New Delhi: Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador intends to submit a written proposal to the UN to establish a commission, made up of three world leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to promote a world truce for a period of five years, MSN web portal reported.
“I will make the proposal in writing, I will present it to the UN. I have been saying it and I hope the media will help us to spread it. Because they do not speak when it is not convenient for them,” MSN quoted Obrador as saying during a press conference.
The top commission should comprise Pope Francis, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the Mexican President’s proposal.
The commission’s goal would be to come up with a plan to put an end to world conflicts and come to a consensus on the need for at least a five-year cease-fire.
“The three of them meet and soon present a proposal to stop the war everywhere, and reach an agreement to seek a truce of at least five years, so that governments around the world dedicate themselves to support their peoples, especially the people who are suffering the most from the war and its effects; that we have five years without tension, without violence and with peace,” he said.
The Mexican president has encouraged China, Russia, and the United States to work toward peace and has called for a halt to warlike behaviour, hoping that the three nations “will listen and accept an intermediation such as the one we are proposing.”
“Tell them, by their confrontations, in nothing more than a year, they have caused this. They have precipitated the world economic crisis, they have increased inflation and caused food shortages, more poverty and, worst of all, in one year, because of the confrontations, so many human beings have lost their lives. That is a paragraph. That’s what they have done in one year,” MSN quoted him.

Moreover, he urged all states to support the UN rather than the bureaucratic process via which proposals and initiatives are offered.
