Road to 97

When the Security Council is blocked by veto, Resolution 377 — Uniting for Peace — lets the General Assembly act. If 97 countries request it, an Emergency Special Session must be convened within 24 hours.

1. Veto → Deadlock

Recent Gaza aid resolutions were vetoed: the textbook definition of deadlock.

2. Resolution 377

Uniting for Peace moves action to the General Assembly when the Council fails.

3. 97 Requests

A majority of Member States request an Emergency Special Session.

4. ESS in 24h

The Assembly convenes; humanitarian corridors and funding can be authorized.

The Shield Against Hunger

Imagine if Canada, Ireland, and Scotland stirred their peoples and moved even the UK toward conscience. Imagine if the Nordics, the Benelux, and Poland dared to form a shield — not of iron or wealth alone, but of will, of aid, of promises kept to the children.

“May we draw our shield as a sword against those who would deny any child the right to be fed.”

“Hunger is now being weaponized — turned into a tool of war… We cannot allow this to happen any longer.”

— President Nataša Pirc Musar, UNGA 80 (Sept 24, 2025)
