Former UN speechwriter Mark Seddon urges member states at the United Nations General Assembly to invoke the Uniting for Peace resolution and establish a protective international force to defend Palestinians in Gaza. He outlines how the General Assembly can bypass the U.S. veto at the Security Council by using Uniting for Peace to form a “coalition of the willing,” capable of delivering humanitarian aid, enforcing a no-fly zone, and protecting civilians. Mark Seddon brings deep insider experience: he served as a speechwriter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, media advisor to former UNGA President María Fernanda Espinosa, and was Al Jazeera’s first UN Correspondent.
