I thank you for giving me the floor again, Sir. I have no choice but to respond to the falsehoods and inventions presented by the representative of Israel. In reality, the representative of the Israeli occupying

In the statement I made earlier, I did not focus on certain technical aspects of some the Council’s counter- terrorism Sanctions Committees.

I did not wish to take the floor at this late hour. However, the lies and allegations submitted by the representative of the Israeli occupation authorities deserve a reply, albeit a very brief one. Israel, whose representative boasted of its human rights record, is the last State — and I reaffirm an…
We apologize yet again for taking the floor. We are saddened that the representative of Qatar mentions resolutions of the General Assembly and the Human

I apologize for taking the floor a second time. Once again, let me say that my delegation has repeatedly warned of the danger of being diverted from the substance of the item under consideration, the fundamental objective of which is the self-determination of Palestine and not the situation in neigh…
I would like to congratulate Mr. Ashe, the President of the General Assembly, and his friendly country, Antigua and Barbuda, on his election as President at the sixty-eighth session of the General Assembly.

I apologize for taking the floor once again. I simply wanted to respond to what the representative of the Israeli occupation said.
In fact, the instability and the emergence of wars in the Middle East region is a direct consequence of the aggressive policy of Israel. Everyone knows that Israeli agg…
I would like to thank you, Madam President, for organizing this important meeting. The protection of civilians from the effects of war is at the heart of international law.

My delegation would like to explain its vote on draft resolution IV, entitled “Situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic”.
Allow me, at the outset, to recall that the international legal framework within which Member States operate is based on the principle of non-interference in the in…
I should like to deliver this statement before the voting on draft resolution I, entitled “United Nations Human Rights Training and Documentation Centre for South-West Asia and the Arab Region”, as contained in document A/67/457/Add.2.
