28 October 2024
At the fourth Ukraine – Nordic Summit in Reykjavik on 28 October, the Prime Ministers of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden and the President of Ukraine issued the following statement:
I. We, the leaders of the Nordic countries reaffirm our unwavering commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and security. Our comprehensive support for Ukraine is steadfast and will continue for as long as it is necessary. The Nordic countries have thus far provided Ukraine with more than 20 EUR billion in military, financial and humanitarian support. Substantial amounts have been allocated to meet the pressing needs ahead of the coming winter, including the winter package focusing on energy, social resilience and humanitarian support, delivered during the Nordic Baltic Foreign Ministers' recent visit to Odesa. The Nordic countries will continue to seek new avenues for supporting Ukraine and its people, while it continues to fight off Russia's aggression.
II. Ukraine’s fight for its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders directly contributes to Euro-Atlantic security. The Nordic countries attach special importance to developing deep, comprehensive and long-term security cooperation with Ukraine and ensuring a secure future for both Ukraine and the Nordic countries for generations to come. The Nordic countries underscore their commitment to ensuring full and efficient implementation of the bilateral agreements on security cooperation and long-term support in close coordination with Ukraine. The bilateral agreements on security cooperation and long-term support between Ukraine and each of the Nordic countries serve as a solid ground for strengthening their mutual security. The Nordic countries will continue to assist Ukraine through military, financial, and humanitarian support in the framework of these agreements. The Nordic countries and Ukraine welcome the Ukraine Compact presented on the margins of the NATO Summit in Washington D.C. in 2024 providing a framework for supporting Ukraine in the short, medium and long term. The Nordic countries and Ukraine support the G7 Joint Declaration of Support for Recovery and Reconstruction of Ukraine.
III. The Nordic countries underline their interest in the further development of cooperation with Ukraine's defence industry. The Nordic countries have so far pledged EUR 195 million in procurements through Ukraine's defence industry. Extraordinary revenues from immobilised Russian assets could be one possible source for funding such initiatives. The Nordic countries welcome the agreement on the use of extraordinary revenues stemming from Russia’s immobilised assets to establish a macro-financial assistance loan to Ukraine and maintain that Russia’s assets should remain immobilised until Russia ceases its war of aggression and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused by war. The Nordic countries will continue the pressure on Russia and to limit its ability to wage its war of aggression against Ukraine, including through sanctions and international measures against the shadow fleet transporting Russian oil used to circumvent sanctions.
IV. The Nordic countries are determined to continue to support and enhance the defence capabilities of the Defence Forces of Ukraine in their fight for security and peace in Europe. The Nordic countries already made substantial contributions through bilateral and multilateral donations, including ammunition of various calibres, as well as efforts to strengthen European ammunition production capacity, such as ASAP, and national decisions to increase heavy ammunition production.
V. The Nordic countries support Ukraine's Victory Plan as presented by President Zelenskyy. We will work to contribute to its implementation. We will also work to strengthen Ukraine's position, ahead of a second Peace Summit towards a just and lasting peace based on international law, including the UN Charter, that respects Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
VI. We reiterate that Ukraine's future place is in NATO. We will continue to support Ukraine on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership. We support a greater role for NATO in the coordination of security assistance and training and welcome the establishment of NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine. We are convinced that Ukraine's future membership will be of significant added value to the European Union and contribute to peace, stability and prosperity in Europe. We welcome the opening of EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and have stepped up our joint efforts to support Ukraine's EU accession.

Alongside the United Nations General Assembly, key stakeholders from the global private and public sector gathered at UN Women's HeForShe Summit to reinforce commitments, share innovative solutions, and increase collaboration across sectors to achieve gender equality.
With a growing pushback against women's rights, institutions and individuals have an increasing role and responsibility to play in the pursuit of gender equality. As a key moment along the midpoint for Generation Equality, the world's leading initiative to boost investment and implementation of gender equality, the HeForShe Summit calls for everyone to play their part and respectfully disrupt the patriarchal status quo that holds us back from closing current gender gaps.
"It should particularly alarm us that the attitudes of young men seem to be going backwards, unfortunately," said Sima Bahous, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women. "A UN Women-supported survey showed that 58 per cent of young men aged 16-19 believe that men are better political leaders than women. How then will we achieve equality of women's leadership? Nearly 1 in 4 young men believe that there are acceptable instances to hit a partner or spouse. How then will we end the scourge of violence against women?"
Ms. Bahous praised the HeForShe Champions from across government, business, non-profit and academia for stepping forward and taking action as gender equality advocates and allies. "Our corporate champions have increased participation of women in their Boards to a minimum of 40 per cent. This is commendable", she said.
The Summit was marked with a spoken-word performance by poet, activist and artist, Rupi Kaur, who premiered her unpublished poem "to believe in equality", as well as a musical performance by pianist, composer and activist, Chloe Flower.
Throughout the event, leaders reiterated a resounding call to action to respectfully disrupt. Michael Roberts, CEO of HSBC US and Americas, and Maha AlQattan, Group Chief Sustainability Officer of DP World, urged business leaders around the world to introduce mechanisms for accountability in making gender equality a business priority.
Dr. Joy Buolamwini, Founder of the Algorithmic Justice League and author of Unmasking AI, and Dr. Sasha Luccioni, recently named one of MIT Technology Review's 2023 35 Innovators Under 35 in Artificial Intelligence, both reinforced the need to balance progress of Artificial Intelligence with the threat of perpetuating and deepening gender bias. Masculinity experts such as Richard Reeves, nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, as well as Michelle Terry, CEO of Movember, called for a new model of masculinity – one that inspires solutions and reframes the gender equality conversation away from a zero-sum game.
The recent UN Women and UN DESA report, "Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The Gender Snapshot 2023" shows that progress on gender equality is way off track and demonstrates the need of an additional USD 360 billion in investment per year to achieve gender equality and women's empowerment by 2030. The mission of the HeForShe Alliance is not only to inspire strategic investment, but ultimately to respectfully disrupt patriarchal structures that sustain and perpetuate gender bias and its manifestations throughout industries, governments, nonprofit organizations, universities, and everyday lives.

Funny, that, considering we're asking people to make permanent marks in their radios.

On August 9, 2010, the incoming first-year law students began their Legal Analysis course and took the Pledge of Professional Commitment, administered by Judge Edmondson of the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
If commitment and passion for local foods were a recipe, Nutrition Director Chad Elliott and the Decorah Community School District would have all the right ingredients.
Elliott and his staff are especially excited about their culinary plans for district diners to celebrate Iowa Local Food Day. But then every day in this school district is local food day and that is what makes them extraordinary.
And it doesn’t get any more local than out the back door 10 feet from the district’s central kitchen. Decorah High School’s gardens produce nearly enough kale for the district for the entire year thanks to the dedication of staff who lead student garden crews and the implementation of a greenhouse on a track that rolls over the raised kale beds extending the growing season.
Students of all ages are involved in a variety of steps in growing and preparing local food for the district. The garden produced 100 pounds of garlic that students helped peel, process, and put in four-ounce containers to freeze for use in recipes throughout the year. The same was done with fresh basil.
For Local Food Day 2022, Decorah is featuring local meat donated by a nearby beef operation, burgers from a local food hub, local wheat for breakfast pizza, local roasted potatoes, local pears and local caramel apples.
Elliott said a key ingredient for success with local foods is to start on a small scale. He first established a relationship with a local orchard and then tried to add a new local food to the menus each year.
“It’s a no brainer for us every day,” Elliott said. “The price is right and we adjust the workload and try to balance it. We have a plan for every day depending on what preparation is required for a particular menu. It is just one more way to do good for our community. We want to support our local farmers. We like doing local food day because it is a chance for us to announce and publicize our local food commitment.”
Pharmacy students are photographed with their mentor. More than 150 pharmacy students from the Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy took part in the 16th annual Professional Commitment Ceremony in the King Horn Sports Center. During the ceremony third-year pharmacy students receive their white coats from their pharmacist mentors – a symbol of this milestone in their journeys to become pharmacists.
Merrill held its fourth annual Service Fair on October 10th. During the fair, eighth grade students met with representatives from more than twenty local organizations to sign up for future volunteer commitments.
Each eighth grade student is required to perform 10 hours of community service in the course of their 8th grade year. There are four stages in the development of each student’s project. First, they research and write a Service Rationale that identifies and defines the community need for their project. Second, they create a detailed Service Plan that identifies the organization that they will be partnering with, the dates that they will be serving, the work they will be doing and contact information for the adult/s who will be verifying their service hours. The third step is Service Verification. Students have between October and May to perform their 10 hours of service, which must be verified by signatures from the adult who is supervising their service. The final step is a Service Reflection where the student identifies strengths and weaknesses in their project as well as what they learned and how the project could be improved.
Organizations ranging from the Animal Rescue League, Community Youth Concepts, Fountain West Health Center, Iowa Kidstrong and the Lupus Foundation have already confirmed their attendance for this year’s Fair. Last year Merrill eighth graders performed over 900 hours of service to their community.
