The Deputy to the US Representative in the United Nations, Ned Price, admitted that the United Nations couldn’t negotiate an end to wars, which he described as unfortunate. Ned Price was speaking to foreign journalists at the Foreign Press Center in New York. He was asked to comment on why the United Nations and world leaders have been unable to resolve crises such as those in Gaza and Ukraine. “This is a question that implicates conflicts and crises in hot spots that have different origins, that had different trajectories, and, as we see it, different paths to resolution. Of course, we all wish that this body across the street were able to successfully negotiate an end to wars and conflicts the world over, but unfortunately, that has not been the case. It certainly hasn’t been for lack of trying,” he explained.
