New York –

In the Security Council forum United Nations (UN), Saudi Arabia calls for the creation of a state Palestine independent to protect the rights of the Palestinian people. The Saudis insisted UN Security Council to take a firm stand against the occupation Israel in the Palestinian territory.

As reported by Al Arabiya, Thursday (25/1/2024), the call was made by Saudi Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Waleed el-Khereiji when speaking at the UN Security Council open debate forum discussing the “Situation in the Middle East” which was held on Wednesday (24/1) local time.

According to news agency reports Saudi Press Agency (SPA), El-Khereiji condemned the forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and rejected Israel’s self-defense statements as a reason to continue bombing the Gaza Strip, triggering mass displacement in the Palestinian enclave.

The UN humanitarian agency OCHA, on Tuesday (23/1) local time, reported that Israeli forces had issued a new evacuation order for one part of the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, which hosts around half a million residents and refugees.

The order came as the World Food Program (WFP) warned that Gazans were facing “catastrophic food insecurity”. Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres criticized Israel for its rejection of the two-state solution.

El-Khereiji, at the UN Security Council forum, warned about the worsening situation in the Gaza Strip, and urged the council to take concrete steps to stop Israel’s military aggression and indiscriminate bombing of unarmed civilians.

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

United Nations Security Council (DK PBB) passed the resolution initiated United States of America about the militia attack Houthi Of wealth in the Red Sea, Wednesday (10/1).

The resolution urges the Houthis to immediately stop all attacks in the Red Sea targeting commercial vessels, especially those linked to Israel. This Houthi attack took place as an effort by the Houthis to defend Palestine which is currently facing brutal Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.

“Attacks that impede global trade and undermine the rights and freedom of navigation as well as regional peace and security,” the resolution was quoted as saying AFP.

However, two permanent members of the UN Security Council, namely Russia and China, chose to abstain along with non-permanent members such as Mozambique and Algeria.

The four countries expressed concern that the Israel vs Hamas war would spread and trigger potential military attacks by Western countries against Houthi targets in Yemen, as quoted Al Jazeera.

The UN also has similar concerns. The spokesperson for the UN Secretary General admitted that he was worried that if there was a Western attack it could have a very bad impact on Yemen, which is currently still in decline due to the ongoing civil war.

The Houthis have recently been in the spotlight after attacking ships in the Red Sea since Zionist forces launched aggression against Palestine.

Before Israel’s aggression against Palestine, the Houthis often launched drones in the Red Sea.

After the aggression, they claimed to have helped Palestine by attacking ships affiliated with Israel and attacking the Zionist state.

Intensive attacks from the Houthis have forced shipping companies to change longer routes, causing costs to increase.

The Houthis’ actions worried Israel’s ally, the United States. They even formed a coalition to stand guard in the Red Sea to prevent attacks by this group.

A number of parties have warned of a wider escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after many parties are involved.

Israel launched aggression on October 7. During their operations they attacked residents and civilian objects such as hospitals and refugee camps.

As a result of the Israeli attack, more than 23,000 people in Palestine died.

UN Security Council Veto Rights: Why Only 5 Permanent Members Have This Power

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

United Nations Security Council (DK PBB) is back in the spotlight after postponing the voting or voting on the resolution regarding the ceasefire in Gaza.

The UNSC was supposed to vote on Monday (18/12). However, they postponed it, so far there is no clear information regarding the reason for the delay.

A number of sources said delays were expected as negotiations continued over the text of the draft resolution document.

Apart from that, for more than a month Israel launched an aggression against the UN Security Council and received criticism because it was considered incompetent in carrying out its duties.

Throughout the aggression, the UNSC only passed one resolution when the unit was led by China. Discussion of the resolution was not held, but when it was about to be issued, several members of this unit vetoed each other.

The veto right in the UN is a right that permanent members can use to cancel decisions, decrees or draft regulations.

A new resolution can be issued if it receives approval from nine non-permanent members and there is no veto from the permanent members of the UN Security Council.

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council are the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China.

Then, why does the UNSC only have the veto right?

The five countries have veto rights to give them strength and because they were the winners of World War II.

According to the UN charter, the five countries will continue to play a role in international maintenance and security. This big role is attached because they are considered to have initiated the organization.

“They were granted special status as Permanent Member States in the Security Council, along with special voting rights known as the ‘right to veto’,” said an official UN release.

According to an official UN release, as long as it has veto rights, the US has used the privilege 84 times since 1946.

China has used their veto power 18 times, and Russia has vetoed it 124 times.

Meanwhile, Britain used veto rights 29 times and France 16 times.

The drafters of the UN Charter agreed that if one of the permanent members of the UNSC voted, the resolution or decision would not be approved.

Apart from having veto rights, they can also abstain if they do not fully agree with a resolution.

Gargash criticizes the American “veto” against an Emirati ceasefire decision in Gaza

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com December 9, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Anwar Gargash, advisor to the UAE president, criticized on Saturday the United States’ use of its veto in the UN Security Council against the draft resolution submitted by the UAE for a ceasefire in Gaza, amid interaction.

Gargash said in a post on his official account on the “X” platform, previously Twitter: “Using the right of veto in the Security Council against the resolution presented by the UAE to cease fire in Gaza, wasted an opportunity to stop the bleeding of human casualties, and cast a negative shadow over the ability of the international community to protect… civilians during armed conflicts.

Anwar Gargash added: “The world today is in dire need of unifying its moral standards and aligning itself with humanity.”

Anwar Gargash’s post sparked interaction among users on the “X” platform, and the most prominent responses were as follows:

On Friday, the United States used its veto during a vote in the UN Security Council against a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, amid growing concern about the number of civilian deaths there.

Thirteen countries in the Security Council voted in favor of the draft resolution, the United States used its veto and the United Kingdom abstained from voting.

The draft resolution, submitted by the UAE, called for an “immediate ceasefire on humanitarian grounds,” as well as the “immediate and unconditional release of all hostages,” and “ensuring the access of humanitarian aid.”

At least 97 other countries joined this effort and co-sponsored the draft resolution drafted by the UAE.
