UN Security Council Weighs Two Draft Resolutions in Rising Middle East Crisis

The UN Security Council prepared votes on two draft resolutions addressing the Middle East crisis triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran: Bahrain-led text on behalf of the GCC and Jordan condemns Iran and calls for de-escalation, including guarantees for navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, while a shorter Russian draft urges restraint and negotiations without naming states. Bahrain’s draft drew broad co-sponsorship; after consultations it proceeded in blue. Post-script: on 11 March, Bahrain‑led resolution was adopted 13 in favour with 2 abstentions (China and Russia) and wide support (135 co-sponsors); Russia’s draft failed to reach the nine votes needed for adoption (4 in favour, 2 against, 9 abstentions).

Trump's Board of Peace Fails to Win Global Buy-In, UN Remains Central

Trump's Board of Peace Fails to Win Global Buy-In, UN Remains Central

Trump's proposed Board of Peace, initially framed as Gaza-focused, has not gained traction abroad as major powers and several allies declined to join a broader, potentially global mandate; the UN Security Council remains the primary body for peace and security, per Secretary-General Guterres. Rubio says the board's focus is Gaza for now, but critics warn it could become a Trump-led 'fan club' rather than a real replacement for the UN. About 26 of roughly 60 invited nations have joined, while the UK, France, Spain, Slovenia and others declined; India did not attend Davos; the plan's charter also gives Trump leadership and veto power, provoking concerns about undermining the post-World War II international order.

UN Chief Warns Rule of Law Is Under Threat as Global Order Erodes

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned at a Security Council debate that the global rule of law is being eroded by what he called the “law of the jungle,” urging states to honor the UN Charter, pursue peaceful dispute resolution, invest in development to address root causes, and strengthen independent courts to ensure accountability and sustainable peace.

At an emergency UN Security Council meeting, the United States condemned Russia’s 'dangerous and inexplicable escalation' in the Ukraine war after Moscow launched the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile near Poland, as Kyiv pressed for peace talks amid heavy Russian strikes on energy infrastructure; Moscow blamed Kyiv for the impasse, European leaders condemned the attack, and Washington pushed sanctions while pursuing a US‑led peace framework.
