Chapter 366: Security Council Meeting

The seats of 15 countries are arranged so tightly that you can touch the representatives of another country almost an arm's length. This made Ma Wei feel that the atmosphere here was even more tense as soon as he entered the venue.

Including representatives of other countries who have taken their seats at this time, such as Angola, Chile, the United States, France, Pakistan, etc. They all naturally looked at him as the youngest in the audience.

This makes someone always feel like they are being stared at by the interviewer. Although this doesn't have any effect on him, it's always a little uncomfortable to be stared at like this by a group of people......

Headsets for interpreters have also been prepared for Security Council meetings. The translation languages are no longer six, but are translated separately according to the 15 member states.

Under the gaze of representatives of other countries, Mavi walked step by step to the position of Russia. Then he nodded and greeted the delegates around him. Similarly, the representatives of other countries nodded their heads in return.

Five minutes later, all 39 representatives of the 15 members entered the conference hall to begin the Council meeting. In charge of this chairmanship is Security Council President Walker, who is the representative of the United States.

When it comes to the presidency of the Security Council, it is held by 15 members on a rotating basis. Each round is for a term of one month.

The main responsibilities include presiding over formal and informal meetings of the Council, holding consultations with members of the Council and other States Members of the United Nations wishing to refer matters to the Council, making statements to the media on behalf of the Council to convey the consensus reached by all members of the Council on an issue, and speaking on behalf of the Council at special meetings or seminars.

"Last week, Ethiopia proposed to the Security Council an arms embargo on Eritrea, as well as comprehensive sanctions. The Ethiopian-Eritrean border war, which broke out in May 1998, shows no signs of abating. In order to solve the problem of war between the two countries, I think we have to come up with some tough measures. ”

Security Council President Walker, who was the first to speak, said at the meeting.

Eritrea is located in the northeastern region of Africa, bordering Ethiopia. The Aerea Border War is considered one of the three stupidest wars in the modern world.

The cause of the war between the two sides was simply for the sake of fighting, the bush mountains, which did not have much effect, and the desolate Bard Plains. There are many ways to solve the problem, but we have to take the step of war that does not outweigh the losses.

Even more stupid is that it was a fight between two of the world's poorest countries, "the equipment of the Second World War, the tactics of the First World War, the field aid of the Napoleonic era". The outcome of the war has left neither side to gain any benefits, but it has made the world see a joke, and the already stretched economies of the two countries have been exacerbated.

At the meeting, Ma Wei listened to the President of the Security Council and talked about this farce. I feel that the Security Council, in fact, is similar to the neighborhood committee in many aspects. The former is nothing more than a few levels higher. But the basic nature is the same, to put it bluntly, it is to mediate disputes and resolve "neighborly" conflicts.

Because each time the Council has to deal with a lot of disputes. Therefore, Russia's proposal to "jointly encircle and suppress Somali pirates" was not put forward by the President of the Security Council until 45 minutes later.

The following article is proposed by Russia to the Security Council a few days ago, and many countries jointly encircle and suppress Somali pirates. Russia hopes that various countries will send fleets to stay in Somali waters for a long time. Escort for merchant ships entering and leaving the Suez Canal. And fight against the Somali pirates who are rampant. What do the delegates think of this proposal?"

Security Council President Walker presided over this statement at the meeting. Compared with the previous Ethiopia-Eritrea war, the arms embargo came, and it is obvious that Russia's proposal can also cheer up a little spirit. After all, Somali piracy is a thorny problem that has emerged in recent years.

Since the civil war in Somalia, the country has become very unpeaceful. The key is that your civil war is a civil war, and those warlords who divided one side actually started the idea of being pirates and robbing merchant ships. This turned the civil war into an international incident. Many countries have been unlucky.

"I think it's a very good proposal. In the past two years, Somali pirates have robbed many merchant ships at sea. Among them is our Spanish cargo ship Lorles. Therefore, it is imperative to send a combined fleet to fight Somali pirates. The representative of Spain, who was the first to say at the meeting.

As soon as he finished expressing his opinion, the representatives of the other countries around him also nodded their heads in agreement.

"We in Algeria also agree to this proposal, because Somali pirates are a major threat to the entry and exit of merchant ships from all over the world. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, there will be endless consequences. The representative of Algeria echoed the words.

For the fight against terrorist acts, terrorists, it is clear that all countries are in favor and will not oppose. Even if it is a sworn enemy in ordinary times, such as France and the United Kingdom, they will not deliberately come out to contradict it. After all, the relationship between countries is based on the overall situation, and cannot be tinged with personal feelings.

The meeting went quite smoothly, and under the presidency of the President of the Security Council, almost all 15 members of the Council agreed to this Russian proposal.

It's one thing for the countries to agree, but it's another thing to send a fleet to support them after they agree.

"Russian representative, what do you have over there that you want to publish?" Seeing the Russian side raise his hand, Security Council President Walker asked.

Ma Wei, who was sitting at the conference table, had expected what he had just done. So he opened his mouth lightly and asked in front of the representatives of various countries, "I have a very important matter that I want to mention now." That is, since all the members of the Council have agreed to the proposal to send a fleet to encircle the Somali pirates. Then, we in Russia hope that in the next two weeks, we will be able to discuss the specific details of the joint together. If you don't have that time, it's hard to talk about a lot of things......"

Ma Weike knows how efficient the United Nations is. That's called an ultra-low, and it's a serious overrun.

Now the resolution has been preliminarily adopted. However, the specific details still need to be discussed by various countries. It is estimated that it will not take two months, and it will not be discussed at all. Moreover, many of these countries will withdraw from the association for various reasons. This is an absolute obstacle to the fight against Somali piracy. It is better for him to be a country in Russia, acting alone.

After listening to Ma Wei's words, the other representatives of the Council members present showed contemplative expressions. To tell the truth, they are actually in the spirit of humanitarianism and show solidarity with Russia on the surface. When it comes to specific discussions, there will be difficulties in their own way.
