Over a Third of UK HR Decision-Makers Report Pushback Against EDI Initiatives in Past Year

The charity warns this threatens inclusive hiring for people with criminal convictions, who face significant employment barriers. The findings coincide with a Ministry of Justice conference addressing employer confidence gaps in recruiting people with convictions, while employment remains the strongest protective factor against reoffending costing the UK £18bn-£23bn annually.

Iran Accuses US of Misrepresenting Nuclear Programme at NPT Review Conference

Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN accused the United States of using the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference to misrepresent Tehran’s nuclear programme and deflect attention from Washington’s own violations. Iran stated all enriched uranium remains under full IAEA supervision with no material diverted. The dispute escalated after Iran was selected as vice president of the conference, drawing criticism from US official Christopher Yeaw who called it an ‘affront’ to the treaty. Iran’s envoy warned that lasting Gulf stability requires an end to alleged US-Israel aggression against Iran.
