Sep. 23 () –
The Mexican Foreign Minister, Marcelo Ebrarb, has proposed to the UN General Assembly a diplomatic delegation made up of heads of state and government to reduce tension and mediate between Russia and Ukraine.
This delegation, which would accompany the mediation efforts of the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, would be made up of highly relevant international leaders such as the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, or Pope Francis, according to Ebrarb in his speech.
The proposal comes after what the head of Mexican diplomacy has described as a “paralysis” of the UN Security Council, which he has blamed for not having prevented the war in Ukraine or taking measures to stop the aggression or launch a diplomatic process.
“Faced with this paralysis, we had to resort to the General Assembly in a special emergency session in which Mexico, together with France, proposed the appropriate framework to channel humanitarian aid, (…) which has been useful, but which is clearly insufficient in the wake of destruction and suffering left by the war,” Ebrarb said.
“For these reasons, the president of Mexico (…) proposes that a delegation or caucus of heads of state and government encourage and accompany the secretary general’s efforts to promote confidence-building measures between Russia and Ukraine,” has added.
Ebrarb has detailed that Mexico wants to offer “a complementary diplomatic channel” to the existing ones, in order to interact with the parties in conflict.
“We will continue with the necessary consultations, with the sole purpose of being able to contribute, as an impartial actor and in good faith, to generate the widest possible support for the efforts and good offices of the Secretary General and the delegation”, added the Minister of Mexican Foreign.
