Force of good is much stronger than Force of evil, with Kelly Clements | UNHCR DHC | Awake at Night

From Bangladesh to Kosovo, Syria to Sudan, Kelly Clements has spent more than 30 years helping to save lives during some of the biggest refugee and humanitarian crises in recent times. Now the outgoing Deputy High Commissioner at the UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, she’s making an impassioned case for a more humane world. “How can we convince those that continue to wage wars that continue to treat people badly? How can we show what's possible with a little hope, compassion, and more peace? The force of good is much stronger than the force of evil.” Global refugee needs are surging as wealthy nations turn away from helping the most vulnerable people on earth. In this episode, Kelly Clements reflects on her deep frustration at the devastating cuts to life-saving UN services, on the lasting power of helping just one person, and shares how the love of her family always gives her strength to serve.

Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Haiti - Iran - Middle East - UNIFIL - Lebanon - Occupied Palestinian Territory - Ukraine - Sudan - UNISFA - Somalia - Human Rights Council - Senior Personnel Appointment - International Day - Financial Contribution -------------------------------------- HAITI In a few hours, the Secretary-General will travel to the Dominican Republic, on his way to Haiti. Tomorrow, he will travel to Port-au-Prince for a solidarity visit, during which he will meet people whose lives have been impacted by violence. He will see firsthand the humanitarian and security challenges facing the country, as well as efforts by national authorities and the international community to restore stability and support the Haitian people. The Secretary-General will assess the support provided by the United Nations to Haiti in facing its multidimensional crisis, including our logistical and operational support to the Gang Suppression Force, in accordance with Security Council resolution 2793. He is also expected to meet with the Prime Minister of Haiti, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. The Secretary-General will travel to Haiti via the Dominican Republic, and he is expected to meet with national authorities in Santo Domingo. He will be back in New York on Wednesday evening. IRAN The Secretary-General yesterday welcomed the announcement that the United States and Iran have agreed on a peace deal that provides for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict. The Secretary-General expresses deep appreciation for the constructive role played by Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and other regional countries in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal. The Secretary-General hopes that the parties will build on this new momentum and redouble their efforts towards a final resolution of the conflict. The Secretary-General reaffirms that the United Nations stands ready to support the parties in achieving a durable and comprehensive peace. MIDDLE EAST Over the weekend, the Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy on the Conflict in the Middle East and its Consequences, Jean Arnault, traveled to Paris and Geneva and met with French and Swiss officials to exchange views on the conflict, as well as its peaceful and durable settlement.  In Geneva, he also met with World Trade Organization Director-General, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, UNCTAD representatives, and others, discussing prospects for post-conflict economic recovery. The Personal Envoy is expected to return to New York this week.  UNIFIL In their latest update on the situation in the south, our UNIFIL colleagues reported that from midnight until 4:00 p.m. today, local time, they observed a decrease in violence and exchanges of fire, recording 133 trajectories of projectiles and 2 airstrikes attributed to the IDF. No trajectories from Hizbullah or non-State actors were reported. During the same period, peacekeepers recorded 25 violations of Lebanese airspace by the IDF, with a total overflight time of approximately 40 hours. Before the agreement was announced yesterday between the US and Iran, our UNIFIL peacekeepers recorded 135 violations of Lebanese airspace by the Israel Defense Forces, with cumulative overflight time exceeding 222 hours. UNIFIL recorded 1,374 trajectories of projectiles over the weekend, with 1,328 attributed to the IDF, and the rest to non-State actors. Meanwhile, a UNIFIL team worked throughout the day yesterday to reopen a long stretch of a vital road linking Rmeich and Naqoura, in Sector West, which had been damaged during recent hostilities. Equipped with earthmoving machinery, excavators and bulldozers, peacekeepers, including explosive ordnance disposal teams and other specialists, filled craters, removed roadblocks, repaired potholes, and cleared unexploded hazards. The operation was carried out at the request of the Mayor of Rmeich, where approximately 6,000 residents have remained despite intense violence in the area. Restoring access to this road was essential to enable regular humanitarian movements to and from Rmeich and nearby villages. You will have seen the Secretary-General’s statement over the weekend in which he strongly condemned the Israeli strikes on Beirut. We reiterate our call on all parties to respect Security Council resolution 1701. Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date=2026-06-15
