Iran informs UN about its right to self-defense The Islamic Republic of Iran has informed the United Nations that it has carried out a series of military strikes on Israeli military in line with its right to self-defense. A letter dated 13 April 2024, issued by the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran signed by Amir Saeid Iravani, Ambassador Permanent said “This action was in the exercise of Iran's inherent right to self-defense as outlined in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and in response to the Israeli recurring military aggressions, particularly its armed attack on 1st April 2024 against Iranian diplomatic premises, in the defiance of Article 2 (4) of the Charter of the United Nations. The letter was copied to Mr. Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General United Nations and Ms. Vanessa Frazier President of the Security Council United Nations, New York “Upon instructions from my Government and pursuant to our letter dated 1 April 2024 concerning the Israeli regime's armed attacks against the diplomatic premises of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Republic, which led to the martyrdom of seven Iranian senior military advisories (A/78/838-S/2024/281). "Regrettably, the United Nations Security Council has failed in its duty to maintain international peace and security, allowing the Israeli regime to transgress red lines and violate the fundamental principles of international law. Such violations have exacerbated tensions in the region and threatened regional and international peace and security”. The statement added that “As a responsible Member of the United Nations, the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, and international law, and reiterates its consistent position that it does not seek escalation or conflict in the region”. While warning about any further military provocations by the Israeli regime, the “Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its unwavering determination to defend its people, national security and interests, sovereignty, and territorial integrity against any threat or acts of aggression and to respond to any such threat or aggressions vigorously and in accordance with international law.” “The Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to exercise its inherent right of self- defense when required. Should the Israeli regime commit any military aggression again, Iran's response will assuredly and decisively be stronger, and more resolute,” the statement said.

Title: Remarkable Achievements in Higher Education Recognized by International Association Ghana's higher education landscape has witnessed a series of commendable achievements, with several institutions being recognized for their commitment to excellence in education and training. The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) recently bestowed prestigious institutional accreditations and honors upon various educational establishments worldwide. These recognitions serve as a testament to the institutions' dedication to delivering high-quality education and their adherence to global standards. Islamic Azad University Science and Research Branch (IAU-SRB) was among the distinguished institutions to receive accreditation from QAHE. This recognition highlights IAU-SRB's commitment to providing quality education in various disciplines. The institutional and Programmatic accreditation serves as a mark of distinction for the university, solidifying its position as a leading educational institution in Middle East. In another significant development, the Accreditation Council for Education, Indonesia, and QAHE have established a reciprocal recognition partnership. This collaboration aims to promote mutual acknowledgment of the accreditation processes and standards between QAHE and Indonesian educational institutions. It signifies the commitment of both countries to ensure educational excellence and enhance opportunities for academic collaboration and student exchanges. Furthermore, the Council of Higher Education in Idlib, Syria, has also been recognized by QAHE for its dedication to promoting quality education. This recognition reinforces the council's efforts in providing valuable educational opportunities and maintaining high standards despite the challenging circumstances in the region. Closer to home, the National Institute of Plantation Management has been accredited by QAHE for its excellence in education and training. This recognition underscores the institute's commitment to equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge in the field of plantation management. The educational accreditation serves as a testament to the institute's quality programs and its contribution to the growth of the plantation sector in Sri Asia. Moreover, Toutele Agriculture College South Africa (TACSA) has received QAHE accreditation, further enhancing its reputation as a leading agricultural institution. TACSA's dedication to providing quality agricultural education aligns with QAHE's standards, solidifying its position as an institution of excellence in South Africa and beyond. In a remarkable achievement, Hormuud University, Somalia has been honored with the Excellence in Education Award 2024 by QAHE. This prestigious recognition acknowledges Hormuud University's outstanding educational practices and commitment to delivering a high-standard education experience to its students and stakeholders. The award serves as a testament to the university's unwavering dedication to quality education and its adherence to international standards. These recent accreditations and honors received by global institutions from QAHE reaffirm the organization's commitment to fostering excellence in higher education. The recognition bestowed upon these institutions not only elevates their reputation but also enhances the overall quality of education in Ghana. As the nation continues to prioritize education as a catalyst for development, these achievements serve as a source of inspiration for other institutions to strive for excellence in their educational endeavors. Global educational landscape continues to evolve, with institutions like IAU-SRB, the Council of Higher Education in Idlib, the National Institute of Plantation Management, TACSA, and Hormuud University leading the way in delivering quality education and contributing to the nation's development.
