I am taking the floor to explain our position on the inclusion in the General Assembly’s agenda for the coming session of the item entitled “The situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine”.
We are of the view that debating a multifaceted issue of a highly political and controversi…
I thank you, Sir, for organizing this meeting.
The situation in Idlib is critical and every effort must be made to prevent it from getting out of control. While we must continue to combat terrorists, it should be done with the utmost care for the lives of civilians, as we have always stressed and a…

My delegation joined the consensus on resolution 74/179. However, I would like to express my delegation’s reservations about the parts of the report contained in the document and in the resolution concerned that could be construed as a recognition of the Israeli regime.
At the outset, I would like to thank the group of friends of the Foreign Policy and Global Health Initiative as the co-facilitators of resolution 74/20, in particular the delegation of France as the facilitator of this year’s resolution, for the hard work and relentless efforts in convening and lead…
Let me begin by commending the representatives of Singapore and Norway for leading the consultations on the draft resolutions under consideration (A/74/L.22 and A/74/L.21), which reflect the latest developments in the area of oceans and the law of the sea, as well as sustainable fisheries, respectiv…
My delegation wishes to speak in explanation of vote to reiterate its position on the Russian and Ukrainian dispute. We are of the view that the parties concerned should pursue the peaceful resolution of disputes through direct political dialogue in furthering efforts to achieve a workable solution …
As usual, today the representative of the Israeli regime made unfounded claims that are contrary to the situation on the ground. These allegations are used as a tool to divert attention from the brutalities of the regime against the Palestinians. Indeed, it is very ironic that a regime that is well …
We deeply appreciate the work of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and its prominent role in promoting the cause of Palestine. I also value the work of the Division for Palestinian Rights of the Secretariat.
Last week, on the occasion of the Internati…
Since the General Assembly’s meeting on Afghanistan in December 2018 (see A/73/PV.46), significant changes have taken place in the country — some promising and some with menacing consequences.
The holding of presidential elections in Afghanistan was indeed a success and constituted a positive first…

My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Azerbaijan this morning on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (see A/74/PV.20).

I thank the South African presidency of the Security Council for convening today’s open debate. We sincerely value South Africa’s principled positions and laudable efforts in the Council.

In fact, since we are discussing the issue of Syria, we did not intend to raise such matters in today’s meeting, but it is the representative of Saudi Arabia who took us in this direction.
It is very unfortunate that, not just in this meeting but in each and every meeting, the Saudis are trying to …
It is not surprising that, once again, the Ambassador of the child-killer regime, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has tried his best to divert the attention of the Council from the realities on the ground in Syria and the region in order to cover up its crimes against the peoples of the region, particu…
I will try to be very brief. When I exercised my first right of reply, I clearly stated my delegation’s position concerning unsubstantiated allegations and careless remarks made by the representatives of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. It seems that my points were not well taken …
