Among them is Tsige Mebrthatom, a mother of six who has faced immense hardship but finds strength in these weekly gatherings. Tsige fled her home in Kefta Humera after losing her husband during the conflict in Northern Ethiopia, traveling on foot for five days to reach the Endabaguna camp. Once a thriving merchant in Addis Ababa, her hopes for a fresh start were shattered by the outbreak of conflict in Tigray. Now living in Maidimu, Tsige is one of over 5,000 displaced individuals.

The landscape, once filled with thick blue ice, now reveals bare rock and a newly formed meltwater lake. A team of scientists ascends the glacier to install equipment that measures water accumulation in the form of snow, vital for the glacier's survival. Their work provides crucial data on the impacts of ice loss on ecosystems and communities relying on glacier water. This research aids in raising awareness among decision-makers and establishing an international monitoring network to understand how climate change affects the cryosphere. As glaciers retreat faster than expected, efforts in Bolivia focus on conserving remaining water by creating reservoirs and developing collaborative water usage arrangements to prevent future conflicts.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row bottom-rows two-cards indented-row bottommargin-sm">  <div class="col-md-6"> <div class="unorg-home-square"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8

Ever since, the development of, and respect for international law has been a key part of the work of the Organization. This work is carried out in many ways - by courts, tribunals, multilateral treaties - and by the Security Council, which can approve peacekeeping missions, impose sanctions, or authorize the use of force when there is a threat to international peace and security, if it deems this necessary. These powers are given to it by the UN Charter, which is considered an international treaty. As such, it is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. The UN Charter codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.</p> </div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section section-fluid main-bodies"> <div class="container">  <div id="un_org_home_main_bodies_of_the_organization"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3"> <div class="heading-block topmargin bottommargin-sm"> <h2>Structure of the <br>United Nations</h2> <p class="intro"><p>The main parts of the UN structure are the <a href="http://www.un.org/en/ga/">General Assembly</a>, the<br /><a href="https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/">Security Council</a>, the <a href="http://www.un.org/en/ecosoc/">Economic and Social Council</a>, the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/trusteeship-council/">Trusteeship Council</a>, the <a href="http://www.icj-cij.org/en">International Court of Justice</a>, and the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/sections/about-un/secretariat/">UN Secretariat</a>.
