small steps these after three months of being in a state of limbo the UN security council finally seems to have woken up to the Karuna virus reality the pandemic now seems to fit the Jio political scope of this body how exactly what has changed now the answer is simple China is no longer calling the shots the dominica n Republic is the new chair of the United Nation security council is a rotating presidency changes every month so the domination Republic took took charge charge last last week week and and within within within days days days there there has has been been some some progress progress nine elected the UNSE has written to the body's president they want a meeting on the court and court peace and security impacts of Govind nineteen horses singer the special on voice from the American Republic has given the north the meeting is apparently taking shape it may happen before this weekends even the UN security general secretary general will be finally briefing the council on the pandemic listen to this when you plan to brief the security council on Govind ninety I have just received an invitation from the president at the request of the number of member states to brief the council which I will do a believe the next week very well but beyond the optics of meetings and briefings what the world needs right now and is badly hoping for if I may add is the UNSC resolution a council resolution would be binding on all UN member states it would help mobilize resources on war footing so will there be a resolution we can't say for sure the UNSC chair wants the meeting to take place first and see how the events play out but there are two draft resolutions currently in circulation one among among the the permanent permanent members members the the second second second among among among the the the non non non permanent permanent permanent states states states the the security security council council to take up one of them the most compelling is the one prepared by stone this resolution highlights the growing concerns about the unprecedented impact of the Karuna virus outbreak this resolution calls for full transparency over the pandemic a clear reference to the charges that China is hiding vital information about the origins of the virus remember this very same proposal was rejected by Beijing last month can China still block it yes it can remember China is a permanent member it holds the bit of power we took and scott any resolution that's was China has back Russia Russia is expected to support China like I did last month the US yet to take a stand and more importantly stick to it remember Donald Trump started by calling it a Chinese virus then he had a phone call with President Xi Jinping of China and he praised China's efforts we don't know what is thoughts are on China this week will keep you posted back to the security council the two other permanent members of France and United Kingdom both nations badly hit by the Mohan virus but they haven't central China yet the UNSC may good opportunity to pin responsibility this is a story to watch out for this week
