The best protection against food insecurity is peace. And the safest condition for peace is a world with #ZeroHunger. Today, I urged the Seucrity Council to use all tools at its disposal to help prevent & end conflicts, and to stop emerging risks from becoming wider crises of https://t.co/pNFrxPONfT #ZeroHunger #FoodInsecurity #Peace #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
Nearly a decade since the horrific events of 2017, I call for renewed global attention & action to the plight of the Rohingya. Rohingya people in Myanmar, Bangladesh & across the region face deepening insecurity, shrinking protection space and diminishing prospects for durable #Rohingya #HumanRights #Refugees #MM #BD
Idiots, get Ukraine into NATO and we have peace! How many more years of war, hesitation, summits, empty declarations and failed “peace initiatives” does Europe need before understanding the obvious? Ukraine outside NATO means permanent insecurity. It leaves Moscow with the hope https://t.co/5Slo5vbYLx #UkraineNATO #PeaceForUkraine #EndTheWar #UA #RU #NATO
La gestione della sicurezza urbana a Trieste ovvero il fallimento strutturale del populismo penale e la distorsione delle risorse pubbliche... Propongo una riflessione sociologica della situazione a Trieste, città che da storico crocevia multiculturale, si ritrova adesso a fare i conti con fenomeni di insicurezza, intolleranza, chiusura umana, politica e sociale. La trasformazione delle dinamiche di sicurezza nel contesto triestino evidenzia una profonda divergenza tra la percezione politica della minaccia e la reale evoluzione della criminalità urbana. Negli ultimi anni, a partire dall'idea di un muro lungo il confine della regione fino alla recinzione di Piazza Libertà, la gestione dell'ordine pubblico locale ha registrato un costante orientamento delle risorse operative verso il contrasto dei flussi migratori transfrontalieri, affrontati mediante logiche emergenziali anche in assenza di riscontri oggettivi circa una loro pericolosità sociale intrinseca. Tale focalizzazione simbolica non è priva di effetti, anzi, il principale è quello che ha generato il ridimensionamento dei presidi di vigilanza e di controllo all'interno del tessuto cittadino, favorendo l'insorgere di fenomeni di microcriminalità, degrado materiale e devianza diffusa nelle aree centrali e periferiche del territorio urbano. La risposta proposta dalle amministrazioni nazionali, regionali e locali di orientamento conservatore e di destra si è concentrata sulla progressiva marginalizzazione delle politiche di prevenzione sociale, preferendo l'adozione di misure coercitive e l'inasprimento della risposta sanzionatoria. Questa impostazione poggia sul paradigma dell'efficacia della deterrenza penale, un modello teorico ampiamente decostruito dalla ricerca criminologica e giuspenalistica contemporanea. L'evidenza scientifica attesta da tempo che l'aumento della severità delle sanzioni e la repressione meramente reattiva non generano una riduzione della frequenza dei reati, provocando piuttosto lo spostamento della criminalità verso zone meno presidiate e l'incremento dell'insicurezza percepita dalla cittadinanza (Pratt et al., 2006; Tonry, 2018). L'adozione di modelli riconducibili al populismo penale (Wacquant, 2009) risponde all'esigenza di catalizzare il consenso attraverso la costruzione simbolica di una minaccia esterna, incarnata dalla figura del migrante alla frontiera, invece di affrontare la complessità dei problemi sociali urbani. Le analisi empiriche confermano che gli interventi basati esclusivamente sulla militarizzazione e sulla punitività ignorano i fattori causali fondamentali della devianza, quali l'isolamento sociale, la carenza di reti educative territoriali e l'abbandono degli spazi pubblici (Currie, 2007). L'allontanamento delle forze dell'ordine dal controllo capillare del centro urbano triestino in favore del pattugliamento di confine configura, di conseguenza, un fallimento strategico privo di fondamento scientifico. La costruzione di una sicurezza reale ed effettiva richiede l'abbandono della retorica emergenziale, a favore di interventi integrati incentrati sulla prevenzione socio-strutturale, sulla riqualificazione urbana e sulla coesione sociale.

The new @theIPCinfo report is clear: the food security situation in Gaza is at crisis level. 1.9 M people - 9 out of 10 - will face acute food insecurity through 2026 without continued assistance.

As Ukraine builds strategic momentum, the Kremlin’s insecurity is sharpening. This is exactly when pressure bites hardest, and when Russia’s isolation must deepen, not ease. Any pause now would give Moscow what it craves: space to regroup and recalibrate. Ukraine’s partners #Ukraine #Kremlin #RussiaIsolation #UA #RU
Forcible transfer is a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions. Two years on, Palestinian families driven from their homes by settler violence still face insecurity & hardship. This is unacceptable. Israel must meet its international law obligations. States & donors must step up #GenevaConventions #Palestine #HumanRights #IL #PS
