I thank the delegations of Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom for their efforts in pushing forward draft resolution S/2024/826.
It is shocking that Russia has vetoed an effort to save lives — though perhaps it should not be. It claims it is because of Sudanese sovereignty, but the Sudan supports t…
