[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

And that's all from the plenary session. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Russia's directive receives 8 for, 24 against, and no abstentions. Maybe they went a tad too far? #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Australian directive receives 12 votes for, 9 against, 3 abstaining. Australia clearly making friends. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

France wants decisive action, calls Russia weak and 'gutless', 'shadow of their former self'. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

France speaks against Russia: they are not completely opposed, don't think it goes far enough. Wants nuclear strikes. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

SKorea assures the delegation that they are healthy. Concerned about food security. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

SKorea and France speaking against Australia's directive. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Russia wishes to use banned cluster munitions and napalm against affected areas. It's not nukes but it's not far off. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Russia considers that this is a pragmatic approach; we will consolidate strength in healthy communities. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Russia now speaking: wants to suspend human rights, weaponize infected individuals against IS. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

(Australia also proposes a social media campaign with a hashtag.) #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Australia: we will provide and set up media sources if need be. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

NT news: how will the media campaign occur in countries with little media coverage? #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Australia is confident that we will have a vaccine and cure ready before that happens. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

RT: what happens to the non-net food producers? Border closing will cause famines. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Australia doesn't expect an appropriate response from Russia, only nukes. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Australia: our plan is comprehensive and cohesive, and should be considered. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

...mandatoy medical screenings at airports, engaging with doctors, and providing medical aid to affected regions. #SAMUNC2014

[SAMUNC NYT @SAMUNC_nyt]

Australian directive: close all borders to contain, develop a task force to do this, use media to promote hyigiene...#SAMUNC2014
