NEW YORK, Nov 7 2025 (IPS)

The New York City mayoral elections captured the world’s attention with an excitement normally reserved for the United States presidential elections. It all culminated on Tuesday night with Zohran Mamdani’s decisive victory, signaling that hope was emerging after a period of anxiety and uncertainty for the United States. Zohran Mamdani will represent and govern New York City, one of the world’s wealthiest and most high-profile cities.

Since Wednesday morning, my social media has been full of posts from friends and family that don’t live in New York or even in the U.S. celebrating Mamdani’s win as if he had won the mayoral race in their city. Thanks in large part to his successful outreach on social media, Mamdani’s brand and the principles of authenticity that serve as its foundation resonated with people beyond New York’s borders.

Mamdani’s campaign and victory were like a fairytale unfolding in real time. Beginning as a little-known state assemblyman even within his own state, he became a global household name in one year.

Through grassroots efforts and new tactics eschewed by the establishment, his campaign gained traction with a growing coalition defined by its demographic diversity. He was the underdog challenging the current administration with his principles and convictions and even facing resistance from the old guard in his own political party.

In a way, his win reaffirms the myth of the American Dream, where anyone has the freedom and opportunity to pursue a better life. He has done this while presenting a conviction in his beliefs rooted in unity and empathy. He has achieved several historic firsts for the city: the first Muslim mayor, the first South Asian mayor, and the youngest mayor in more than a century.

While his policies for affordable living are integral to his appeal, Mamdani’s background as a Muslim man of Indian-Ugandan origin has resonated with immigrants who made sacrifices to move away from their home in pursuit of a better life. The ideal of the American Dream posits that America is the land where prosperity is still something to be gained, not just inherited. A land that promotes economic prosperity and the protection of civil liberties.

Those sacrifices must otherwise feel in vain; they must also struggle to pay for basic necessities given the high cost of living in New York City. That is perhaps where people connected with Mamdani and his message of hope; people could see that he genuinely recognized their struggles and would have witnessed them himself.

Even in the face of vitriolic rhetoric that targeted his experience, or comparative lack thereof, in relation to his faith, Mamdani did not back down or diminish his identity. Where immigrants may learn to assimilate, Mamdani showed why it is more important than ever to embrace authenticity and all facets of one’s identity.

Now that he will be the next mayor, Mamdani will have the task ahead of him of delivering on his promises to make the city more affordable. But he will also have to prove that his convictions were not just for the campaign. This world capital, the host of the United Nations, could not have asked for a more internationalist mayor.

He is a domestic politician with an international outlook. One can see even within his own family. He is married to a Syrian-American immigrant. Both his parents are cultural and academic figures in their own right.

His father, Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani, has taught political science and post-colonialism subjects across universities in Uganda, South Africa, Senegal, and even here at Columbia University.

His mother, Mira Nair, is an Indian filmmaker who has directed popular movies like Monsoon Wedding and Mississippi Masala but has also worked on projects like Still, the Children Are Here, a documentary about the Garo indigenous communities in northeastern India. She produced this film in collaboration with the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

While this reveals the level of privilege that Mamdani descends from, this may also shed light on his awareness of social justice issues. This may also reveal how he defined his campaign with the promise of change and authenticity as an embodiment of New York’s demographic and cultural DNA.

Recent times have been marked by division and uncertainty, which make pre-existing problems much harder to deal with. Even an institution like the UN, which purports to include all communities to set the common agenda for development and prosperity, has been forced to make difficult compromises.

It is struggling within the constraints of limited funding and political will without follow-through due in part to the conflicting interests between member states and other stakeholders. The UN is defined by a principled impartiality. It platforms a diverse range of issues of global interest and advocates for peaceful, inclusive dialogue. Yet it is also restrained from taking firmer principled positions due to member states’ individual interests.

In that respect, the UN and New York have something in common. They are shaped by the member states/communities that make them, and they work as those groups see fit, even if at times it seems that a small percentage holds the greatest influence and determines the fate of the majority.

Perhaps the UN could stand to benefit and learn from a mayor like Mamdani, who has demonstrated that a global outlook on domestic affairs can be conducive. He may remind us that channeling hope and expecting—not just pursuing—the dignity of life can make a difference.

À l’issue d’une rencontre jeudi 6 novembre à Belém, au Brésil, avec le président brésilien Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Emmanuel Macron a laissé entendre que la France pourrait soutenir l’accord UE-Mercosur, à condition que les pays du bloc sud-américain acceptent les garanties proposées par l’UE. Une ouverture qui a déclenché une levée de boucliers en France.

The reported strikes come as the military-led government says it would be wary of agreeing to a ceasefire.

Am Montag startet die UN-Klimakonferenz COP30 im brasilianischen Belém. Zuvor kommen bereits viele Staats- und Regierungschefs zu einem zweitägigen Gipfeltreffen zusammen. Energieexpertin Claudia Kemfert, Leiterin der Abteilung Energie, Verkehr, Umwelt im DIW Berlin, kommentiert den Klimagipfel wie folgt:  

Nach einem halben Jahr schwarz-rote Bundesregierung ist klar: Die deutsche Klimapolitik braucht mehr Mut, Tempo und Weitsicht. Statt entschlossener Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien, Energieeffizienz und Klimaschutz erleben wir Rückschritte und Verzögerungen. Das hat auch der jüngste Stahlgipfel gezeigt, bei dem die Dekarbonisierung fast keine Rolle spielte. Der Fokus liegt zu sehr auf fossilen Übergangslösungen, anstatt die Chancen einer konsequenten Transformation zu nutzen. Dabei ist genau das jetzt entscheidend – für Klimaschutz, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und soziale Gerechtigkeit.  

Die COP30 in Belém ist ein entscheidender Moment: Dort müssen die Länder zeigen, dass sie das Pariser Abkommen, das vor genau zehn Jahren verabschiedet wurde, ernst nehmen. Im Vorfeld hat aber die EU ihr Klimaziel bereits abgeschwächt und Verantwortung durch die Möglichkeit, Emissionsgutschriften von Drittstaaten zu kaufen, ausgelagert. Was wir stattdessen brauchen, sind konkrete Zusagen für den weltweiten Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl und Gas – und eine deutliche Stärkung der internationalen Klimafinanzierung, damit auch Länder des Globalen Südens ihre Energiewende voranbringen können. Deutschland sollte dabei eine aktive, glaubwürdige Rolle übernehmen und zeigen, dass eigenverantwortlicher Klimaschutz, wirtschaftliche Stärke und globale Solidarität zusammengehören. 

Wir wissen, was zu tun ist – jetzt braucht es politischen Willen und internationale Kooperation. Die Zukunft gehört den Friedensenergien: erneuerbar, gerecht und unabhängig.

A regional OSCE roundtable that took place on 4-5 November in Tashkent demonstrated how media literacy can actively prevent youth radicalization and violent extremism. Journalists, civil society actors, and experts shared practical approaches – from counter-narratives to AI-driven tools – that help young people critically navigate information online. Gender-sensitive strategies were highlighted to better protect and empower young women, showing that informed media engagement can create real change.

The event was organized by the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan in co-operation with the Journalists’ Retraining Centre and brought together journalists, civil society activists, young professionals and researchers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Participants explored successful regional initiatives, hands-on methods for fact-checking, and ethical reporting practices. They discussed how collaboration between media and civil society strengthens youth resilience, and new tools were introduced to tackle disinformation and harmful online content. The event also launched a regional expert network to continue sharing experiences and best practices in preventing violent extremism and terrorism.

"In today’s digital world, distinguishing fact from disinformation is becoming increasingly difficult. As the most active users of the internet, young people are particularly vulnerable to false information. That’s why media literacy must serve as a shield to protect them. If young people bring a culture of critical thinking to their families and friends, the resilience of society will be strengthened," - said Ambassador Antti Karttunen, OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan.

The roundtable also sparked lively debates on how social media trends, influencers, and AI-generated content are shaping young people’s views. Participants agreed that understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

By the end of the forum, participants had gained practical tools, inspiring strategies, and connections to sustain ongoing efforts in youth engagement, critical thinking, and safe media practices across Central Asia.

It is worth noting that earlier the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan in co-operation with the Journalists’ Retraining Centre has organized a series of media literacy courses across the regions of Uzbekistan. These courses equipped journalists and bloggers with the skills to think critically, spot disinformation and analyze fake news.

Der Vorstoß dürfte auf heftigen Widerstand aus der Branche sowie aus mehreren Mitgliedstaaten stoßen, darunter Luxemburg, Irland und Belgien.

Thirty Special Anti-Corruption Structure (SPAK) and Special Courts legal advisors and judicial secretaries strengthened their professional skills in legal research, legal reasoning and legal writing during a training course organized by the OSCE Presence in Albania in co-operation with SPAK and Special Courts on 5 and 6 November 2025.

The training aimed to enhance participants’ ability to conduct thorough legal analysis and to produce clear, consistent and well-reasoned legal documents — key elements for ensuring the quality, transparency and effectiveness of judicial work.

Over the course of the programme, participants explored fundamental aspects of legal research and reasoning, as well as contemporary practices in legal writing, including the use of precise terminology and professional writing style. Interactive sessions, practical exercises and group discussions were designed to encourage active learning and peer exchange. Case studies and real-life examples relevant to their daily work were used to enhance the applicability of the training content.

Addressing the participants, Mauro Puzzo, Head of the OSCE Presence’s Rule of Law and Human Rights Department underlined the importance of professional development in strengthening the rule of law. “Strong institutions depend on professionals equipped with the skills and integrity to apply the law consistently and communicate it clearly. The OSCE Presence remains committed to supporting Albania’s justice institutions in building capacity and fostering a culture of professionalism and accountability,” he said.

The training is part of the Presence’s ongoing support to Albania’s justice reform and its efforts to promote integrity, efficiency and transparency within judicial institutions.

Financial investigations are a cornerstone in the fight against human trafficking. Tracking money flows helps uncover the financial networks and key actors sustaining these crimes.

On 6 and 7 November, the Office of the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings, together with the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, and the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro, organized a two-day workshop to strengthen co-operation among law enforcement, prosecutors, the judiciary, and the private sector. The goal: to make financial flow tracing and financial investigations central pillars of Montenegro’s anti-trafficking efforts.

The event gathered around 50 participants from across Montenegro, financial investigation experts from Canada, Cyprus, Latvia, and the Netherlands, as well as representatives from the National Bureau of Investigation of Hungary, the Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST) initiative, and private sector partners from, Romania, Spain, and Sweden. Notably, companies such as Santander Bank, Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs, the Global Coalition to Fight Financial Crime, and Western Union also attended and contributed with their expertise.

Opening the event, Giovanni Gabassi, OSCE Mission to Montenegro’s Officer-in-Charge, said the initiative reflected a shared commitment “to tackle human trafficking by targeting the profits that sustain it.” He added that stronger financial investigations not only expose trafficking networks, but also enable the identification of victims and support successful prosecution of cases.

Dragana Kažanegra-Stanišić, State Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, emphasized the importance of partnerships in addressing human exploitation. “Financial institutions play a key role in identifying suspicious transactions and activities that may indicate this crime. Together with law enforcement, they provide invaluable data to help break down networks.” Moreover, she also stressed that “the use of cryptocurrencies and new financial technologies further complicates supervision and regulation, which requires an agile, co-ordinated and adaptive approach.”

Velimir Furtula, Acting Assistant Director of the Police Directorate’s Department for the Fight against Crime, noted that human trafficking represented one of the most complex and serious violations of human rights and one of the most profitable forms of organized crime. “At its core, there is always the same motive - illegal earnings through the exploitation of people. That is why monitoring of financial flows becomes a key tool in its detection and suppression,” said Furtula.

Jean-Benoit Manhes, OSCE Deputy Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings pointed out that human trafficking and migrant smuggling have been identified in both the National Risk Assessment and the recent MONEYVAL Mutual Evaluation as a major source of illicit funds. “Montenegro’s geographical position, as a transit and destination country within the Western Balkans, makes it especially vulnerable to such crimes. The adoption of a whole-of-society approach, including the financial sector, can be instrumental in helping detect, track and recover financial benefits from trafficking, including via complex schemes involving cryptocurrencies. No-trafficker is invisible, no-trafficker shall escape,” he concluded.
