I-UN Ceasefire ichaza iMfazwe njengoMsebenzi ongabalulekanga

NguMedea uBenjamin kunye noNicolas JS Davies

Ubuncinci kumazwe angama-70 atyikitye ubizo luka-Matshi 23 nguNobhala-Jikelele we-UN u-Antonio Guterres we-a emhlabeni wonke jikelele ngexesha le-Covid-19 bhubhane. Njengamashishini angabalulekanga kwimidlalo kunye nababukeli, imfazwe yinto entle ukuba uNobhala-Jikelele athi silawule ngaphandle okwethutyana. Emva kokuba iinkokheli zase-US zixelele abantu baseMelika iminyaka ukuba imfazwe yinto engendawo okanye sisisombululo kwiingxaki zethu, uMnu Guterres usikhumbuza ukuba imfazwe yeyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu nokungabinamdla kwizinto ezingakwaziyo ukufikelela kwihlabathi-ngakumbi ngexesha ubhubhani.

 Unobhala Jikelele we-UN kunye neManyano yaseYurophu nabo babize ukumiswa kwe- imfazwe yezoqoqosho ukuba i-US ihlawula amanye amazwe ngesoyikiso sokudibanela sobunye. Amazwe aphantsi kohlaselo lolunye e-US abandakanya iCuba, i-Iran, iVenezuela, iNicaragua, iNorth Korea, iRussia, iSudan, neSyria kunye neZimbabwe.  

 Ekuhlaziyeni kwakhe ngo-3 ku-Epreli-XNUMX, uGuterres wabonisa ukuba uthatha umnxeba wakhe wokuphelisa umlilo ngokungqongqo, egcizelela Ukupheliswa kokwenyani, hayi ukubhengezwa okuhle. "... kukho umgama omkhulu phakathi kokubhengezwa kunye nokusebenza," utshilo uGuterres. Isibongozo sakhe sokuqala sokuba "sibeke umlo oxhobileyo kokuvalela ngaphandle 'wabiza amaqela alwayo kuyo yonke indawo ukuba" athule imipu, ayeke umsebenzi wobugcisa, aphelise i-airstrikes, "engatsho nje ukuba bangathanda, okanye bayakuyijonga le nto ukuba iintshaba zabo bazenza kuqala.

Kodwa angama-23 kumazwe angama-53 atyikitye kwisivumelwano sokumisa umlo kwi-UN asenemikhosi e-Afghanistan njengenxalenye yomgaqo Umanyano weNATO ukulwa neTaliban. Ngaba onke amazwe angama-23 sele eyekile ukudubula ngoku? Ukubeka inyama kumathambo e-UN inyathelo, amazwe athembekileyo malunga noku kuzibophelela kufuneka axelele umhlaba ukuba benza ntoni ukuze baphile kuwo.

E-Afghanistan, uthethathethwano loxolo phakathi kwe-US, urhulumente wase-Afghanistan no-Taliban oqhubekayo emibini iminyaka. Kodwa ezi ntetho azimisi i-US ukuba ingaqhushumbisi i-Afghanistan ngaphezulu kunanini na emva kokuhlaselwa kwe-US ngo-2001. Iibhola ze-15,560 kunye neemfono kwi-Afghanistan ukusukela ngoJanuwari ngo-2018, kunye nokunyuka okuqikelelweyo kumanqanaba ayoyikisayo ase Abantu abenzakala e-Afghan. 

Akukho kuncitshiswa kukuqhushumisa kwebhombu yase-US ngoJanuwari okanye ngoFebruwari ngo-2020, kwaye uMnu Guterres wathi kuhlaziyo luka-Epreli 3 ukuba ukulwa e-Afghanistan kukhule ngo-Matshi kuphela, nangaphaya kwe-29 kaFebruwari. isivumelwano soxolo phakathi kwe-US kunye neTaliban.

 Ke, nge-8 ka-Epreli, abaguli bakaTaliban waphuma Ientetho kunye norhulumente wase-Afghanistan malunga nokungavisisani malunga nokukhutshelwa kwamabanjwa okuhlanganisiweyo okubizelwe kwisivumelwano sase-US nase-Afghanistan. Ke kuseza kubonakala ukuba ingaba isivumelwano soxolo okanye umnxeba ka Mnumzana Guterres wokumisa umlo uya kukhokelela ekumisweni okwenyani kweenqwelomoya zase-US kunye nokunye ukulwa e-Afghanistan. Ukupheliswa kwamalungu angama-23 omanyano lwe-NATO athe asayina kwi-UN ukuba aphelise umlilo kuya kuba luncedo olukhulu.

 Impendulo yoonozakuzaku kwisibhengezo sikaMnu. Guterres sokupheliswa komlilo esivela e-United States, eyona ndlongondlongo emhlabeni, ibikukungasihoyi. I-US National Security Council (NSC) yenze njalo phinda wenze i-tweet Isuka kuMnu Guterres malunga nokupheliswa kwemfazwe, yongeza, "I-United States inethemba lokuba onke amaqela ase-Afghanistan, eSyria, e-Iraq, eLibya, e-Yemen nakwezinye iindawo aya kuthobela umnxeba ka @antonioguterres. Lixesha loxolo nentsebenziswano. ” 

Kodwa i-NSC tweet ayitshongo ukuba i-US iyakuthatha inxaxheba ekupheliseni umlilo, iphambise umnxeba we-UN kuwo onke amanye amaqela alwayo. I-NSC ayikhange ibhekise kwi-UN okanye kwisikhundla sika-Mnu. Guterres njengo-Nobhala Jikelele we-UN, ngokungathi usungule inyathelo lakhe njengomntu wabucala oneenjongo ezintle endaweni yentloko yequmrhu lozakuzo eliphambili. Okwangoku, akukho Sebe likaRhulumente okanye iPentagon ebikhe yabeka impendulo eluntwini kwilinge lokupheliswa komlilo kwi-UN.

Ke, ngelishwa, i-UN yenza inkqubela phambili ekuphelisweni kwamazwe apho i-US ingengomnye wabakhokelayo. Umdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia ohlasela i-Yemen ubhengeze ubumbano iiveki ezimbini zokuphelisa umlilo ukuqala nge-9 ka-Epreli ukumisela inqanaba leentetho ezibanzi zoxolo. Omabini la maqela axhase esidlangalaleni umnxeba wokupheliswa komlilo kwi-UN, kodwa urhulumente waseHouthi eYemen ayizukuvuma Ukuphelisa umlilo de abe amaSaudis ayeke ukuhlasela kwawo i-Yemen.

 Ukuba umlo wokupheliswa komthetho kwi-UN ubambe i-Yemen, uya kuthintela ubhubhane ekuhlanganiseni ngumlo kwaye ingxaki yoluntu esele ibulele amakhulukhulu amawaka abantu. Kodwa uzakwenza njani urhulumente wase-US kwiinzame zoxolo e-Yemen ezisongelayo ezona ntengiso zentengiso zase-US ukuthengisa izixhobo zangaphandle eSaudi Arabia?

ESyria, i Abantu base103 kuxelwe ukubulawa ngo-Matshi yeyona nto iphantsi kakhulu yokufa kwabantu ngenyanga, njengoko kuye kwaphethwa umlo phakathi kweRussia neTurkey eIdlib. UGeir Pedersen, umthunywa okhethekileyo we-UN eSyria, uzama ukwandisa oku kumlo wokuphelisa umlilo phakathi kwawo onke amaqela alwayo, kuquka ne-United States.

KwiLibya, omabini amaqela aphambili emfazweni, urhulumente owamkelwe ngu-UN e-Tripoli kunye nemikhosi yomvukeli jikelele u-Khalifa Haftar, wamkele esidlangalaleni umnxeba we-UN wokuphelisa umlo, kodwa umlo iba mandundu ngakumbi ngoMatshi. 

KwiiPhilippines, urhulumente kaRodrigo Duterte kunye ne-Maoist Umkhosi waBantu abatsha, eliliphiko elixhobileyo leqela lamaKomanisi bakwiiPhilippines, bavumile ukumisa ngomlilo kwimbambano yabo yeminyaka engama-50. Kwenye imfazwe yamakhaya yeminyaka engama-50, umkhosi wase-Colombia Umkhosi wenkululeko (i-ELN) usabele kwisicelo sokumisa umlo nge-UN ngomnxeba unilateral Ukuphela komlilo yinyanga ka-Epreli, eyathi inethemba lokuba ingakhokelela kwiincoko zoxolo ezingapheliyo norhulumente.

 ECameroon, apho amaqela ahlukeneyo athetha ulwimi lwesiNgesi sele esilwa kangangeminyaka emi-3 ukwenza ilizwe elizimeleyo elibizwa i-Ambazonia, elinye iqela labavukeli, u-Socadef, uxele ukuphela kweeveki ezimbini, kodwa akukho qela labavukeli likhulu le-Ambazonia Defense Force (ADF) norhulumente bengazange bajoyine umlo.

 I-UN isebenza nzima ekuphembeleleni abantu noorhulumente kuyo yonke indawo ukuba bathathe ikhefu kwimfazwe, eyona nto ingabalulekanga kakhulu kwaye ibulala abantu. Kodwa ukuba singayeka imfazwe ngexesha lobhubhani, kutheni singanikezeli ngokupheleleyo? Leliphi ilizwe elonakalisiweyo ongathanda ukuba i-US iqalise ukulwa kunye nokubulala kwakhona xa ubhubhani uphelile? Afghanistani? Yemen? Somaliya? Okanye ungayikhetha imfazwe entsha yaseMelika ngokuchasene ne-Iran, iVenezuela okanye i-Ambazonia?

 Sicinga ukuba sinoluvo olungcono. Masinyanzelise ukuba urhulumente wase-US ayirhoxise i-airstrikes yakhe, oombayimbayi kunye nokuhlasela ebusuku e-Afghanistan, eSomalia, e-Iraq, eSyria naseNtshona Afrika, kunye nenkxaso yokuphelisa imililo e-Yemen, e-Libya nakwihlabathi liphela. Emva koko, xa ubhubhane ugqityiwe, masinyanzelise ukuba i-US ihloniphe isithintelo se-UN Charter ngokuchasene nesoyikiso okanye ukusetyenziswa kwamandla, iinkokheli ezilumkileyo zaseMelika ezathi zayila zaza zasayina ngo-1945, kwaye siqale ukuhlala ngoxolo nabo bonke abamelwane bethu kwihlabathi liphela. I-US ayikaze izame loo nto ixesha elide kakhulu, kodwa mhlawumbi ngumbono wokuba lifikile nini ixesha.
