Security Council. The EU includes several non-permanent members of the UNSC. This has
enabled the EU to influence world politics such as on attracting global attention for starting a
probe on investigation on the emergence of SARS Cov-2 indirectly a probe on china and
filling several suits by EU member countries also influenced other countries to start
demanding reparations considering the carelessness of china in dealing with the virus as a war
against humanity.and also the indications on Turkey joining the EU would also ease its
relations with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation as whole and throwing off the china ‘s
mission to divide and rule in Europe as the most conflicted identities would join hands
