At the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the 13 delegates started off the third committee session with general remarks while speaking on the Secondary Speaker’s List (SSL). The topic of this debate: the Yemeni Civil War. The delegates are debating on a variety of topics that all have a huge impact on this topic such as the potential development of Yemen’s infrastructure and where to deploy peacekeepers.
Delegates have been discussing three main points about this topic. The first point would be developing Yemen’s infrastructure. This point directly connects to the second topic which is delivering humanitarian aid. Without the proper infrastructure (roads, emergency services, water services, etc.), humanitarian aid would be extremely hard to deliver. Furthermore, this humanitarian aid can easily be intercepted by terrorist groups. This leads to the third point about this topic, which is combating the terrorists currently in Yemen (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant - ISIL). The French seemed to have solutions for all three of these points.
His first to the committee that a coalition front is needed to deal with ISIL. This coalition would include airstrikes which could wipe out many of the terrorist troops located in Yemen. He quickly added on that they would only send airstrikes if the Yemeni government approved of these airstrikes. Also he said that the UNSC must deal with these terrorists before actually sending humanitarian aid into Yemen. If the government isn’t stable enough, the aid sent to Yemen may fall into the wrong hands.
Russia had proposed the idea of having the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank create an organization dedicated to developing infrastructure of countries such as Yemen. This money would also stimulate Yemen’s economy which would effectively create jobs for Yemen’s population. The French added onto Russia’s point by stating that the UNSC should ask the Arab League to fund Yemen as well. He went on saying that the Arab League would fund Yemen because they are a good investment.
Russia has been an active voice in the debate of where the humanitarian aid comes from. Along with what he said about having the IMF and the World Bank cooperating, the delegate also said that a third party watchdog organization should be sent to monitor this cooperation between the IMF and the World Bank so that the money goes into the correct people’s hands. With this watchdog organization, corruption between the officials of the cooperation (of the IMF and the World Bank) and the officials of Yemen would be diminished.
