A total of 197 independent nations are counted in the Atlas.  Votes of no confidence in the UN General Assembly: (1) UN Data and World Bank estimates pertaining to Country by Country GNI and GDP must be deleted to base year 2018 and recalculated using IMF moderated economic growth rates published in World Economic Outlook: Navigating Global Divergences of October 2023 by IMF country visits.  (2) Both the Mid-year population on table beginning on page 114 of the 2022 Demographic Yearbook and UN Data population statistics must be cleaned up, so that Final Figure, incomplete/questionable reliability are all overruled by - Final Figure, complete – and consistent with the second recount of total population data in Annex I: Mid-year population, United Nations estimates: 2013 – 2022 on pages 692-696 of the 2022 Demographic Yearbook. (3) Overestimation of revenues 2020-2021 in the Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021) must be replaced with historical CEB statistics that have been destroyed by the United Nations, as the baseline for the UN Assembly to estimate UN revenue growth that is proportionate with global GNI growth.  (4)  2020 US Presidential election fraud justifies removing both geezers from the ballot and fingerprinting voters in the 2024 election. (5) The Secretary General is charged with $22 billion in arrears to UN Peacekeeping, paid $10 billion UN Security Council authorized US humanitarian assistance and $12 billion, over time, for 100,000 UN Peacekeepers and/or a new Peacekeeping Fund to sustain 3 percent inflation for UN Peacekeeping services that can be liquidated to pay for humanitarian assistance or UN Compensation to victims of armed conflict.  (6) Charge Israel ($50 billion), Mali ($5 million), Myanmar ($30 billion), Pakistan ($1.7 billion), Palestine ($50 million), Russia ($100 billion), Saudi Arabia ($24.8 billion), Syria ($60 billion), and the United States of America ($150 billion) with arrears due to owing UN Compensation in excess of two years of dues and need to criticize their vote under Art. 19 of the UN Charter.  (7) Israel vote of equal confidence with Palestine in regards to Membership under Art. 5 of the UN Charter and ad hoc judges under Art. 1(2) of the Rules and Art. 31 of the Statute of the Court.  (8) UN Compensation casualty insurance benefit estimates for current wars in Burkina Faso ($10.6 billion), Columbia ($353 million), Democratic Republic of Congo ($30-$60 billion), Ethiopia ($20 billion), Haiti ($1.1 billion), Mexico ($450 million), Sudan ($29.3 billion), Somalia ($18.5 billion), South Sudan ($12 billion), and Cameroon ($5.1 billion).

 

As of the New Year 2024 the Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021), that I had to sue for deceptively retroactive publication last year and a quarter, has not been updated for 2022, or even especially for June 2023 when the 42-month limit on $60-$70 billion blasphemy of the UN System should have ended (Rev. 13:5).  For the sake of UN Peacekeeping, who has been cursed with +/-$6.6 billion assessment since declining from $7.3 billion in 2018, it is time for the Assembly to update the annual Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system (2016-2024).  Article 17 of the Charter of the United Nations provides that Member States have the obligation to bear the expenses of the Organization, as apportioned by the General Assembly.  The fundamental principle underlying the apportionment by the Assembly is based broadly on the capacity of Member States to pay, in accordance with rule 160 of its rules of procedure.  The General Assembly in resolution 76/238 (establishing the 2022-2024 scale) reaffirmed that the Committee on Contributions (CoC) as a technical body is required to prepare the scale of assessments strictly on the basis of reliable, verifiable and comparable data CoC (A/77/11, para. 20).  All agency assessments utilize similar methods of assessments.  Data are provided, in national currency, in response to the United Nations annual national accounts questionnaire.  National accounts data is then disseminated into US dollars in two separate databases: National Accounts Statistics, Main Aggregates and Detailed Tables (MADT) database and Analysis of Main Aggregates (AMA) database. 

 

All UN agency assessments adhere to a similar principal and pricing strategy based on GNI, so that the whole request of the UN system is about 1 percent of global taxable corporate income, or as the Committee on Contributions puts it, the Floor is the minimum assessment rate for Least Developed Countries (LDCs), that has changed from 0.01 to 0.001 per cent of the total agency assessment since the 1998-2000 scale and maximum ceiling of 22 percent for developed countries, ie. The US.  As a rule, States rebel against assessment inflation in excess of 3 percent pursuant to the Iron Law Wages, unless there are sufficiently popular grounds for calling in evasion of taxing all income one percent to pay an international poverty line benefit, ie. UN Peacekeeping assessment (Rev 13:5) and inclusion of reparations for state based armed conflicts in arrears.  The Assembly must first produce credible estimates of GNI to facilitate UN agencies to produce credible assessments of contributions, for the settlement of the permanent record of receipts for 2022 and 2023 and is also challenged to produce a conservative estimate for 2024, so that the UN system is fiscally self-determinate and no longer needs to be held in trust by Hospitals & Asylums (HA).  There is a two-year delay before the economic statistics in the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs World Statistics Pocketbook are updated, ie. Footnotes in the 2023 Pocketbook tabulates GDP data from 2021, and not the requisite GNI data, maintained by UN Data also until 2021, at the beginning of calendar year 2024. The GDP and GNI overestimates have been used to overestimate dues.  Overestimates of dues resulted in non-payment of said overestimates and consequently the retraction of preliminary overestimates.  The UN is however back to square one.  The size of the COVID-19 economic collapse and recovery suffers from overestimation.

 

The Assembly must produce credible GNI estimates using UN data from 2018 as a base year, multiplied by national IMF economic growth rates percentages, for 2019-2024.  Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic reduced world economic growth to 2.8 percent in 2019, -2.8 percent in 2020, with catch-up growth of 6.3 percent in 2021.  The baseline forecast for post-COVID growth to slow from 3.5 percent in 2022 to 3.0 percent in 2023 and 2.9 percent in 2024, well below the historical (2000–19) average of 3.8 percent (whereas the UN has not yet given the belated order to wash your nose - echinacea cures COVID, RSV and flu, nor has the conduct of the UN indicated survivors have recovered from the brain-shrinking effect of using pseudoephedrine to cure COVID, whereas the COVID vaccine is nearly as placebo as the flu, neither of which are due any more subsidy than Portuguese hard drugs).  The October 2023 World Economic Outlook provides the country-by-country economic growth statistics that are needed to update the UN Data GNI estimates from 2022.  Reciprocity requires the author to tabulate the 2019-2024 GNI estimates for Assembly to produce 2022-2024 update of Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system (2016-2024), however, before getting through the A’s, and after adding 2018-2020 columns, in four hours, it is estimated to take at least another week of work.  In the preliminary table, agreed upon 2021 GNI data was at first considered true and 2022 data overestimates usually overruled by IMF economic growth rates, but there is also sporadic tendency to overestimate the severity of the COVID contraction in UN Data, due its preliminary effect, in UN Data, wherefore the inquisition into GNI and GDP data must begin in 2018, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

^a Data for Cuba, Liechtenstein, Monaco, North Korea, Syria and Taiwan economic growth had to be searched online by year in the second pass. The North Korean economy may be much larger than the UN gives them credit for with estimates of $28 billion in 2016 with $100 billion in purchasing power parity, taking into consideration the mountain of free housing, minerals of military utility and scarcity of food.  Cuban growth rates for 2019 and 2020 were the most challenging calculations of the year. ^b Afghan economy has declined since 2019 and is estimated to continue to decline -3.0 percent annually for 2023 and 2024. ^c China (mainland), Hong Kong and Macao are combined to make 197 independent nations, rather than 209 initially reported in the second recount. ^d Egypt's real GDP growth projection for 2023 is 4.2 percent and 3.6 percent in 2024, 5.6 percent growth is estimated for 2019. ^e Eritria growth rate of 3.8 percent in 2019 is last reported estimate, 3 percent projected 2020-2024. ^f Guyana economic growth is obviously overestimated, but it is corroborated, following record real GDP growth in 2022—62.3 percent, the highest in the world—real GDP is expected to continue to grow extremely fast in 2023 (38 percent). ^g Lebanese economic growth recovered to 0.2 percent in 2023 and 1.4 percent in 2024. ^h Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics estimates a -6.2 percent decline in 2023, -33 percent in third quarter, -80 percent in Gaza, and -5 percent in 2024.  ⁱ Singapore not reported in World Economic Outlook, but by IMF website, growth is estimated to continue at one percent in 2024. ^j Sri Lanka economic growth is estimated at -3.8 percent in 2023 and 1.7 percent in 2024 by the World Bank. ^k The GDP of the both Republics of Tanzania: Mainland and Zanzibar have been combined. ^l Zambia GDP is reduced by IMF consultations. ^m Zimbabwe IMF staff visit October 2023, reduces growth estimates to 4.5 percent in 2022, 4.8 percent in 2023 and 3.5 percent in 2024. 

 

World income, by national total GNI, is estimated to have been $86.8 trillion in 2018, growing 2.5 percent to $89.0 trillion in 2019, contracting -2.6 percent to $86.7 trillion in 2020, catch-up growth of 5.9 percent to $981.8 trillion in 2021, before slowing down to 3.3 percent to $94.8 trillion in 2022, 2.6 percent to $97.2 trillion in 2023 and $99.6 trillion in 2024.  The IMF total world real GDP growth estimate of 2.8 percent growth 2018-2019 is downgraded to 2.5 percent by this summary of GNI, however it is important to note that the debate regarding GDP has not yet begun.  Catch-up growth was quickly exhausted, and economic growth is slowing down, but remains bullish.  It will be necessary for the author to use the same IMF growth rate table again to produce a global GDP total using 2018 as a base year, before having an atlas update worth publishing.  I must first, however make amends for not comprehending the footnote in the World Statistical Pocketbook that GDP estimates for 2018, were from 2016, and the GWP was accordingly underestimated by two years, before publication of this work, that is, in its preliminary form, primarily obligated to facilitate the update of the UN System budget, as a layperson, who may have to research the scales of assessment by country for every agency, if the Assembly is unable to perform, after having their GNI homework done for them.  As a rule, UN Statistics and especially budgets need to be more forward-thinking, into the next year, with reasonable assumptions regarding future growth, that are competently reviewed.  Admittedly, there is about a 0.3 percent margin of error between IMF world GNI estimate and the world GNI totals in this work.  In other words, IMF world economic growth estimate(s) are about 12 percent higher than the sum of this work plugging in IMF real GDP growth estimates country by country, since 2018.  There may be as much as a one percent margin of error real from using GDP growth estimates produced by the IMF to adjust GNI, a slightly different statistic, but this is better than an additional five percent margin of overestimation, uncorrelated with the acceptable IMF growth rate estimates.

 

The current UN Statistical system involves the IMF making economic growth predictions that are applied to the (lost) balances of the World Bank to become UN Data.  The headquarters of both of these Bretton Woods Institutions are however, unfortunately, located in Washington DC where the Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analyses (BEA) has been overestimating GDP for two geriatric administrations, IMF economic growth checks have been without legal consequence since 2021 and the divergence between the economic growth rate and numerical growth in GDP value widens, with the obese Jewish Treasury Secretary’s waistline.  This recount updating UN Data on GNI from 2018 with IMF economic growth rates is slightly lower than prior estimates of GDP, but without a GDP table it is too soon to tell what figure is exact.  The non-academic thing about GDP statistics is the Treasury must not sell more than 3 percent of GDP deficit or will incur a depression in the stock exchange.  Deficits in excess of 3 percent of GDP are therefore, to be bought by and pay interest to the US General Fund balance, held thereby into perpetuity by the 3 percent limit on deficits, rather than squandered on any deficit, real or imaginary, pursuant to Sec. 10,000 of the Echinacea Recount Agenda of 2024.  Population statistics seem alright, India is the most popular country in 2024, with a lovely economic recount and two Indian descendants running for President of the United States.  However, the Commerce Department Census Bureau interfered with the 2020 federal election, must stop infringing racial statistics with confusion regarding Latino race being an “ethnicity”, count people detained in US jails and prisons, possibly stop conducting a Decennial Census whereas it is expensive, invasive, has an election fraud prior and is statistically less skilled than archival population counting methods, and for their international omission since the wrongful termination of the Annual Statistical Abstract in 2011, needs to study international trade, country by country to begin to check customs revenue overestimates in denial of the price elasticity of the Law of Supply and Demand and 3 percent annual Swiss Formula for Unilateral Tariff Reduction (2007). 

 

The Assembly President is advised to redress the loss of statistical balance by UN Data with a vote of no confidence by the UN Assembly in GDP and GNI data, and probably other economic data, since 2018, pre-COVID.  Acceptance of this preliminary recount of GNI, or first recount of a self-determinate UN Assembly, that does not excessively diverge from this work, serves as the basis for re-assessing the scale of assessment for all UN agencies.  The UN Assembly would furthermore lead UN System of National Accounts (SNA) staticians, to totally recount UN economic statistics since 2018, for the approval of the UN Assembly.  Now that the GNI data is preliminarily updated, the Assembly should be able to pass the scale of assessments, that is beyond the capacity of the layman to understand, when once fixed by the General Assembly, the scale of assessment shall not be subject to a general revision for at least three years.  The grudgingly passed 2021 UN System Budget based on the current scale of assessment is absolutely not passing, since 2022, and it is 2024, whereas it is clear that the substantial changes in relative capacity to pay, are illusory, due to overestimation of GNI by UN Data, without regard to arbitrary IMF economic growth estimates under Rule 160 of the Rule of Procedure of the UN General Assembly.  The Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions and Contribution Committee are summoned to examine on behalf of the General Assembly the administrative budgets of specialized agencies and proposals for financial and budgetary arrangements with such agencies under Rule 157 of the Rule of Procedure of the General Assembly.  The transcription and calculus in this GNI table 2018-2024 are done right, with a recently strengthened heart and a three-day rain storm. Egypt and Zimbabwe IMF economic growth estimates in World Economic Outlook, have been overruled by more recent IMF decisions, and other blanks have been filled in at reasonable rates.  For the most part this work needs to be taken as a preliminary review of GNI from 2018 to facilitate the development of an acceptable scale of assessment and produce a 2022-2024 UN system budget.  The UN Assembly should have no difficulty passing a “vote of no confidence in UN Economic Data since 2018 before COVID, citing divergence of the GNI value from the usually credible IMF real GDP growth rate since 2018, pre-COVID-19”.  The Assembly may vote to consent to be bound by the GNI table above by a majority, but any State Party may express a reservation whereby it purports to exclude or to modify a statistic they know better, but might also be cheating, and must justify their reservation pursuant to Art. 2(d) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1980).

To produce an authentic worksheet for the collection of economic data from the Ambassadors to the UN, the President of the Assembly, must take time to ensure the ledger of countries (1) is complete, numbering the alphabetical list helps, the GNI and GDP tables agree there are 197 countries and the United Nations is reported to have 193 members among 196 states, plus the Holy See for 197. (2) does not have any duplicate regional or overseas territories, assumed to be accounted for by their sovereign.  Microsoft Word Table Formula Sum function works best in .htm, just don’t copy the computed total, transcribe it, or pasted numbers and subsequent totals will be scrambled.  Use whole numbers so that there are no transcription errors regarding substituting a period (.) for a comma (,).  Some explanation is wanted for small island developing nations. Known independent islands are included in this total.  Overseas territories are thought to be included in the GDP of the sovereign and have been removed from this GDP total.  Overseas British Territories: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, (Turks and Caicos Islands). Netherlands: Aruba, (Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius), Curacao, Sint Maarten. France: French Polynesia, (Guadalupe), Martinique, Reunion, New Caledonia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Fortuna Islands. Denmark: Greenland. US Puerto Rico, (Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands).  This GDP estimate used only the Federated States of Micronesia GDP for 2018, rather than all of Micronesia, because Palau is independently listed.  After including GDP and GNI estimates of Cuba, Liechtenstein, Monaco, North Korea, Syria and Taiwan, all world territory is thought to be included in the GDP and GNI totals.  The statistical Atlas minimally requires a population study to calculate per capita GDP 2018-2024 and should also prove the population statistics are up to date by adding prior year to current year births, subtracting death, plus or minus net migration, to estimate current year population.  Once UN data is up to date the UN atlas would be a simple matter of reviewing prior year estimates and making current year projection.

It took hundreds of thousands of years for the world population to grow to one billion – then in just another 200 years or so, it grew sevenfold. In 2011, the global population reached seven billion, and in November 2022, it reached eight billion.  Around 2023, India is projected to overtake China as the world’s most populous country.  UN Data Population statistics are ruled - Final figure, incomplete/questionable reliability – as often as - Final Figure, complete.  Nonetheless, numbers marked incomplete by UN data are exactly the same in the table on page 114 the Demographic Yearbook (2022), but are higher on page 692.  For Afghanistan, although 1.5 million refugees are noted, the difference in total population estimates for both sexes is nearly 10 million people, 25 percent, between 32.8 million on page 118 and 41.2 million in 2022 on page 693, the higher is corroborated by the United Nations in Afghanistan and online searches and only the table at the end of the Demographic Yearbook, is considered authentic.  Whereas the World Bank is the only agency to compile statistics on net migration by number, and currently only for 2021, it is not entirely feasible to prove annual population growth or decline using the prior year population, plus births, minus deaths, plus or minus net migration.  Although birth and death data are not entirely up to date, it might be possible to calculate net migration, using reliable annual population totals, to better prove population growth estimates.  Data have been collected since 1948 through a set of questionnaires dispatched annually to over 230 national statistical offices and have been published in the Demographic Yearbook, the latest issue, the 73^rd, is 823 pages long.  Both the Mid-year population on table beginning on page 114 of the 2022 Demographic Yearbook and UN Data population statistics must be cleaned up, so that they are all - Final Figure, complete – and consistent with the second recount of total population data in Annex I: Mid-year population, United Nations estimates: 2013 – 2022 on page 692 of the Demographic Yearbook.  UN demographers should edit their preliminary counts, rather than just overrule them near the end of a long work, to produce consistent and accurate numbers to enter in UN Data, perhaps with footnotes regarding the struggle with misinformation.  UN Data on mid-year Population by country marked, Final Figure, incomplete/questionable reliability must be deleted and a Final Figure re-entered in accordance with pages 692-696 of the Demographic Yearbook 2022.

^a China total adds up mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. ^b Denmark includes Greenland. ^c France includes French Polynesia, Guadalupe, Martinique, (New Caledonia), Reunion, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Fortuna Islands. ^d UN Mission in Kosovo omitted by Yearbook, entered from World Bank data, seeks independence from Serbia, some overlap in population and economic statistics, justifies inclusion of smaller estimates of both. ^e Morocco includes Western Sahara ^f Netherlands includes Aruba, Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius, Curacao, Sint Maarten. ^g New Zealand includes Cook Islands and Tokelau. ^h Taiwan entered with consistent date from online search. ⁱ United Kingdom includes Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands. ^j United States includes American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and United States Virgin Islands.  There are other small island territories with a total population of about 33 million and Kurdistan.

 

The total world population was estimated to be 7.841 billion in 2020 and 7.9751 billion in 2022 by the Demographic Yearbook 2022 on page 46.  The total world population in this work is slightly lower, 7.833 billion in 2020 and 7.967 in 2022.  The 8 million difference in both 2020 and 2022 totals must be the difference between including Taiwan and Kosovo plus 25 million, minus 33 million excluding territories listed above.  The 0.1 percent margin of error would seem to be that of the Demographic Yearbook and not this work.  The Demographic Yearbook 20222 evidently double counted US territories, having used the highest possible US population count, that includes overseas territories.  Other sovereigns are assumed to also account for territories.  The Demographic Yearbook must be held to the higher standard of including Taiwan and Kosovo and excluding overseas territories from the total.  The Demographic Yearbook got into this problem because regional studies tend to include small island territories, that must be excluded from the total because they are counted for by their sovereign.  The solution is to combine China (mainland), Hong Kong and Macao into a single entry, account for Kosovo and Taiwan and exclude territories, to produce an alphabetical list of countries that is exactly 197 nations long to add up.  The Demographic Yearbook should edit the Mid-year population estimates to be consistent with the accurate statistics in the Annex I.  UN Data must delete all Final Figure, incomplete/questionable reliability, derived from Midyear population estimates on pages 116-120 and enter a Final Figure in accordance with pages 692-696 Annex I of the same Demographic Yearbook 2013-2022 as transcribed for 2018-2022. 

 

The 55th session of the UN Statistical Commission was held in New York from 27 February - 1 March 2024 under the theme "Better data, better lives".   The most official population data file is the United Nations Population Division. Department of Economic and Social Affairs. World Population Prospects 2022. Geographic indicators by region, subregion and country, annually for 1950-2100 Estimates, 1950-2021.  The key findings of this world population study of 2018-2021, by country, seem to indicate the final results of the COVID pandemic on vital statistics have been released.  It remains to be seen if the 9.6 percent (2020) and 9.5 percent (2021) increase in mortality normalizes to less than 64.5 million from a high of 69 million in 2021 and 1.8 percent annual increase from 58 million deaths in 2019 norm.   It remains to be seen if the UN Population Division divines whether or not the alarming reduction in births, increase in deaths, and slowing down of total population growth will normalize post-COVID in 2022. In summary, total population is estimated to be 7,676 million in 2018, growing 1.1 percent to 7,757 million in 2019, 1.0 percent to 7,833 million in 2020, 0.9 percent to 7,901 million in 2021 and 0.8 percent to 7,967 million in 2022.  The UN Population Division is hoped to agree to solve for Net Migration in future Demographic Yearbooks.  The inverse of net migration equals, prior year population, plus births, minus deaths, minus next year population. -1(p1 + b – d – p2) = m.

The number of births suspiciously declined -1.4 percent from 140 million in 2018 to 138 million in 2019, -2.2 percent to 135 million in 2020 and -2.2 percent to 132 million in 2021.  In the United States of America there is grave concern that the significant statistical decline in births over the past 14 years, is due in small part to outspoken discrimination against the American tradition of birthright nationality, and large dose of failure to pay the obstetric bill, noted in Sec. 180 of the Echinacea Recount Agenda of 2024.  Birth certificate issuers must stop requiring a mercenary physician's signature, if only due to the extremely obvious corruption of US and UN medicine by ineffective COVID and flu vaccines, that recently reared its bamboozled head with UN accusations against a medical provider dispensing (powerful) antibiotics without (probiotics to treat antibiotic associated colitis) expensive and diagnostic tests although symptomatic use of doxycycline (clindamycin for pregnant women and children under 8), metronidazole (not for use in first trimester of pregnancy) and pneumovax, is as normal as failure to detect localized infections with expensive and invasive diagnostic tests that delay the prescription of medicine, that should be in every medicine cabinet.

The number of deaths increased 1.8 percent from 57 million in 2018 to 58 million in 2019, before alarmingly increasing 9.6 percent to 63 million in 2020 and another 9.5 percent to 69 million in 2021 as the result of excess deaths caused by the COVID pandemic.  It is hoped that the UN Population Division will indicate that there has been a reduction in excess mortality since the official end of the COVID pandemic in 2022 and 2023.  However, the people have not yet been properly instructed in COVID treatment by the government, "Wash your nose; echinacea cures COVID, RSV and flu; hydrocortisone, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint or salt helps water cure COVID, eucalyptus in mentholyptus cough drops cures both COVID and flu".  Having fallen prey in such a major way, to cold and flu vaccine fraud, there is grave concern that the excess mortality continues unabated or only partly reduced, as COVID rages on, in fairly clean sick day survivors, Cold Wars have flared up to the highest intensity since the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and negligent and abusive medical doctors still haven't washed their nose and prescribed echinacea to cure COVID, RSV and flu, after looking down their nose at more than 6 million people who died untreated by anyone but Hospitals & Asylums.  In the USA, after more than a century of decreasing death rates for all ages, despite gradually increasing total numbers, incidental to the passage of Obama's Biden infringed Affordable Care Act of 2010, there has been an increase in deaths of the exact working age persons targeted for extortion by the ACA, although the sky-high death rates of the elderly continued to go down until the advent of COVID in 2020.

Net migration is solved by country, with a global margin of stateless or refugee status.  About 1.1 million are estimated to have become stateless crossing the international border in 2018, 4 million became stateless in 2019, 1.2 million became stateless in 2020 and net 1.1 million, of tens of millions of stateless persons were granted refuge by national immigration systems in 2021, probably due to the availability of placebo COVID vaccines for germaphobic, xenophobes to abuse social phobic aliens with.  Net migration is an important study for UN Population Division.  The UN is the international government and should be responsible for migration statistics.  Improved study of migration would be helpful for preventing war and terrorism due to refouler, involuntary intoxication, poisoning of food and drugs and enslaved recirculation of drug seizures.  The UN must ensure the prompt and total destruction of all food and drugs seized by law enforcement whereas the World Customs Union doesn't seem to do anything but demand drug seizure reporting, and they desperately need this working brain cell in the UN skillset - net migration.  Calculating net migration is a far more important statistic to the UN Population Division than kissing dead women and babies, not to stop complaining about the statistical relationship between the corrupt obstetric bill and the vital birth certificate.  The inverse of net migration equals, prior year population, plus births, minus deaths, minus next year population. -1(p1 + b – d – p2) = m

Per capita GNI, per capita income, is essential to settling the Scale of Assessment for the period 2022-2024 76/238.  It is however at least a week of full-time work to recalculate per capita Gross National Income (GNI) due to the entry of World Bank overestimates in UN Data.  First, it took three days to recalculate GNI from base year 2018 through current 2024 International Monetary Fund (IMF) economic growth percentage estimates, to overrule World Bank miscalculated UN Data overestimates of GNI and Gross Domestic Product (GDP).  Second, it takes a full day to enter total population data from 2018-2022, and an entire week to calculate net migration.  Third it takes eight hours to divide national GNI by national population.  Care must be taken regarding the number of zeros entered into the calculator, whereas population is reported in thousands (000) while GNI is in millions.  To save time it is best to add three zeros to the GNI and divide by the population in thousands, to produce an accurate estimate of per capita GNI, while reducing data entry by six figures.  The COVID pandemic restrictions reduced global GNI and the consequential unemployment reduced per capita income by an average of 3.6 percent in 2020.  Although global average catch-up growth of 5.0 percent in 2021 made up for the depression of the previous year, a minority of countries have not yet recovered the level of GNI they enjoyed before COVID-19 and the subsequent Cold War(s) are depressing.  The IMF economic growth outlook is slowing down from global average of 2.6 percent for both GDP and GNI in 2023 to 2.4 percent for GNI and 1.9 percent for GDP in 2024.

The per capita GNI table is usually subjected to analysis regarding which countries are least developed, middle income and industrialized, by sorting from highest to lowest, or vice versa.  In 2012, countries with less than $1,035 GNI per capita are classified as low-income countries, those with between $1,036 and $4,085 as lower middle-income countries, those with between $4,086 and $12,615 as upper middle-income countries, and those with incomes of more than $12,615 as high-income countries. Allowing for a low level of 1.8 percent inflation, 18 percent over the decade 2012-2022, whereas LDC classification inflated from $1,035 in 2012 to $1,222.  Commensurately, in 2022, the most recent year for which there are reliable, official UN statistics, lower middle-income countries have per capita incomes of $1,222 to $4,820, and upper middle-income countries between $4,820 and $14,886, and high-income countries more than $14,886 per capita income.  Scale of Assessment for the period 2022-2024 76/238 are bound by estimates of gross national income (GNI), especially on a per capita basis, but also as proportion of world income.  For the regular budget in 2024 there is a minimum assessment rate of 0.001 percent and maximum assessment rate of 0.01 for least developed countries.  Assessments are made on the basis of proportionality of national GNI and per capita income, with the United States usually contributing 22 percent of total agency budget request.  Eight Member States are subject to Art. 19 of the UN Charter A/78/707 for minimum payments of Afghanistan ($227,905), Antigua and Barbuda ($21,036), Comoros ($380,484), Dominica ($11,390), Ecuador ($1,913,935), Iran (Paid), Liberia ($22,840), Sao Tome and Principe ($858,022), Somalia ($1,281,624) and Venezuela ($107,922,906)  As of 11 January 2024.  The Assembly decided to allow Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe and Somalia to vote (A/78/2).

 

The Least Developed Countries (LDC) category was established by the UN General Assembly in 1971. The UN defines Least Developed Countries (LDCs) as countries with per capita income below $1,018 for inclusion and above $1,222 for graduation.  Countries must also have a low score on the human assets index and high score on Economic and Environmental vulnerability.  Although only 32 countries qualify with incomes below $1,222 in 2022, the most recent year for which there are official statistics, there are 46 LDCs – (1) Afghanistan ($349), (2) Angola ($2,555), (3) Bangladesh ($2,454), (4) Benin ($1,032), (5) Bhutan, (6) Burkina Faso ($793), (7) Burundi ($276), (8) Cambodia ($1,676), (9) Central African Republic ($433), (10)Chad ($883), (11) Comoros ($1,520), (12) Democratic Republic of Congo ($575), (13) Djibouti ($2,778), (14) Eritria ($600), (15) Ethiopia ($847), (16) Gambia ($716), (17) Guinea ($1,000), (18) Guinea-Bissau ($770), (19) Haiti ($1,250), (20) Kiribati ($2,954), (21) Laos ($2,510), (22) Lesotho ($1,291), (23) Liberia ($467), (24) Madagascar ($506), (25) Malawi ($512), (26) Mali ($716), (27) (28)  Mozambique ($482), (29) Myanmar ($1,174), (30) Nepal ($1,205), (31) Niger ($602), (32) Rwanda ($856), (33) Sao Tome and Principe ($1,956), (34) Senegal ($1,523), (35) Sierra Leone ($526), (36) Solomon Islands ($2,063), (37) Somalia ($499), (38) South Sudan ($320), (39) Sudan ($986), (40 Tanzania ($1,066), (41) Timor-Leste ($1,658), (42) Togo ($957), (43) Tuvalu ($7,091), (44) Uganda ($838), (45) Yemen ($741), (46) Zambia ($1,385). 

 

It is said that 45 of 46 countries who qualify agree to be classified LDC, however there is considerable wiggle room, with two or three states to be included and eight or nine to graduate based on their human asset and vulnerability indix.  With a per capita income of $7,091 in 2022 a vote by the Assembly is wanted to graduate Tuvalu.  Votes to graduate Angola ($2,555), Bangladesh ($2,454), Cambodia ($1,676), Kiribati ($2,954), Laos ($2,510), Lesotho ($1,291) and Solomon Islands ($2,063) are fair, now that the GNI is consistent with IMF estimated rates of economic growth.  The refouler in Haiti ($1,250) is not fair, and now is not the time to graduate to a higher rate of taxation on the basis of $28 per capita estimate.  Votes to include North Korea and Syria are wanted.  North Korea with a per capita income $642 in 2022 is probably the country that resists classification.  Syria, with a 2022 per capita income of $890 needs to be included as an LDC nation since the per capita income has continued to decline from $1,043 in 2019 to the qualifying amount of $970 in 2020, $957 in 2021 and $890 in 2022, the most recent year for which statistics are available.  Tajikstan has been historically excluded, although not quite be graduated with a per capita income of $1,197 in 2022, steadily up from $985 in 2018, but not quite $1,222 yet, and although it should never have been excluded from the list, Tajikstan per capita income seems to be growing just fine without the special treatment and by the current year of 2024 is due to graduate, so there is no need to question the integrity of the LDC list in regards to the omission of Tajikstan.    

 

The 4 non-member states in the current 197 nation list with 193 members are–Palestine, Taiwan, Kosovo and Holy See.  The 197-nation atlas is much more reliable voting ledger, than making arbitrary distinctions regarding membership, except perhaps in closely contested votes, or where the national voting practices are so damaging the deviant voter is ceremonially suspended, there is no justification for discriminating against any of the 197 recognized nations in the historical record of treaty ratifications, and the suspension of Israel membership is wanted to bring the enforcement of UN arrears out of debtor prison and into line with the peaceful principles of the UN Charter and Compensation.  Kosovo has a border with Serbia, 104 votes in the UN Assembly for independence and UN Mission in Kosovo.  Kosovo statistics are too high to not be treated in addition to Serbia.  Taiwan, has been independent of China since 1949, is not accounted for as a Special Administrative Region of China, like Hong Kong and Macao, and must therefore be independently counted.  Palestine is accounted for in statistical entries pertaining to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza that requires better recognition of Palestine, Israel and Jerusalem. along the 1967 border agreed upon since the expulsion of Palestine refugees in the 1948 Nakba.  Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine and Taiwan have a statistically recognized right to membership in the UN.  The Holy See, Kurdistan and other self-declared nations are not statistically privileged to be a part of the whole world, but are entitled to recognition of the UN Observer Missions, nonetheless. 

 

After 76 years of punishing Palestine for attacking Israel in 1948, it is time for the UN General Assembly to vote to suspend Israel membership until they have paid more than $50 billion in reparations to Palestine pursuant to Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  Because Israel has annexed Palestine since 1948, it seems especially important to vote to revoke Israel membership, now that Israel is accused of genocide and is obviously not a peace-loving State, but one who violates the ceasefire because they have prevailed upon the Security Council that Palestine is not a member, and due to excessive use of force Israel is now more unable to pay arrears than Palestine in the race for UN membership after the vote to enforce Art. 5 of the UN Charter in 1948 and 2024.  Suspending Israel membership would reduce the number of Members to 192 before ultimately increasing it to 194 when Palestine ($50 million) and Israel (>$50 billion) have paid their reparations.  To be admitted to membership in the United Nations, an applicant must (1) be a State, (2) be peace-loving, (3) accept the obligations of the Charter and be able to carry out these obligations and (5) be willing to do so pursuant to the Condition of Admission of a State to Membership in the United Nations (1947) under Art. 2 of the UN Charter. 

 

The Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021) must be updated for 2022-2024 to provide a foundation for settlement.  The UN system budget does not seem to have been updated, as of February 2024.  It will be necessary to dredge up old records, that are slightly different than those of the UN General Assembly, that were until 2021 produced by the Chief Executive Board (CEB), and are to be thoroughly analyzed for GNI overestimates before being updated for the coordination of the UN General Assembly and UN Agencies, who must produce the work them-selves.  The 5^th Committee passed. $3.4 billion 2023 budget and Peacekeeping is setting aside money into a fund.  Other agencies must report.  However, funding for UN Relief and Works Administration (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees has suffered treacherous funding cuts in their time of need due to Israeli allegations of 13 of 13,000 UNRWA employees being involved in the Oct. 7 attacks and extensive searches of relief on the Egyptian border, that has also been bombed by Israel, that delay 100 aid trucks and obstruct another 900 commercial trucks, daily.  There is also some distortion to the UNESCO budget as the result of the payment of US arrears in 2023 and for another five years. 

 

The Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021) submits the statistical report of the United Nations system Chief Executive Board for Coordination (CEB) on the budgetary and financial situation of the organization, and requires a vote of no confidence.  Approved budgets 2016-2021 shows the regular budgets of organizations, traditionally equated with regular resources plus any approved expenditure from extrabudgetary sources, without producing a total.  There is no need to doubt the Approved Budget, but the Approved Budget, is not the topic of debate.  The history of Approved Budget is significantly less than the combined total revenues that must be disputed 2020-2021.  UN Agency revenues are only studied from 2020-2021 in the 2022 report, that seems to be the first of its kind, prepared at my request, after comprehensive CEB revenue tables were destroyed.  The Assembly is believed to have overestimated GNI and per capita income, consistent with economic growth overestimations in UN Data.  I destroyed one copy of a table myself, trying to enter overestimates, before I realized a vote of no confidence in needed to protect historical CEB data, that is currently protected only by Hospitals & Asylums (HA), also only repository of the US 2,200 nuclear warhead limit, that shall have to serve as the baseline for the estimation of UN revenues 2020-2024.

 

The Assembly must pass a vote of no confidence in their overestimation of revenues 2020-2021 in the Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021).  The Assembly is obligated to summon the Advisory Committee on Administrative and budgetary Questions to study voluntary contribution growth in accordance with agency reporting and scale UN agency revenue assessments 2020-2024 on the basis of the historical revenues by source 2016-2020, and new GNI data provided exclusively by this study due to the destruction of the official CEB revenue count since 2016.  Global GNI contracted -2.7 percent to $86.6 trillion in 2020, catch-up growth of 5.9 percent to $91.8 trillion 2021, 3.3 percent to $94.7 trillion in 2022, 2.5 percent to $97.2 trillion in 2023, and 2.4 percent to $99.5 trillion in 2024.  Having already been accused of overestimation, UN data and other sources are shy in regards to making estimations of total world GNI.  The dispute is mostly limited to World Bank estimated total global GNI of $85.3 trillion in 2020, slightly less than $86.6 trillion in 2020 estimated in this study, before dramatically overestimating 13.9 percent growth to $97.15 trillion in 2021, although the actual growth rate was much closer to 5.9 percent in 2021, and then 3.8 percent growth, rather than 3.3 percent, to $100.87 trillion in 2022. Neither the world GNI or GDP is expected to exceed $100 trillion until next year, 2025, unless real economic growth sufficiently exceeds the 2.4 percent IMF estimate for the year. With a similar overestimation of revenues in the United States, so far there is no evidence that overestimates ever succeed in extorting real growth in money supply. Revenue overestimates tend to inspire marginal inflationary loss, due to political rejection of overestimates due to price elasticity of the law of supply and demand. To prevent possible real damage by irrational actors, and set the stage for the official repair of CEB revenue estimates, a vote of no confidence in US and UN revenue overestimates is necessary 2020-2024.

The United Nations Chief Executives Board for Coordination table was complicated between 2016 and 2017 to prove the existence of annual - assessed contributions, voluntary contributions (specified and non-specified) and revenues from other activities – and must be sorted alphabetically to compute agency subtotals manually in 2017. Revenues are obligated to grow faster than expenditures, and they usually do, in percentage terms, in order for the business plan that produce a profit in a deficit-less future.  The UN has however overestimated revenue growth at the same time CEB lost their historical balance.  Furthermore, UN revenues have also had a shrinking violet Secretary-General since 2016, who often cruelly and unusually reduces agency assessments, especially for UN Peacekeeping, the largest agency, rather than provide for 3 percent inflation for services to afford a lawful amount of consumer price inflation, or in the case often abolished, defeated and defunded UN Peacekeeping Missions since 2016, save for either new UN Missions and/or annual liquidation of the new UN Peacekeeping fund to pay for the commercial delivery of UN humanitarian assistance and/or UN Compensation to the civilian victims of armed conflict and natural disasters.  In 2021 the UN reported total revenues of $65,890 million comprised of $13,634 assessed contributions (21 percent) $6,748 million voluntary core-contributions (un-earmarked) (10 percent), $40,110 million from voluntary non-core contributions (earmarked) (61 percent), and $5,399 million revenue from other sources (8 percent) in the Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021).  This is now believed to be an overestimate consistent with GNI overestimates.  The UN has falsely alleged that the UN is entitled to a slightly higher than 3 percent rate of growth to get from $60 billion and $70 billion in 42 months between 2021 and June 2023 (Rev. 13:5).  Total UN revenues were estimated by CEB, whose records have subsequently been destroyed, to have increased a whopping 9.2 percent from $48.1 billion in 2016, to $52.5 billion in 2017, before growth moderated at 0.6 percent to $52.8 billion in 2018, 2.2 percent to $54.0 billion in 2019, and 1.9 percent to $55.0 billion in 2020.  Since 2017, historical CEB records indicate growth in UN revenues has usually been less than total GNI growth, until the first disputed year in 2020, when the economy actually contracted due to COVID, but emergency spending was so high.  Consequential to passing a vote no confidence in CEB revenue statistics since 2020 A/77/507 5 October 2022, the UN Assembly is obligated to vote on restoring the historic CEB records to serve as a baseline for re-computing revenue statistics in the Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021).

The Committee on Contributions assesses the capacity of nations to pay for the UN regular budget assessed contributions. Peacekeeping and other specialized UN agencies use a similar method of assessment, although the exact rates vary. There are also voluntary contributions (specified and non-specified) and other sources of revenues. The UN must communicate to Members the assessed contributions budget total, so that they can pay their percentage. This necessary assessment propaganda is somewhat misleading because the assessed contributions budget total is coincidentally about half of total UN regular budget annual revenues, and is reported biannually, so that Members must pay exactly half of the biannual assessment annually, to produce total revenues roughly equal to the total assessment annually, that go undeclared by the Assembly, due to the mathematically rigorous assessment by the Contributions Committee. The income measure is a first approximation of capacity to pay. The Ad Hoc Intergovernmental Working Group on the Implementation of the Principle of Capacity to Pay examined measures of income and agreed in 1995 that national disposable income was theoretically the most appropriate measure of capacity to pay. Market exchange rates are used unless operational rates of exchange are necessary. Some states were eligible for debt burden and low per capita income adjustments. Multi-year payment plans are available to assist Member States in reducing their unpaid assessed contributions.  In 2020 historical CEB records indicate the UN system had total revenues of $54,986 million, rather than $62,599 reported for the same year 2020 by the Assembly in Budgetary and financial situation of the organizations of the United Nations system A/77/507 5 October 2022 (2016-2021).  The difference between historical CEB and A/77/705 total revenue estimates for 2020 of $7,613 million constitutes of a margin of error of nearly 14 percent.  For the sake of producing an accurate baseline for judging estimates of UN revenues, total UN revenues are estimated to have been $54.985 million in 2020, and to increase at exactly the same rate as GNI, 5.9 percent to $58,229 million in 2021, 3.3 percent to $60,151 million in 2022, 2.5 percent to $61,654 million in 2023 and 2.4 percent to $63,134 million in 2024.  The UN thereby has a two-year extension of time until June 2025 from June 2023, to grow the usually impossibly high rate of 10.8 percent, in a year and a half, to generate $70 billion in total revenues within 42 months (Rev. 13:5).

The difference between historical CEB and A/77/705 total revenue estimates for 2020 of $7,613 million needs to be explained.  CEB accounted for total revenues in 2016 and from 2017 to 2020 declared revenues from three sources – assessment, voluntary-specified and revenue from other sources.  A/77/705 Table 2: Total revenue by organization (2016–2021) describes four major categories of revenue received by United Nations organizations, namely: Assessed contributions, Voluntary core (un-earmarked) contributions, Voluntary non-core (earmarked) contributions, Revenue from other activities reflects all other revenue recorded by the organization that is not considered a contribution under the organization’s accounting policies, such revenue can include investment revenue and exchange rate gains.   Table 2A: Voluntary non-core (earmarked) contributions, by organization and funding country/area (2020–2021) contains a summary of the voluntary non-core contributions received by United Nations system organizations from countries and areas.  Table 2B: Voluntary non-core (earmarked) contributions received from certain non-member State donors, by organization (2020–2021). This table covers the total revenues received by United Nations system organizations from defined categories of non-State donors. Data are broken down into four categories: Revenue from the European Commission and its agencies, Revenue from organizations of the United Nations system, Revenue from international financial institutions such as the World Bank and regional development banks, Revenue from foundations, corporations, national committees and other civil society organizations.  Table 2C: Voluntary non-core (earmarked) contributions (2016–2021) shows the total voluntary non-core (earmarked) contributions by organization. Table 2D: Contributions in kind (2015–2021) covers total contributions in kind, by organization.

  

 

 

 

The number of UN Peacekeepers has declined to 78,677 in early 2024 from 100,000 in 2018 and is less than half of 161,386 in 2005.  UN Peacekeeping reports early 2024 numbers. The total number of personnel serving in 12 peacekeeping operations is 78,677.  121 countries contribute uniformed personnel.  1,042 experts, 6,917 police, 1,770 staff officer, 55,762 troops, 11,996 civilian personnel and 1,190 volunteers equals 78,677.  Total fatalities in current operations is reported to be 1,665, 38 percent of 4,345 since 1948.  Since 1945, UN Peacekeepers have undertaken 71 field missions and negotiated more than 172 peaceful settlements that have ended regional conflicts, and enabled people in more than 45 countries to participate in free and fair elections.  The current approved budget for UN Peacekeeping operations for the fiscal year 1 July 2021 - 30 June 2022 is $6.38 billion.  This amount finances 10 of the 12 United Nations peacekeeping missions.  The remaining two peacekeeping missions, the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) and the UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP), are financed through the UN regular budget.  In 2005 alone, UN peacekeeping operations rotated 161,386 military and police personnel on 864 separate flights, and carried 271,651 cubic meters of cargo. Peacekeeping operations undertook long-term charters on 207 aircraft for the movement of 711,224 passengers within peacekeeping missions and DPKO operated or deployed some 220 medical clinics and 21 military hospitals.  The approved DPKO budget for the period from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 was approximately $5 billion. This represented 0.5% of global military spending.  As of early 2018, there were 14 U.N. peacekeeping missions worldwide with more than 100,000 military, police, and civilian personnel from over 120 countries.  Now there are only 78,677 personnel on 12 missions.

It is estimated Secretary-General Antonio Guterres owes UN Peacekeeping $21.8 billion in arrears pursuant to 3 percent inflation for services since 2016.  John the Baptist said to the soldier “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.” (Luke 3: 12-14).  Cruel and unusual budgets cuts since 2016 resulting in a UN Peacekeeping assessment of +/-$6.6 billion, for six years since 2018, have lasted far longer than the 42-month limit (Rev. 13:5).  The consequence of cutting the UN Peacekeeping budget is a distinct deterioration in international peace and security since 2017, COVID and subsequent Cold War(s).  The number of conflicts is the highest since the war in the Balkans, and casualties are the highest intensity seen since the Iraq-Kuwait War, thirty years ago.  To build a just and lasting peace it seems necessary for the UN Assembly to legislate a Peacekeeping Fund to ensure Peacekeeping assessment revenues grow at the reasonable rate of 3 percent annually, although the UN Security Council does not seem to be in the practice of authorizing either UN Peacekeeping Missions, or the special military deployments of the Permanent Members.  Peacekeeping alone may not be the right tool for every situation; it must accompany a peace process, not substitute for one. Working alongside partners such as NATO (in Afghanistan and Kosovo), the European Union (in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and the African Union (in Sudan), UN peacekeeping provides an impartial and widely-accepted vehicle for both burden-sharing and effective action.  The UN Assembly is obligated to ensure the UN Peacekeeping budget, and consequentially international peace and security, does not collapse back to subsistence.  The existence of a Peacekeeping Fund would not only help convince the Security Council to authorize new Peacekeeping Missions, a Peacekeeping Fund could be regularly used to finance humanitarian assistance and UN compensation, whether or not the military necessity of UN Peacekeeping is approved by the Security Council and peace-loving, contributing nations.  The system of compensation for victims of war set forth by United Nations Security Council Compensation Commission for Iraq-Kuwait are applicable to the victims of all conflicts and disasters worldwide. The rates must be doubled, due to 3 percent inflation since 1990.  The Assembly is encouraged to vote today to double UN Compensation Commission rates since 1990, 3 percent annual inflation, for those killed, severely wounded or forced to relocate as the result of international military conflict, and charge arrears to finance UN Compensation and punish voter fraud under Art. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  

 

1. People forced to relocate as the result of military action $2,500 -$4,000 for an individual and $5,000-$8,000 for a family (1990); $5,000 - $8,000 for an individual and $10,000 - $16,000 for a family (2023)

2. People who suffered serious bodily injury or families reporting a death as the result of military action are entitled to between $2,500 and $10,000 (1990); $5,000 and $10,000 (2023)

3. After being swiftly compensated for relocation, injury or death an individual may make a claim for damages for personal injury; mental pain and anguish of a wrongful death; loss of personal property; loss of bank accounts, stocks and other securities; loss of income; loss of real property; and individual business losses valued up to $100,000 (1990); $100,000 (2023).

4. After receiving compensation for relocation, injury or death an individual can file a claim valued at more than $100,000 for the loss of real property or personal business.

5. Claims of corporations, other private legal entities and public sector enterprises. They include claims for: construction or other contract losses; losses from the non-payment for goods or services; losses relating to the destruction or seizure of business assets; loss of profits; and oil sector or heavy industry losses.

To enforce the speedy payment of casualty insurance benefits to victims of armed conflict it will be necessary for the UN Assembly to charge offending nations with arrears in order to prevent certain nations, ie. US, Israel, Russia, Pakistan, Mali, Sudan, and Syria from unlawful votes for war, for instance abuse of the United States Security Council veto, on the rational basis of damage exceeding dues justifying higher scrutiny of their voting practices under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter pursuant to the minimum of two thirds majority vote required by Art. 9(2) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969).  For instance, to enable the Algerian ceasefire proposal to pass in the Security Council it might be minimally sufficient to charge Israel and the United States with the immediate $12 billion cost of casualty insurance and humanitarian assistance for Gaza, whereby the US would pay a $12 billion zero interest loan for Israel arrears today, plus property damage.  The United States could also pay for a zero interest $24.8 billion loan against Saudi Arabian arrears due to bombing Yemen without UN authorization.  However, these zero interest loans from the US, due to complicity with the genocide offender, would count only towards the arrears of the offender.  For the Assembly to enforce the 2,200 US nuclear warhead limit, stop nuclear warhead modernization production until compliant with said 2,200 nuclear warhead limit, and remove the US right to vote for a veto of the ceasefire in Palestine, or against the right to food, in complicity with Israeli genocide, or any other hopefully well explained reason how the US vote goes against the two-thirds majority of the UN Assembly, is harmful, and must be prohibited to prevent the incitement of ethnic violence under Art. 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1978). 

 

Biden’s suspected nuclear tests of the seismic code are of sufficient $24.7 billion gravity to justify enforcement of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (2017) under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter, Res. 1 of the General Assembly, Nuclear-Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban (1996), plus the to be determined damages caused by the improper disposal of the US R410a phase-out that caused Pakistan flooding in 2023 that killed at least 159, evacuated 100,000 for $501 million casualty insurance plus property damage, pursuant to the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (1977) and Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change (2023) whose hottest year ever is solved with 15 parts per million TBC extinguishes oceanic heating railcars, finder keeper.  Thus, the US is hereby obligated to pay $28.2 billion US arrears for UN Compensation casualty insurance today, plus speedy Housing and Urban Development property damage claims, when there is a just and lasting ceasefire.  The US is obligated to account for the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit to reduce Energy Department nuclear weapons spending to 3 percent annual growth from FY 2017, the last year they were compliant, to pay for clean energy programs for the same amount of money, with a bonus of 3 percent inflation in total departmental outlays from FY 2022 in FY 2025 for documenting compliance with the current 2,200 nuclear warhead limit at real FY 2024 levels of spending.  NASA data needs to be reviewed to ensure the integrity of NOAA and Australian Bureau of Meteorology SST Anomaly maps, after a red state was reported to be blue, and seem to somewhat delayed in producing a new chart.

 

Globally, the UN reported the absolute number of war deaths has been declining since 1946, yet, conflict and violence have been on the rise, since COVI-19.  Following 2021, which saw a 56% increase in battle-related deaths from 2020, the increase in 2022 was 142%, with more than 237,000 battle-related deaths. 2022 had the highest number of battle-related deaths in a single conflict-year since the Iraq government offensive towards Kurdistan in 1988.   The preliminary estimate of total battle-deaths in 2023 reported by the news media is 177,000.  This means that as the result of the imperfect ceasefire agreement in the Ethiopian war in Tigray in 2023, there were 96,000 fewer casualties there, but as the result of major war in Palestine and an uptick in the number of wars, the UN Assembly must take responsibility for counting, there were 60,000 fewer casualties than in 2022.  The wars in Ukraine and Ethiopia were the primary contributors to over 237,000 battle-related deaths in 2022. High intensity conflicts in Ukraine and Ethiopia, with more than 100,000 deaths, more than doubled the number war related casualties in 2017.  However, Ethiopia passed a ceasefire in 2022 and violence is much abated in 2023, and since 2022 Afghanistan is not reported to be in a state of war, and could be said to have graduated from war, there are however complaints that their summary executions rival hundreds in Iran and more than a thousand in China, annually.  Non-refouler of Afghan refugees elects Pakistan a UN Observer Mission early 2024 and suggests liberation from torturous US military occupations may be an effective way to end war and begin to win UN compensation for the civilian population.   

 

Although identifying conflicts may have been useful for Peace Research Institute of Oslo PRIO diplomacy in 2022, in 2024 the UN Assembly must vote to begin to account for current wars with more than 1,000 deaths in a year, and be willing to charge Cold War offenders arrears at affordable UN compensation at twice 1990 rates to treat their unlawful voting practices with enforcement under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  There is a dispute regarding the number of wars in 2022 between PRIO and the Wikipedia table of Fatalities Related to Armed Conflict by Country in the List of Ongoing Armed Conflicts entry.  PRIO only counts 8 wars in 2022.  Wikipedia indicates there were 17 wars in 2022 and 20 wars in 2023.  Whereas the Wikipedia table has been used for many years, just republished an update overnight to exclude criminal homicide in Brazil, and PRIO counting of conflicts, rather than wars, evidently results in underestimates due to non-self-incrimination by warring factions.  Brazil was reported by PRIO to have seen a rise in estimated battle- and other conflict-related deaths in 2021, and violence against civilians caused as many deaths as battles, that was corroborated by Wikipedia. However, the nature of armed conflict in Brazil complex and difficult to define as war, whereas criminal homicide seems to have been found to more appropriate and Brazil is no longer historically listed as an armed conflict by Wikipedia.  Approximately 57 per cent of the 2020 battle-related deaths in Brazil were attributable to violence between state forces and unidentified armed groups, or violence between police and political militias, while 42 per cent involved inter-political militia violence.  Cameroon is now the smallest of 20 current wars with 1,042 deaths in 2023, up from 943 in 2022, 790 in 2021 and 1,447 in 2020.

 

According to the Peace Research Institute in Oslo (PRIO), in 2022 there were a total of 137 internationally recognized armed conflicts, 55 state based and 82 non-state conflicts. Fifty-five active state-based conflicts were recorded in 38 conflict-affected countries. Eight of these 55 conflicts were classified as wars – meaning over 1,000 battle-related deaths were recorded within the calendar year - Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Mali, Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine, Somalia, and Yemen.  There has been an increase in state-based conflicts in the past decade, with over 50 such conflicts each year for the past eight years. In 2022, battle-related deaths from state-based conflicts more than doubled from the previous year due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. More state-based conflict battle-related deaths took place in 2022 than any year since 1994.  The only other period since 1946 when more than 50 state-based conflicts have been recorded was during the early 1990s due to the break-up of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. In the Cold War, the United States and Soviet Union often supported different sides in civil wars. However, with the end of the Cold War, the funding for civil wars dried up, and many of the conflicts related to the former Soviet Union were short lived, leading to a substantial decrease in conflict in the late 1990s and 2000s. In 2017, almost half a million people across the world were killed in homicides, far surpassing the 89,000 killed in active armed conflicts and the 19,000 killed in terrorist attacks. More than 99 per cent of all terrorist-related deaths occur in countries involved in a violent conflict or with high levels of political terror. While the number of nuclear weapons has dropped from more than 60,000 during the Cold War to around 14,000 today, nuclear weapons are more powerful today. Cold War fears were clearly re-frozen by the COVID “cold”, in which emergency more than 6 million people perished worldwide from vaccine propaganda, not necessarily telling the masses to wash their nose and take echinacea to cure COVID, RSV and flu.

 

In 2022 PRIO reported 55 conflicts affected 38 countries. In 2022, wars accounted for 17% of all conflicts, up from just 9% in the previous year. PRIO however seems to have difficulty counting deaths and distinguishing major wars with more than 10,000 deaths from wars of a military character with more than 1,000 deaths and alarming rates of criminal homicide.  PRIO counted only eight wars with more than 1,000 casualties spanning Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Mali, Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine, Somalia, and Yemen although Wikipedia counts 17 wars in 2022 and 20 in 2023, but with fewer deaths due to a major reduction in the intensity of fighting in Tigray, Ethiopia. Notably, after several years of intense warfare between the Government of Syria and Syrian insurgents, the conflict is no longer classified as a major war and has deescalated to a war. This marks a significant change from it being one of the two deadliest conflicts for several consecutive years. In 2021, Afghanistan and Yemen were the two most dominant conflicts, whereas in 2022 Ethiopia and Ukraine escalated to be the two conflicts with the greatest number of battle-related deaths. The war between the governments of Russia and Ukraine is one of only three interstate wars witnessed during that year, the other two being low-intensity conflicts between the governments of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and the governments of Iran and Israel. 

 

In 2022, two major conflicts from the past decade declined in intensity: the conflict in Afghanistan is no longer classified as a war and the Syrian civil war and Houthi rebellion in Yemen have been downgraded from ‘major war’ to ‘war’.  In 2021, the war between the Government of Afghanistan and the Taliban was the deadliest conflict in the world for the third consecutive year, resulting in nearly 35,000 battle-related deaths in that year alone. However, the conflict was transformed when the Taliban rapidly captured territory and eventually the capital in August 2021. Since taking control of the government, the Taliban has imposed a strict interpretation of Islamic law, barring women and girls from public spaces and effectively eliminating women’s rights. In 2022, the Government of Afghanistan was recorded in conflicts with IS, the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), and National Resistance Front (NRF), which was aligned with the former government. Additionally, the Taliban government perpetrated one-sided violence during 2022. While battle-related deaths have significantly decreased in Afghanistan, this decline has not extended to other forms of violence. Amnesty International described extrajudicial killings, which are not counted by UCDP, as “widespread and systematic.  Overturning the Afghan refouler wins the Pakistani election.  Afghanistan is furthermore due nuclear earthquake, and Pakistan R410a phase-out flood compensation from the USA and Afghanistan is a model for ending war by ending occupation by the US, that might be more peacefully emulated by Assad’s Syria and democratically elected Iraq.  The major wars in Ukraine, Palestine, Myanmar and Sudan must be treated first, before all wars are treated by descending fatality, as declared herein by the Current War Reparation table, that is based on the Wikipedia List of Ongoing Armed Conflicts.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 is the deadliest conflict in Europe since WWII with more than 200,000 battle-deaths after nearly two years of non-stop shelling.  The Ukraine invasion was the second deadliest conflict in 2022 with 109,600+ deaths and deadliest in 2023 with 95,088 deaths.  With a total of more than 204,688 war deaths, 3.7 million Ukrainians are internally displaced, 5.9 million are refugees in Europe, 186,000 are maimed, 4,000 are POW, and 167,200 buildings were damaged or destroyed.  An estimated 4,000 Ukrainians are still being held as prisoners of war in Russia. Nearly 2,000 of them were the “Defenders of Mariupol,” a southern Ukrainian port city now occupied by Russia.  Russia is believed to have recruited over 100,000 prisoners since it launched its invasion. Prisoners were initially recruited by the Wagner mercenary group, but the group's access to prisoners was revoked in early 2023, as its feud with Russia's defense ministry intensified.  Only 100,000 deaths and 2 million displacements were reported in the former Yugoslavia between 1992-1995.  The war between the governments of Russia and Ukraine is one of only three interstate wars witnessed during that year, the other two being low-intensity conflicts between the governments of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and the governments of Iran and Israel. Russia and Putin’s ambitions in Ukraine span both territorial and governmental control. However, Ukraine has mounted a strong and sustained defense, with $25 billion annual US military assistance, that does not need any more authorization from Congress to punish the Department of Defense for extortionate overestimation of real Army, Navy and Air Force undistributed offsetting receipts, and EU asylum displacement discount. The stalemate is hard on Ukraine who is hard on the autonomous areas where Russian forces have embedded themselves. Otherwise, Ukraine has refrained from the use of force in their international relations and the crime of aggression is all Putin's who comes to court now that the United States has been ejected for not for themselves upholding Art. IX of the Allegation of Genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Ukraine v. Russian Federation) 2022. 

 

As of February 2024, it is estimated Russia owes $20,485 million for death, injury and internal displacement of person, but not EU refugees, plus a to be determined amount of Ukraine property damaged or destroyed by the war, including in the autonomous region, without regards as to whether it was Russian or Ukraine who caused the damage, are to be billed at twice UN Compensation Commission rates from 1990, after 33 years of 3 percent growth, to Russian arrears under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  For a just and lasting ceasefire agreement, Ukraine shall also voluntarily pay a to be determined amount of UN Compensation to all the civilian victims in the autonomous region and administrate its reconstruction, and Russia shall reparate all Ukraine once and Russians and Ukrainians and dual nationals, shall be able to cross the border in peace pursuant to Art. 26 of the Declaration on Social Progress and Development (1969).  Whereas Russian President Vladimir Putin not only abolished term limits, he attacked Ukraine President Volodymir Zelensky, only Russia is currently believed to be due enforcement of compensation with arrears under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  Due to Cold War animosity the US finds Russia to be a credit risk and must charge interest on any reconstruction loan agreement with Russia.  However, if the International Criminal Court will commute the arrest warrant to summons for Ukraine orphans and Putin removes himself from the ballot, and retires from politics, the US, also a non-voting member, will agree to pay for a zero interest Ukraine reconstruction loan against Russian arrears, and the freely and fairly elected, peace-loving, successor Russian President will be eligible for NATO membership.  No territorial acquisition by the use of force shall be considered legal under the Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States (1970).

 

Palestine has suffered more than 27,281 deaths, 2 million have been displaced, 70,336 maimed, and 9,460 detained since Hamas started a war killing 1,200 Israelis, taking 254 hostage, maiming 5,500 and causing minor property damage on 7 October 2023.  Palestine is estimated to owe $35 million in casualty insurance, plus property, more than the initial estimate of $24 million, including property, in Palestine Israel Terrorism Tribunal: Simchat Torah Memorandum HA-4-1-24 due to new evidence of 5,500 maimed presented by Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) 2024.  Israel is estimated to owe Palestine at least $10,535 million in casualty insurance, less than the initial $12 billion estimate, but increasing with every ceasefire violation.  Now that it is 6 February 2024 and the ICJ Cold War Presidency has left office, South Africa must again ask the court to vote on their primary request for a ceasefire and withdrawal from Gaza, that had been censored by the US President and Russian Vice-President.  Failure to vote for a ceasefire has been the leading charge for the removal of US President Biden, Secretary Blinken and Speaker Johnson, from office, since the FBI delivered a relatively large keg of amphetamine to the red flagged Simchat Torah informant.  Netanyahu has slain more than 75 percent of the casualties in the Palestine Israel conflict since the Nakba in 1948.  Property damage shall be reduced by the real value of insured relocation of Israeli settlers from the West Bank to make those vacated settlements available on a permanent basis to Gaza refugees at no cost.  Property taxes shall be levied by Palestine against any Israeli settlements.  Palestine shall issue all building and zoning permits in Palestine.  The plan is that the US will pay a zero-interest reconstruction loan to be repaid by Israel arrears, and over five years for damage to property, Israeli membership shall be suspended pursuant to Art. 5 and Israel shall have no vote for war go unpacified in the Assembly until the amount of its arrears is less than contributions due Art. 19 of the UN Charter.

 

In Myanmar, a total of 15,773 people were killed in 2023, a decline from a high of 20,206 in 2022, up from 11,114 at the beginning of the conflict in 2021.   There are an estimated 960,000 Rohingya in need of humanitarian assistance at refugee camps in Bangladesh due compensation from the prior conflict. 20,000 political prisoners remain detained out of 25,000 arrested.  Rebel groups armed by China proliferate.  Several ceasefires and truces have failed and a proliferation of conflicts has reoccurred, reshaping the country’s conflict landscape. The number of conflicts escalated to five in both 2021 and 2022 as several previously dormant conflicts reignited amidst the unstable situation. One conflict, between the military government and the National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG), was classified as a war, and resulted in more than 1,200 battle-related deaths.  The Sit-Tat, the military junta associated with the military government, has stated that it will subjugate anyone unwilling to live under military rule; the UCDP recorded 616 fatalities from one-sided violence by the military government of Myanmar in 2022.  Consequently, the conflict resulted in 2,164 reported civilian casualties from explosive weapons in 2023, including 745 fatalities, reflecting a 121% and 155% increase in casualties and deaths, respectively, over 2022. The military is linked to 85% of these civilian casualties and 88% of the fatalities.  Ammunition does not seem to be counted.  Myanmar is a major war.  2023 casualties are estimated at more than 3,000 deaths and using the 190% ratio of wounded to dead casualties above, 5,714 wounded in 2023.  Myanmar is identified by at least 50,000 dead and 95,000 wounded since the 2021 military coup, including at least 8,000 civilians, after the strict interpretation of the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (The Gambia v. Myanmar) by the Secretary-General in December 2020 was interpreted by the ICJ Cold War Presidency in 2021 to censure “ Myanmar’s military and security forces responsible, inter alia, for killings, rape and other forms of sexual violence, torture, beatings, cruel treatment, and for the destruction of or denial of access to food, shelter and other essentials of life, all with the intent to destroy the Rohingya group, in whole or in part.”  Myanmar is obligated to pay an estimated $15.4 billion in casualty insurance for civilian casualties, civilian government detained by the military coup and Rohingya refugees, plus 16,500 structures damaged since the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (The Gambia v. Myanmar) 2019 under Art 36 of the Statute of Court

 

Sudan is comprised of about 578 ethnic groups, with 80 Arab majority, communicating in numerous different dialects and languages.  Since 1983, a combination of civil war and famine has taken the lives of nearly two million people in Sudan.  Between 1989 and 2019, a 30-year-long military dictatorship led by Omar al-Bashir ruled Sudan and committed widespread human rights abuses, including torture, persecution of minorities, alleged sponsorship of global terrorism, and ethnic genocide in Darfur from 2003–2020. Overall, the regime killed an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 people.  Protests erupted in 2018, demanding Bashir's resignation, which resulted in a coup d'état on 11 April 2019 and Bashir's imprisonment.  Both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces are accused of committing war crimes.  The Sudanese Armed Forces is the regular forces of Sudan and is divided into five branches: the Sudanese Army, Sudanese Navy (including the Marine Corps), Sudanese Air Force, Border Patrol and the Internal Affairs Defense Force, with 200,000 troops. Since the Darfur crisis in 2004, safe-keeping the central government from the armed resistance and rebellion of paramilitary rebel groups such as the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), the Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) have been important priorities. While not official, the Sudanese military also uses nomad militias, the most prominent being the Janjaweed, in executing a counter-insurgency war.  Somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 people have died in the violent struggles.  Whereas Sudan has received humanitarian assistance from the UN and NGOs, it does not seem necessary to charge for their long history of civil war.  There has been a dramatic increase in casualties since a war registered in 2021 with 1,584 deaths, declining to 1,327 in 2022, before escalating to a major war with 13,225 deaths in 2023.   About 44,448 people have been severely wounded.  As of 29 December 2023, over 5.8 million were internally displaced and more than 1.5 million others had fled the country as refugees, and many civilians in Darfur have been reported dead as part of the Masalit massacres.  UN Integrated Transitional Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) evacuated from the nation under fire and had to destroy their property in 2023, the UN Assembly is highly forgiven to charge Sudan with $29 billion in arrears for compensation for the war since 2021 and major war since 2023 under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.

 

More delicacy will be required of UN Observer Missions assessing state-based reparations in impoverished developing nations with long war histories, depending on the integrity of their vote for democratic peace theory in the UN Assembly, pursuant to Art. 14 of the International Convention against Torture, Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Punishment or Treatment (1987) pursuant to Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Uganda) 1999-2022 and Joint Application Instituting Proceedings Concerning a Dispute under the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Canada and the Kingdom of the Netherlands v. The Syrian Arab Republic) 8 June 2023.  Alphabetical is easier to compare national data in the table and the corresponding paragraph(s).

 

Since Burkina Faso held democratic elections in 2015 – the first in the country’s history, Burkina Faso has been home to two state-based conflicts and many incidents of one-sided violence. The current conflict began with the first of two military coup d’état in 2021 and again in 2022.  More than 8,486 deaths are estimated to have occurred as the result of the war in 2023.  Two state-based conflicts continued between the Government of Burkina Faso and JNIM, an al-Qaida-loyal jihadist group, and between the government and IS. The conflict with JNIM has been growing in intensity since it was first recorded in 2018 and is now classified as a war, resulting in more than 1,600 battle-related deaths in 2022. The conflict between the government and IS is sustained at a low level, accounting for just over 400 battle-related deaths in 2022.  Since the military takeovers began in 2021 more than 10,000 people have been killed and 2.1 million displaced, for a total cost of $10.6 billion casualty insurance, Burkina Faso cannot afford.  Perhaps these claims for compensation in developing nations could be passed to estimate roughly how much UN relief will be needed to ameliorate the damages caused by the conflict, but not be filed for arrears they are unable to pay, except on a case by case basis. 

 

Cameroon suffered 1,042 war deaths in 2023, 943 in 2022, 790 in 2021 and 1,447 in 2020. Cameroon has faced two major violent conflicts since 2017 that must be added together to demand $5,045 million US dollars in UN compensation for 9,000 deaths and 1 million refugees. The bigger conflict, between the government and separatists from the English-speaking minority, started in 2017 and has killed over 6,000 people. It has displaced 765,000 people, of whom over 70,000 are refugees in Nigeria. According to the UN, 2.2 million of the Anglophone regions’ four million people need humanitarian support while about 600,000 children have been deprived of effective schooling because of the conflict. The country also faces a reinvigorated jihadist insurgency with deadly attacks in the Lake Chad area. The war with Boko Haram, centered in the Far North, has killed over 3,000 Cameroonians, displaced about 250,000 and triggered the rise of vigilante self-defense groups. 

 

The Columbian conflict began in 1920s agrarian disputes.  In Colombia at least three parallel and overlapping conflicts continued in 2021: between the government and the National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional, ELN); between the government and dissident armed groups of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People’s Army (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo, FARC-EP); and between the ELN and the Gaitanista Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia, AGC).  The peace accord in 2016 between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the government ended a five-decades-long armed conflict and brought an initial decline in violence. But conflict-related violence has since taken new forms, and abuses by armed groups, including killings, massacres, and massive forced displacement increased in many remote areas of Colombia in 2021.  In Columbia there were 1,932 deaths in 2023, 2,276 in 2022, 1,399 in 2021, up from 765 in 2020 and 238 in 2019.  220,000 people have died in the conflict between 1958 and 2013, most of them civilians (177,307 civilians and 40,787 fighters), and more than five million civilians were forced from their homes between 1985 and 2012, generating the world's second-largest population of internally displaced persons.  The current total is 177,307 civilians killed, 27,023 people abducted, 4,744,046 – 5,712,506 displaced and 340,000 refugeees.  Total dead are more than 220,000 and total casualties 450,000.  The United Nations Security Council established a political mission in 2016 to monitor and verify implementation of the FARC peace accord that was successful until 2020.  The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported more than 60,000 people displaced between January and September 2021 in “mass displacements” of 50 or more people or 10 or more families—the highest figure recorded since 2012.  Columbia is obligated to compensate for the war since 2021 that has taken 5,607 lives, wounded 5,000 and displaced

 

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), since 1996, conflict in eastern DRC has led to approximately six million deaths. The First Congo War (1996–1997) began in the wake of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, during which ethnic Hutu extremists killed an estimated one million minority ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda (DRC’s neighbor to the east).  In 1998, the Second Congo War broke out following the deterioration of relations between Kigali and Kinshasa.  Congolese forces supported by Angola (which also reversed alliances following the ascent of Laurent Kabila), Namibia, and Zimbabwe fought the Rwandan, Ugandan, and Burundi militaries, as well as various rebel groups.  The death toll of the Second Congo War and the associated humanitarian disaster may have reached over three million people by 2004.  The current regime began in 2013 when the UN Security Council authorized the mandate of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) to support the Congolese army against M23.  DRC is home to some of the world’s largest reserves of metals and rare earth minerals used to produce advanced electronics.  DRC is home to 6.1 million people who have been internally displaced.  There were 3,902 deaths in 2023, down from 6,254 in 2022, 6,283 in 2021, 6,162 in 2020 and the beginning of the current conflict in 2019 when +394 died.  MONUSCO charges the advanced electronics industry with 22,601 deaths, for $113 million, including 6.1 million internally displaced persons $30.6 billion, half the $60.5 billion cost of 6 million deaths since 1996.

 

In 2020 Tigray cessation from Ethiopia resulted in a major war, with the foreign nation of Eritria intervening and many guerrilla and political groups extensively killing and raping civilians. It is estimated that since 2020 when the Tigray conflict broke out in the COVID year of 2020 to 2022 when it was the deadliest conflict in the world, 162,000-378,000 people were killed, 3.6 million were displaced, 120,000 women were raped and 20,000 homes damaged or destroyed. Ethiopian and Tigrayan authorities signed an African Union agreement on the cessation of hostilities in November 2022, but Eritria remains seized of north Tigray province and violence continues.  Charging Ethiopia arrears for UN Compensation does not seem to make impoverished, but growing, Ethiopia able to repay arrears.  However, compensation estimates might bring the right amount and type relief from the international community $19.4 – 20.5 billion plus 20,000 homes damaged or destroyed.  Having tried hydrocortisone, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint or salt helps water cure COIVD colds, the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus from Ethiopia, should instruct - During a COVID outbreak the best remedy is to wash your nose, echinacea cures COVID, RSV and flu.

 

In Haiti, since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021, Prime Minister Henry has led the government without a constitutional mandate, as he did not receive parliamentary approval.  Parliament stopped functioning in January 2020, when former President Moïse refused to organize legislative elections. Only 3 of 12 justices of the Supreme Court of Justice continue working.  Armed gangs have intensified control of strategic areas increasing violence.  More than 42 percent of Haiti´s population needs humanitarian assistance and up to 40 percent of the country experiences acute food insecurity.  Nearly 200,000 are displaced, 70,000 precariously. Despite dire conditions, the United States and other countries repatriated almost 41,000 Haitians by air and sea from January 2021 to September 2022, and the Dominican Republic expelled almost 59,000 people to Haiti by land between February and October 2022, including people born in the Dominican Republic but considered by Dominican authorities to be Haitian.  Haiti’s prisons held almost three times more detainees than for which they were built. Many of the more than 11,700 detainees—84 percent of whom were awaiting trial— are living in inhumane conditions.   Nationwide, BINUH reported 1,349 homicides, from January through August 2022 and 877 kidnappings.  The Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), the RNDDH, and the FJKL have documented 20 massacres in Port-au-Prince since 2018, with at least 1,000 victims. There are no charges in these killings.  In the first six months of 2023, there have been nearly 300 confirmed cases of kidnappings in the country, maybe 1,200 a year.  The money should go to improving the conditions of 11,700 detainees.  The UN Security Council has extended UN Integrated Office in Haiti (BINHUH) mandate.  Currently, a UN Peacekeeping Mission to Haiti by Kenyan blue helmet police officers is delayed by the reasonable requirement of the Kenya Supreme Court that the government of Haiti agree to the deployment.

 

Iraq had been in a constant state of war since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.  Between 280,771-315,190 have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S., its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through March 2023. In 2014, the Islamic State advanced into Iraq from Syria.  The United States formed an international coalition of nearly eighty countries to counter the terrorist group. Regional forces—including as many as thirty thousand Iranian troops—joined the Iraqi army, local tribes, and the Kurdish Peshmerga in operations to retake territory from the Islamic State, recapturing Tikrit in April 2015, Ramadi in December 2015, Fallujah in June 2016, and Mosul in July 2017.  The Trump administration sharply escalated the U.S. presence in Iraq in early 2017 to bring a swift end to the Islamic State, and the Iraqi government declared victory over the group in December 2017. Since then, most foreign troops have withdrawn from Iraq, except for a small U.S. presence of about 2,500.  Twenty years after the war with the United States and six years after the war against the Islamic State, Iraq still faces significant challenges in its recovery. Despite more than $100 billion committed to aiding and reconstructing Iraq, many parts of the country still suffer from lack of access to clean drinking water and housing.  Over one million people remain internally displaced, 4.1 million people need humanitarian assistance, and reconstruction is projected to cost at least $88 billion. 

 

The Government of Mali has been at war since 2012 military coup, shortly before the election.  In 2023 Mali is estimated to have suffered 4,285 war deaths.  Since 2012 there have been more than 46,000 deaths.  About 1.5 million have fled their homes, some several times.  The Armed Conflict Location & Event Dataset estimates that 3,300 people were killed during the conflict in 2012, with the number of fatalities dropping slightly in 2013 to 3,150.  The French came and left in 2022.  Individually the conflicts tend to not exceed 1,000 casualties, except the 2,800 killed by the French in 2020.  Mali is engaged in state-based conflicts with both JNIM and IS in 2022. JNIM challenged the government for control over governmental power, while IS was engaged in conflict with the government over northern territory. The conflict with JNIM escalated in 2022 to the highest point since the conflict was first recorded in 2017, accounting for at least 1,100 battle-related deaths. Not only did the civilian government face challenges by JNIM, it also saw a military coup d’état in 2020. A military government was installed in August 2020 with the promise of elections and an 18-month transition to civilian rule. However, only nine months later in May 2021, tensions escalated between the civilian transitional government and the miliary, resulting in a second coup and extension of military rule.  More than 1,000 casualties are assumed for 2023.  Mali must be assumed to continue to host a war for which the UN Assembly is obligated to vote to charge Mali arrears for their unlawful vote to exile UN Peacekeeping, on the basis of up to date civilian and military battle deaths the UN Peacekeeping Mission, whose Dutch computer-consultant I met on the Appalachian Trail, evidently failed to keep enforceable casualty and building damage statistics under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.

 

Mexico drug war estimated death toll is 7,200 for 2023.  The majority of lives lost to conflict in Mexico in 2023 were from events between non-state militia – such as cartels – and civilians, which took around 5,600 lives. Analysis by ACLED ranked Mexico as having conflict of “extreme severity,” with conditions worsening between 2018 and 2022.  Mexican drug war has killed more than 41,034 people in war conflicts between identified parties and a total of 350,000 to 400,000 have died from organized crime homicides since the Mexican drug war was recognized in 2006.  60,000 are missing.  121,199 cartel members were detained 2006 -2009 and 8,500 cartel members were convicted (2006-2010) plus 6,000 more cartel members are sentenced to prison every year, for maybe 50,000 cartel detainees.  Mexico stands out as the country with both the greatest number of non-state conflicts and the deadliest non-state conflicts in 2022. The 17 non-state conflicts in Mexico resulted in more than 14,125 battle-related deaths during the year, involving 24 cartels or cartel factions. Six of these dyads were classified as wars by the UCDP, or conflicts resulting in more than 1,000 battle-related deaths in a calendar year. Cartels, such as the Sinaloa Cartel, Juarez Cartel, and Los Zetas, fight each other for control of drug trafficking routes and often use violence to settle disputes, as credible threats of future violence, or to coerce cooperation. Battle-related deaths increased steadily between 2007 and 2011. This is primarily due to the breakdown in the truce between the Juarez Cartel and Sinaloa Cartel in 2007, leading to more than 8,700 battle-related deaths during this period between the two cartels.

 

Battle-related deaths in Mexico have increased dramatically in the past five years. In fact, 75% of all the recorded battle-related deaths from non-state conflicts in Mexico are from 2018 and onwards. In addition to the spike in battle-related deaths, we’ve seen a proliferation in the number of cartels or cartel factions involved in dyads – from just five cartels in 2009 to 24 in 2022. Many observers point to increased militarization as one factor exacerbating the deadly situation in the country, citing increases in violence following military operations. Another factor is the need to bury all drugs seized at the US border, US deportations of dangerous criminals and Texas International Terrorism for Tattletales precedence.  The Mexican drug war has been intensifying since Trump started buying Texas border walls of perished drugs and violated the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit in 2018, burying Biden in the drug seizures he loves to routinely manufacture into amphetamine with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy FBI drug finance supplement, nearly as jealously as nuking faults, by a factor of 220,000 dead in the 2010 Haiti quake.  Amphetamine washes off with water.  Compensation is complicated by the common problem of state restrictions against compensating criminal non-state actors, who must in fact be obligated to pay the victims of their violent crimes, and learn their lesson at the prison cannabis farm, next to the pit to securely bury perished food and drugs seized by law enforcement, in the Mexican nation of legal marijuana, and for statistical purposes are compensated by the Ministry of Justice.

 

Since mid-2010, Boko Haram has terrorized northeastern Nigeria. Since 2021, the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP) appears more dominant than Boko Haram.  In the following 12 years, according to the Council on Foreign Relations' "Nigeria Security Tracker", over 41,600 people died because of this group (as of October 2022). Millions of people fled south or to the big cities, such as Maiduguri.  Nigeria is reported to have suffered 3,387 civilian deaths in 2023, 88.2 percent of the 3,787 total reported deaths, 585 civilian casualties less than 2022.  Alternatively, Wikipedia list of ongoing conflicts reports deaths at 8,505. Nigeria hosted an estimated 3.1 million internally displaced people as of November 2022^.. Nigeria remained one of the most violent countries in Africa last year. ACLED estimates that the number of political violence events increased by 9% during this period, with approximately 3,700 events recorded in 2022. There were also an estimated 3,900 fatalities resulting from violence targeting civilians, marking a 4% decrease from the record high of 2021, when over 4,000 fatalities were recorded nationwide. These trends, however, are not uniform within Nigeria. The North West and the Middle Belt account for approximately two-thirds of overall civilian fatalities.  As a result of several IS victories and territorial expansion efforts in Nigeria and the Lake Chad region in 2021, IS became the most dominant non-state actor in the region. In 2022, three state-based conflicts were recorded in Nigeria, but only one – that between IS and the government – was classified as a war, with at least 1,030 battle-related deaths. The Islamic State West Africa Province has been active in Nigeria since 2015. In an effort to counter the expansion and dominance of IS in the region, the Government of Nigeria has aligned with the governments of Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. Additionally, the government was engaged in low-intensity conflicts with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, also known as Boko Haram.  An August report by a committee set up by the Zamfara State government to review the security situation in the state revealed that 4,983 women were widowed, 25,050 children were orphaned and 190,340 people were displaced between 2011 and 2019.  The report added that over 3 billion naira (US$6.8 million) was paid to bandits as ransom for 3,672 people abducted during this period.

 

Pakistan conflict often, but not always attributed with hundreds of deaths, rose to 900 deaths in 2022 and became a war with 2,116 deaths in 2023.  Taliban leadership supporting the anti-Pakistan insurgency of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has contributed to a major increase in violence in Pakistan — leading to 2,867 Pakistani fatalities since the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021- November 2023.  Border crossings with Pakistan contribute more than 40 percent of Afghanistan’s customs revenues, which makes up nearly 60 percent of the Taliban’s total revenues.  Anwar ul-Haw Kakar is Pakistan’s “caretaker” prime minister until the country goes through an election (now rescheduled for early 2024), he is believed to be close to Pakistan’s military, and must be charged with war in 2023.  Pakistan’s controversial decision to expel 1.7 million undocumented Afghan refugees from Pakistan — with over 327,000 refugees having already been forced to return to Afghanistan since the expulsion decision was announced, 20,000 were deported.  These 327,000 Afghan refugees are definitely due compensation by Pakistan, who must overturn this patently harmful forced relocation decision to defend against liability and violent consequence for the threatened 1.7 million person refouler in violation of Art. 3 of the Convention against Torture, Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Punishment or Treatment (1987).  The estimated cost of compensation for Pakistan to reverse their discriminatory vote for the terrible Taliban resulting from Afghan refugee expulsion $1.6 billion, for the right of return of only 327,000 Afghan refugees under Arts. 2 and 4, and 14 of the Convention against Torture.  Arrears may be imposed against the nuclear power, specifically to heighten scrutiny of the voting practices of the caretaker government to be elected in early 2024 under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  When Pakistan voting practices regarding the election of a new government, and the unlawful vote to refouler Afghan refugees is overturned, whereby the arrears might be forgiven, especially if the national assembly would swiftly convict the caretaker of war magnitude torture in regards to the right of peaceful Afghan refugees to return, prevent the killer from running on the ballot and successfully host free and fair election(s) with a hastily assembled UN Observer Mission.  

 

South Sudan conflict caused 1,240 deaths in 2023, 1,731 in 2022, 1,986 in 2021, 2,245 in 2020, up from 519 in 2019.  The movement for the independence of southern Sudan began in the 1950s when a decades long conflict broke out with Sudan.  The fighting ended in 2005, when the Comprehensive Peace Agreement wa signed between Sudanese President Omba al-Bashir and John Garang, the leader of the southern independence movement, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) with US help.  A peaceful vote was held in January 2011, and the citizens of South Sudan voted overwhelmingly for independence.  Within 2 years conflict broke out.  Between 2013 and 2018 almost 400,000 people were killed as the result of the conflict and they continue to be killed.  According to the UN, the conflict has displaced nearly four million civilians as of July 2020, half have fled to neighboring countries.  South Sudan is the largest current refugee crisis in Africa.  Many parts of the country are cut off from receiving adequate food aid and medical attention due to the violence.  A more peaceful, just and prosperous future for South Sudan can only happen if perpetrators of mass actrocities are held accountable, victim’s demands for justice are met and future atrocities are prevented. 

      

The Somali civil war is an ongoing conflict between the government and various armed groups from 1988.  Between 350,000 and 1 million people have died since 1991. 2.6 million Somalis are internally displaced. 3.5 million Somalis, including 1.5 million children, face starvation.  The Government of Somalia’s fight against Al-Shabaab has been ongoing since 2008 and has – with the exception of 2013 – consistently been categorized as a war. The Somali Civil War (2009–present) is the ongoing phase of the Somali Civil War which is concentrated in southern and central Somalia.  It began in late January 2009 with the present conflict mainly between the forces of the Federal Government of Somalia assisted by African Union peacekeeping troops and al-Qaeda aligned al-Shabaab militants.  Al-Shabaab, an Islamist insurgency group active in Somalia and Kenya, has progressively gained control of much of rural south and central Somalia and seeks to establish a global caliphate.  For the record, since 2009 there have been more than 65,273 deaths and about 125,000 seriously injured by armed conflict in Somalia.  The number of fatalities has been steadily increasing, with a dramatic escalation to 6,484 in 2022 to 8,342 in 2023, from 3,532 in 2021, 2,950 in 2020 and 2,604 in 2019.  To compensate Somalia for the long-time civil war and redress the current phase of the conflict with Al-Shabaab since 2009, the UN must provide humanitarian assistance to the 3.5 million Somalis, including 1.5 million children and 2.6 million internally displaced facing starvation, and compensate for 65,273 deaths and 125,000 injuries, for a total estimated cost of.

 

The conflict between the Government of Syria and the Syrian insurgents, that began in 2011, has abated from major war to war since 2020.  To date there have been a total of about 380,000 civilian deaths as the result of the Syrian Civil War, that neglects the many deaths of arbitrarily designated combatants, increasing the total death estimate at the beginning of 2024 to 420000.  In 2019 Syrian war caused 11,244 deaths, before declining to 7,620 in 2020, 5,828 in 2021, 5,639 in 2022 before increasing to 6,211 in 2023.  Since 2011, more than 14 million Syrians have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety. More than 6.8 million Syrians remain internally displaced in their own country where 70 percent of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance and 90 percent of the population live below the poverty line. Approximately 5.5 million are refugees.   Tens of thousands of civilians arbitrarily detained in Syria remain forcibly disappeared, estimated at 30,000 equal to the number thought to have been executed or killed in detention during the civil war.  The Government of Syria is backed by Russian military and diplomatic support. However, with the invasion of Ukraine, the Government of Russia has decreased its military presence in Syria. The United States is not authorized by the Syrian Government to be deployed there, and is highly advised to evacuate the area, and airspace, due to the unlawfulness of the US presence and Biden’s Presidential missions there, and use diplomatic channels.

 

The Application of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Canada and the Netherlands v. Syrian Arab Republic) 2023 contends that Syria has committed countless violations of international law, beginning at least in 2011, with its violent repression of civilian demonstrations, when several juveniles were murdered in detention after they had spray-painted anti-government slogans in a public place, officially starting a civil war. The violent repression continued as the situation in Syria devolved into a protracted armed conflict between the Syrian government and militants bolstered by large numbers of disaffected soldiers.  In Syria, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights observed that of the 350,209 confirmed civilian deaths in Syria between March 2011 and March 2021, 12,259 of these deaths were as a result of the “use of objects and other means” (including sexual violence, death in custody, torture, strangulation, mutilations, beheadings, and hanging), and 1,295 deaths due to the use of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) weapons. It would seem that the torture culture of Abu Ghraib Prison in US held Iraq, spread across the border to Syria, due to the leaking of amphetamine, manufactured from large warehouses of drugs, especially the regionally popular antidepressant Captagon, to sell methamphetamine to Lebanon, and leak dimethoxymethamphetamine (DOM), that causes a three day panic attack followed by six month recovery from severe mental illness, if not washed off with water, on the Syrian population, including, especially the Syrian armed forces. It is therefore suggested that Syria, like all nations, must destroy all drugs seized by law enforcement, including all chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons held by the Syrian government, by secure burial, to make it easy for the bruised egos of the Syrian armed service, veterans and militants, to comply with the Convention against Torture.  Compensation is estimated at

 

In Yemen Houthi rebels overthrew the government in 2014. Subsequently, over 150,000 Yemenis have been killed in battle, including 15,000 civilians, and another 277,000 have perished from famine, for an official total of 377,000 war casualties, although that comes to 427,000.  4 million have been displaced from their homes.  It is estimated that 525,000 were seriously wounded.  Property damage is not accounted for.  The multi-billion-dollar World Food Program runs on casualty insurance estimates.  Yemen must not be sold short with promises of lousy WFP food, that is in addition to any reparation from Saudi Arabia or shipping companies.  Rebuilding is not feasible until the Houthis tribes surrender to the Presidential Leadership Council and punish Red Sea and Gulf of Aden piracy and ceasefire violations until the Yemen Coast Guard is legitimate enough to accept food shipments at wholesale value and be heard when they object to the war and deprivation of food in Gaza, without any tactics of war.  Saudi Arabia air forces launched more than 25,000 bombing missions without UN authorization as the wealthiest and most destructive member of a multinational force to fight the Houthis in 2015. In 2021, 23,256 battle-related deaths were recorded in the fight between the Government of Yemen and the Forces of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC). In April 2022, the conflict parties agreed to a UN-mediated ceasefire, when the eight-member Presidential Leadership Council was formed. Following two ceasefire extensions, the ceasefire lapsed in October. Despite this, both sides have been mostly maintaining their parts of the agreement, and by the end of 2022, the conflict had resulted in 2,899 battle-related deaths, a significant decrease from the previous year.  Wikipedia reports slightly higher deaths the major winding down from 16,050 in 2019, 19,561 in 2020, spiking to 31,048 in 2021, before going down to 7,133 in 2022 and 3,169 in 2023.  While the conflict has significantly de-escalated, the humanitarian situation remains in a dire state, largely referred to as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with 21.6 million people requiring some form of humanitarian assistance.  The $24.8 billion casualty estimate for the 2014-2024 decade has been nearly entirely consumed by the multibillion-dollar annual World Food Program for Yemen, where more died of starvation than war, in the largest recent famine.  Food not bombs needs to bill Saudi Arabia for compensation, in whole or in part.  Saudi airstrikes were not authorized by the UN.  Building damage statistics are unavailable and must be studied, whereas it may ultimately cost more than double.  $24.8 billion casualty insurance estimate for Yemen must be immediately billed to Saudi Arabian arrears, with availability of a zero interest US complicity loan, by the UN Assembly under Art. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.  In addition, a reasonable toll, in cash or wholesale food, must be imposed on all shipping that passes through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, known as the Gate of Grief or the Gate of Tears, by the UN Assembly, relevant agencies and the Presidential Leadership Council to finance Yemen and any other starving nations in the area.

 

Biden’s alleged nuclear tests of the seismic code, must sued for compensation to redress his peculiar nuclear fault with 18USC§831 in 18USC§1961(1) and reporting obligation under section 92 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 42USC§2122 in 18USC§1956(c)(D) for which the concealment of both Biden for use, and Trump for financing  an unlawful buildup, are disqualified to hold any federal office under 22USC§6303 and 18USC§2071, except the 2024 vote about which is the geriatric cold war offender - “Who should have won the 2020 election?”.  Furthermore, the imperative of prohibiting fraudulently elected US leadership from voting against a ceasefire in Palestine, warrants the US to be politely disqualified from any voting that offends the enforcement of the majority opinion, due the $24.7 billion cost of casualty insurance for 68,368 dead, 4,190,734 displaced, 153,878 injured and 200 detainees, plus 406,500 damaged and destroyed buildings, roads and infrastructure in 8 nations – Haiti, Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Libya, China and Japan – Biden’s $100 billion nuclear fault.  It is hereby decided the United States must stop all nuclear weapon modernization production to account for the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit.  The President (Department of Energy, Nuclear Weapons Administration) must demonstrate accountability for recycling all nuclear grade radioactive material in civilian electricity generating nuclear reactors, in excess of the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty limit for the US of 2,200 nuclear warheads under Arts. 5 and 19 of the UN Charter.

 

Besides fatal nuclear fault, President Biden’s, otherwise overruled extortionate overestimating Administration, is noted only to have relapsed on the Office of National Drug Control Policy grant administration by the White House.  While the Court may believe Biden is not responsible for the crimes he commits under the influence of amphetamine, Biden is not only to be held criminally responsible for his patently deadly earthquakes, but as a co-defendant with the US President of the International Court of Justice (2021-2024) and Secretary of State, for intoxicating other people, especially Putin and the Simchat Torah attackers, a serious crime intending to start a major war for which the intoxicated perpetrators are technically not criminally responsible, on a scale not seen since the FBI dosed the 9-11 suicide attackers to make war near Iraq in 2001.  The World Customs Union does not tell whether or not to destroy the food and drugs they seize and intoxication is grounds for excluding their drug consumers from criminal responsibility for the some of the most heinous Acts in the world under Art. 31(b) of the Rome Statute.  National customs agencies must declare the status of the destruction of weapons, food and drugs they seize, and therefore consider perished, to prevent corrupt recirculation and amphetamine manufacturing.  Secure burial of food and drugs, in a dedicated and secure landfill is thought to be safest mode of destruction, due to incinerator emissions and residue (Luke 3:17) Post-COVID Customs Declaration HA-15-1-24.    

 

The identity theft by Interior Department law enforcement that triggered the President’s antidepressant purchase from the Texas border wall to manufacture amphetamine in Oregon, exporting the national supply of amphetamine usually used to expose red flagged rampage shooters, to the Simchat Torah attackers, is noted to divert attention from nuclear weapon overproduction and extortion related to Los Alamos Parks HA-13-10-23.  Mass shootings and crime in the US are reported to be considerably abated thanks to Hamas taking the keg for FBI red flagged domestic rampage shooters and new rule advocating the destruction (by secure burial) of all food and drugs seized by law enforcement.  Documented destruction, by secure burial, of drugs seized by law enforcement and customs is believed to be the most effective way to reduce war, uncompensated food and drug destruction by law enforcement, and other random acts of violence, suicide and severe mental illness worldwide.

 

Compensation should be prioritized for uninsured earthquake victims, second only to the victims of declared armed conflicts, especially major international wars, for which no amphetamine intoxicated nuclear terrorist’s belief in secrecy obstructs prosecution.  The obligation for the USA to pay may seem somewhat shaky, however, nuclear fault victims are equally entitled as victims of declared armed conflict, to UN Compensation.  Biden is not only accused of hostile behavior, he is guilty of negligent oversight of the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world. The President is defenseless without reporting the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit, set by President Obama and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review conference of 2012, to stop this nagging suspicion, that now fingers Jo Biden, by name, who demonstrates a total lack of accountability for the exact number of warheads, that can only be redressed by the enforcing the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit, the only credible number.  Decadent Congressional extortion of money, $50 billion a year for the decade, for an unaccountable nuclear weapons programs to hyperinflation today on the imaginary basis of a decadent cost projection that is neither pegged in reality nor inflation, for which Energy Department clean energy budget is severely punished.  The plan to dismiss the outrageously imaginary bribe Congress frivolously pays for best behavior of an allegedly active nuclear weapon offender, is to sustain the high real level of funding FY 2024, when there will be an inquiry into the disposition and UN enforcement of the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit.  Then when the work is done, the US will reduce Nuclear Weapons spending to 3 percent inflation since FY 2017, the last year the US complied with the 2,200 warhead limit, and reinvest in clean energy FY 2025.  A bonus of up to 3 percent inflation of total DOE outlays since FY 2022, may be awarded for accountable compliance with the 2,200 nuclear warhead limit and satisfactory prosecution of the use, loss, theft and illicit transfer of nuclear weapons to non-nuclear weapons states, consequential to overproduction.

Haiti's Enriquillo Plantain Garden Fault, twice, on January 10, 2010, a quake of 7.0 magnitude struck at a depth of 8.1 miles, causing an astounding 220,000 deaths, and again on August 14, 2021 a quake of 7.2 magnitude struck at a depth of 6.2 miles, incidental to the discovery that 100 percent of Moïse assassins were State Department International Military Education graduates, after new building codes, another 2,220 died. Having paid compensation for the January 2010 quake, there remain 2,222 casualties from the August 2021 quake, plus displaced persons and property damage, President Biden is not believed to have paid for, while Haitian security has deteriorated badly. UN relief web estimates total economic damage and losses from this quake at US 1.6 billion, or about 10 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). Some 2,528 people are still displaced as a result of the earthquake. The total area affected covers 500 square kilometers and over 800,000 people have been directly affected. There were 2,248 deaths, 12,200 injuries, 650,000 were displaced and 137,500 buildings were damaged. Casualty insurance is estimated at $3.3 billion. 

 

A just and lasting compensation is due for Haiti, the poorest nation in the Americas.  It might be paid with a public trial of an international poverty line benefit, in pursuit of a 1 percent UN income tax to instantly end extreme poverty worldwide, financed in perpetual pursuit of the one percent world income tax, or just once, for Haiti to pay cheaply for maybe two years, by abolishing all international security assistance of the Department of State except Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism and Deming, and transferring +/-$8.5 billion, rarely spent, pursuant to the one percent world income tax proposal in Sec. 1,100 of the ERA of 2024. The State Department is encouraged to sue Congress annually to continue the one percent world income tax trial in Haiti by the 42-month limit on $60-$70 billion, the State Department, and not the UN, are believed to have achieved, although accounting of both roughly equal foreign empires, has been delayed due to overestimates (Rev. 13:5).

 

Turkïye and Syria East Anatolian Fault, on February 6, 2023 a quake of 7.8 magnitude struck at a depth of five miles, causing 50,000 casualties, right after the US Treasury sent an official to discuss sanctions against Russia. The confirmed death toll stood at 59,259: 50,783 in Turkey and 8,476 in Syria. 107,204 injured were injured in Turkey and 14,500 in Syria.  2.7 million people were displaced in Turkey and 103,472 in Syria.  Damages were estimated at US$148.8 billion in Turkey, or nine-percent of the country's GDP, and US $14.8 billion in Syria. Damage to persons is estimated at $8.4 billion. Any compensation paid by negligent builders, going to jail in droves, is in addition. US disaster relief assistance in the immediate aftermath of the quake can be reduced from the bill for the US share of property damage.  Casualty insurance alone is estimated at $14.3 billion for Turkey and $3.3 billion for Syria.

 

Morocco's Marrakech mountain fault between the African and Eurasian Plates on September 8, 2023 at 11:11 pm, a 6.8 magnitude quake struck at a depth of 11 miles, causing more 2,000 casualties, a crime against the proposed admission of the African Union into the G20 by India Prime Minister Modi. A total of 2,946 people died, 5,674 were injured and 500,000 were internally displaced, for total damage to persons of $2.5 billion, plus property damage to 78,000 buildings.

 

Libya's Mediterranean Tropical Cyclone Daniel caused an estimated 4,361 deaths (8,500 missing) and 44,862 displaced persons, due to 7 meter high tsunami destroying two dams, on September 10 and 11, 2023, after careening through Greece, Bulgaria and Italy. Casualty insurance is estimated at $237 million plus property damage to 400 mud buried buildings and dams.

 

Afghanistan was hit by a wave of earthquakes between 7th and 15th October, in a region without faults, in 2023 reaching a magnitude of 6.3, directly affecting a total of 43,400 people across six districts. According to UN figures, as of 16 October 1,500 people have been killed and over 2,000 injured, for a total of $235 million casualty insurance, plus property damage to 2,000 buildings.

 

Japan has been more or less compensated with reconstruction and decades of friendship subsequent to the 1946 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Japan's, Pacific Rim Subduction Zone, on March 11, 2011 the 9.2 magnitude Tohoku earthquake struck at a depth of 15 miles along the, causing 19,759 deaths and the Fukushima meltdown that brought Obama into compliance with the NPT. Approximately 20,000 people lost their lives and over 2,500 are still officially reported as missing, while a further 6,000 suffered injuries. In total, over 470,000 people were evacuated from their homes, for a total cost of $2.5 billion. The US is not believed to have paid any reparation or been accused. Japan is believed to be insured. The January 1, 2024 Japan quake caused 430 fatalities and over 600 were injured. 62,000 people were ordered to evacuate. Casualty insurance is estimated at $315 million plus property damage to 4,000 homes and roads.

 

The China quake, on 18 December 2023, shortly before the 1 January 2024 Japan quake, was incidental to the Colorado Trump disqualification case that was believed to have been shadowed by a Presidential mission of the Colorado National Guard and Air Force Academy, the third such crime of aggression, including a drone attack on Moscow, and the Morocco quake, and Libya flood treated herein, and incidental to a visit to China by Blinken to make one of his untimely accusations of human rights abuses in Hong Kong, ie. After the wrongfully detained, non-convicted Uygur minority had been released from work camps, and terrorism had been eliminated, and then on false pretenses, the US under the influence of Pelosi, unchecked by the State Department, rudely boycotted the Olympics in China. 149 people were killed, nearly 1,000 were injured and more than 87,000 were resettled, and 14,000 homes were destroyed.  Casualty insurance is estimated at $441 million, plus damage to 14,000 buildings and roads. 

 

California, twice on December 20, 2021 a quake of 6.2 magnitude struck the Fuca/Gorda plates at a depth of 16.8 miles, and December 20, 2022 another quake of 6.4 magnitude struck the Mendocino Fracture Zone, at a depth of 11 miles, causing two fatalities, costing Biden $10,000, plus property.  There are other small earthquakes in the US that are suspicious. 

 

An unspecified but relatively small amount of US compensation for the Colorado Air Force Academy drone attack on Moscow might be a nice way for the UN to start off the exchange of reparations from Russia and also from Ukraine to the badly damaged separatist area.  Relatively small UN Compensation settlements should be treated like lottery tickets to the peaceful resolution of major wars for an affordable amount of bona fide benefits.  The most ambitious UN Compensation winning ticket would require relaxing the restriction on international compensation payments to insured combatants, to stop US, Iraq and Syria hostilities, by ceasing to blame Iran proxies pursuant to Alleged Violations of State Immunities (Iran v. Canada) 2023, immediately returning to Iran oil money seized by the FBI pursuant to Certain Iranian Assets (Iran v. USA) 2023, with remand of the stolen bank assets to the Court so that the FBI/US is not acting to conceal (steal, threats and violence) any Iranian assets. 

 

The US has 2,500 troops in Iraq, and 900 in Syria, without authorization of the government, and about 350 in Jordan, where 3 US servicemembers were killed and 14 wounded in a recent drone attack.  40 people were killed, 16 Iraq Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq were killed and 23 wounded and 23 armory guards in Syria were killed, in the first of a threatened ongoing retaliation by President Biden and prostate Austin, that must be halted.  Retaliation is an additional impeachable offense to reprehensible voting against the ceasefire in Gaza.  Biden’s treasonous vote against a ceasefire in Palestine is so dishonorable US troops stationed in the area have been bombarded some 160 times since Oct. 7.  Their plea to be immediately evacuated from the region is heard.  Only one out of three of Biden’s sons has survived this long.  Biden’s Presidential missions are prejudicial to the enemy, meaning we would be outraged if the enemy perpetrated such acts and omissions.  US diplomacy is deluded by FBI red flags and this jeopardizes the lives of US troops as well as regional stability.  Targeting Iran weapons buyers does not discipline Syria and Iraq armed forces and is specifically prohibited by the Court.  The US deployment to Syria does not have the permission of the Syrian government to be there and the US is highly obligated to withdraw from Syria and must not engage in evasive and escalatory behavior on the topic of possibly being the biggest killer on trial in that Application of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Punishment or Treatment (Canada and Netherlands v. Syria) 2023. 

 

The 4 non-member states in the current 197 nation list with 193 members are–Palestine, Taiwan, Kosovo and Holy See. Kosovo has a border with Serbia, 104 votes in the UN Assembly for independence and UN Mission in Kosovo.  Kosovo statistics are too high to not be treated in addition to Serbia.  Taiwan, has been independent of China since 1949, is not accounted for as a Special Administrative Region of China, like Hong Kong and Macao, and must therefore be independently counted.  Palestine is accounted for in statistical entries pertaining to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza that requires better recognition of Palestine, Israel and Jerusalem. along the 1967 border agreed upon since the expulsion of Palestine refugees in the 1948 Nakba.  Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine and Taiwan have a statistically recognized right to membership in the UN.  The Holy See, Kurdistan and other self-declared nations are not statistically privileged to be a part of the whole world, but are entitled to recognition of the UN Observer Missions, nonetheless.  Because Israel has annexed Palestine since 1948, it seems especially important to vote to revoke Israel membership, now that Israel is accused of genocide and is obviously not a peace-loving State, but one who violates the ceasefire because they have prevailed upon the Security Council that Palestine is not a member, and due to excessive use of force Israel is now more unable to pay arrears than Palestine in the race for UN membership after the vote to enforce Art. 5 of the UN Charter in 1948 and 2024.  Russia and the United States must compensate for their damaging vote (veto) under Art. 19 of the UN Charter.  Mali and Sudan violently expelled UN Peacekeeping Missions.  Pakistan caretaker government refoulered Afghan refugees, owed compensation, and got a war. Syria needs to elect a new leader to vote, if Assad does not pay compensation in full.  Saudi vote must be reviewed for bombing food in Yemen.  The Holy See has been included in the 197 nation atlas after discovery that Aruba is a Dutch territory.  To be admitted to membership in the United Nations, an applicant must (1) be a State, (2) be peace-loving, (3) accept the obligations of the Charter and be able to carry out these obligations and (5) be willing to do so pursuant to the Condition of Admission of a State to Membership in the United Nations (1947) under Art. 2 of the UN Charter.

 

As of 11 January 2024 eight Member States are subject to Art. 19 of the UN Charter A/78/707 for minimum payments of Afghanistan ($227,905), Antigua and Barbuda ($21,036), Comoros ($380,484), Dominica ($11,390), Ecuador ($1,913,935), Iran (Paid Add. 1), Liberia ($22,840), Sao Tome and Principe ($858,022), Somalia ($1,281,624) and Venezuela ($107,922,906).  The Assembly decided to allow Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe and Somalia to vote (A/78/2).  Remedial voting is to be extended to LDCs on an equal basis with non-member states (Holy See, Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan), and industrialized nations whose votes offend the Muslim majority and bills for UN Compensation exceed two years of dues – Israel ($50 billion), Mali ($5 million), Myanmar ($30 billion), Pakistan ($1.7 billion), Palestine ($50 million), Russia ($100 billion), Saudi Arabia ($24.8 billion), Syria ($60 billion), and the United States of America ($150 billion) are charged with arrears due to UN Compensation in excess of two years of dues and may be criticized for their vote under Art. 19 of the UN Charter.  Israel is singled out for a vote of equal confidence with Palestine in regards to their “Membership” under Art. 5 of the UN Charter.  Many current wars are neglected to be treated with arrears due to the perceived inability of the developing nation to pay – Burkina Faso, Columbia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Mexico, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan, and Cameroon.  The Assembly is encouraged to finance humanitarian assistance and UN Compensation for the victims of these wars in the absence of, or in conjunction with any Security Council authorization for a UN Peacekeeping Mission.

The UN Assembly is sought to charge $439 billion in arrears, to pay $148 billion in casualty insurance benefits, including the regular UN due process of the $107,922,906 Venezuelan famine, plus $4,717,236 of regular UN due process, amounting to $112,640,142.  The United States has offered $10 billion humanitarian assistance Funds authorized to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for a fiscal year for humanitarian assistance shall be used for the purpose of providing transportation of humanitarian relief and for other humanitarian purposes worldwide 10USC§2561.  It is lunchtime and I would gladly trade some promises of money for humanitarian assistance.  If properly approved by the Security Council, this annually renewable $10 billion humanitarian assistance fund would immediately reduce by $10 billion the total arrears owed by both the United States of America ($150 billion to $140 billion) and the Secretary General of the United Nations ($22 billion to $12 billion) in 2024, and the neutrality of UN Peacekeeping authorized US military delivery of humanitarian assistance would be respected moral rehabilitation of US Presidential Missions and not increase the deficit to enforce Pay-as-you-go 2USC§902.  Humanitarian assistance, rather than the prophesied trial in Haiti of an international poverty line benefit program for all of America before the UN would tax income 1 percent, could be supplemented by the State Department abolition of about $8.5 billion of duplicitous International Security Assistance, that for instance illegally threatens to supply munitions in contempt of the Israel genocide trial, and non-need of Israel and Taiwan, except Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism and Demining.  The $65 billion for Ukraine from the USA, who no longer has to vote to supply Ukraine with $25 billion in weapons annually, until Russia upholds a ceasefire, must be repealed due to corruption prejudicial to the Russian elections and EU billed for humanitarian assistance to increase the per capita income in Ukraine from $2,423 to something competitive with $11,487 per capita to a Russian prison conscript on a Security Council authorized ceasefire in the Ukraine.
