The UN General Assembly kicks off today in New York
The UN General Assembly kicks off today in New York, and this year’s meeting could have a huge impact on the world. Global superpowers are meeting today to discuss a resolution that would force Bashar al-Assad to give up his chemical weapons; the key here is whether or not Russia will throw its support behind the effort. The General Assembly could also lead to a breakthrough on Iran’s nuclear program. Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting with Iran’s foreign minister on Thursday, and it’s even possible Obama will run into Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Don’t be surprised if some UN members take this chance to give the U.S. a slap on the wrist over NSA spying. • 8 reasons this week’s UN meeting is a BFD (WaPo).
