Disturbance in the Status Quo Delegates from around the globe were spotted at yesterday’s nuclear non-proliferation talks at the United Nations’ headquarters. Some seemed tranquil while others remained livid, nevertheless each and every delegate left adorning a unanimous face of astonishment. It seems that in an unexpected turn of events, a clear-cut and conventional resolution was torn to inconsequential shreds by the North Korean delegates. Written by the United Kingdom, the examined resolution was entitled: “Global Endeavours for Nuclear Non-Proliferation”. The resolution in question had twelve separate requests covering various issues such as Iran’s suspected nuclear program, North Korea’s denunciation of the NPT, and the role of the General Assembly. For the westernized nations, this resolution held a promising shelf-life going into the UN conference. However, facing the absence of both the proposing and seconding nation come voting time, it was all but neatly swept away. The United Kingdom and the United States of America were completely unrepresented in the nuclear non-proliferation decisions made. The unexpected nonattendance of these two nations left the allied delegates from France, Russia, and Canada in a frustrated frenzy as North Korea’s Kim Jong Il took the global stage. In a manner that can only be described as the complete opposite of doe-eyed, Kim Jong Il virtually took the chair’s position out from under her, removing operative clause after operative clause. The resolution was stripped to its wiry skeletal frame until it barely had the authority to stand up on its own. The resolution was passed in a near-unanimous vote. There has been a clear shift in power at the UN headquarters. Only time can tell us if/ how this effects the United States’ proposal of the Darfur conflict resolution.  Lauren [
