UNSC Draft Resolution Targets Freedom of Navigation in Strait of Hormuz
What happened
France is drafting a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at creating an international mission to protect freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. This proposal is being developed in coordination with the United States following discussions between Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump. Previous efforts to secure Security Council action failed because China and Russia objected to measures against Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, and threats to shipping have severely disrupted normal commercial traffic. France is circulating the resolution to assess whether the continuing disruption and pressure on global energy markets can produce sufficient international support for a new mission.
