Another desperate measure to get the UN to act
Egypt and Mauritania have invoked UN General Assembly Resolution 377, also known as the “Uniting for Peace” resolution.
Adopted on 3 November 1950, the “Uniting for Peace” resolution is meant to allow the 193-member UNGA to act where the Security Council (UNSC)” has failed to exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security”.
It was last used in March 2022, when the UNGA voted to demand that Russia stop its offensive in Ukraine and immediately withdraw all troops.
The resolution does allow the UNGA to recommend the use of force but this aspect of the resolution has only been used once, in 1951, calling on states to provide assistance to “the United Nations action in Korea”.
By contrast, the UNSC has the power to impose sanctions or authorise an international force.
Of course Russia is still busy destroying Ukraine, so I doubt this will lead to anything either.
Today is International Human Rights day, meaningless :/
The World Health Organization has adopted a resolution urging immediate humanitarian aid for Gaza in a move that has been heralded as a “victory for humanity” by Ahmed Al Mandhari, the WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean.
The rare vote, held on Sunday, was only the seventh time in the WHO’s 75-year history that the organisation’s executive board has been convened for a special meeting.
Will this lead to anything? Problem is aid can't get in as Israel controls the entry points and only lets very little aid through. It's badly needed
Also not in Western media
