Chapter 366: Security Council Meeting
The seats in 15 countries are arranged very compactly, and you can touch the representatives of another country at almost one arm. This makes Ma Wei feel that the atmosphere here is even more tense as soon as he enters the venue.
Including representatives of other countries who had already sat down at this time, such as Angola, Chile, the United States, France, Pakistan, etc., they naturally looked at him, the youngest in the audience.
This always makes someone feel like they are staring at by the interviewer. Although this has no effect on him, it is always a bit uncomfortable to be stared at by a group of people like this...
The Security Council also prepared headphones for translation. The translation language is no longer 6, but is translated separately according to 15 members.
Under the eyes of other countries' representatives, Mavi walked towards Russia step by step. Then he nodded and said hello to the surrounding representatives. Similarly, the representatives of other countries also nodded in response.
Five minutes later, 39 representatives from 15 members entered the conference hall to start the Security Council meeting. The person in charge of the chair was the President of the Security Council Walker, who was the representative of the United States.
Speaking of the President of the Security Council, it is held in turn by 15 members. Each round of term is one month.
The main responsibilities include presiding over formal and informal meetings of the Council, consulting with members of the Council and other United Nations member states who wish to submit relevant matters to the Council for discussion, speaking to the media on behalf of the Council to convey the consensus reached by all members of the Council on a certain issue, and speaking on behalf of the Council at special meetings or seminars.
"Last week, Ethiopia proposed an arms embargo on Eritrea and a comprehensive sanction to the Security Council. The Ethiopian border war broke out in May 1998 and showed no signs of easing. In order to resolve the war between the two countries, I think we must take some tough measures."
Council President Walker, the first to preside over the meeting, said at the meeting.
Eritrea is located in northeastern Africa and borders Ethiopia. The Ethiopian border war is considered one of the three most stupid wars in the modern world.
The cause of the war between the two sides was just for the sake of fighting, the bushes and mountains that did not have much effect, and the desolate Bad Plain. There were many solutions to the problem, and we had to take this step of the war that was not worth the loss.
What's even more stupid is that this is a "equipment of World War II, tactics of World War I, and field rescue in the Napoleon era" between the two poorest countries in the world. The result of the war did not benefit from either side, and even made the world a joke, which made the already stretched economy of both countries worse.
At the meeting, Ma Wei listened to the President of the Security Council and talked about the farce of this big riot. He felt that the Security Council was actually similar to the neighborhood committee. The former was nothing more than being more taller than several levels. But the basic nature was the same. To put it bluntly, it was mediated disputes and resolved "neighborhood" conflicts.
Since there are many disputes to be handled every time the Security Council has been dealt with. Therefore, Russia's proposal to "jointly encircle and suppress Somali pirates" was not until 45 minutes later that the President of the Security Council put it on the process.
"The following line was proposed by Russia to the Security Council a few days ago that multiple countries jointly encircle and suppress Somali pirates. Russia hopes that various countries can send fleets to Somali waters for a long time. It will escort the merchant ships entering and leaving the Suez Canal and crack down on those Somali pirates who are rampant in the crime. What do representatives of various countries think about this proposal?"
Security Council President Walker presided over the meeting. Compared with the E.E.E. war, the arms embargo was obviously a little bit energetic. After all, Somali pirates have been a difficult problem that has emerged in recent years.
Since the civil war broke out in Somalia, this country has become very uneasy. The key is that if you have a civil war, you will have to forget about the civil war. Those warlords who have separatist sides have actually started to be pirates and rob merchant ships. This will turn the civil war into an international incident, which makes many countries unlucky.
"I think this proposal is very good. In the past two years, Somali pirates have robbed many merchant ships at sea. Among them is our Spanish cargo ship Lores. Therefore, sending a joint fleet to fight Somali pirates is a must-do." The Spanish representative was the first to say at the meeting.
As soon as he finished his opinion, representatives from other countries around him nodded and expressed their agreement.
"We in Algeria also agree with this proposal. Somali pirates are a major threat to merchant ships from various countries entering and leaving the Suez Canal. If they are not eradicated as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles." The representative of Algeria also echoed.
Terrorists obviously agree with the fight against terrorist acts and will not oppose them. Even even if they are mortal enemies on weekdays, such as France and the United Kingdom, they will not deliberately go out to sing opposites. After all, the relationship between countries is the overall situation first and cannot be filled with a personal sense of glory.
The meeting went smoothly. Under the auspices of the President of the Security Council, almost 15 members of the audience agreed with Russia's proposal.
But now, the key is coming! It is one thing for countries to agree, but after agreeing, sending fleet support is another thing.
"Russian representative, what do you have to publish?" Seeing the Russian side raise his hand and signal, the President of the Security Council Walker asked and asked.
Mawei, who was sitting at the conference table, had already expected these things. So he spoke lightly and asked in front of representatives of various countries, "I have a very important thing, I want to mention it now. That is, since all the members agree with the proposal to send a fleet to encircle and suppress Somali pirates. Then, we Russia hope that we can discuss the specific joint details in the next two weeks. If this period is beyond this time, many things will be difficult to say..."
Mavie knew that the United Nations' service efficiency was so low and it was severely overspending.
Although the resolution has been initially passed, the specific details are still to be discussed (disputed). It is estimated that within two months, it will not be discussed at all. Moreover, there will be many countries who withdraw from the union for various reasons. This is definitely an obstacle to the fight against Somali pirates. It is better to act alone in Russia.
