The UNGA is not the only branch of the UN. It has six branches, including the UNSC and ECOSOC. The UN, with all its branches, has been

Saudi-Houthi conflicts have led to concerns. The two Arab parties have been carrying out cross-border strikes and exchanging fire in a sharp escalation over the last few days, leading to several deaths and the displacement of more than 100,000. Renewed conflicts started when the Houthis declared a complete naval blockade on Saudi-linked ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in July 2026. But their renewed conflicts are taking place amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the Iran War and the renewed PLC-Houthi escalation. But — more importantly — how much the renewed Saudi-Houthi conflict will end still remains uncertain.…

The PLC-Houthi renewed conflicts have led to concerns. As per reports from multiple sources, including the BBC and CNN, the Houthi group, which has been fighting against the government forces for years, has renewed its strikes and captured a key island in the Red Sea from the government forces (PLC). This has raised concerns about

Rising tensions between Europe and Russia have led to concerns. As per reports from multiple sources, including the BBC and CNN, several developments, including failed explosives-laden drone attack targeting Germany’s Leipzig, over the last few months have increased tensions between Europe and Russia. But how much tensions will be reduced in the coming days remains

Rising maritime piracy by Somali pirates has led to concern. Maritime piracy has increased in Somalia over the last few years. But it has increased amid the shipping crisis in the Middle East due to the Iran War. Two cargo vessels were seized in the Gulf of Aden within four days last week, rising to 13-15 attacks or targeted incidents — as of mid-2026 — and leading to the biggest escalation in maritime hijackings in more than a decade. This has increased threats to shipping, which is already under pressure in the Gulf of Aden. However, uncertainty remains about how…

Drug trafficking is one of the major concerns all over the world. Drug trafficking is worth billions of dollars (roughly $400 billion to $500 billion) every year globally. In drug trafficking, drug cartels are responsible, and there are thousands of drug cartels all over the world. Hopefully saying, the government, international organizations, and others take measures to fight drug trafficking and drug cartels. But global drug trafficking has not reduced much, though it has reduced in some nations. Moreover, human development is not desirably taken into consideration in fighting drug trafficking and drug cartels most often, leading to concerns. Human…

The proposal by the President of South Korea for talks is a praiseworthy and promising development in the strained relationship between Seoul and Pyongyang. President Lee Jae Myung offered talks to formally end the conflict, which has been technically ongoing for decades, with North Korea, along with discussing practical ways of halting Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions. This is not a surprising move by the South Korean President — who promised to improve the strained relationship between the two parties earlier — but how much the complicated Seoul-Pyongyang relationship will be improved remains uncertain. Various reasons have been playing a role in the continuation of…

Saudi-Houthi tensions that have led to the crisis in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait have added a new dimension to the crisis in oil shipments from the Middle East. The Houthis, a political and armed group in Yemen carried out air attacks on oil refineries on the Red Sea coast and ships of Saudi Arabia amid

Sudan conflicts have been going on for more than three years. In the war, more than 150 thousand people have been killed, and more than 12 million people have been displaced so far from the capital city and other areas. But there is no indication of ending the Sudan war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by General Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, and there is a failure of peace efforts, though its extent has reduced. More importantly, it remains uncertain whether the war will end soon. But optimistically…

Peace deals have been reached in the Gaza war and the Israel-Lebanon war, increasing the chance of peace. These two deals, the 20-point peace deal and the 14-point peace deal, have nearly ended more than two years-long conflicts in the Gaza Strip and the Lebanon war, respectively, to a larger extent and have the potential to end the
