El futuro de la OTAN (Jens Stoltenberg)

NATO’s Future

After a decade as the secretary-general of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg will step down from his job on Oct. 1. How has Russia’s aggression transformed the world’s largest military alliance, and how is that alliance assessing challenges in the future, whether they are posed by China, artificial intelligence, or threats in the Arctic?

Stoltenberg, a previous FP Live guest, sat down with host Ravi Agrawal for an exit interview, discussing the latest in the war in Ukraine, NATO funding, and his legacy.

Learning with CFR: Government, democracy and elections

CFR Education

Government 101

September 15, 2024

Dear Educator,

A basic understanding of the fundamentals of government is integral not only to a 21st-century education but also to ensuring democracy flourishes in the United States. With democracy on the decline around the world, it is important that students understand how laws and democratic institutions should function in order to recognize the warning signs. 

As educators, you know this better than anyone but finding resources that are free, reputable, and supplement your existing materials takes time. In this newsletter, you will find just that! 

Happy learning, 

CFR Education

The world has become less free and democratic every year between 2005 and 2023. This trend is known as democratic backsliding and can happen for many reasons. 

This resource outlines how democratic backsliding manifests by examining different laws and norms, where they thrive, and where they have broken down in recent years. 

Educator Tip: Use this mini simulation on election security to emphasize the importance of free and fair elections as one of the pillars of democracy.

2024 likely to be deadliest year for aid workers (Guardian)

Nearly 200 humanitarians have been killed so far this year, the majority local hires, as growing disregard for international law ramps up the risks to those in conflict hotspots

Almost every week this year, Jagan Chapagain has had to sign a letter of condolence to the families of aid workers killed in the line of duty while serving the world’s largest humanitarian network. A volunteer in Sudan, shot while collecting data; a paramedic gunned down while evacuating wounded civilians in the West Bank; and an ambulance driver in Ethiopia, who died of a bullet wound on his way to hospital, are among the 28 staff and volunteers the secretary general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has commemorated since the year began.

By late August, 187 aid workers around the world, who play a vital role in delivering food, water and medical supplies during crises, had been killed, making 2024 likely to be the deadliest year ever for aid workers. Last year currently holds that title, when 280 lost their lives compared with 118 in 2022. The Israeli-Gaza war, where more than 280 aid workers have been killed since 7 October, as well as Sudan and South Sudan accounted for most of the deaths.

Rising repression against women in journalism (Guardian)

For years, as Kiran Nazish worked as a journalist in conflict zones around the world, she watched the female reporters around her struggling against the odds to build their careers, get support and stay safe.

In Mexico, female journalists told Nazish that they had been blackmailed by their bosses to cooperate sexually or face demotion. While working on the frontline in conflict zones Nazish was asked by male colleagues: “Why are you here? Go back to Pakistan.”

When Nazish collapsed and was hospitalised after covering the rise of Islamic State in Iraq in 2015, she knew she had to do something about it.

“I realised that I had had a great career, with support, and if I was there on my deathbed, what was it like for women who did not have the same opportunities?” she says.

So in 2017, after she had recovered, Nazish launched a mentorship scheme for female journalists and the Coalition for Women in Journalism (CFWIJ) was born.

Drug dealers, scammers and white nationalists conduct business and spread toxic speech on Telegram, according to our analysis of millions of messages.

Paul Mozur reports on global technology, Adam Satariano on European technology, Aaron Krolik on data and technology, and Steven Lee Myers on misinformation.

Telegram has become a global sewer of criminal activity, disinformation, child sexual abuse material, terrorism and racist incitement, according to a four-month investigation by The New York Times that analyzed more than 3.2 million Telegram messages from over 16,000 channels. The company, which offers features that enable criminals, terrorists and grifters to organize at scale and to sidestep scrutiny from the authorities, has looked the other way as illegal and extremist activities have flourished openly on the app.

The degree to which Telegram has been inundated by such content has not been previously reported. The Times investigation found 1,500 channels operated by white supremacists who coordinate activities among almost one million people around the world. At least two dozen channels sold weapons. In at least 22 channels with more than 70,000 followers, MDMA, cocaine, heroin and other drugs were advertised for delivery to more than 20 countries.

Hamas, ISIS and other terror groups have thrived on Telegram, often amassing large audiences across dozens of channels. The Times analyzed more than 40 channels associated with Hamas, which showed that average viewership surged up to 10 times after the Oct. 7 attacks, garnering more than 400 million views in October.
