We thank Ms. Lynn Hastings, the Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process, for her briefing on the situation the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.
Once again, we have to note that the fact that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues unresolved triggers frequent outbr…
We thank Assistant Secretary-General Martha Pobee for her briefing.
We are closely following the developments in Libya. The inability to reach an agreement on the draft constitution and convene nation-wide elections within the time frame set out in the road map of the Libyan Political Dialogue Foru…
At the stage of development of resolution 76/262, which provides for a General Assembly meeting to be convened in case of the exercise of the right to the veto in the Security Council, we warned the sponsors that such situations rarely imply principled disagreements among members of the Security Cou…
Mrs. Nakamitsu presented us today with yet another report, the 105th report of the Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on the implementation of resolution 2118 (2013) (see S/2022/530). It is unfortunate that, like previous reports, it is built on the s…
We would like to express our gratitude to you, Mr. Simas Magalhães, and to the entire Brazilian delegation for organizing today’s open debate. I would also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mrs. Virginia Gamba de Potgieter, Executive Director of UNICEF, Ms. Catherine…
We note that once again, it was anything but simple for Council members to arrive at an agreement on resolution 2645 (2022). In our view, the problem lies in a discrepancy between words and actions. We hear voices on all sides advocating the importance of a speedy political settlement in Haiti, with…
We welcome the personal participation of Ms. Marta Lucía Ramírez, Foreign Minister of Colombia, and Francisco José de Roux Rengifo in today’s meeting, as well as the briefing by Ms. Jineth Casso Piamba. We thank Carlos Ruiz Massieu, Head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia, for hi…
We welcome your personal participation, Mr. Minister, in today’s meeting. We highly appreciate your country’s contribution to United Nations peacekeeping efforts. We are grateful that such an important issue as strategic communications in peacekeeping has been brought before the Security Council for…
My delegation supported the adoption of resolution 2642 (2022), which was put forward by the informal penholders of the Syrian humanitarian dossier in the Security Council, namely, the delegations of Norway and Ireland. It allows the Syrian cross-border mechanism to continue working until January 20…
I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for the draft oral decision on the technical rollover of the intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform that you have proposed to the General Assembly for its seventy-seventh session. In our view, it is an adequate reflection of the content of…
At the outset, we would like to thank our colleagues from Uzbekistan for having taken the initiative to propose and agree upon resolution 76/295, adopted today, as well as for holding an international conference in 2021 entitled “Central and South Asia: regional connectivity — challenges and opportu…
We thank Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for Yemen, Hans Grundberg and Assistant Secretary-General Joyce Msuya for their briefings on
the developments in the political and humanitarian situation in Yemen.
We have to note that the political situation in the country is now in a period of sta…
I will not speak at length, because the vote we just cast on draft resolution S/2022/541 was more eloquent than any words — especially the empty, deceptive words we heard from our Western colleagues today. Those who did not support the draft resolution demonstrated their real attitude towards the n…
Our delegation voted against draft resolution S/2022/538, which would have extended the cross- border mechanism in Syria for one year. We regret that the determination of the delegations of Ireland and Norway, co-penholders on the Syrian humanitarian file at the Security Council, failed to find the …
At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Sir, and the Brazilian delegation on your assumption of the Security Council presidency. I am confident that your presidency will be productive and successful. I would also like to thank the Albanian delegation for its presidency last month.
We thank…
Russia welcomes the convening of this first- ever high-level meeting of the General Assembly on improving global road safety. We welcome the fact that the initiative introduced by our country to hold this meeting received unanimous support. We hope it will generate renewed impetus for the implementa…
We are not surprised that some delegations have used this event, which has been convened for the unification of international efforts, as a stage to politicize everything and to be destructive. We will not be dragged into a discussion on the substance and reasons of the special military operation in…
I am somewhat surprised at the discussion that has unfolded. It seems to me that if one of us Security Council members were to speak before the Council with the authority to perform certain Council actions, then those statements should, at the very least, not run counter to the understanding of othe…
We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo, Head of the Delegation of the European Union Ambassador Skoog and the Facilitator on the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015) and Permanent Representative of Ireland Ambassador Byrne Nason for their briefings.
We note Ireland’s efforts in ensuring the s…

We are also grateful to the Chef de Cabinet of your Office, Ambassador Nagaraj Naidu Kakanur, and the World Health Organization’s office at t…
