, emphasizing the importance of accelerating the return process and closing Al-Hol camp. He also urged international partners to continue supporting Iraq in this effort.

Baghdad, Iraq – January 15, 2025 – Today, the United Nations in Iraq officially launched the UN Youth Advisory Council (UNYAC), an initiative designed to ensure the active participation of Iraqi youth in shaping UN initiatives, programs, and development efforts in Iraq.

The council is made up of 13 young leaders aged 17–24, selected through a rigorous and competitive process. It includes members from varied social, educational, and economic backgrounds, ensuring inclusivity and broad representation.

“This Youth Advisory Council represents our commitment to amplify the voices of Iraqi youth, ensuring their creativity, energy and ideas contribute to Iraq’s sustainable development,” said Mr. Ghulam Isaczai, Deputy Special Representative for Iraq, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator.

Speaking at the launch event, he added, “Young people deserve better opportunities and a stronger voice in decision-making. The Council is a chance for Iraqi youth to directly influence the work of the UN, ensuring our programs are inclusive, relevant, and effective.”

The UNYAC aligns with the UN Youth Strategy 2030, which aims to engage young people as equal partners in peace, human rights, and sustainable development. Through this platform, young Iraqis will play a meaningful role in shaping policies, monitoring progress, and contributing to critical issues such as climate change, education, employment, governance and other issues affecting their daily lives.

The event also featured a video message from Mr. Felipe Paullier, Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs, who underscored the significance of the newly established Youth Advisory Council. He hailed it as a transformative step toward amplifying youth participation in Iraq and reaffirmed his office’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Council in its efforts.

Baghdad, Abo Hanifa Holy Shrine, 29 December 2024

May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon you.

Today, we were honored first by visiting the shrine of Imam Abu Hanifa al-Nu’man, by whose pure soil the city of Baghdad was honored. Imam Abu Hanifa is followed by more than a billion Muslims around the world. Second, I was honored by meeting a group of distinguished sheikhs from the Fiqh Council of Senior Scholars to Preaching and Iftaa’(Verdicts), in whom I sensed wisdom and benevolence, and a deep sense of belonging and concern for this dear country, and for its past, present and future. This visit was an opportunity to discuss with their eminences and sheikhs the pressing issues facing Iraq and the region at this sensitive stage, and I conveyed to them the greetings of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and his wishes for their success and progress.

At the beginning of my speech, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the Fiqh Council for the warm reception with which I was met, which reflects the strength of the relationship between the United Nations and religious institutions in Iraq, a relationship that has always been based on cooperation to enhance security, peace and stability for Iraq.

During the meeting, we discussed the current situation in Iraq and the region, and I stressed the importance of dealing with matters wisely and calmly, putting Iraq’s interests at the forefront in the face of challenges that may undermine Iraq’s advancement and prosperity. We touched upon the multiple crises that affect stability in Iraq, whether in terms of security, political or social

challenges, in addition to the tensions in the region that require continuous coordination between countries and regional and international institutions.

We also discussed the situation in Gaza…

Union County Advances Green Acres Grant Projects to Enhance Community Parks & Recreation

The Union County Board of County Commissioners is proud to announce the submission of three Green Acres NJDEP Grant applications for 2025. These applications, facilitated through the Union County Open Space, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Trust Fund, aim to enhance and expand recreational opportunities across the County. The projects include an inclusive playground at Unami Park located in the Borough of Garwood and Town of Westfield, improvements to Wheeler Spray Park in the City of Linden, and an upcoming Stewardship Grant initiative at the Deserted Village of Feltville, located in the Watchung Reservation in the Township of Berkeley Heights.

“The Union County Board of County Commissioners is dedicated to ensuring that all of our residents, regardless of their abilities or where they live, have access to high-quality recreational spaces,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “These Green Acres grants highlight our commitment to promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and environmental stewardship throughout our parks system. We are proud to lead the way in creating spaces where families and individuals can gather, play, and enjoy the outdoors together.”

As part of the ongoing renovations at Unami Park, located in the municipalities of Garwood and Westfield, the existing playground will be updated to comply with the standards outlined in Jake’s Law. Passed in 2018, Jake’s Law encourages the development of inclusive playgrounds that exceed ADA standards, ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities. These renovations represent a significant step forward in creating recreational spaces that are welcoming and accessible to all residents of Union County.

In addition, Wheeler Spray Park in the City of Linden is slated for substantial upgrades under the 2025 Urban Park Green Acres Grant Program guidelines. This initiative focuses on urban parks in communities that face adverse cumulative stressors, promoting restorative and accessible recreational spaces….

Iran FM, UN special envoy to Iraq discuss regional developments

 

TABNAK, Dec 18: During the meeting the two sides emphasized preventing the spread of insecurity and instability in the region.

 

During the meeting, Al Hassan gave a report on the most important activities of the UNAMI.

 

The two sides also highlighted the need for cooperation and coordination among regional countries to stop further insecurity and instability in the region.

Since the fall of the Syrian president, the Israeli army continues to seize more territory in the Arab state, after occupying Jabal Sheikh (Mount Hermon) and the buffer zone in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

The occupation forces are now only 15 kilometers away from the international highway between Damascus and Beirut.

Moreover, the UN’s refugee agency estimates that around 560,000 individuals have sought refuge in Syria, fleeing Lebanon since September 23, after the Israeli army intensified its air attack on Lebanon in an escalation of conflict with Hezbollah.

Israel launched relentless air and ground attacks on Gaza, including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship, after Palestinian resistance movements carried out an unprecedented military operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood against the regime on October 7, 2023.

At least 44,176 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed while 104,473 individuals have sustained injuries.

Hezbollah opened a support front for Palestinians in Gaza only a day after the Israeli regime unleashed its genocidal war against the besieged territory last October.

After the Israeli regime conducted a series of attacks involving pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon in September, it intensified its aggression against Hezbollah, resulting in significant loss of life and destruction.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, at least 3,670 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Arab country since October 2023.

In late September, the regime also assassinated Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a strike in southern Beirut.
