I will be brief. We have always called and continue to call for the adoption by consensus of humanitarian resolutions in the General Assembly, and this year is no exception.
However, given our country’s position vis-à-vis the International Criminal Court (ICC), which we stated earlier (see A/78/PV.…
I think it would be no exaggeration to say that this day is one of the darkest in the history of the Middle East.

Before I begin my statement, I would like to reiterate our fundamental disagreement with the excessive number of delegations invited to today’s meeting under rules 37 and 39. We believe the best and
most logical approach would have been to allow two of them, Ukraine and the European Union (EU), as …

We welcome the lifting of the arms embargo on that country. Russia ha…
