Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett entered the race for the next U.N. secretary-general with a message built around practical reform, Charter discipline, and small-state realism.

Her interactive dialogue showed a candidate who understands the U.N. machinery—but also the hard question facing the next secretary-general: can cautious realism become real leadership when the institution is blocked, underfunded, and under pressure?

ATN News has wrapped its special NPT 2026 Review Conference Series from the United Nations.

Across six reports, the series followed the treaty’s hardest questions: nuclear risk, stalled disarmament, Iran, Kazakhstan’s nuclear-free legacy, Oman’s diplomatic push, and the unresolved Middle East WMD-Free Zone.

The NPT remains central to global security, but its credibility can no longer be taken for granted. In a world of shrinking trust and rising nuclear danger, the question is no longer only whether the treaty survives, but whether it can still deliver security.

The Trump-Xi summit will be watched closely across the Middle East and North Africa.

From Hormuz to Bab el-Mandeb, from the Red Sea to the Suez Canal, the region is exposed to every shock in shipping, energy and great-power rivalry.

The third article in the ATN series looks at what the summit means for Egypt, the Gulf, Oman, Morocco and the wider MENA region.

For the region, the question is simple: who pays if the room in Beijing fails?

Today we are sharing the second article in our ATN News series on the Trump-Xi Summit 2026.

This piece looks beyond Washington and Beijing to Japan and South Korea, where the summit is being read through Taiwan, North Korea, energy security through the Strait of Hormuz, and the future of U.S. alliances in the Indo-Pacific.

For America’s allies in Asia, the question is not only what Trump and Xi agree on. It is whether U.S. commitments still carry the weight of reassurance.

Tomorrow, the series turns to the Middle East and North Africa.

Sharing the first piece in our new ATN series on President Trump’s planned visit to China and the wider stakes of the Trump-Xi summit.

The article looks at Taiwan, Iran, trade, technology, rare earths, energy security, and great-power politics.

It is the first of four pieces, with upcoming articles on Japan and South Korea, the Middle East and North Africa, and Europe.

The original English article has also been adapted for Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish-language audiences.

Grateful if you read and share with friends and colleagues following U.S.-China relations and global security.

NY-12’s Democratic primary is local, but its foreign policy stakes are global.

From the Upper West Side to Turtle Bay, Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, China, Iran, the U.N. and campaign money are not abstract issues here.

This race is not Camelot on the Hudson. It is a test of serious representation.

World Press Freedom Day is not only about whether journalists can publish. In much of the MENA region, the real question is whether they can still reach the public, verify facts, and remain heard in a digital space shaped by pressure, legal risk, blocked access, and fear.

My latest article looks at Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia, and Lebanon, and how each reflects a different version of the same struggle.

Esteemed friends and colleagues

Pleased to share that our latest ATN analysis on Oman’s NPT side event and the Middle East WMD-Free Zone has now been republished by our syndication partners “Atalayar” in Europe for Spanish and French speaking media markets.

This gives the Arab diplomatic message wider reach across Europe, the Mediterranean, Francophone Africa and Latin America, where nuclear restraint, regional security and NPT credibility matter deeply.

I would be grateful if you could share both versions with relevant colleagues and contacts.
