Committee on Defence and National Security
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Colm Doyle:
All the recommendations of solutions coming out of the General Assembly look for support. There is currently nothing binding about a resolution passed by the General Assembly as it stands. The only resolution that is currently legally binding is the UN Security Council and until that is changed, we are never sure who will vote "Yes" and who will vote "No". It is a reality we must face and I am not too sure there is an alternative. If there was an alternative within the General Assembly that we could latch onto that would solve the problem, fine, but if there is not one there, we have a dilemma.
