US vetoes UN Security Council action on Israel, Gaza

美国否决联合国安理会巴以局势有关决议

The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants to allow humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip.

Twelve members voted in favor of the draft text on Wednesday, while Russia and Britain abstained.

10月18日，美国否决了联合国安理会的一项决议，该决议要求暂停以色列和巴勒斯坦哈马斯武装分子之间的冲突，以允许人道主义援助进入加沙地带。

当天，12个成员国对该决议投了赞成票，俄罗斯和英国弃权。

"We are on the ground doing the hard work of diplomacy," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told the 15-member council after the vote. "We believe we need to let that diplomacy play out."

"Yes, resolutions are important. And yes, this council must speak out. But the actions we take must be informed by the facts on the ground and support direct diplomacy efforts. That can save lives. The council needs to get this right," she said.

美国驻联合国大使琳达·托马斯·格林菲尔德在投票后对由15个成员国组成的安理会表示：“我们正在实地进行艰苦的外交工作。”。“我们认为，我们需要让这种外交手段发挥作用。”

“是的，决议很重要。是的，安理会必须大声疾呼。但我们采取的行动必须根据当地的事实，并支持直接的外交努力。这可以挽救生命。安理会需要把这件事做好，”她说。

这项决议草案由巴西起草，相关表决在过去的几天里两次被推迟。18日的表决中，12个安理会成员对草案投了赞成票，俄罗斯和英国弃权，美国投了否决票，致使决议未获通过。

以下是各国网友的评论：

The veto powers of the big 5 should be removed in the UNSC and a simple majority rule adopted in its place.

The Americans and to a lesser extent, the Russians use the veto for political purposes when it suits them.

Let eight out of fifteen decide, not one.

联合国安理会应该取消五大常任理事国的否决权，取而代之的是简单多数规则。

美国人，还有俄罗斯人，在合适的时候出于政治目的会动用否决权。

安理会十五个成员国，八个赞成就可以获得通过，而不是让某个国家一票否决

Simply majority? Can you imagine what would happen if passing a bill that one of the big 5 strongly disagree? This is a place for the big 5 making consensus. Unfortunately but any important event can only happen with all of the big 5’s agreement. Not for the others

简单多数？你能想象，一项法案中，如果五大常任理事国有一个强烈反对，后果会是什么吗？安理会是五巨头达成共识的地方。不幸的是，任何重要事件都只有在五巨头达成一致的情况下才能通过

The U.S. blocking United Nations resolutions can be seen as both a failure and a success for the UN Security Council.

Failure:
1. Lack of multilateral cooperation: Blocking resolutions undermines the principle of multilateralism, which is crucial for addressing global challenges collectively.
2. Failure to address key global issues: Blocking resolutions may hinder efforts to address pressing issues such as conflicts, human ri hts violations, climate change, and nuclear proliferation.
3. Weakening international norms: The lack of support for resolutions weakens international norms and standards, making it harder to hold nations accountable for their actions.

Success:
1. Sovereignty preservation: By blocking resolutions, the U.S. can ensure it maintains control over its own foreign policy decisions, preserving its sovereignty.
2. Addressing biased resolutions: Some argue that the U.S. blocking certain resolutions may be necessary to counter biased or politically motivated resolutions that undermine its interests or those of its allies.
3. Negotiation leverage: The U.S. can use veto power as a negotiation tool to push for changes in resolutions, ensuring their alignment with U.S. interests and concerns.

Overall, whether the U.S. blocking UN resolutions is seen as a failure or success depends on one's perspective and the specific context of each resolution.

美国阻挠联合国决议可以被视为联合国安理会的失败，也可以被视为成功。

失败：

1.缺乏多边合作：一票否决该决议，破坏了多边主义原则，而多边主义对集体应对全球挑战至关重要。

2. 未能解决关键的全球问题：否决该决议可能会破坏解决冲突、侵犯人*、气候变化和核扩散等紧迫问题的努力。

3. 削弱国际规范：缺乏对决议的支持削弱了国际规范和标准，使各国更难对其行为负责。

成功：

1.维护主权：通过阻止决议，美国可以确保对自己的外交政策决策保持控制，维护主权。

2. 解决有偏见的决议：一些人认为，美国阻止某些决议可能是必要的，以对抗有偏见或出于政治动机的决议

3.谈判筹码：美国可以利用否决权作为谈判工具，推动修改决议，确保其符合美国的利益和关切。

总的来说，美国阻止联合国决议是失败还是成功，取决于一个人的观点和每项决议的具体背景。

UNSC should be restructured soon particularly abolishing veto right from permanent members whose use it for their political agenda not for global security.

联合国安理会应该尽快进行重组，特别是取消常任理事国的否决权，那些常任理事国将否决权服务于自身的政治议程，而不是全球安全。
