We carefully reviewed the latest biannual reports of the President and the Prosecutor of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. The documents are voluminous and contain many pages, but the main component is still missing. There is no holistic vision of how to implement the inst…
We thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Bintou Keita, for her briefing. We listened attentively to the statement delivered by the representative of the civil society, Ms. Passy Mubalama. We welcome the participation of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Coopera…
We are grateful to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Mohamed Al Hassan for his briefing on the situation in the friendly Republic of Iraq, against the backdrop of the regional escalation of hostilities in the Middle East. We congratulate him on
his appointment to this esteeme…
The Russian Federation voted in favour of the resolution on the humanitarian carveout to the assets freeze measures in order to deliver humanitarian assistance under the sanctions regime established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999), concerning the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)/Al-Qai…
I listened with interest to your emotionally charged statement, Mr. President. I will not comment, Sir, on your inappropriate and undiplomatic characterizations of our statement. I would just like to make a few points.
First of all, you have completely misrepresented the reason for what is currentl…
We thank the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Mrs. Izumi Nakamitsu, for her briefing.
We heard nothing fundamentally new today. The Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) continues to obediently carry out Western orders to denigrate both…
You did not announce the second briefer, Mr. President, and my point of order is largely dedicated to that, but I am certain that you will do that after I deliver my statement.
Before this meeting is to begin, I wish to once again draw the attention of the Security Council members to the fact that …
“But they are children”, said the Ukrainian public with a smile when children danced on Maidan Square in 2013, chanting “Hang the Russkies high” and hurling Molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers. “Buttheyarechildren” — all one word — became a meme. In an ordinary Ukrainian village where ev…
I will be very brief. I wish to simply state that today, Mr. President, thanks to your unskilful management, we have seen a Security Council meeting on a very serious question morph into a shameful display of political buffoonery as a result of the decision to invite a completely inappropriate brief…
Your statement today, Mr. President was a glaring confirmation of the hypocritical, or rather the unsavoury, nature of the foreign policy being pursued by the outgoing United States Administration. You could not summon the courage to condemn a clear terrorist attack against civilians in Syrian citie…
We thank the Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for Syria, Mr. Geir Pedersen, for his report on the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, which is facing a terrorist attack such as we have not seen since 2022 by fighters from the Council-listed Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, formerly known as Jabhat Al…
We would like to thank the United Kingdom for presiding over the Security Council for the busy
month of November and wish the United States delegation every success as it begins its presidency of the Council this month.
We thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo for sharing her assessment o…
Before this meeting begins, I wish to draw attention to the totally inadmissible policy of the United States presidency, which, regrettably, has been abusing its powers since the very first day.
This meeting was convened at the request of the three African members of the Council and Guyana, and the…
We regret the fact that the representative of the United States continues to waste the valuable time of the Security Council with his conjecture and smearing of countries that Washington does not like. No proof has ever been provided by anyone. That has always been just the typical Anglo-Saxon “high…
The request for today’s meeting by the Kyiv regime, with the support of its Western masters, shows that the Ukrainian President, whose term has expired, has not given up tilting at North Korean windmills for the time being, but is prioritizing those efforts in his strategy of prompting NATO countrie…
We appreciate the briefings by Gilles Michaud and Lisa Doughten. We also listened attentively to the statement by the civil society representative.
Providing humanitarian assistance in a situation of armed conflict is one of the most dangerous activities. Ensuring the security of humanitarian perso…
We thank Mr. Muhannad Hadi, Deputy Special Coordinator, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his thorough briefing on the situation in the region.
The Middle East today is the best illustration of the dangers borne by long-standing unresolved regional conflic…
Before I begin my statement, I would like to express my deep regret that the British presidency, in the vein of the neocolonialism that prevails in London, sought to deliberately politicize our debate. This a genuine provocation. They invited a briefer who is driven solely by complexes, phantom pain…
I will be brief. I want to ask the representative of the United States a rhetorical question — he does not have to answer it. Does he have any other narrative other than the one he has delivered today? When we listen to what he is saying, we get the impression that we are watching the movie Groundho…
We thank Guyana and the other elected members of the Council for the courage they have demonstrated and their efforts in promoting the draft resolution that was put to the vote today (S/2024/835). We supported the document, and we commend those responsible members of the Council who, like us, unders…
