No war during pandemic Covid19-But will the USA agree to pass the proposal?



United Nation's meeting on ending wars during Covid

Lockdown due to pandemic Coronavirus is occurring all over the world. In such a scenario a draft resolution was sent to the UN Security Council to end the war in various parts of the world.  That was an offer made by Germany and Estonia.

Earlier a draft ceasefire between France and Tunisia was blocked by the United States. Consequently, the proposal could not go any further. The United States has, in turn, opposed the earlier proposal for having the name of the World Health Organisation, or WHO, and has practically destroyed the proposal. For this reason, the World Health Organization has not been mentioned in the new proposal.

The new proposal, according to the French news agency AFP, includes five topics in the previous draft proposal, instead of the nine. The decision focuses on helping the 20 countries involved in the coronavirus crisis or war. As in the previous proposal, it has called for a humanitarian ceasefire to help the worst affected communities for at least 90 consecutive days.

When the vote will be organized on this proposal is unknown at this time. It wasn't immediately clear whether the US would oppose the proposal or not.  Source: Purse Today, AFP.
