☆ US Veto at UN to Shield Israel Could Weaken Its Ukraine Rallying Cry

In 2017 and 2018, the United States - under then-President Donald Trump - cast two vetoes to shield its ally Israel, complicating a U.S. campaign to reform the U.N. Human Rights Council. "The wider world will see an equivalence between this veto by the U.S. and Russia's behavior over Ukraine. Israel has since pounded Gaza from the air and imposed a complete siege on the enclave. "We cannot choose to call on the U.N. Charter's principles to protect Ukraine and ignore it for Palestine," the diplomat said. "You have been preaching and lecturing us for decades, especially Western countries, about human rights and international law," he said.

☆ U.N. shelves bid by Afghan Taliban, Myanmar junta for representation
  + stars: | 2022-12-16 | by ( Michelle Nichols | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
UNITED NATIONS, Dec 16 (Reuters) - The United Nations General Assembly on Friday approved postponing - for the second time - a decision on whether the Afghan Taliban administration and the Myanmar junta can send a United Nations ambassador to New York. The 193-member General Assembly approved without a vote the decision by the U.N. credentials committee, which also deferred a decision on rival claims to Libya's U.N. seat. But the credentials committee said it could "revert to consideration of these credentials at a future time in the seventy-seventh session" of the General Assembly, which ends in September next year. Competing claims were again made for the seats of Myanmar and Afghanistan with the Taliban administration and Myanmar's junta pitted against envoys of the governments they ousted last year. U.N. acceptance of the Taliban administration or Myanmar's junta would be a step toward the international recognition sought by both.

REUTERS/Carlo AllegriUNITED NATIONS, Dec 14 (Reuters) - A decision on whether the Afghan Taliban administration and the Myanmar junta can send a United Nations ambassador to New York has been postponed for a second time, but could be reconsidered in the next nine months, according to a U.N. credentials committee report. The nine-member U.N. credentials committee includes Russia, China and the United States. Competing claims were again made for the seats of Myanmar and Afghanistan with the Taliban administration and Myanmar's junta pitted against envoys of the governments they ousted last year.
