We are grateful to the Special R…

I am honoured to deliver the following remarks on behalf of Belarus, China, Cuba, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Nicaragua, Russia, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Our delegations wish to make an explanation of position regarding resolution 75/291, on the seventh review of the Global Counter-Terrorism…
I agree with you, Mr. President. I also have no desire to continue this discussion. I just want to point out the fact that we are in an open meeting and that the parties concerned will be able to watch it. I therefore do not believe that it is up to me to determine the extent of the Minister’s autho…
I would like to ask how I am supposed to interpret what Minister Turković just said. Therefore, in order to speak on behalf of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
just as within the Steering Board, consensus is not necessary and a majority is sufficient? Is my understanding correct?
I will gladly answer Minister Turković’s question. I can assure her that I am fully authorized to speak on behalf of the Russian Government. I have been authorized by the President of the country, Mr. Vladimir Putin. I have submitted my credentials to the Secretary- General. She can be absolutely ce…
We would like to put a question to Minister Turković. I hope she will not take the question personally, but it is a matter on which we require some clarification.
The question is as follows: Does the statement that she made today reflect the position of all of constituent entities of Bosnia and Her…
We thank Mr. Hervé Lecoq for today’s briefing. We welcome the participation in this meeting of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ms. Bisera Turković.
We have gathered here at our initiative in order to discuss the letter circulated in the Security Council stating that on 2…
We are grateful to Mr. Geir Pedersen, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, and Ms. Abeer Hussain for their briefings.
In spite of the overall stabilization of the military and political situation, the situation remains tense in Syria. Indeed, 60 per cent of the population is facing…
We thank Special Coordinator Tor Wennesland for his briefing.
In the context of the information provided by the Special Coordinator on the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016), we express our concern about the continuing illegal settlement activity, which is one
of the main obstacles to achiev…
I will perhaps forfeit the second question, but I will give a small clarification of the first one. The question was also how CARE’s assistance technically moves into Idlib and who its partners are on the ground there in Idlib where it delivers its assistance.
While we are waiting, I will perhaps repeat the questions that Mr. Rajasingham missed. The second and third questions were: In his opinion, what is needed to unblock cross-line deliveries to Idlib, and how should that process be done so that such aid is delivered cross-line? Where are the problems? …
I would like to make it clear that I will be unable to facilitate the President’s request. In any event, it is more a recommendation than a request, according to note S/2017/507 by the President of the Security Council, to speak for no longer than five minutes when taking the floor in the Security C…
We have taken note of the statements of the speakers at today’s meeting.
We welcome the participation in today’s meeting of the President of Angola, Mr. João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, as well as the representative of the Republic of the Congo, who read out a statement by the President of the Econo…
We regret the fact that you, Mr. President, are forced to conduct another meeting on an issue that should have been resolved a week ago. It is a miracle that the efforts of the Permanent Representative of Qatar, Ms. Al-Thani, helped us thwart the plans of some groups in the General Assembly to make …
We thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Nicholas Haysom for his briefing on the developments in the situation in South Sudan. We welcome Mr. Haysom in his first briefing to the Council. We sincerely wish him every success at the head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNM…

The situation on the island is a source of growing concern. The security …
I would first like to thank you, Mr. President, for the text of the draft oral decision on the rollover of the issue of Security Council reform to the seventy- sixth session of the General Assembly. We also thank you for your leadership in the process. We believe that the accusations about you that …
