On thursday, 16th May 2013 last General Assembly session was taking place at Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana. The discussed topic was reform of Security Council for 21st century. Before the session, presiding officers received two draft resolutions that were sponsored by two different groups of countries. First proposal was written by few Uniting for Consensus members and the second solution was proposed by African and G4 group states. Both of the documents did not achieve required majority of two thirds of votes and they were not accepted.
After the session and final votings were finished, we asked Ms. Tjaša Božič to comment on rejection of Draft resolution 1. Italy was one of the sponsors (together with Spain and Turkey) and main promotors of this document. Unfortunately, Draft resolution 1 was denied when 9 states voted for, 11 voted against and 9 abstained.
We also interviewed the delegate of India, Ms. Maša Tiselj who sponsored Draft resolution 2 together with South Africa, Egypt and Germany. Their proposal also did not received required support when 12 states supported it, 14 were against it and 3 countries abstained.
