september 2024, comparing the Rev. 4 of chapter 2 on international peace and security to the Rev. 3
Lead author: Jebilson Raja Joslin
The co-facilitators of the Summit of the Future, Germany and Namibia, released the zero-draft of the Pact for the Future on 26 January 2024, which was meant to serve as a starting point for intergovernmental negotiations on the Pact for the Future. Subsequently, the Rev. 1, Rev. 2, Rev. 3 and Rev. 4 of the Pact for the Future was released on 14 May, 17 July, 27 August, and 13 September 2024, respectively, following extensive deliberations and consultations with MS. This ICH bulletin #63 compares the Rev. 4 of Ch. 2 on International Peace and Security to the Rev. 3.
The Rev. 4 has made some subtle but significant changes to the Rev. 3, including language on youth engagement, national prevention strategies, peace & security implications of climate change, among others. Action 26 on nuclear weapons continues to be contentious among MS with major changes to the language on disarmament, nuclear war, and assurances to non-nuclear-weapon States. Reference to General Assembly resolution 46/182 on humanitarian access in conflict situations has been brought back. Rev. 4, for the first time, welcomes the elaboration of the draft UN Convention against Cybercrime.
Find the above and more changes made in Rev. 4 in the following ICH Bulletin.
