Hello and welcome to The Geneva Corridor. I am Matthias Keller, and I spent eleven years in rooms where the things we are about to describe happened, usually late and usually without coffee. Today we follow a Security Council resolution from beginning to end. Not the vote you see on the news, but the weeks before it: the corridor conversation where a text is first floated, the zero draft, the comments from fifteen delegations, the paragraphs that quietly disappear, the moment the text goes into blue, and the silence procedure that can be broken by a single email. My guest was a penholder for a humanitarian file and she will explain what the job involves. We will also be precise about what a veto blocks and what it does not.
