Alexander MercourisHOST
The Secretariat has many agencies which pay people who work for them very good salaries and which are entirely, as far as I can see, run by the State Department in Washington.
Alexander MercourisHOST
I mean, they tend to take very, very... uh liberal american neoliberal american positions or pretty much everything the security council is different because there you have all the great powers meet and i happen to know that an awful lot of international diplomacy takes place there that is where that is actually where for example russia china and America really talk to each other.
Alexander MercourisHOST
Not when the Security Council is in plenary session, but they have meetings and they discuss things with each other all the time.
Alex ChristoforouHOST
Mama Alaska says, now that the Dems are in control, will they reinstate Lindsey Graham's sanctions? Dems are equally pro-Israel.
Alex ChristoforouHOST
Americans must take the streets against war.
Charles McNEALGUEST
It's an accord, they call it.
Charles McNEALGUEST
I don't know what the actual accord is, but it's been through the United Nations Security Council, specifically ran by Colorado Springs itself, which is MJ-12 headquarters.
Charles McNEALGUEST
For anybody that doesn't know that, where you got Cheyenne Mountain, you go down a mile and a half, that's MJ-12 headquarters.
Charles McNEALGUEST
And that's where you also have Strategic Space Command.
Anna FifieldHOST
The UN has not been able to stop conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan or Iran.
Anna FifieldHOST
But with seven weeks to go, the 193-member body, or rather its 15-member Security Council, still seems a long way from making a decision.
Anna FifieldHOST
The last secretaries-general have come from Europe, Asia and Africa.
Anna FifieldHOST
Now there's a general consensus that it's time for someone from Latin America or the Caribbean, and that it's time for a woman.
Colin KeatingGUEST
Well, I think this is a very important threshold decision because we know that whatever happens in the short term, there's going to have to be some pretty fundamental changes in the way the multilateral system operates if it's to survive.
Colin KeatingGUEST
And I mean, New Zealand has been saying this for quite a long time under a succession of foreign ministers.
Anna FifieldHOST
That's Colin Keating, who was New Zealand's ambassador to the UN and served as president of the Security Council during the 1990s when he sounded the alarm on the unfolding genocide in Rwanda.
Colin KeatingGUEST
The system really is out of date.
Jaser Abu MousaGUEST
Unfortunately, this does not book the people in the middle.
Jaser Abu MousaGUEST
And I have argued many times, and I have spoken in the United Nations Security Council, when I talked to some state leaders, and I've told them that any calculation, any programs, any proposals, that they do not put the people in the middle, they do not put the people in the concern, and the prime concern of these proposals will fail.
Jaser Abu MousaGUEST
And to move forward, you have to calculate.
Jaser Abu MousaGUEST
You have to consider the humanity of the people in the Gaza Strip.
Derek DavisonHOST
It's right on the border, very close to the border with Sudan.
Derek DavisonHOST
in response to the Sudanese government over the weekend having submitted or announcing that it had submitted formal letters of complaint to both the United Nations Security Council and the African Union alleging that the Ethiopian government has been assisting the Rapid Support Forces militant group in its conflict against the Sudanese military and Sudan's military government.
Derek DavisonHOST
The Ethiopian government denies this.
Derek DavisonHOST
I mean, it's pretty clear that there is some relationship there with the RSF, but it is denied in a public way any involvement in Sudan's conflict and reacted angrily, closed this consulate and kicked, I think, six Sudanese diplomatic staffers out of the country from that mission.
Derek DavisonHOST
And 35 years later, that referendum has never happened.
Derek DavisonHOST
So kudos to everybody involved in that job.
Derek DavisonHOST
But they did shut down on Sunday after competing Security Council resolutions that would have extended the mandate for the peacekeeping mission failed.
Derek DavisonHOST
The U.S. put forward a resolution that would have extended the mandate by a year, but also recognized Morocco's claim over the territory that got a veto from Russia, which submitted its own draft resolution that would have just extended the mandate.
Derek DavisonHOST
It's right on the border, very close to the border with Sudan.

PeterHOST
And before that, it was called The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
PeterHOST
So in the UN Council, where you sit by alphabetical order, I think at one point they actually had to sit at T as in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
PeterHOST
But yeah, they had all sorts of political dick-waving contests and things like that.
PeterHOST
But yeah, I think if we don't want an angry Greek bruja throwing bricks at us, I think we need to be a bit careful and at least know about it.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
There are three steps to us.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
The first is that there has to be a UN Security Council approved mandate.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
And the UN Security Council is the main body within the UN that agrees and decides on what peacekeeping missions the UN will send their troops on.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
The second is that then it has to be approved by government.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
And the third is that it has to be approved by the Dáil.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
What we are proposing to do is to remove the element that requires the UN Security Council mandate.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
And there's a very clear reason for that.
Helen McEnteeGUEST
And I fully understand why it was put in at the time.

Sienik did not provide the exact month the contract would expire, saying only that it would be in the middle of next year.

Sudanese Civil War The United Arab Emirates hired Colombian mercenaries to fight alongside the Sudanese rapid support forces, according to a confidential report submitted to the UN Security Council last week, obtained by The New York Times.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The report details how an Emirati security company with close ties to the government moved the Colombians into Sudan through territory controlled by Emirati proxies in Libya and Somalia.

Other Global Developments Belgium's parliament early today approved a law allowing police to enter the homes of suspected undocumented migrants who have ignored orders to leave the country.
Robert LymanGUEST
And this is key to the whole story.
Chris ParryGUEST
I think something else that's worth mentioning, Fergus, is that at this point, China is not a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
Chris ParryGUEST
And Russia has withdrawn from being a permanent member of the UN Security Council because China has not been allowed in.
Chris ParryGUEST
So that affects decisions that the United Nations.
Chris ParryGUEST
So something that we would see today, for example, if you're going to intervene today against a Russian-backed regime, Russia, of course, would veto it straight away.
