Le rôle des savoirs autochtones dans la lutte contre le changement climatique, avec Carine Ayélé Durand et Antine Sonde May 27, 2022

Show notes

Les peuples autochtones sont les plus directement touchés par le changement climatique alors qu’ils protègent jusqu’à 80% de la biodiversité de la planète. Comment garantir leur implication dans les politiques internationales alors que la reconnaissance de ces peuples reste, encore aujourd’hui, un défi majeur ?

Dans cet épisode, nous accueillons Carine Ayélé Durand, conservatrice en chef, responsable de l’Unité Collections, et directrice ad intérim du Musée d’ethnographie de Genève (MEG) et Antine Sonde, Senior Fellow auprès de la Section Peuples Autochtones et Minorités du Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies aux droits de l’homme (HCDH), pour parler des peuples autochtones face au changement climatique. Nos invités partagent avec nous des exemples concrets témoignant de l’impact direct du changement climatique sur les peuples autochtones et soulignent la nécessité d’intégrer leurs savoirs dans les prises de décisions.

Show notes

According to statistics from the United Nations, our world is home to 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 to 24, the largest generation of young people in recorded history. What is the role of youth in today’s multilateralism, as we look to the challenges we face in our present and our future?

In this episode, we are joined by Naji Osman, who in 2021 was designated as one of the three Swiss Youth Delegates to the United Nations. Naji is a student and research assistant in the Department of Economics at the University of Zurich, and is actively engaged in global political affairs, economic development and human rights.

Today he speaks with our Director Francesco Pisano, about his views on inclusive engagement, in particular, youth participation in multilateralism and how we can build intergenerational synergy to really make an impact as a global community.

Le multilatéralisme et la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel avec Lazare Eloundou Assomo Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

Alors que les dégâts causés par les guerres et les conflits sont indubitablement dévastateurs, les tentatives de destruction du patrimoine culturel revêtent une valeur symbolique forte. Puissant outil identitaire et unificateur, la culture est fréquemment instrumentalisée lors de conflits armés pour diviser les communautés. Quel rôle peut alors jouer le multilatéralisme pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel ?

Dans cet épisode, nous accueillons Lazare Eloundou Assomo, Directeur du Centre du patrimoine mondial à l’UNESCO et ancien Directeur de l’Entité «Culture et situations d’urgence», pour discuter de cette question. Véritable homme de terrain, il partage son expérience au Mali, où il a mené la reconstruction des mausolées de Tombouctou, et souligne le besoin de mener des actions de terrain pour être au plus près des communautés affectées par les conflits. Enfin, il nous rappelle que la protection du patrimoine culturel est un enjeu de paix et de sécurité global, et nous présente les instruments législatifs et technologiques nécessaires à sa préservation.

Nous vous invitons donc à écouter cet épisode passionnant qui, nous l’espérons, vous rappellera le rôle crucial joué par la culture pour l’ensemble des communautés. Bonne écoute.

It Takes a Global Crisis: Episode 3 - Social Protection Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 3 of 'It Takes a Global Crisis', a series of four special episodes produced by the UN Library & Archives Geneva in collaboration with the SDG Lab. In this episode, we explore social protection.

Host Edward Mishaud is joined by Christina Behrendt, Head of the Social Policy Unit at the International Labour Organization, and Dr. Kate Philip, Programme Lead for the Presidential Employment Stimulus in South Africa.

The COVID-19 pandemic has put social protection in the spotlight, inviting us to reflect on social protection policy not only in times of crisis but also in everyday life. What exactly is social protection? What have we learned from countries’ policy responses to the crisis? How does a robust social protection system contribute to individual, community and collective wellbeing? And what can we learn in order to strengthen these systems for future events?

Did it take a global crisis to highlight the critical and multi-dimensional role of social protection? Let’s find out.

Building A Just World Order, with Dr. Alfred de Zayas Feb 18, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, the #NextPagePod welcomes Dr. Alfred de Zayas, the first person to serve as the UN Human Rights Council's Independent Expert on the Promotion of a Democratic and Equitable International Order, a role he assumed from May 2012 to April 2018.

Dr. de Zayas has a background in history and law, with expertise in civil and political rights. He completed his Juris Doctor at Harvard, and his doctorate in history from the University of Göttingen in Germany. Among his many roles, his latest is as a Professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations.

He joins host Tiffany Verga to share his latest book, Building a Just World Order. What does this mean and why should it matter as we reflect on the future of multilateralism? He shares his experiences as an Independent Expert, which led to 14 reports which he presented to the UN Human Rights Council and the General Assembly. These reports are compiled in his new book, together with 25 principles of international order for the UN system, which he recommends as holistic and interconnected ways for moving forward to ensure peace, human rights and sustainable development for all.

We also hear why he continues to have hope in multilateralism.
