Episode Details

The new UN Security Council president is the representative from Switzerland. Switzerland is known as a nation of peace. How they maintain peace is by mainly maintaining neutrality and they would allow talks to happen among those who were in conflict, that they would try to step back away from the conflict and allow dialogues to happen. Switzerland was always quite successful with that. And during World War II, they managed to pull off some amazing things that allowed a safe haven for a number of people from different sides to maybe find differences so that peace could eventually be achieved. So we look forward to seeing some very interesting if not amazing things happen from the Security Council this month as they that is their ultimate goal is to strive for peace and to bring peace about in different areas. With that being said, the representative is also going to admit to some limitations. It isn't going to be an all-inspiring thing. It is going to be the nudge towards bringing peace by bringing people to a table so that they can discuss differences and come to some agreements that might end war. That was the ultimate goal of the United Nations was to form a union or League of Nations. So that dialogue could happen instead of shots fired. Instead of men rushing across battles with with with weapons, trying to harm each other. Those nations could sit down, where leadership can sit down and discuss differences and come up with solutions so that we all can live peacefully. We'd like to see more of that happen in our world, and there are a lot of situations where there are conflicts where there's extreme gang violence because humanitarian efforts haven't been successful in getting supplies and medication food, all those things needed to make people feel secure. So we have uprisings of gangs, especially when we look at areas like Haiti. Haiti will be brought up in the in today's discussions with the UN, and how things can be diffused so that people can live peacefully live well live with the abundance that is truly around us. So why don't we listen to what was said in the UN press room?
