UN Envoy Cautiously Optimistic About Bahrain’s Hormuz Resolution

Jamal Fares Alrowaiei, Bahrain’s UN Ambassador, has expressed the need for further refinement in the country’s proposed UN Security Council resolution, which aims to empower all necessary measures to safeguard commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz.

Alrowaiei noted that ongoing dialogue with Security Council members is underway to harmonize perspectives and craft a draft that can garner widespread support, thereby facilitating its adoption at the earliest opportunity.

Bahrain, currently at the helm of the 15-member council for the month of April, has distributed a revised draft resolution that omits a previous explicit reference to binding enforcement, in an effort to address concerns from other nations, particularly Russia and China.

However, a UN diplomat has revealed that China, Russia, and France had raised reservations about the new draft before it could be finalized under the council’s silence procedure, which stipulates that a resolution is adopted if no member objects.
