If
I were the UN Secretary-General, I would immediately dispatch a Personal Envoy
to consult with the authorities in Riyadh and Teheran, as well as with the Arab League and the key states in the region. The point is to take the
initiative, at a very high level, to reduce the growing tensions between Saudi
Arabia and Iran. The SG should do it. And select the Envoy from a pool of respected
former Heads of State or Prime Ministers, preferably from Asia.
He
has the power and the status to initiate such a move. And he has to be seen as
being extremely preoccupied with the aggravating situation in the Middle East. More
so, because the new critical developments have a deep negative impact on the
very timid and tentative peace processes that are about to start regarding
Syria and Yemen.
