We are forced to comment on the statement made by the representative of the Ukrainian delegation, who has once again confused the General Assembly Hall with the Peace Palace in The Hague by deciding to make comments under this agenda item. This item is meant to consider the work of the Court over th…
Our delegation does not support the technical rollover of the text of resolution 75/3 on the report (A/75/324) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and dissociates itself from consensus.
The frozen state of the text for yet another year does not reflect the woeful situation within and around t…

I have the honour of introducing the video message of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Mr. Sergey Lavrov, on behalf of the States members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations.
As is well known, elements of the concept of the responsibility to protect are reflected in paragraphs 138 and 139 of the outcome document of the 2005 World Summit, which was adopted by consensus.
Three years ago, a group of States decided to break the consensus. Today, instead of engaging in produ…
I wish to reaffirm the position of the Russian Federation vis-à-vis item 66 of the draft agenda, entitled “The situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine”.

The main outline of the responsibility to protect was initially reflected in the 2005 World Summit outcome document (resolution 60/1). As we all know very well, that document was adopted by consensus. Thereafter, States conducted an informal interactive dialogue in which they had a comprehensive dis…
The General Assembly has yet again become
hostage to destructive approaches. This platform for dialogue is being used by the Ukrainian delegation and its patrons in order to put forward an artificially created agenda that has nothing to do with reality and even less with trying to find solutions fo…
The Russian Federation welcomes the adoption of resolution 74/304, on the interaction
