The Security Council has mainly been focused on the resolution of the conflict between Iran and Iraq. During committee sessions today and yesterday, they began the construction of a working paper to attempt both ceasefire and humanitarian aid. As the US representative stated during Thursday’s session, “progress is what [we] hold so dear”. This progress that the US has been fighting for so fiercely is coming closer and closer, as the Security Council becomes potentially ready to pass its working paper. Zaire’s representative was very focused on the UN’s ability to send humanitarian aid to affected regions, while the larger powers were more interested in creating an effective ceasefire. This comes at an important moment in the diplomatic proceedings – during yesterday’s press conference, the Iraqi representative was asked about the potential for Iraq’s nuclear development. The representative chose not to comment on the matter, which raises some questions about their future plans for the conflict.
