                       2019 Global Hunger Index (GHI)

                              The 2019 Global Hunger Index (GHI) shows that 
while the world has made gradual progress in reducing hunger on a global 
scale since 2000, this progress has been uneven. Hunger persists in many 
countries, and in some instances progress is even being reversed.

                              The number of people who are undernourished 
actually rose from 785 million in 2015 to 822 million in 2018. South Asia 
and Africa South of the Sahara are the regions with the highest 2019 GHI 
scores. According to the 2019 GHI, of the countries for which data are 
available, one country, the Central African Republic, suffers from a level 
of hunger that is extremely alarming, while four others—Chad, Madagascar, 
Yemen, and Zambia—suffer from levels of hunger that are alarming. Out of the 
117 countries that were ranked, 43 have serious levels of hunger.

                       A Million People Are Jailed at China's Gulags. I 
Managed to Escape. Here's What Really Goes on Inside

                              Stockholm, 17 October 2019- Rape, torture and 
human experiments. Sayragul Sauytbay offers firsthand testimony from a 
Xinjiang 'reeducation' camp.

                              An article by David Stavrou reporting for 
Haaretz documents in detail what goes on in China’s "re-education camps" in 
the Xinjiang Autonomous Region.
                              Twenty prisoners live in one small room. They 
are handcuffed, their heads shaved, every move is monitored by ceiling 
cameras. A bucket in the corner of the room is their toilet. The daily 
routine begins at 6 A.M. They are learning Chinese, memorizing propaganda 
songs and confessing to invented sins. They range in age from teenagers to 
elderly. Their meals are meager: cloudy soup and a slice of bread. Torture – 
metal nails, fingernails pulled out, electric shocks – takes place in the 
“black room.” Punishment is a constant. The prisoners are forced to take 
pills and get injections. It’s for disease prevention, the staff tell them, 
but in reality they are the human subjects of medical experiments. Many of 
the inmates suffer from cognitive decline. Some of the men become sterile. 
Women are routinely raped.

                       Venezuela wins a seat on the U.N. Human Rights 
Council

                              New York, 17 October 2019 – The government of 
President Nicolás Maduro won a seat Thursday on the U.N. Human Rights 
Council, a controversial victory for a regime accused of using intimidation, 
torture and murder to cling to power. The Nonviolent Radical Party, 
Transnational and Transparty, as many other NGOs had launched an appeal  to 
call on democratic Governments worldwide to support the last-minute bid of 
Costa Rica to counter the regime’s move.

                       The weakness of the UN Security Council

                              The urgent meeting of the United Nations 
Security Council, requested by five European countries (Germany, Belgium, 
France, Poland and the United Kingdom) after the announcement of the 
beginning of the Turkish offensive in the North-East of Syria, it was 
inconclusive and ineffective

                              It has also failed in the formal intention of 
a joint declaration on the Turkish offensive by European countries.

                              The Secretary-General’s reference to Security 
Council Resolution 2254/2015   is a dead letter.

                              Revising its composition and functioning, 
within a wide reform of the United Nations, is necessary and urgent.

                       “Think of your family”: China threatens European 
citizens over Xinjiang protests

                              The Guardian, 17 October 2019 – Uighurs living 
in Germany, the Nederlands, Finland, Sweden, and France have complained of 
intimidation by Beijing. Adrian Zenz, an independent researcher who focuses 
on Xinjiang, said European governments needed to do more to protect their 
citizens from Chinese intimidation. “The biggest mistake European Union 
countries make is that once they allow China to get away with something, 
that emboldens Beijing” he said. “China has systematica strategies in place 
and the threats to Uighurs in exile show that. Europe needs its own unified 
strategy to stand up to China and respond to these threats.”
