France and Mexico are pressing U.N. members to mention Russia's invasion in a resolution on the worsening humanitarian situation in Ukraine, but South Africa is arguing against that approach
The proposed South African resolution would recognize “the autonomy of humanitarian objectives from the political, economic, military or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian action is being implemented.” It would also demand protection for civilians and infrastructure indispensable to their survival, and “civilian infrastructure that is critical to enable the delivery of essential services in armed conflict.
France and Mexico decided to seek a humanitarian resolution in the General Assembly after negotiating a similar resolution citing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for two weeks in the Security Council, where Russia made clear it would veto the measure. Supporters of the French-Mexican resolution are hoping they will come close to the vote on the March 2 General Assembly resolution that demanded an immediate halt to Russia’s military action and withdrawal of all its forces. That vote was 141-5, with 35 abstentions, and was hailed by the resolution’s supporters as a demonstration of Russia’s global isolation.
The French-Mexican draft resolution begins by reiterating the opening words of the U.N. Charter, and would reaffirm the General Assembly’s determination “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”
