The Security Council has so far failed to agree on a resolution on war due to US-led Western states
NEW YORK (APP) – The United Nations General Assembly will meet in an emergency session on Thursday (tomorrow) to discuss the raging Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its president announced in a letter to member states.
The Security Council has so far failed to agree on a resolution concerning the war due to the opposition from the US-led Western states.
In the letter, the 193-member Assembly President, Dennis Francis, said he had received a letter of Oct 19 from Jordanian UN Ambassador Mahmoud Hmoud and Mauritanian UN Ambassador Sidi Mohamed Laghdaf in their respective capacities as chair of the Arab Group and chair of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation, requesting the resumption of the 10th Emergency Special Session as quickly as possible.
He said he also received a letter from the representatives of Nicaragua, Russia, Syria, as well as a letter from the representatives of Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, and Brunei, related to the same matter.
“I will convene the 39th plenary meeting of the 10th Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly on Thursday, Oct 26, 2023,” Francis concluded.
