Indonesia convicted 3 people (Apr 2026) for sending ~$49K in USDT (stablecoin) to an ISIS-linked network in 2024–2025. The case is notable for using blockchain tracing as key evidence in a terror financing prosecution.

We cannot predict what this new year will bring, but we do know this:

The world needs the @UN more than ever.

We will always stand for peace, sustainable development & human rights.

We will never compromise our principles.  
We will never give up.

[UNODC South-East Asia & the Pacific @UNODC_SEAP]

Youth are driving the digital transformation in Southeast Asia.

They use AI and blockchain to stop, spot and expose corruption.

Their tools increase transparency, broaden access to information and enable secure reporting for whistle-blowers.

18 July marks #MandelaDay! Today we reaffirm that prisoners are part of our communities, and what happens in prisons impacts all of us —#PrisonersMatter.
Join @UNODC to call for the universal practical application of the #MandelaRules 🔓

[UNODC South-East Asia & the Pacific @UNODC_SEAP]

Prisoners are part of our communities.

Yet overcrowding, neglect & human rights violations remain a daily reality for many people in prisons across Southeast Asia & the Pacific.

Tomorrow is #MandelaDay and we're calling for change: https://t.co/Zedd4gVdlK #PrisonersMatter
