We would like to thank the delegation of South Africa for coordinating the negotiation process on resolution 78/280, on the close relationship between global health and foreign policy, which is very important to our delegation. We commend its work, and we join with the consensus.
We are in favour o…
We thank the President of the General Assembly for convening today’s meeting on promoting a culture of peace. The Russian Federation firmly believes in the enduring importance of a unifying agenda at a time when the global community is facing emerging challenges and is constantly searching for renew…
Almost two weeks ago, on 18 April, we saw the United States again used its veto power to block Palestine’s application for United Nations membership. (see S/PV9609.) Left almost completely isolated, the American colleagues said they vetoed the Algerian draft resolution (S/2024/312) because they did …
We listened carefully to the statements delivered by our Security Council colleagues and have come to the
disappointing conclusion that our Western colleagues, first and foremost, the Western permanent members of the Council, unfortunately, have absolutely no interest in the stabilization around Bo…
We thank Assistant Secretary-General Jenča for his briefing, and we welcome the participation in today’s meeting of Ms. Željka Cvijanović, the Republika Srpska member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Mr. Marko Djurić, the Special Envoy of the President of Serbia.
Russia requested to…
Russia abstained in the voting on the United States-proposed Security Council resolution on renewing the mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) (resolution 2729 (2024)).
We have consistently supported the work of UNMISS and its Head, Mr. Nicholas Haysom. We believe that the M…
We listened to the response of our colleague from the United Kingdom. He spoke about consistency. I would like to remind him that Nord Stream is a piece of international gas transit infrastructure, to which the provisions of the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings appl…
The narrative of our Western partners and the statements that we heard today did not surprise us. To be frank, we did not expect anything less from them. But I would like to draw attention to the fact that many of them linked the conflict and the developments in Ukraine to the damage to the Nord Str…
We thank Assistant Secretary-General Jenča and Ms. Niyazberdiyeva for their briefings. We are grateful to Mr. Larry Johnson, the American political commentator, for his substantive statement.
Mr. Johnson, who has extensive experience in the area of counter-terrorism, including working for United St…
We would like to thank Special Envoy Pedersen, Director of Coordination Rajasingham of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and Ms. Hayford for their briefings.
It has not been possible for the situation in Syria to improve for several years now. As we all know, our Wester…
Unfortunately, the Security Council has today failed to adopt a balanced decision in favour of
preserving space exclusively for peaceful purposes. That was the aim of the draft amendment proposed by Russia and China (S/2024/323), which was not adopted.
It is telling that neither during today’s mee…
We thank Special Envoy Huang Xia and Assistant Secretary-General Joyce Msuya for their briefings. We listened attentively to the statement delivered by Ms. Pétronille Vawek, the civil society representative. We welcome the participation in today’s meeting of Ms. Esmeralda Mendonça, Secretary of Stat…
We would like to thank Ms. Sigrid Kaag, the Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, for her briefing and her efforts to find ways to enhance the delivery of humanitarian relief to Gaza in accordance with resolution 2720 (2023). As the Council is aware, we abstained in the voting…
Today the Security Council is once again involved in a rogue show staged by the United States and confronted with cynical forgery and deception, this time promoted by the American and Japanese authors of the draft resolution that is being put to the vote (S/2024/302). At first glance, it looks harml…
It would seem that our discussion today was very useful in helping us to determine exactly what method is unfortunately being used at the United Nations to politicize this important topic and present it through a distorting mirror.
Throughout the discussion, we heard the United States and the Unite…
Two years ago, the General Assembly adopted resolution 76/262 on the consideration of the cases of veto in the Security Council. It can be stated that during this time the resolution has not been able to prove its added value. That is not surprising, because it was conceived primarily as a vehicle …
We listened to today’s briefers. We believe that linking the topic of preventing conflict-related sexual violence to demilitarization and arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation, under the agenda item of women and peace and security agenda, is artificial and diverts attention from truly impo…
We would like to thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Salvador for her briefing about the situation in Haiti. We are grateful to the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Ms. Waly, and to Executive Director Catherine Russell. We welcome the Mini…
We would like to thank Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Ms. Edem Wosornu, Director of Operations of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and Mr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas, High Representative of the African Union, for their briefing…
We are disappointed that the Chairperson-in- Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade of Malta, Mr. Borg, instead of implementing the direct mandate that was entrusted to him by the organization’s 57 participati…
