THE QUEEN ELIZABETH II WILL LIVE FOREVER

Since I was a child, I felt somewhat close to her, knowing that we celebrated her birthday on the same date. She did it twice a year, thanks to the fact that she maintained the tradition that King George II imposed in 1748 to celebrate in a big way in the “Trooping the Color” thanks to the favourable weather of June on the second Thursday of the month and that she changed to Saturday; but, it was evident that, on our birth date of April 21, several decades apart, she was celebrating privately and I was celebrating according to the circumstances.

On the other hand, being the English crown a reference that, throughout history, has been setting trends for the rules of Etiquette and Protocol for practically everyone since I was a teenager and thanks to my mentor, I began to admire it in various aspects, beyond of his involvement with royalty, whose head he had to assume with only 25 years of age in the midst of a post-war and a society that was entering the changing years of the ’60s.

She was a woman who changed paradigms showing that many roles can be assumed by a woman, such as when she opted for mechanics within her military training or could show herself as an axis of stability when her kingdom struggled to adjust to a modern world acting with intelligence and cunning, as he showed by changing his father’s circle of advisers in the royal court, for career diplomats and business executives to adapt a monarchy that needed to continue advancing.

Despite her promise to preserve everything built and inherited from her ancestors, she was forced to bid farewell to nobility from Kenya and Hong Kong to finally Barbados in 2021. Still, she maintained her firmness and monarchical dedication to the 15 countries and her leadership with the Commonwealth, leaving many gaps and doubts in the face of the many duties to which she gave her whole life and which will not be as easy to cover as she knew how to do.

As former Prime Minister John Major said on her 90th birthday: “She’s shrewd, she’s compassionate, she has a good deal of insight, and she has the typical and traditional virtues that you associate with the British …If you were designing someone to be a monarch here in Britain, I think you would design someone exactly like the Queen Elizabeth II.”

Notwithstanding the many difficult times, she had to live through during her reign, both in matters of state and family, she remained unscathed. She overcame many circumstances thanks to the unlimited support of her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. He was indisputable support for his personal life and his functions until the time he left her, precisely in the month of our birthday.

I got the impression that she let herself go to join him soon. I imagine it would not be easy to cope with the emptiness after living with someone from complimenting a stable relationship with a great complement.

In any case, for those of us who come to admire her in some aspect of her life, her functions and her legacy; we have engraved in our retina those images amid the bright colours that dressed her in such a unique way, her big and bright smile, that unmistakable sense of humour, those tender captures amid the animals that she loved and even the scenes in the films in which he lent himself to participate in unconventional ways, such as jumping from a parachute or having tea with Paddington, have left a mark on the lives of many that we will keep alive in our hearts.

As someone I consider to be my father, my uncle Roberto Stohmann A. wrote, with whom I share my particular sympathy for Queen Elizabeth II: “The Queen of Queens dies after serving 70 years as sovereign of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and head of the Commonwealth. It was the longest reign in modern history.

The Queen of Queens, she will live in history and the midst of our memories!

THE PASSING OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022

In Queen Elizabeth II’s own words, “Grief is the price we pay for love.”  Queen Elizabeth II will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.  Dickie Arbiter, the Queen’s press secretary for over 12 years, told Australian radio personality Ben Fordham “she was a perfect boss”.

A statement by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill stated, “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era. In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her.”

Via Twitter, French President Emmanuel Macron wrote, “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II embodied the British nation’s continuity and unity for over 70 years. I remember her as a friend of France, a kind-hearted queen who has left a lasting impression on her country and her century.”

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese from the prime minister’s office stated, “This is a morning of sadness for the world, for the Commonwealth and all Australians……She is the longest-reigning monarch in British history and, remarkably, the second longest-reigning monarch of a sovereign state.  Her life of faithful service will be remembered for centuries to come.”  Tributes poured in from world leaders and celebrities and those who knew her.  Celebrities such as Australian model Elle Macpherson and singer-songwriter Janet Jackson included posting their photos of her via social media.

Queen Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years. The longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth touched people’s lives worldwide.  She will be forever known as a strong female monarch in history who left her mark.  Alongside her distant relative, Elizabeth I, who reigned for 45 years, saw peace and prosperity. Queen Victoria was almost 64 years in her reign, marked by Britain’s great age of industrial expansion, and oversaw economic progress, social reforms, and educational advances.

 Known for her efforts to modernise the institution of monarchy, Elizabeth favoured simplicity in royal life and a keen interest in government and political affairs and was an animal lover.  Interestingly Alice Cary expressed in writing for Vogue UK, “The Queen Is Officially A Conscious Fashion Influencer”, choosing a cruelty-free and sustainable fashion” as well as recycling garments seen at various royal events.

 Most of all, Queen Elizabeth II was known for her excellent adherence to using etiquette and protocol. She becomes the original doyenne of decorum for the 20th century.  Today modern etiquette schools base their credentials on either having worked for the royal residences or trained from those who have done so.  Thousands of articles and books have been written about royal etiquette and protocols, from curtseying to using the correct silverware.  Protocols include when to wear a tiara to stand on the Buckingham palace balcony.

 There was never a time that the Queen stepped out of line or forgot her etiquette.  She was in control and used etiquette as though it was part of her life and identity.  Queen Elizabeth II used etiquette and protocols when interacting with citizens, stars and politicians, striving to connect meaningfully, benefiting everyone and making life a little easier, especially for her staff.

 A heartful thank you for the wonderful work rendered and condolences to her family.  It is a sad loss that a wonderful, kind, confident woman has left us all.

HUMANITARIAN DIPLOMACY: The Craft and Art

Humanitarian crises captivate the public’s attention. Images on television and in newspapers depict civilians fleeing violence or the devastating and indiscriminate impact of natural disasters, as well as the life-saving interventions of health professionals. An estimated 250,000 humanitarian workers are involved in these operations, many of which take place in dangerous locations such as Ukraine, Syria/Iraq, South Sudan, the Central African Republic [CAR], and Eastern Congo.

We need to look more closely at the role of humanitarian workers in negotiating access and other humanitarian issues with combatants and other actors in conflict zones. There is some truth to the assertion that negotiations pursuing humanitarian goals must necessarily differ from purely political deals resulting from traditional negotiation processes. Humanitarian principles must, once again, set the agenda for humanitarian actors’ negotiations. As a result, it is critical that those working in the international field recognize and respect their humanitarian colleagues.

Humanitarian Diplomacy Defined

Humanitarian diplomacy is effective in persuading decision-makers and opinion leaders to act in the best interests of vulnerable people and in accordance with fundamental humanitarian principles at all times. Humanitarian diplomacy seeks to mobilize public and governmental support and resources for humanitarian operations and programs, as well as to facilitate effective partnerships for meeting vulnerable people’s needs. Advocacy, negotiation, communication, formal agreements, and other measures are all part of humanitarian diplomacy. It is a crowded field with many players, including governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, and individuals.

Health diplomacy as an aspect in humanitarian diplomacy

Humanitarian action, including health assistance, is characterized by a variety of diplomacy levels. Global norms and international humanitarian law govern international humanitarian action, which includes principles outlined in United Nations General Assembly Resolutions, agreements reached in multilateral forums such as the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, and the Geneva Conventions, which govern humanitarian action in war-torn countries. The rapid growth in the number of humanitarian actors working for or with governments at all levels, often in complex situations, has increased the importance of humanitarian diplomacy.

During humanitarian operations, a variety of people engage in health diplomacy at various levels. Negotiations determine the amount of assistance, how that assistance is delivered, who is involved in delivering it, and how to reach crisis-affected populations. This diplomacy occurs in multilateral, bilateral, and local settings, and it involves both state and non-state actors. Diplomacy plays a role at the global level in determining resource allocation and scale, as well as technical standards for health interventions. Negotiations at the local level determine how assistance is coordinated, the extent to which technical standards and international humanitarian law are followed, military engagement, and the role of national governments and other national stakeholders.

Approaches of Diplomacy in Humanitarian Aid.

Diplomacy is a specialized function performed by a specific group of people. The duties and obligations of official diplomats, as well as their performance of their duties, are clearly defined by international law and custom. Behind humanitarian officials’ discomfort with the term diplomacy is the fact that diplomacy entails regular interactions with host political officials, whether state or non-state actors. Whereas diplomats’ portfolios are overwhelmingly political, humanitarian organizations strive to establish and maintain their non-political credentials.

Diplomats in a given crisis-affected country form a “community.” They collaborate on issues of mutual interest to their respective governments, which were previously political and military in nature but are now increasingly economic and, in some cases, humanitarian in nature. Humanitarian diplomacy, on the other hand, is not framed by such a well-established regime. To be sure, international humanitarian, human rights, and refugee law provide a framework for governments to agree on. In recent years, significant progress has been made in clarifying and compelling such obligations, particularly in the areas of human rights and internally displaced persons.

International Committee of the Red Cross concept of Humanitarian  Diplomacy

For example, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has developed its own definition of humanitarian diplomacy to reflect its specific mandate. Meanwhile, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has had a new division dedicated to promoting humanitarian diplomacy since 2010. The ICRC’s access diplomacy is based on a continuous process of negotiation to establish its presence in these areas, stay close to the affected people and communities, and seek the consent of the relevant parties to allow humanitarian operations to take place. Principled humanitarian action and diplomacy are concerned with preserving this neutral, impartial, and independent space: an embodiment of our shared humanity that endures even in the most difficult circumstances of tomorrow’s armed conflicts and natural disasters.

CASE STUDY

IRAQ

Humanitarian diplomacy helped non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Iraq overcome operational constraints caused by limited humanitarian space. The Coalition 108 occupation and rule in Iraq; the resulting insecurity in the country; the humanitarian impact of the war; and the role of the various humanitarian actors present before and after the war were the four contextual factors that determined international NGOs’ efforts at humanitarian diplomacy in Iraq after the second Gulf War. The post-war humanitarian situation in Iraq must be understood in light of Saddam Hussein’s government’s years of punishing economic sanctions and domestic repression.The effects of the war, as well as the subsequent destabilization of the country after the occupation was established, exacerbated the problem. Following the war, the number of actors involved in humanitarian assistance and reconstruction increased dramatically. Over 100 international NGOs and UN agencies had prepared to respond to what was expected to be a major humanitarian disaster. A small group of NGOs formed the NGO Coordination Committee in Iraq (NCCI) in April 2003 in response to growing concerns about preserving humanitarian space and ensuring the neutrality, impartiality, and operational independence of humanitarian activity within the framework of the occupation. The NCCI’s humanitarian diplomacy alternated between two levels: seeking concrete, case-by-case solutions to NGOs’ main operational constraints, and pursuing a more process-oriented engagement with various players for broader, more sustainable, and more principled goals.

SUDAN

There were large-scale interventions by the World Food Programme and the role of humanitarian diplomacy in the pursuit of operational humanitarian objectives in Sudan, which had an impact on operational issues. First, humanitarian diplomacy operates in an environment characterized by multiple or ambiguous political objectives. In Sudan, the government’s other priorities determined the priority given to humanitarian work, and the exigencies of the civil war took precedence over humanitarian concerns. Given the operational constraints, negotiating for humanitarian space is a never-ending struggle. It will be argued here that humanitarian diplomacy can be viewed as a type of policy implementation activity carried out in an adverse political and physical environment.

WFP and its sister UN aid agencies conduct humanitarian diplomacy in the absence of the ultimate sanction of force. Similarly, the promise of free assistance does not guarantee an unconditional welcome. Negotiations are necessary at all stages of a humanitarian operation, but not all of them are diplomatic in nature.

Conclusion

 To ensure that humanitarian practitioners’ voices are heard in global humanitarian decision-making, these practitioners must learn how to engage in and influence diplomatic processes at both the global and local levels. Training in negotiation and advocacy is required to influence multilateral organizations’ decision-making among donor and recipient states, as well as among local communities. Humanitarian diplomacy is a new concept. Its definition differs from that of traditional diplomacy, which seeks to manage states’ international relations through negotiation. Instead, humanitarian diplomacy focuses on “maximizing support for operations and programs, and building the partnerships required to achieve humanitarian objectives.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DIPLOMACY IN AFRICA

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is important not only for developed countries but also for developing countries, including Africa. While the African continent has seen several innovative applications of Artificial Intelligence, more can be done to ensure access to information and knowledge via AI. While AI development has a long history of excitement followed by long disappointment, we are currently in the midst of an unprecedented period of technological innovation across multiple sectors, which is driving the growth of AI. The increase in digitised data in the global economy is one of the two critical factors driving this growth. Africa is already playing a key role in developing AI systems, which necessitate the use and availability of natural resources, labour, and skills across the continent.

Artificial Intelligence advancements in technology in Africa’s Digital diplomacy era

African countries have spent the last decade negotiating better export trading conditions using traditional diplomatic tools. However, the new global trading system is changing the very nature of diplomacy. Traditional approaches based on the concept of sovereign equity are giving way to more sophisticated approaches influenced by countries’ scientific and technological competence levels. This manifests itself in two ways. First, African countries’ ability to wield greater influence in the global arena will be determined by their economic strength, which is linked to their ability to use technological innovation for global competitiveness effectively. South Africa is the continent’s leader in AI adoption, thanks to a robust ecosystem that includes numerous technology hubs, research groups, and forums such as the AI Summit, which is sponsored by multinational corporations such as Intel, Salesforce, Amazon, and IBM, and Singularity University’s South Africa Summit. South Africa has over a hundred companies integrating AI solutions into their operations or developing new solutions using AI.

At least three major areas of technological innovation are reshaping international relations. First, greater international technical cooperation will be required to meet Africa’s human needs, such as adequate nutrition and health care. Similarly, Africa will need to strengthen its capacity for innovation to participate more effectively in the global economy. Although better raw material trading arrangements can help in the short term, long-term strategic technology alliances will offer the continent a viable way out of the raw materials commodity trap. Finally, addressing ecological challenges, such as the projected effects of climate change, will necessitate long-term technological collaboration with other countries. The recent agreement between the United States and Brazil to share ethanol technology to reduce reliance on oil demonstrates how urgent global challenges are redefining diplomatic relations.

AI in Security and Defence

Throughout history, warfare has changed due to the introduction and innovative use of new military technology. In the military and defence realms, AI is frequently discussed regarding lethal autonomous weapons, or “killer robots.” However, AI can enable and support a wide range of military functions, from logistics to autonomous weapons, cyber warfare, and disinformation. It consists of offensive and defensive systems and frontline and support systems. If we are interested in using AI as a tool for diplomacy, we must first define what diplomats do. One method is to examine the functions of diplomacy. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations defines diplomacy as gathering information, communication, representation, negotiation, and promotion of friendly relations. Artificial intelligence in diplomacy will play several roles in state recognition, making it a powerful tool for promoting relations between newly formed and established states. Within the African continent, Eritrea and South Sudan are examples of once-aspiring states that have achieved international recognition and recognition after successfully seceding from their host states. The two countries are opposed: the former gained statehood and recognition when digital diplomacy was non-existent, while the latter did so when it was well-established. Leading officials in South Sudan are known to have widely mobilised diplomatic support from regional states and the international community through digital technologies to gain statehood and recognition. As a result of digital technologies, social media has earned a central role in the projection, dissemination, and replication of information in the diplomatic arena. Diplomats worldwide used social media following South Sudan’s referendum to spread their speeches, announce public appearances, and share messages of congratulations for South Sudan’s referendum and independence.

The impact of AI in diplomacy, particularly in Africa, will result in a new or newly confirmed status in the relations between the states involved, joint or unilateral concerted action, the failure of negotiations, or their transfer to another temporal, geographical, or institutional framework. Failure may result in the use of military or non-military means of coercion. As defined in Chapter VI of the UN Charter, diplomatic negotiations aim to resolve conflicts without resorting to coercive measures. African governments should prioritise adopting AI solutions that help achieve national development goals and contribute to prosperous and inclusive societies. Policy responses to AI are emerging across the African continent, with Egypt, Mauritius, and Rwanda being the first to publish national AI strategies.

Conclusion

Local African actors are becoming more active in AI innovation, capacity building, and knowledge creation. This is brought on by increased computational power and an increase in funding for AI as part of a more significant increase in funding for start-ups. Despite this growth, African businesses are finding it difficult to develop suitable and alluring use cases that investors will fund with a reasonable degree of certainty that they will make a profit. However, foreign technology and AI companies continue to dominate the African market, which may not always support the achievement of national development priorities (such as those outlined in the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals). Worse, they amplify exclusion and oppression of specific groups, particularly women. African policymakers must prioritise the development of local AI capabilities and capacities that can be used to propel inclusive economic growth and social transformation. This prioritisation necessitates AI policies that build on national digital agendas and emphasise equitable access to digital, data, and computing infrastructure.

MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD

Globalization has increased competitiveness in all areas, contributing to a significant increase in efficiency. When applied to the economy, it is possible to reach more products, markets never imagined, and potential clients who were previously unreachable. This global perspective on the world enables proper management, particularly of companies and business processes, allowing for more precise progress.

Other factors to consider in the face of these changes are modernization and professionalization, which must be accomplished in a highly competitive environment. In reality, amateurs or those who do not use modern techniques have no place. With the entire world at its disposal in this scenario, businesses can choose where to locate their headquarters and premises. Multinational corporations can now dramatically expand their manufacturing and operations from one country to another. This advantageous advantage has strengthened them ahead of the negotiations, allowing them to restructure their economy.

In the face of globalization, multinational corporations direct their operations from a central headquarters, establishing new subsidiaries abroad but not decentralizing their administration. Recognized multinational corporations have factories in various parts of the world using this model. Globalization has brought many benefits to cities in a country’s interior with strong intentions of growth and commercial development abroad. This is especially true for cities whose geographical borders obstruct their genuine product and ability to make themselves visible through excellent productions. Such is the case with General Deheza, a business city par excellence with hundreds of industries and companies, primarily in the oil, milling, agro-industrial, and metal-mechanic sectors, which have been able to fully develop thanks to globalization.

Globalization, since its arrival, has increased competitiveness in all existing areas while also significantly increasing efficiency. When applied to the economy, it allows for the reach of previously unattainable products, markets, and potential customers. This global perspective allows us to manage companies and business processes more effectively, allowing us to advance with greater precision. Other factors to consider in the face of these changes are modernization and professionalization, both of which are carried out in a highly competitive environment.

Recognized multinational corporations have factories in various parts of the world using this model.

Such is the case with General Deheza, a business city par excellence with hundreds of industries and companies, primarily from the oil, milling, agro-industrial, and metalworking sectors, which have been able to thrive thanks to globalization.

An industrial settlement, on the other hand, frequently officiates a direct connection with the outside world, bringing with it the same outstanding visits to which each protocol knowledge can be applied. Comparative cultures, illustrious visitors’ ceremonies, business, and everything else that comes with being a good host. It is once again emphasized that the protocol is a strategic tool for specifying a perfect communication thread and the goals that every industry and company pursue. A large window that allows access to the outside world. Globalization brings us face to face with this reality, requiring the commercial facet of a city, province, or entire country to demonstrate its virtues and competencies for excellent institutional progress.
