Committee on Defence and National Security

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Cathal Berry:

Not only has the UN Security Council not found the means to intervene in this situation, but it has not even found the courage to summon a consensus to condemn the activity. There has not even been a motion of condemnation and that tells us how deadlocked and paralysed the Security Council is at the moment.
