Russia demands UN probe Nord Stream blasts

The State Duma has voted in favor of calling for an urgent international investigation into the explosions © Getty Images/lucagavagna Lawmakers in the Russian State Duma, the lower house of parliament, unanimously voted on Thursday to adopt an appeal to the UN demanding a probe into the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in September. MPs described the incident as a “crime committed by the US.” The move comes after a bombshell exposé was published by veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh last week revealing how Washington and its NATO ally Norway cooperated to develop a plan to destroy the pipelines. Russia’s appeal was prepared on behalf of State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who, during Thursday’s parliament meeting, called the blasts a ter...

Ukraine Won’t Be Ready for Patriot Missiles Until 2024: Advisory Body Warns U.S. Congress of High Risks From Deliveries

Missile Batteries From Patriot System The U.S. Congressional Research Service (CRS) advisory body has warned that Congress is facing issues “in both its legislative and oversight roles” over the deliver of Patriot surface to air missile systems to Ukraine, after the intention to send these systems as part of a $1.85 billion aid package was announced in December. It highlighted that although Patriot systems had been widely speculated to begin deliveries in the first half of 2023, training local repair crews alone would take approximately 53 weeks. “There is a lot of learning to do before Ukraine will have a functioning Patriot system on the ground,” it emphasised. It was previously speculated that U.S. or other NATO service members could man the Patriots after their de...

Iran Urges UNSC Not to Keep Silent against ‘Israel’ Accusation

Iran UN envoy to the United Nations Amir Saeed Iravani in a letter to the president of the United Nations Security Council condemned the baseless accusations of the ambassador of the Zionist regime against Iran. The Iranian diplomat roundly dismissed the Zionist regime’s envoy Gilad Erdan’s anti-Iranian allegations, emphasizing, “The aim of such baseless accusations is to divert the world public opinion away from the continuing crimes and serious violations of international principles by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people.” He pointed to the desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of al-Quds by Israel’s new far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, saying, “It is regrettable that the Zionist regime’s blatant violations of human rights and int...

UN Passes Resolution Condemning Death Penalty Despite US Opposition

The U.S. joined Saudi Arabia, Iran and North Korea in voting against the resolution. By Julia Conley , COMMONDREAMS Anti-death penalty activist Judy Coode of Pax Christi International demonstrates in front of the U.S. Justice Department on July 13, 2020, in Washington, DC. President Joe Biden’s stated opposition to the death penalty did not stop the United States from joining Saudi Arabia, Iran, and North Korea in voting against a United Nations resolution supporting a worldwide moratorium on the practice on Thursday, leading critics to question once again whether the president will make good on his campaign pledge to eliminate capital punishment in his own country. The resolution passed in a vote of 125-37 with 22 abstensions, but as it has ...

Seeing Ourselves as We See Others! The U.S. and Russia at the U.N

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 2022, pp. 34-35 Special Report By Ian Williams THE TENSE RUN UP run up to the U.N. vote against Putin’s annexation of tracts of Ukraine was, in the end, as unequivocal as most votes against Israeli occupation, although you will rarely see the comparison in the U.S. or UK press. Those who voted outright to support Putin’s folly—North Korea, Nicaragua, Syria and Belarus—were as unprincipled and dependent on Russia as the handful of atolls, who support Israel, are on U.S. handouts. There were competing forces. Those, like Syria and North Korea who would vote for Russia if Moscow declared the moon was made of green cheese; those who would vote for basic U.N. principles; and the 35 abstainers who,...
