Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>China and the US have been urged to back a UN resolution seeking a ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on climate change. Jotham Napat, foreign minister of Vanuatu, said: \u201cWe are hoping that China and the US will probably raise their hand to call for full (consensus).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hoping they (US and China) do the right thing,\u201d American ABC News reported. The Pacific Island nation is leading a coalition of more than 115 countries seeking an \u201cAdvisory Opinion\u201d on climate change from the ICJ.<\/p>\n

The ICJ climate resolution at the ongoing 77th UN General Assembly session is expected to be presented later this week for co-sponsorship until voting is held.<\/p>\n

If the resolution is passed, the ICJ will have to issue the ruling. However, it won\u2019t be binding on UN member states. It seeks ICJ to rule on the international legal obligation states have to tackle the environmental crisis.<\/p>\n

Napat told ABC\u2019s Foreign Affairs Reporter Stephen Dziedzic that Joe Biden Administration was \u201creluctant to take a stand\u201d on the vote. Vanuatu\u2019s top diplomat had discussed the issue with White House\u2019s top Asia advisor Kurt Campbell during the latter\u2019s visit to the capital Port Vila last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made every attempt. I have written several letters to China through different discussions we have had simply asking if they could co-sponsor the resolution,\u201d Napat said in the video interview.<\/p>\n

Napat, however, said a \u201cgood number of nations were already backing Vanuatu\u2019s resolution.\u201d \u201cWe are asking the US and China to consider this. It\u2019s about our survival. It\u2019s about the next generation.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not be greedy,\u201d Vanuatu\u2019s foreign minister said.<\/p>\n
