We are grateful to the former and current Chairs of the Peacebuilding Commission, Mr. Ivan Šimonović, Permanent Representative of Croatia, and Mr. Sérgio França Danese, Permanent Representative of Brazil. We thank them for their informative briefings and their vigorous efforts deployed at the helm o…
I would like to thank the delegations of Belgium and Morocco for drafting resolution 78/318, entitled “Modalities of the ‘World Social Summit’ under the title ‘the Second World Summit for Social Development’”. We are grateful for their efforts to come up with mutually acceptable solutions and compro…
Allow me to congratulate everyone here on the adoption of the outcome of the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for Small Island Developing States by the General Assembly.
First of all, I would like to thank both the people and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda for their hospitality, which our delegati…
We have noted the outcome of the voting, and we would like to request clarification from the Secretariat as to whether the decision can be considered as having been adopted if most Member States are not present and voting. We have noticed that the number of present and voting Member States is only 7…
Russia has requested a vote on the draft amendment (A/78/L.91) proposed by the United States, pursuant to which all non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to whose participation various Member States had objected previously will now be able to participate in the Summit of the Future. Our country supp…
When many of the Member States, having received an invitation to the pseudo-peace and pseudo- global get-together in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, in June, asked us for our opinion on that venture, we urged our colleagues not to harbour any illusions about the true intentions of its organizers. Those in…
Once again we have been forced to hear lies about the so-called intentional air strike by Russia on the children’s hospital. We believe that it is cynical to speculate with regard to the death of children, which did not actually take place. The Russian Federation takes very seriously the prevention …
We listened very carefully to the statement by the representative of Hungary. We understand the logic behind his statement. The only thing that we do not understand is why we are being accused of depriving the European Union (EU) of its participation or discriminating against the EU. That is categor…
We would like to submit an amendment to draft decision A/78/L.77, on the list of speakers.
First and foremost, we would like to thank you, Mr. President, for introducing this decision. In our view, its provisions do not raise any questions, and they strike very important balance. We do have issue w…
We align ourselves with the statement made on behalf of the Group of Friends in Defence of the
Charter of the United Nations (see A/78/PV.96) and, in our national capacity, we consider it important to note the following.
Our delegation does not support holding annual debates on the topic of the re…
Sport is one of the most important achievements of human civilization and the universal language of human communication. It plays a vital role in the lives of millions of people. It not only promotes physical development, but also provides opportunities for self-
realization, overturning prejudices…
I have taken the floor to say only that I will not waste my time nor the precious time of the Security Council to reply to the remarks made by my colleague from the United States.
The goal of the group of countries that requested today’s meeting is crystal clear: they are once again trying to use the Security Council to spin anti-Russian and anti-North Korean narratives and disseminate unfounded allegations to divert attention from their own destructive actions, which are fue…
For the record, we would like to register our principled disagreement with the decision of the presidency to invite the representatives of Ukraine and the European Union to this meeting. It is clear that those participants have nothing to do with the regional issue proposed for discussion under the …
We thank Special Representative Valentina Rugwabiza for her briefing. We welcome the participation in today’s meeting of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic, Ms. Sylvie Valérie Baipo Temon.
At present, it is safe to say that the most complicated phase of the fight again…
The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on the resolution on the situation in the Red Sea prepared by our Japanese and American colleagues (resolution 2739 (2024)).
The technical nature of the text does not negate the fact that it is a logical continuation of the “original” Security Council …
The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on resolution 2740 (2024) recording the results of the fifth review of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, even though it played an active role in negotiations on the text. That is primarily due to the continuing delay in the ac…
We would like to comment on the unfounded accusations about the Russian Federation that we have heard today from some of our partners in the Security Council, including regarding the “abduction” of Ukrainian children. But first and foremost, we want to express our shock at the fact that the United S…
We thank the briefers for their contribution to the discussion.
Children are one of the most vulnerable categories of a population during conflict. Twenty-five years have elapsed since the adoption of resolution 1261 (1999), which created the Security Council’s toolkit for preventing and ending vio…
We thank the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Tor Wennesland, for the detailed briefing on the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River.
For nine months now, Israel’s operation in Gaza has been ongoing.…
