We welcome your personal participation, Mr. Minister, in today’s meeting. We highly appreciate your country’s contribution to United Nations peacekeeping efforts. We are grateful that such an important issue as strategic communications in peacekeeping has been brought before the Security Council for…
My delegation supported the adoption of resolution 2642 (2022), which was put forward by the informal penholders of the Syrian humanitarian dossier in the Security Council, namely, the delegations of Norway and Ireland. It allows the Syrian cross-border mechanism to continue working until January 20…
I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for the draft oral decision on the technical rollover of the intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform that you have proposed to the General Assembly for its seventy-seventh session. In our view, it is an adequate reflection of the content of…
We thank Special Envoy of the Secretary- General for Yemen, Hans Grundberg and Assistant Secretary-General Joyce Msuya for their briefings on
the developments in the political and humanitarian situation in Yemen.
We have to note that the political situation in the country is now in a period of sta…
I will not speak at length, because the vote we just cast on draft resolution S/2022/541 was more eloquent than any words — especially the empty, deceptive words we heard from our Western colleagues today. Those who did not support the draft resolution demonstrated their real attitude towards the n…
Our delegation voted against draft resolution S/2022/538, which would have extended the cross- border mechanism in Syria for one year. We regret that the determination of the delegations of Ireland and Norway, co-penholders on the Syrian humanitarian file at the Security Council, failed to find the …
I am somewhat surprised at the discussion that has unfolded. It seems to me that if one of us Security Council members were to speak before the Council with the authority to perform certain Council actions, then those statements should, at the very least, not run counter to the understanding of othe…
We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo, Head of the Delegation of the European Union Ambassador Skoog and the Facilitator on the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015) and Permanent Representative of Ireland Ambassador Byrne Nason for their briefings.
We note Ireland’s efforts in ensuring the s…
We thank you, Mr. President, for the practical demonstration of how an irresponsible choice of briefers representing civil society can turn a serious discussion into a low-grade talk show and farce.
We would like to thank the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, Geir Pedersen, for the …
I, too, will be brief and not take up too much of your time, Mr. President. I just wanted to note that such statements sound very convincing coming from the representative of a country that brought the world such provocations as the Skripal and Litvinenko cases, as well as many other incidents that …
Before I begin my statement, I would like to say that we are greatly concerned by the position of the Albanian presidency on the participation of President Zelenskyy in today’s meeting. No consultations were held with the members of the Council on this matter. Delegations were essentially presented …
We thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo for her comprehensive briefing on the situation in Libya in the context of the activities of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). We also listened carefully to Ms. Bushra Alhodiri.
As of today, the situation in and around Libya continues to …
We thank the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, for his report on Israel’s settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
We are concerned about the continuation, and even the escalation, of unilateral measures leading to irreversible steps in the…
We would like to thank the Secretary- General and Mr. Martin Griffiths for sharing their views. We also took note of Mr. Iyad Agha’s briefing. We would like to raise a number of points concerning the Secretary-General’s report (S/2022/492).
We are increasingly concerned about the reports of a food …
We welcome the participation in this meeting of Mr. Jean Victor Généus, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Religion of Haiti. We listened carefully to the remarks made by Mr. Arnoux Descardes. And we thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Helen La Lime for her briefing on the situation …
We thank Special Envoy of the Secretary- General Hans Grundberg, Ms. Ghada Mudawi, Acting
Director of Operations and Advocacy Division of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and Ms. Azal Al-Salafi for their briefings on the developments of the situation in Yemen.…
We are grateful to the Under-Secretary- General, Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, and the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), Mr. T.S. Tirumurti, for their briefings.
We are increasingly worried about the developments in Libya, especially in the light of rec…
We thank Mr. Martin Griffiths for sharing his insights.
It would not be overstating things to say that in the context of the issue under discussion today, we are all concerned first and foremost about the question of the future of the cross-border mechanism for delivering humanitarian assistance to…
We thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert for her briefing on the situation in Iraq. We also listened very carefully to Ms. Hanaa Edwar.
We remain concerned over the internal political situation in Iraq, which is compounded by the difficult socioeconomic si…
There are once again attempts to divert the discussion, move the focus away from the topic that we initially put forward and mix together chemical and biological weapons. Those are different things. You, Mr. President, talked about both, but we are talking about specific facts that we have uncovered…
