Along with this call, Australia should propose that finding a pathway to end the conflict should be handed over to the Secretary General of the UN. It is time that introducing some semblance of order, and a negotiated solution to conflict is handed back to the UN. Countries like China, Russia, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Canada, the European Union, UK, Japan, as a minimum, should back this proposal and empower the UN to commence discussions on ways and means to find a way to end this conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If nothing is done at this juncture, the repercussions for the whole world will be massive and perhaps even irreversible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a choice, Mr Albanese.
