‘Hyderabad Resolution' calls for justice, equality, sustainability

HYDERABAD: The Bharat Summit 2025, a gathering of progressive thinkers organised by the state government to mark the 70th anniversary of the 1st Afro-Asian Bandung Conference, concluded with the adoption of the Hyderabad Resolution on Saturday.
Amid rising global crises, the resolution identified key threats such as far-right authoritarianism, institutional erosion, media manipulation and growing inequality. It condemned terrorism, autocratic repression, and violations of international law — especially against the Global South, minorities and climate-vulnerable communities.
Focusing on five pillars — economic justice, environmental justice, gender equality and social inclusion, democracy and social justice, and peace and human security — the resolution called for a new economic model based on equity, progressive taxation, fair trade, and democratic control of key infrastructure.
It also urged reforms to global institutions, including democratising the UN system and empowering the Global South, stressing multilateralism and solidarity to defend democratic values.
Rooted in the ideals of Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truth), Nyay (justice), and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (One World), the participants of the Bharat Summit 2025 through the Hyderabad Resolution, committed themselves to building a fairer, more just, and sustainable global order through collective progressive action.

Netanyahu Slams Macron For Fuelling 'Antisemitic Fire'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upbraided President Emmanuel Macron in a letter seen by AFP on Tuesday, blaming the French leader's move to recognise a Palestinian state for fuelling antisemitism. A French minister responded by saying that the fight against antisemitism must not be "exploited". Late last month, Macron said France would formally recognise a Palestinian state during a UN meeting in September, drawing a swift rebuke from Israel. By announcing the move, France was set to join a growing list of nations to have recognised statehood for the Palestinians since the start of the Gaza war nearly two years ago. In the letter sent to Macron, Netanyahu said antisemitism had "surged" in France following the announcement. "Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement. It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas's refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets," Netanyahu wrote in the letter. The Israeli premier went on to call on Macron to confront antisemitism in France, saying he must "replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve, and to do so by a clear date: the Jewish New Year, September 23". Benjamin Haddad, France's minister for Europe, said the country has "no lessons to learn in the fight against antisemitism". The issue "which is poisoning our European societies" must not be "exploited", Haddad added. France is among at least 145 of the 193 UN members that now recognise or plan to recognise a Palestinian state, according to an AFP tally. Australia joined the list earlier this month, announcing its intention to recognise a Palestinian state in September. Netanyahu slammed his Australian counterpart, Anthony Albanese, earlier on Tuesday, labelling him a "weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews," in an angry post on his office's official X account. The personal attack came amid a diplomatic spat between the two countries after the Australian government on Monday cancelled the visa of far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman. Rothman, whose ultranationalist party is in Netanyahu's governing coalition, had been scheduled to speak at events organised by the Australian Jewish Association. Hours after his visa was cancelled, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said he had revoked the visas of Australia's representatives to the Palestinian Authority. In a statement, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said revoking their visas was an "unjustified reaction" by Israel and that Netanyahu's government was "isolating Israel and undermining international efforts towards peace and a two-state solution".

UN flags exclusion of Afghan women in education, jobs under Taliban rule

Four years into the current rule in Afghanistan, women remain excluded from government structures as well as the right to education and work, the UN Special Representative for Women in Afghanistan has said, Tolo News reported. The UN stressed that despite ongoing challenges, it remains committed to investing in organizations, businesses, and ensuring women's participation in international dialogues to safeguard their rights.(AFP) Susan Ferguson stressed that the continuation of this situation is harmful not only to women but to Afghanistan as a whole. She stated: "Regarding education and employment, women and girls are still barred from attending secondary schools, universities, and most jobs. This has destroyed the future of an entire generation of young Afghan girls. The exclusion of women not only harms them personally, but also damages families, communities, and the country as a whole." According to UN findings, half of female employees in civil society organizations have lost their jobs this year due to reduced funding. Ferguson emphasized that Afghan women and girls are bearing the heaviest burden of declining international aid. She added: "Half of female staff in civil society organizations have lost their jobs due to funding cuts. More than one-third of these organizations reported that if the current situation continues, their ability to reach women and girls will be severely reduced, limited, or completely halted." The UN stressed that despite ongoing challenges, it remains committed to investing in organizations, businesses, and ensuring women's participation in international dialogues to safeguard their rights, Tolo News reported. Women's rights activist Faryal Sayedzada told Tolo News: "The deprivation of Afghan girls and women from education will have negative consequences and will harm Afghanistan in the years to come. We hope that with the start of the new academic year, the Afghan government will prepare a procedure that allows Afghan girls to continue their education." Human rights issues, especially women's right to education and employment, remain key points of contention between the international community and Afghanistan's interim government, frequently debated over the past four years. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan recently said that work is underway on this matter in order to obtain proper Sharia approval, Tolo News reported. (ANI)

UN condemns Israeli minister for taunting Palestinian prisoner

GENEVA: The UN's human rights office on Tuesday condemned a far-right Israeli minister for taunting a Palestinian prisoner in his cell and sharing the footage online. National security minister Itamar Ben Gvir published a video on Friday last week showing him confronting Marwan Barghouti, the most high-profile Palestinian detainee in Israeli custody. UN Human Rights Office spokesman Thameen Al-Kheetan said the footage was unacceptable, adding: "The minister's behaviour and the publication of the footage constitute an attack on Barghouti's dignity." Barghouti, now in his sixties, was sentenced in 2004 to life in prison on murder charges. Regarded as a terrorist by Israel, he often tops opinion polls of popular Palestinian leaders and is sometimes described by his supporters as the "Palestinian Mandela". "International law requires that all those in detention be treated humanely, with dignity, and their human rights respected and protected," said Kheetan. He warned that the minister's actions "may encourage violence against Palestinian detainees" and enable rights violations in Israeli prisons.
