worse, the development prospects and the hard work of the small countries to rise up from poverty, are being retarded by the high prices and severe disruptions that began with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and that are being exacerbated by the war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">\u201cTherefore\u2026we call on the permanent members of the Security Council to recommit themselves to the role, which they assumed and pledged to safeguard. Peace must be restored for the world\u2019s sake\u2026 and soon. It is the Permanent Members of the Security Council \u2013 all of them \u2013 which have that primary obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">Browne warned that to abandon that obligation in the pursuit of selfish desires, legitimises the call for reform and an expansion of the Security Council.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">He said concerted action by the Security Council is necessary to prevent major human rights violations, stop ongoing breaches and address global conflicts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">\u201cIf this fails to happen with the urgency that is required, it may call for the General Assembly to initiate its own global actions, and to authorize their implementation. I do not anticipate that this call for action by the General Assembly would be welcomed by the permanent members of the Security Council.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">The Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister said climate change is also a major issue confronting the global community , recalling last December, due to a veto cast by one of the five permanent members, the UN Security Council had to reject a draft resolution, framing the problem of climate change as a threat to international peace and security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">\u201cThat draft resolution was co-sponsored by 113 member states, representing the second highest number of countries to support a draft resolution in the history of the Security Council,\u201d Browne said, asking whether it is fair that the evidence-based resolution, which emanated from the concerns and anxieties of so large a host of nations, should be vetoed by a single country?<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">\u201cClimate Change remains the single greatest, common threat to all mankind. More so, for small island developing states (SIDS), which lack the financial resources to adapt to mortal shocks, and to rebuild in their aftermath, \u201c Browne said, adding that SIDS have a legitimate and urgent concern.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3968176462\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, Friday called on the United Nations Security Council to live up to the ideals for which it had been established as he lamented the myriad of challenges confronting the global community, including climate change and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
