UNWTO Nkwusioru nke Russia iwu na-akwadoghị?

Na February 28 eTurboNews mụtara banyere UNWTO Secretary-General Pololikashvili calling for Russia to be removed as a member of the Òtù Njem Nleta Ụwa.

It was noticed by WTN VP Dr. Waler Mzembi, that it’s brave for Pololikashvili to move ahead with Russia’s suspension. Pololikashvili however may be accused of a conflict of interest given the centrality of his native country Georgia getting tangled in the current Ukraine conflict.

N'ezie, UNWTO Ndị otu bụ gọọmentị ndị ozi njem nlegharị anya nọchitere anya ha. Nke UNWTO bụ ụlọ ọrụ na-ahụ maka diplomacy ọha na eze kwesịrị itinye aka na ndị mmadụ na ndị mmadụ ma ọ bụ diplomacy nwa amaala na-achị na Russia. 

The World Tourism Network applauded the step UNWTO malitere but with caution. WTN’s Vice President Walter Mzembi, who himself was competing against Zurab in the 2017 Secretary-General election suggested:

• Tupu nkwusioru ahụ, UNWTO kwesịrị ịhọpụta ọrụ udo na Russia ịrịọ arịrịọ na nchịkwa na Russia ma hụ mkpa udo dị ka onye na-ede akwụkwọ nke njem na njem nlegharị anya na-aga nke ọma. Nke a nwere ike ịbụ ụzọ ka mma kama ịnwe ọnọdụ nkewa, nke nwere ike kewaa nzukọ a n'echiche na n'ikpeazụkwa n'anụ ahụ.
• Nke abuo, nkwusioru nke onye otu bụ mkpebi ndọrọ ndọrọ ọchịchị nke nwere ike ọ gaghị abụcha ndị minista njem nlegharị anya ga-achọ ka ya na gọọmentị ụlọ nwee mkparịta ụka sara mbara. N'otu oge ahụ UNWTO n'onwe ya bụ akụkụ nke UN Cabinet. Ọ nweghị ike ime ihe n'otu n'otu ebe Russia n'onwe ya na-anọdụ ala ebe ahụ na Council Security na ikike veto.

WTN urged for UNWTO Secretary-General Pololikashville to designate a special envoy to handle and balance this assignment and recuse himself personally because of what he may be otherwise accused of – a conflict of interest.

The World Tourism Network today urged UNWTO to follow its own rules of procedure for suspending members pursuing a policy contrary to the fundamental aim of the organization. WTN in principle supports UNWTO’s intention but urged rules should be followed by an UN-affiliated agency in such a sensitive move, otherwise, such an overall supported move may backfire.

Happy National Day, Russia🇷🇺!

A UNWTO member since 1975, #Russia has made tourism an ally for sustainable growth.

RULE 51: Procedure for suspending members pursuing a policy contrary to the fundamental aim of the organization.

The rule states:
1) Any request to suspend a member in accordance with article 34 of the Statues shall be addressed to the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General shall submit it to the Executive Council, and the Executive Council shall report on the question to the assembly.

2) Such a request must be submitted at least sixty days before the Council’s session.

3) Within thirty days from the date on which he receives a request for suspension, as provided for in paragraph 1 above, the Secretary-General shall transmit it to the members, enclosing the account of facts considered to justify suspension under article 34 of the statutes.

4) Any request to suspend a member to the assembly shall be referred to a committee set up for the purpose by the assembly and tasked with presenting a report. The same procedure shall also apply to the lifting of the suspension provided for in article 34(2) of the Statutes.

mmechi:

Ọ na-egosi UNWTO is moving too fast this time. There was only a little more than a week for this request to be submitted to the Executive Council session.

The Executive Council has been called to meet this week in Madrid on March 8 to decide on this matter.

Perhaps a better move would be for UNWTO to warn the world to travel to Russia in current times and go through the procedure.
