I thank Deputy Special Representative Milbert Shin for his briefing.
The ultimate goal of a peacekeeping mission should be to enable the conditions that obviate the need for the mission. The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) long ago helped bring about those conditions…
First, I would like to thank our co-penholder, Panama, for their constructive leadership on this resolution (resolution 2794 (2025)).

I also want to be clear that the United States is in no way against the people of Venezuela who, we believe, have the right to be represented by a legitimate Government.
The plain reality of the situation is that Nicolás Maduro is the leader of a designated narco-terrorist group, the Cartel of the …

And frankly, it is a testament to how the Council has prioritized…
