Mexico abstained in the voting on resolution 78/316, given a number of elements in the text, including political issues and what really should be the essence of the draft resolution, namely the safety and security of the nuclear facility in Zaporizhzhya. The position of my country will remain consis…
I have the great honour to speak on behalf of France and Mexico.

I find it regrettable that the General Assembly is holding the present debate as a result of the use of the veto in the Security Council meeting on the subject of non-proliferation and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (see S/PV.9591). Even more worrisome is the frequent use of the veto in t…
In just the first quarter of this year, four vetoes have been recorded in the Security Council. If that trend continues, by the end of 2024, that number could reach levels we have not seen in decades.
Mexico deplores this situation, which paralyses the United Nations in the face of particularly ser…
Mexico joins the consensus today and appreciates the efforts of the Permanent Representatives of Malta and Barbados as co-facilitators in this process. We also highlight their important work and commitment up to hours before this adoption in order to achieve consensus on the modalities text. However…
Just for the record, Mexico asked for the floor during the consideration of agenda item 13, and we were not given the floor.
