He also made a statement that this will be an occasion for our leaders to have political discussions on the necessity to acclimatize the existing international system personified by the United Nations and the Security Council in order to efficiently face long-established threats to safety such as disagreements and new intimidation such as intentional crimes and pandemics.
Abarry also pointed out that Niger’s President Mahamadou Issoufou will chair the summit, with participation by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and African Union chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat.
When asked about the presence of US President Donald Trump, who often is against multilateralism and cooperation with international organizations, the ambassador informed that they expect the participation of all leaders of the state, and they will all be given an invitation from the president of Niger.
Formation of UN Security Council
UN Security Council was formed in the year 1945, after the World War-Two, which was fought between the period 1939 and 1945, after the failure of the League of Nations in upholding Global Peace. The Security Council has a prime task for the preservation of global peace and security. The Council has Members from different parts of the globe.
The UN Security Council has a total of 15 members including five permanent members. They are the key leaders and are responsible for maintaining international peace and security across the world. They also have the power to organize and maintain peacekeeping operations to protect humanity.
Under the agreement of the United Nations, all Member States are constrained to comply with Council conclusions.
The Security Council takes the lead in finding out the existence of a danger to the peace or act of violence. It calls upon the fighting parties to reconcile by peaceful means, negotiation, mediation, and arbitration and proposes methods of adjustment or stipulations of settlement.
In some cases, the Security Council can take action by resorting to sanctions or even order the use of force to sustain or reinstate international peace and security.
