We have familiarized ourselves with yet another report by the so-called Office of the Prosecutor of the so-called International Criminal Court (ICC) on the situation in Darfur. Despite the shouting about progress, what we see before us is yet another document that has nothing to do with real justice…
Since the end of December, the entire world has been watching as the United States continues to escalate tensions and fuel hysteria around Iran, declaring that help is already on the way.

The situation in the waters adjacent to Yemen has shown clear signs of stabilization in recent months. There have been no incidents observed in the Red Sea since 29 September 2025, which confirms that the attacks in the Red Sea are linked to the situation in Gaza.

The draft resolution submitted by our Greek and United States colleagues on the technical extension of the reporting requirement for the Secretary-General on attacks on merchant and commercial vessels in the Red Sea (S/2026/23) has no added value.

I will be very brief, replying to what has been just said by the representative of France. I said it in my statement when I spoke, and I would like to repeat it. France failed miserably in its so-called diplomatic efforts to strike a deal on the nuclear issue with Iran, and it knows it.
Once again, Mr. President, we would like to express our regret that you did not summon the courage to approach your obligations impartially or refuse to act at the behest of those who insisted on holding this Security Council meeting on a non-existent agenda item. We categorically reject and condemn…
