Russian FM denounces West's contempt towards UN

Sep 29, 2024

Moscow [Russia], September 29: The West continues to undermine global trust through unilateral actions that bypass the United Nations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
He pointed to an instance of Western contempt for the United Nations, saying that "everyone who still has a sense of compassion is outraged" that last year's terrorist attacks on Israelis are being used to collectively punish Palestinian civilians. He urged an immediate end to their killing "with American weapons."
The United Nations needs to "avoid the temptation to play into the hands of individual states, particularly those that are actively calling not for cooperation but to divide the world into the flowering garden and the jungle -- or to those sitting around the table of democracy, and those that are on the menu," he said.
"Confrontation and hegemony will not resolve any global problem, they will hold back the objective process of the formation of a multipolar world order that will be based on the equal rights of large and small nations," Lavrov said.

Amid Growing Water Crisis, Chandigarh University Biotechnology Researchers Get Patent for Innovative Device to Kitchen Wastewater Reuse, Save Potable Water

Chandigarh [India], August 29: At a time when 80% of water supplied to households in India is released as wastewater even as over 60 crore people in the country are facing severe water crisis due to extreme groundwater over-extraction, erratic monsoons and rapid urbanisation, a team of Chandigarh University (CU) researchers has conceived and patented an innovative wastewater filtering device designed to provide a two-stage treatment for kitchen wastewater before it enters the drainage system, while also enabling collection of the filtered water for suitable domestic uses including gardening, irrigation and outdoor-area cleaning, thus reducing the demand for fresh potable water.
