[UN Chronicle @_UNChronicle]

80 years ago this month, the @_UNChronicle began its coverage of what was then a new world organization – the @UN.

In celebration, we revisited our 1st issue to consider what it can tell us about the work of the United Nations today & in the years ahead: https://t.co/NdjdZuwfMa

It's an honor and privilege to write this article published by UN Chronicle. I bring forth the importance of Indigenous data sovereignty in the age of AI.

“I have decided to stick to love… Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of non-violent social change remains a vital guide for achieving global equality and human rights.

#AI is only as inclusive as the data it learns from.

If #IndigenousPeoples are poorly represented in datasets, AI may reinforce stereotypes & flatten the diversity of thousands of communities & languages.

“The question has gone beyond how #IndigenousPeoples can be included in AI to how AI can be shaped by Indigenous knowledge and rights.”

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the fastest-spreading Ebola epidemic ever recorded.

It's growing faster & wider than the response to contain it.

But it can be stopped.

We know how to contain Ebola & save lives.

The world must urgently step up action to get it under control.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Together with the @ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric, and with even greater urgency, I renew my call on States to establish specific prohibitions & restrictions on autonomous weapon systems.

We are now dangerously close to crossing a moral red line: the autonomous targeting of humans by machines.

Innovation must serve humanity – not endanger it.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

Humanitarian workers are here to help the world’s most vulnerable people when disaster strikes.

Attacking humanitarians is a violation of international humanitarian law.

They are #NotATarget.

[UN Chronicle @_UNChronicle]

How would Trygve Lie, 1st United Nations Secretary-General, feel about the international situation today in relation to the evolution & capacity of the @UN?

Today is #SelfCareDay: 24 July, for 24/7 self-care.

Self-care is not a luxury. It's the power we have to promote our health, prevent disease & cope with illness. Every day.

💙 TEST: know your health status
📝 TRACK: listen to your body & mind
🌱 THRIVE: take small daily actions

[UN Chronicle @_UNChronicle]

In 20 years of #CRPD, legislation for persons with disabilities has proliferated, but how can we bridge the gap between rights on paper and rights in life?
