Global Peace: Kalu seeks amendment of IPU rules to allow more emergency items from Africa, others

, Benjamin Kalu has advocated for the amendment of the rules of the global body of parliamentarians, the Inter-Parliamentary Union General Assembly to accommodate emergency items from Africa.

Some other proposals also tendered for consideration were a call for urgent action regarding the conflict in the Middle East; Free, fair and transparent elections without prohibitions aimed towards an orderly and peaceful democratic transition in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; and the call for urgent action to end the aggression and massive violations of human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“Let us interpret the rule’s purpose – addressing pressing issues – to allow for consideration of multiple emergency items. By reforming our processes, we can ensure parliamentary diplomacy truly reflects the world’s diverse needs. “ The Assembly may place only one emergency item on its agenda. Should several requests obtain the requisite majority, the one having received the largest number of positive votes shall be accepted.”

“From the horrific situation in Sudan, with over 13,000 lives lost, to the ongoing tragedy in the D.R. Congo, to the militancy and terror in Sahel Africa, the human cost of these conflicts cannot be ignored because the ripple effects of these crises in Africa ultimately impact the world.
