Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo calls for unity and action in the Security Council to slow the negative trajectory on the Korean Peninsula

In her briefing to the Security Council on 2 June, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo reported on the recent satellite launch using ballistic missile technology by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. She conveyed the Secretary-General’s strong condemnation of the launch and call to swiftly resume dialogue to achieve the goal of sustainable peace and the complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. “Key peace and security issues, such as the situation on the Korean Peninsula, must be an area for cooperation,” she said, noting that the lack of unity and action in the Security Council does little to slow the negative trajectory on the Korean Peninsula.

Do you know what a Strawberry Moon is? Here’s how it got its name & how to see it

It’s the season of sweetness and even the moon agrees.

The Strawberry Moon is coming and you don’t want to miss your best chance at seeing June’s full moon.

When you can see it

June’s Strawberry Moon will reach peak illumination at 11:43 p.m. (eastern time), according to Jesse Emspak of space.com.

If you are in a different time zone, check online to see when the full moon will be illuminated in your area.

How it got its name

Sure, strawberries are a bright red color, but the origin of the Strawberry Moon’s name didn’t necessarily come from this thought.

According to the Farmers Almanac: “This ‘Strawberry Moon’ name has been used by Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern United States as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples to mark the ripening of ‘June-bearing’ strawberries that are ready to be gathered.”

Of course, you may catch a glimpse of the reddish color on the full moon anyway, as moons often look red due to light rays passing through layers of the atmosphere.

Other names for this full moon are:

  • Birth Moon for when certain animals are born

  • Blooming Moon because of the flowers during the season

  • Honey Moon because of the many marriages that occur during the month of June

Tips for viewing full moons

If you are planning to view the full moon, here are a few tips:

  • Find a quiet, open area away from lights

  • Bring a telescope if you want to see it up close.

  • Don’t look at your phone too much; your eyes won’t adjust to see the moon in the night sky

Are you planning on watching this full moon? Comment below and let us know.

ISHM: May 25 – June 1, 2023

Key Takeaways:

  • Draft Budget Changes Raise Strong KRG Objections; Iraq’s Top Court Says Extending The Kurdistan Parliament’s Term Was Unconstitutional – On May 25, the parliamentary finance committee made several last minute amendments to the 2023-2025 federal budget bill. The changes, which require the KRG to compensate public servants for withholdings made during the region’s economic crisis that began in 2015, raised strong objections from the KRG. Regional PM Masrour Barzani accused the finance committee of trying to derail existing agreements with PM Sudani Sudani, which he said were “the foundation” of cooperation between Baghdad and Erbil. Barzani argued that the withholdings should be repaid by the federal government since they were the result of Baghdad’s decision to cut the KRG budget. The finance committee’s changes seem to have the support of the PUK. On May 30, Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court ruled that a vote by the Kurdistan region’s parliament in October of last year to extend its term by one year was illegal, rendering the regional legislature’s fifth cycle “over” and any decisions it made after the extension “constitutionally invalid.” The case challenging the extension was filed at the time by the New Generation opposition party. In response to the Court’s decision, the ruling KDP issued a statement calling on all Kurdish parties to “cooperate to hold transparent and fair elections.” In other developments, on May 30, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2682, extending UNAMI’s mandate for one year. On May 30, Iraq’s Planning Ministry said that conducting a population census will not be possible this year, citing delays in approving the federal budget as the main reason. more…
