Held in the context of the 70th annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), and reflecting this year’s review theme on “women’s full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls,” this side event will position care systems as a core enabler of the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda.

Building on UN Women’s newly launched global “Guidance Note on Addressing Care in Times of Conflict and Crisis,” the discussion will examine how unequal and unrecognized care responsibilities constrain women’s participation in peacebuilding, weaken social cohesion, and undermine recovery and sustaining peace outcomes.

The event will also launch a forthcoming IPI report, “Linking Local Care Initiatives in Latin America to Feminist Foreign Policy: Lessons Learned from Mexico City’s UTOPÍAS,” which examines how innovative local care policies can inform multilateral feminist policymaking and the implementation of feminist foreign policy.

The forum will bring together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to reflect on how care can be better integrated into national action plans, feminist foreign policies, and broader peacebuilding frameworks, particularly drawing from experiences in the Global South.

The Spanish PM is betting his confrontation with Donald Trump will rally the country's left behind him

Trump threatened to cut all trade with Spain

Inexperienced and overextended, Trump’s envoys have failed on three fronts.

En octobre 2020, par l’entremise de la NAHEMA [Nato HElicopter Management Agency], la Direction générale de l’armement [DGA] notifia au consortium NHIndustries [Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo et Fokker] ainsi qu’à Thales et à Safran, les contrats relatifs au développement de l’hélicoptère NH90 Standard 2 [ou «Forces spéciales»].

Les frappes israélo-américaines sur l'Iran viennent percuter le débat politique français. Éric Coquerel, député La France insoumise (LFI) de Seine-Saint-Denis et président de la commission des Finances de l'Assemblée, se "réjouirai[t] d'un changement de régime en Iran", mais regrette que "le droit international se volatilise au profit de la loi du plus fort". Il estime qu'il aurait été préférable que "Khamenei soit jugé pour l'ensemble de ses crimes". 

The issue is set to feature in the Commission's upcoming EU equality strategy

Le 2 mars, à l’Île-Longue, après avoir rappelé que les intérêt vitaux de la France [qui ne sont jamais précisés] avaient une dimension européenne, le président Macron a défini le concept de «dissuasion avancée», lequel vise à permettre aux pays du Vieux Continent qui le souhaitent de participer aux exercices menés par les forces stratégiques...

In response to Trump’s strikes, European leaders have created an alternate reality to escape their hypocrisy.

DÉCRYPTAGE - Favorite dans les sondages, la candidate de l’union de la gauche hors LFI est la cible de l’ancien maire RPR de la ville, minée par l’insécurité.

As conflict unfurls across the Middle East, Asian countries – U.S. friends and foes alike – are watching carefully.

More than 10,000 pro‑regime Iranians reside in the Turkey-occupied part of Cyprus, Euractiv has learned

Contraints de se positionner face à la guerre au Moyen-Orient, les pays européens jouent pour l’instant la prudence, de peur d’être entrainés dans le conflit. C’est plus particulièrement vrai au Royaume qui a proposé ses bases aux États-Unis pour des opérations défensives. Le Premier ministre britannique est doublement sur la sellette. Washington lui reproche de ne pas s’impliquer davantage.

Food contact materials (FCMs) include all materials that come into physical contact with food during its production, processing, packaging and storage. They contain thousands of chemicals, some of which can migrate into food, especially at high temperatures, during long contact times or with certain food types.

Scientific evidence shows that such migration is common and may contribute to human exposure to hazardous substances, including endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and reproductive toxicants. Well-known examples include phthalates, bisphenols and PFAS, which remain authorised in some applications despite links to adverse health effects. Current risk assessments often consider substances individually and may underestimate combined or cumulative exposure.

The EU’s core legislation is Regulation (EC) 1935/2004, which sets out general safety and labelling rules, supported by the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulation (EC) 2023/2006. However, only four material types – plastics, ceramics, regenerated cellulose film and active/intelligent materials – are subject to fully harmonised EU rules. The remaining materials (paper, inks, coatings, rubber, metal, etc.) rely mostly on national rules, leading to regulatory fragmentation, uneven safety standards and unclear requirements for industry. In addition, existing rules focus largely on known intentionally added substances, while non‑intentionally added substances (NIAS), impurities and degradation products remain insufficiently addressed.

A 2022 Commission evaluation found the framework only partially effective, with gaps in enforcement, control of NIAS and harmonisation. The Commission has recently reiterated its commitment to further harmonising EU legislation on FCMs.

The European Parliament has pushed for stronger rules, contributing to recent EU‑wide bans on BPA and PFAS in food packaging.

Citizens and stakeholders broadly support a comprehensive revision establishing clearer standards, harmonised testing and stronger consumer protection.

The war on Iran sounds the death knell for the old-school idea of “you break it, you own it.”
