Renaissance Dam crisis 'beyond the scope' of UN Security Council



The UN Security Council revealed on Thursday that it will not be able to resolve the dispute between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over the Renaissance Dam on the River Nile because the issue is "beyond the scope" of the international body. The claim has shocked both Egypt and Sudan.

Although the council is to discuss the issue, explained French ambassador to the UN Nicolas de Rivière — France has the rotating presidency of the council for July — it will not be able to resolve the problem relating to the second filling of the reservoir behind the dam.

"This issue is between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia, and these three countries should discuss and reach logistical arrangements regarding cooperation and participation in the water quotas," said de Rivière. "Honestly, I do not think the Security Council has the logistical expertise to decide how much water should go to Egypt or Sudan… This issue is beyond the scope and capacity of the Security Council."

He suggested that the council can invite the three countries to express their concerns, "some of which" are legitimate. "Then the Security Council will encourage the parties to come back to the negotiation table to reach a solution… I do not think there is anything more the Security Council can do."
