Despite the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia succeeded in hosting the G20 summit and under the wise leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for his country’s efforts to host the G20 summit. We would also like to commend the efforts made by Saudi Arabia to confront extremism and terrorism.

The (UNF) organization expresses its happiness with all its members for the success of the summit, which demonstrates the Kingdom’s regional position and its global leadership role, which makes it a source of pride in making a global achievement of the size of the success of hosting the extraordinary summit of the G20.

The UNF engages in international projects that are targeted towards increasing the quality of life for individuals living in conflict stricken communities.

In the nick of time when Africa was on the right path to turn its impressive economic performance into a sustainable level of economic and social development, the COVID-19 pandemic invaded the continent and quickly tilted it into a worst economic, social and humanitarian crisis. The pandemic is disrupting millions of livelihoods, affecting poor households, diverting government revenues, damaging the private sector, the informal economy and the entire production systems; and deteriorating international trade and financial flows to the continent.

In addition to the policy actions at national level to contain the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate of its socioeconomic impact, the African Union, under the leadership of H.E. Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, the Chairperson and H.E. Mr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission has been at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic by coordinating the activities and raising resources to strengthen the continental response to COVID-19, maintain economic activities and revive African economies….

The UNF sends its sincere condolences on the death of the Emir of Kuwait Sheik Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

In power since 2006, the 91-year-old Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, died in the United States on Tuesday. He had been hospitalized since July across the Atlantic, after undergoing an operation in his country.

On behalf of all our members, we wish to offer our condolences to the family of the deceased who was a man of dialogue.

Under the rule of Sheikh Sabah, Kuwait remained discreet, but its financial capacity made him an often essential player on the Middle Eastern scene. Sheikh Sabah has long headed Kuwaiti diplomacy, a position that allowed him to familiarize himself with all the greats of this world and to play this role of mediator, hailed by all.

Métropole-Rouen-Normandie signs the Universal Declaration of Humanity and inaugurates two Monuments to illustrate its commitment to the protection of human rights.

In a context of health crisis, twelve months after the fire of September 26, 2019, the City of Rouen and its Metropole demonstrate their commitment and the will to become a capital of the social-ecological transition, a reference in the fight against global warming, and thereby contribute to the protection of human rights.

The Universal Declaration of Humanity promotes the right of the inhabitants of our planet to live in a world whose future is not compromised by the irresponsibility of the present. All living beings have the right to live in a healthy and ecologically sustainable environment, within the framework of fair, united and sustainable responsible development. This declaration is in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed in Paris in 1948.

Developed by a working group made up of jurists and climate specialists, adopted by many cities around the world, this text sets out four principles, six rights and six duties, which define humanity through its interaction between past and present generations. and future, affirming the interdependence between Man and Nature while creating rights and duties towards our collective heritage.

On August 4, two explosions devastated the city of Beirut in Lebanon, killing more than 180 andinjuring thousands and plunging our friends of the Lebanese people into infinite sadness.

Mika, a humanist artist deep in his heart, offers his help to his compatriots by organizing an intimate and virtual concert on September 19, the proceeds of which will go to two associations – the Lebanese branch of the Red Cross and Save the Children Lebanon. Called “I Love Beirut”, this livestream concert will be broadcast on Youtube and will be chargeable.

We are asking everyone today to go to ticket master and take a ticket to attend Mika’s concert which will be available on Youtube in 4 different time slots. The price is 10 € and we want you to mobilize all of us – family – friends – collaborators – in order to obtain a maximum of tickets and to support the action of an extraordinary artist, with fair values incredibly anchored in the reality. You can also donate by going to Go Fund Me.

The Lebanese people need us and we must do everything to help our Lebanese friends, brothers at heart. The UNF, for years, had particularly close relations with the Lebanese population, and we would particularly like to support the initiative of Mika for whom within our group all have a very special affection. WE LOVE BEIRUT!
