I am honoured to deliver this statement on behalf of the Group of Arab States.
I take this opportunity to express our congratulations to Sierra Leone on assuming the presidency of the Security Council. We express our deep appreciation to you, Mr. President, for your able leadership of the deliberat…
At the outset, I wish to congratulate the Russian Federation on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of October, which it is inaugurating with this public debate of the utmost importance, dedicated to a topic of crucial significance and relevance. Likewise, I would like to t…
I shall be happy to do so. All I was doing was responding to accusations that were made against my country by my brother from Algeria, but, given that he does not wish me to address him, I will speak to Algeria.
Why is Morocco addressing Algeria and not the other representatives who have spoken her…
I am very grateful to my brother, the Ambassador of Algeria, for having read out the section of his Minister’s statement on Moroccan Sahara. Those who had not heard it or who were not in the Hall when it was delivered will now understand why my country wished to exercise its right of reply.
What di…
An exercise that I hate more than anything in this Hall is that of exercising my right of reply, in particular when it comes to a brotherly, neighbouring country. Just as one cannot change one’s neighbours, however, at the same time one cannot remain silent when one is accused of things that are not…
I would like to congratulate Slovenia on its presidency of the Security Council for this month and for organizing today’s open debate on a key issue for the United Nations and its work on peace and security. I would also like to thank the Under-Secretary-General, Jean- Pierre Lacroix, Ms. Comfort Er…
First of all, allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, on the holding of this open debate of the Security Council under your presidency. This is a further opportunity for Member States to reaffirm their full and steadfast
commitment to promoting multilateralism for the sake of an equitable, jus…
I would like to begin by thanking the President for having convened this joint annual debate dedicated to the presentation of the report of the Peacebuilding Commission on its seventeenth session (A/78/765) and the report of the Secretary-General on the Peacebuilding Fund (A/78/779). I would like to…
First of all, my colleague and co-facilitator, Ambassador Philippe Kridelka, the Permanent Representative of Belgium, and myself would like to thank the President of the General Assembly and express to him our deep gratitude for permitting us to take the floor from one seat, the seat of Morocco. The…
At the outset, allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, on organizing this very important ministerial debate under your presidency. We are grateful to you for devoting this debate to the Mediterranean, Mare nostrum, which is very dear to Morocco’s heart. It is a region that is vital to peace, se…
I would like, at the outset, to thank the President of the General Assembly for holding this meeting pursuant to resolution 76/262.
Over the past six months, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has killed tens of thousands of civilians, most of whom are women and children. It has killed almost…
First of all, allow me to express our sincere gratitude to the Japanese presidency of the Security Council for having organized this important open debate on the Security Council’s working methods. I would also like to applaud the excellent work carried out by the Informal Working Group on Documenta…
At the outset, I would like to thank the President of the General Assembly for convening this meeting pursuant to resolution 76/262.
Notwithstanding many calls for a ceasefire, Israel has continued its violent random shelling in the Gaza Strip, which claimed catastrophic human losses of tens of tho…
At the outset, I would like to thank the President for convening this meeting pursuant to resolution 76/262.
The Middle East in general, and the occupied Palestinian territories in particular, have been in unprecedented and increasingly grave circumstances on a daily basis for more than three month…
I would first like to thank the President for convening this annual debate on sport for development and peace. My thanks also go to the President of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee for introducing draft resolution A/78/L.9, entitled “Building a peaceful and better world through sport and the Oly…
I apologize for taking the floor again but find myself obliged to do so given my Algerian colleague’s predilection for engaging in polemics and responding every time I take the floor. I will try to be as brief as he was. My Algerian brother reproached me on two counts. First, I did not talk about th…
Like my Algerian colleague who just took the floor, I would like to say that it brings me no joy to take the floor to respond to him. Indeed, it has always been the tradition for Morocco never to exercise its right of reply following the statements of its sister country of Algeria, but we will respo…
At the outset I would like to congratulate you, Sir, on your
election as President of the General Assembly at its seventy-eighth session, and to wish you success during your term in office. I also commend the outstanding efforts of your predecessor, Mr. Csaba Kőrösi, during his presidency of the pr…
