Cristina Kirchner, Ban Ki-Moon NEW YORK. SPECIAL ENVOY - 05/08/13 In New York there are pleasant 30 degrees, tourists swarming all over London mineral water bottle in hand, in shorts and the "consumer boom" would envy Argentine officials. The weather is not the only contrast in the visit begins today Cristina Kirchner. For two days will move away from the quarrels and domestic crosses the election campaign, to soak in the hot topics of international politics, which can be very first order, as the bloody conflict in Syria or the grave situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo-but almost no impact on the day-to-day Argentina. Cristina was traveling last night and was due to arrive early to meet this afternoon with the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon. And tomorrow will address the central moment of your visit: lead the session of the Security Council, to have the president of the Argentina-the most important organ of the UN, responsible for ensuring peace and international security during August. The country was elected non-permanent member of the Council for 2013-2014 with unanimous support from Latin America and the Caribbean, which have two seats representing the region (the other is occupied Guatemala). Argentina has proposed two work items this month. As reported Friday UN Ambassador, Marita Perceval, Cristina comes to the first, on the relationship between the UN and sub-regional bodies. So this debate is invited representatives of UNASUR and CELAC (the foreign ministers of Peru will and Cuba, whose countries exert the temporary presidency of these forums), the African Union and the League of Arab States. The other issue is the protection of civilians in armed conflict on 19 August, and by the end of the month will discuss the reconstruction of Haiti. So much for the formal. Since the President confirmed this exceptional trip (did not need to attend, and in a month I should go back to the General Assembly) long speculated about his message. You may want to take this opportunity to amplify the complaint against the United Kingdom by the "militarization" of the South Atlantic (finally, after all, a matter of international security), or repudiation cyber espionage in the United States, expressed by Mercosur presidents on July 12 in Montevideo. It could also refer to the need to reform the agency, which continues with the status quo after the War, with five permanent members with veto power (U.S., Russia, UK, China and France). Only the President knows his message and have to wait. Could find ways of saying things and calibrate the tone. But those who know how the Council and the role assumed by the countries taking the presidency, said that unlike the General Assembly, the Board margins are narrower, slick and advanced with consensus of the members. Ambassador Perceval, for instance, lowered expectations when he said that Malvinas is subject Decolonization Committee, not the Security Council. No other agenda Cristina known during his stay, which referred to the UN. The impressive building glazing, home from the 50s and looking the East River, will be this afternoon with Ban Ki Moon. He will also meet with Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota. *************************************************************** Bwahahahahaha Good Luck with that~~
