Many of the speakers who have preceded me have expressed the thought that our shared planet is undergoing irreversible change. A new world order is being born before our eyes.

We thank Mr. Miroslav Jenča, Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs, for his briefing on the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh. We note the participation in the meeting of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
On 19 September, there was a sharp escalation of the mi…
The existing international order was built on the ruins, and following the colossal tragedy, of the Second World War. Its foundation was the Charter of the United Nations, the cornerstone of modern international law. Thanks mostly to the United Nations, a subsequent world war that could have ended i…
I addressed you only in your capacity as the President of the Security Council, and never as the Prime Minister of Albania. I stress once again that I am in a procedural dialogue with you, and not a substantive dialogue. Please refrain from making political assessments at the beginning of your state…
I wish to draw your attention, Mr. President, to the fact that you are today acting as President of the Security Council, not speaking in your national capacity as the representative of Albania. Your objective is to conduct a meeting as set out in the Security Council’s rules of procedure, instead o…
With pleasure, Mr. President. We do not believe the arguments that you have advanced are compelling. A number of members of the Security Council will be represented in the Chamber today at the Head of State level. You tried to explain why the Ukrainian President has been prioritized. However, that h…
You were hasty, Mr. President, in saying “it is so decided”. We have two questions.
First and foremost, we wish to ask you on what basis you propose to give the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the floor before the members of the Security Council speak, many of whom are also represented a…

First of all, I would like to say that today we have not heard anything new in response to our specific ideas regarding the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, which does not align at all international obligations, as you just said, Madam President. We have already spoken about the many and repeat…
We convened today’s meeting primarily to discuss once again the significance for the prospects for resolving the Ukrainian crisis of the country’s Western sponsors’ unfettered supply of various types of weapons to their underlings in Kyiv. Our briefer, Mr. George Szamuely, has just reminded us very …
I would like to begin my statement by expressing my condolences to the Government and the people of Mali on the terrorist attacks of 7 September, which killed 49 civilians and 15 military personnel. That tragedy is a clear reminder of how important it is for the international community to bridge its…
We regret that the Albanian presidency has followed in the disastrous footsteps of its Western colleagues and has used rule 37 to invite the representatives of five States — Czechia, Estonia, Italy, Poland and Ukraine — together with the representative of the European Union (EU), which makes six del…
Russia distances itself from the consensus on the report of the General Committee (A/78/250) regarding the recommendation to include in the agenda of the General Assembly item 63, entitled “The situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine” — adopted by the Committee in a vote, by a m…

We congratulate you, Mr. President, on the beginning of your country’s presidency of the Council
for the month of September. We hope that its working methods will not disappoint you — and vice versa. We thank you for your briefing, your leadership of the work of the Informal Working Group on Docume…
We would like to thank Kazakhstan for introducing resolution 77/338 and express our regret that a vote on it was requested, despite the fact that our delegation is trying to not politicize a whole host of resolutions on cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, independently…
