Libya’s ceasefire: the opening move of a complex chess game.

BY: Begona Arechalde On October 23, the UN body in charge of supervising the peaceful resolution of the Libya’s Civil War, UNSMIL, announced in Geneva that the warring factions have reached a ceasefire agreement. The document, that is just three pages long, summarises the next steps in the de-escalation of the conflict. The UN must monitor the correct implementation of the clauses to prevent internal disputes and third-party interests from sabotaging the progress made. Friday's agreement gives a truce to the poverty-stricken North African country, at war since the ouster of Muammar Qaddafi in a coup orchestrated by NATO and…

Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif, Security Council, UN

Iran FM Zarif’s addressed UNSC ( Full Text ):

Mr. President, I wish to begin my statement with words Prime Minister Mosaddegh used in this Council 59 years ago. “The Security Council was established so that large and small nations alike might sit around the same table and cooperate for the maintenance of peace in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations. The Council cannot perform its great task … unless big powers respect the principles which it was created to embody.” Two years later, he was overthrown in a CIA coup. Mr. President, If this Council falters again, it will be a generational setback for…

Losers will show up on October 18 through a global match in Security Council

PEJOURNAL - The United States seeks to maintain Iran's arms embargo under the pretext of controlling Iran, and to invalidate Security Council Resolution 2231 as a binding document supporting JCPOA. Iran has also made the most progress in the field of design and production of modern and conventional weapons during the years of sanctions. Washington's real goal is to neutralize Resolution 2231 and to continue unilateralism to humiliate the international community, especially Russia, China and Europe. Europe's passive action in presenting the proposal of the recent anti-Iranian resolution at the Board of Governors meeting showed that Europe is still ready…

Russian representative to the Security Council:

In Pompeo's remarks, at least I did not hear a word of cooperation or dialogue. We are following with concern the developments of the policy of maximum suffocation against Iran. The US goal is to change Iran regime or create a situation where Iran is literally unable to breathe. It's like putting your knee on someone's neck. This crisis has been caused by the United States.

full implementation of JCPOA

Iran's envoy to the United Nations announced the possibility of requesting members of the Security Council for the full implementation of JCPOA "The United States yesterday submitted its report to the Security Council on the extension of arms embargoes on Iran and called for the unity of the Security Council. The State Department's statement did not comment on the Security Council's response. Perhaps the reason for this was the unanimous request of them (members of the Security Council) for the full implementation of the JCPOA and Security Council Resolution 2231. "

U.S. Resolution for indefinite weapon sanctions on Iran

The United States has shared a draft resolution with members of the United Nations Security Council that would extend a weapon sanctions on Iran indefinitely, according to diplomats.

Political Economy Journal: Russian FM Spokeswoman’s remarks about the UN Secretary-General’s report on the implementation of Resolution 2231

A few days ago, some news agencies, especially the Western Hemisphere, and especially the United States, published a number of points in the UN Secretary-General's six-month report on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231. I would like to remind you that this is exactly the resolution that passed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2015. Interestingly, the leak took place before the UN member states became acquainted with the text of the report. The organizers of the news campaign were apparently in a hurry and wanted no one to be tempted to read the report themselves and…
