(SeaPRwire) - 伊朗当选为联合国宪章委员会副主席，该机构负责审查和强化《联合国宪章》的原则，此举招致以色列的批评以及对该组织遴选程序的重新审视。这一任命是在该委员会开幕式上作为其执行组成部分通过商定程序批准的，未经过正式投票。在联合国新闻发布会上，Digital询问伊朗的记录是否符合宪章的价值观，以及是否会谴责这一举措。"任何成员国当选某一机构的职位都是成员国自行投票的结果，" Stéphane Dujarric，联合国秘书长发言人表示。"因此，关于谁当选哪个机构的问题应由成员国决定。我们期望本组织的每个成员国都能遵守宪章，遵守《世界人权宣言》，因为它们自己加入了联合国这个'俱乐部'，而这些文件是我们的一些创始文件。"当被问及秘书长是否会谴责伊朗的当选时，发言人补充道："谴责任何成员国当选某一机构的职位并非他的职责。当成员国的行动在他看来违反了宪章或人权时，他会谴责，而且也确实这样做过。"宪章委员会隶属于联合国法律委员会，每年举行会议。其职责包括审查与宪章相关的问题，并提出加强宪章实施的方法，不过其工作通常需要成员国达成共识，且很少产生具有约束力的行动。人权之声（Human Rights Voices）主席兼托罗人权与大屠杀研究所（Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust）所长安妮·巴耶夫斯基（Anne Bayefsky）严厉批评了这一举措，并将其与对联合国表现的长期担忧联系起来。"联合国早在1974年就成立了一个委员会，据称旨在'增强联合国实现其宗旨的能力'。问题在于，从那以后，联合国在实现其主要宗旨——即维护国际和平与安全以及促进对基本人权的尊重——方面一直处于下滑轨迹，" 巴耶夫斯基表示。"鉴于伊朗是世界上主要的国家恐怖主义资助者，且致力于消灭犹太国家并血腥镇压本国人民，联合国的这一任命有助于澄清，在我们这个时代，联合国的宗旨实际上与和平、权利和人类尊严背道而驰。"丹尼·达农（Danny Danon）严厉批评了伊朗的任命。"这是一种道德上的荒谬，" 达农表示。"一个违反联合国基本原则的政权无法代表这些原则。"一个系统性违反联合国基本原则的国家不能担任负责强化这些原则的领导职位。联合国不能继续向违反其宪章基本原则的政权赋予合法性。"外交官们表示，该委员会近年来已成为成员国之间政治争端的论坛，包括针对以色列的批评。伊朗被选为领导角色之际，关于联合国如何在成员国代表性与对该组织创始原则的关注和遵守之间取得平衡的辩论仍在继续。联合国坚称，其各委员会的领导职位由成员国决定，而非秘书处，且反映的是内部外交程序，而非对任何政府政策或记录的认可。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

ARE report finds JSW Energy and Tata Power best positioned for firm-power era; NTPC’s execution critical as coal economics tightenSINGAPORE / NEW DELHI, INDIA, Feb 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - India’s power sector is entering a decisive new phase as electricity demand surges, peak loads hit record highs, and the country moves toward its 500GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030 post a record 52GW capacity added in FY26But the next chapter of the transition will not be defined by installed capacity alone. A new report by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE), Powering Net Zero: Pathways to Clean Energy for India’s Utility Companies, finds that the market is shifting toward firm, dispatchable and availability-linked power — creating clear divergence among India’s largest listed utilities. The analysis identifies: JSW Energy and Tata Power as best placed to monetise the transition, combining contracted renewable growth, storage depth and improving cashflow quality. Adani Green Energy remains the fastest capacity scaler with strong long-term visibility, though storage integration remains at an early stage. NTPC, India’s largest generator, retains unmatched scale and sovereign-backed financing, but its transition outcomes hinge on execution speed and managing coal’s declining role.Adani Power remains predominantly thermal, with limited exposure to the structural upside from renewables and storage. The report also highlights tightening coal economics. While new ultra-supercritical coal plants clear bids at INR5. 5–6 per kWh, effective delivered costs rise materially once utilisation, fuel volatility and compliance costs are factored in. By comparison, round-the-clock and storage-backed renewable projects are clearing between INR2.7–5.1 per kWh with availability guarantees embedded in contracts. “The debate is no longer coal versus renewables,” said Arun Kumar, Strategic Advisor for Power Markets & Technology Innovation at ARE and lead author of the report. “As procurement shifts toward round-the-clock supply, reliability and execution — not just megawatts — will determine competitive advantage.” “While this ARE study highlights significant momentum across the sector, it also identifies areas where sharper strategic clarity, improved contracting frameworks, and stronger delivery capabilities will be essential to meeting India’s long-term decarbonisation goals.” For deeper analysis and complete assessment, download the complete report HERE.

TOKYO, Feb 18, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machinery Systems, Ltd. (MHI-MS), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has concluded a joint research agreement with Tokyo's Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd. for a demonstration experiment of ramp merging support technology for autonomous vehicles.(1)The joint research, initiated in anticipation of expanded the adoption of autonomous vehicles, centers on conducting a demonstration experiment for ramp merging support for autonomous vehicles in the severe traffic conditions typical of Tokyo's Metropolitan Expressway, primarily high traffic volume and short merging sections. The project aims to accelerate the development of infrastructure support technologies for the practical implementation of autonomous driving.Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd. issued a call for participants in a joint research project. Following a review of the proposals, a contract was concluded with MHI-MS in recognition of its successful delivery of a Merging Support Information System for a section of the Shin-Tomei Expressway.(2) The demonstration experiment is scheduled to be conducted around September to November 2026, near the on-ramp of the Yoyogi entrance (Inbound) of Metropolitan Expressway Route 4 (Shinjuku Line). MHI-MS will coordinate and make preparations in cooperation with automobile manufacturers and other joint research participants.The site for the demonstration experiment is considered challenging from a sensing standpoint, owing to the short merging section, continuous curve, and height difference between the on-ramp and the main expressway. MHI-MS will fully leverage the technology developed for the Shin-Tomei Expressway and the knowledge gained to ensure safe and smooth merging of autonomous vehicles even in such demanding conditions. MHI-MS also believes that it can apply the sensing and communication technologies cultivated through the toll collection and ETC systems that it has delivered in Japan and overseas to autonomous driving support infrastructure.With various services that make extensive use of CASE technologies(3) being expanded to traffic engineering, MHI-MS will contribute to the establishment of safe and convenient next-generation mobility by supporting the infrastructure aspects that convey information from the roadway to the vehicle, beyond the sensors and other functions of the vehicle itself. Further, building on the projects for the Shin-Tomei Expressway and Metropolitan Expressway, MHI-MS will participate in demonstration experiments for merging support technologies, and accelerate implementation of its systems among a broad range of roadway operators.(1) For more information on the joint research agreement, see the following press release from Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd.
