Erm... Bonky Moon has laid down the law and told both men to...
Pack it in with the rhetoric.
Prepare their electorates for compromises and support for reunion
Come to agreements on the core issues on the basis of UN res's
Accept a more pro-active UN expert role (both accepted)
To come to agreement on core issues by October.
To be prepared for an International Conference post-October to finalise outstanding issues.
There is an if attached to that Bill "if they come to agreement on most of the issues"
In reality what the UNSG did was just postpone everything until October.
By then there are 3 possibilities
a)That there will be substantial progress,
b)The will be very little progress.
c)there will be no progress.
Most analysts say most probably "b" will occur, however nobody can tell what the UN will do then.
