Members of UN Security Council mulling resolution that calls on U.S. to rescind decision on Jerusale

[shockedcanadian]

Seems the UN wants to dictate to other sovereign nations, once again, how they should conduct their affairs. This isn't the role of the UN, it's become a flop house for dictators and political hanger ons. Since when should they concern themselves with how America views another nation or their interest in a Paris Accord, or anything else not related to war and strife?

Each country can recognize another as they see fit.

Members of UN Security Council mulling resolution that calls on U.S. to rescind decision on Jerusalem

The United Nations Security Council is considering a draft resolution that would insist any decisions on the status of Jerusalem have no legal effect and must be rescinded after U.S. President Donald Trump recognized the city as Israel's capital.

The one-page Egyptian-drafted text, which was circulated to the 15-member council on Saturday and seen by Reuters, does not specifically mention the United States or Trump. Diplomats say it has broad support but will likely be vetoed by Washington.

The council could vote early next week, diplomats said. A resolution needs nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, France, Britain, Russia or China to pass.


Trump abruptly reversed decades of U.S. policy this month when he recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, generating outrage from Palestinians. Trump also plans to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.

After the decision, Arab foreign ministers agreed to seek a U.N. Security Council resolution. While the draft is unlikely to be adopted, it would further isolate Trump over the Jerusalem issue.


The U.S. mission to the United Nations declined to comment on the draft. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has praised Trump's decision as "the just and right thing to do."

The draft U.N. resolution "affirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered, the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council."

One can ignore the U.N. without consequence. A more impotent organization does not exist.

We need to kick their asses out of New York.
Send the UN to France and make them pay for their anti-American organization.

I wouldn't burden France with it. Yemen or Somalia.

I'd like to watch the 'fine dining' restaurants in Somalia serve fried cat heads to the UN 'diplomats' followed by a nice warm glass of fresh goat sperm.
