Совет Безопасности ООН обсудит пандемию

Девять стран Совета Безопасности ООН обратились с просьбой о проведении онлайн-встречи для обсуждения влияния пандемии коронавируса на все вопросы повестки дня СБ ООН, говорится в сообщении российского информационного агентства ТАСС со ссылкой на дипломатические источники.

"Девять непостоянных членов Совета Безопасности (Бельгия, Доминиканская Республика, Вьетнам, Германия, Индонезия, Нигер, Сент-Винсент и Гренадины, Тунис и Эстония) обратились с просьбой о проведении такой встречи", - сказал дипломат. "Дата встречи пока не определена. Ожидается, что она пройдет в закрытом формате, и в ней примет участие генеральный секретарь ООН", - отметил дипломат.

Такая встреча откладывалась уже долгое время, поскольку вопрос о пандемии не входит в повестку дня Совета Безопасности. Однако сейчас страны считают целесообразным обсудить влияние пандемии на вопросы, контролируемые Советом Безопасности. В частности, это предложения Генерального секретаря ООН об ослаблении санкций против некоторых стран, прекращении огня, а также гуманитарной помощи и воздействии пандемии на миссии по поддержанию мира.

US and Ukraine sign deal giving US access to country’s valuable mineral wealth

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal after a two-month delay, in what President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. Ukraine said it secured key interests after protracted negotiations, including full sovereignty over its own rare earths, which are vital for new technologies and largely untapped. Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
