On May 15th, the United Nation’s security council met in an effort to continue negotiations relating to the developing situation in Pakistan. However after a long meeting, no solutions was reached and after the meeting ended the countries were back to where they started. Many countries including India argued that they wanted other countries to put some additional pressure on Pakistan and “disarm them as quickly as possible”. But it seemed as the meeting progressed ideas were thrown out with out a plan. Iran also notes “we must stop this situation before it becomes a true nuclear crisis” but fail to explain the steps and the process they are going to take to ease the situation. On the other hand Israel seemed to acknowledge that they are in imminent danger and seemed willing to negotiate just as France did also. Israel does a solid job of explaining what they are willing to do to ease the Taliban and they “suggest to install more troops on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan”. This idea is a justifiable first step for a country like Israel to make. During the Security Council, Israel seemed to be one of the few countries that wanted to take quick steps in negotiating with the Taliban.
Also during the Security Council, countries seemed to give the Pakistani government and military too much credit. Countries seemed to trust the Pakistani military despite failures with Pakistan in the past. Although Pakistan seemed reassuring that their military and government were up for a challenge, we can not leave an inexperienced Pakistani government to take up the challenge of the Taliban. Pakistan has failed to realize what the Taliban is capable off and it has hurt there government to this point.
In the middle of the Security Council, the media received word another terrorist bombing allegedly occurred in England by the Taliban, but the bomb was detonated. Without much progress in the Security Council, people should be worried about another attack. It is important for the Security Council to come up with an agreement, and to make sure no more terrorist attacks happen At the end of the security council, the Taliban leader gave reassurance that they had the proper launch codes to the missiles. Although there is no proof this is true, the Security Council must be scared because the Taliban and Nuclear weapons mean no good. The next UN Security council must have quick negotiations and realize innocent lives are at stake.
