I apologize for taking the floor a second time. I just wanted to make a very general point and ask a question.
To be clear, the deployment of troops of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to help Russia carry out its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people has funda…
I thank Assistant Secretary-General Jenča for his briefing.
When Russia launched its unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin expected a quick and decisive victory. But the Kremlin underestimated the people of Ukraine and their determination, strength and courage. Despite all the suff…
I thank the representatives from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the Department of Safety and Security and Humanitarian Outcomes for their insightful briefings.
We are deeply appreciative of the United Nations and its partners’ vital humanitarian efforts around the world. H…
I thank Deputy Special Coordinator Hadi for his briefing.
The United States remains opposed to proposals to annex the West Bank or construct Israeli settlements in Gaza, which, if implemented, would be inconsistent with international law, sow the seeds of further instability and create new obstacle…
I would like to thank Deputy Special Envoy Rochdi and Director Wosornu for their briefings. I also thank Ms. Abou Zainedin for her powerful and precise presentation. Her remarks will resonate in the Chamber for some time to come. I hope that the Al-Assad regime’s puppet masters were listening carefu…
I apologize for taking the floor. I just need to respond very briefly to some comments made by the representative of the Russian Federation. Let me just say, as I have said many times, that Russia is in no position to single out any State for being responsible for the deaths and killings of civilian…
The United States deeply regrets that the Security Council finds itself here again. The United States worked for weeks in good faith to avoid this outcome. We made clear throughout the negotiations that we could not support an unconditional ceasefire that failed to release the hostages because, as t…
I apologize for taking the floor, but I need to respond to some comments that were made by the representative of the People’s Republic of China.
Let me just say very briefly that the United States will not ignore the support being given by China to Russia’s military industrial base. We will continu…
I thank the Ambassadors for their briefings and leadership in the respective Committees, which play important and complementary roles in assessing and countering terrorist threats and support for terrorism.
Let me just briefly say that I agree fully with the statement that was made by the Permanent…
The United States joined the consensus to renew the mandate of the Yemen Panel of Experts as well as the targeted arms embargo, the assets freeze and the travel-ban measures. Those sanctions remain an important tool to deter threats to the peace, stability and security of Yemen.
However, we regret …
I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Haysom for his sobering briefing. We applaud the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) for its leadership, technical assistance and protection of civilians across South Sudan. We also thank Ms. Lorna for her presentation.
We reaffirm …
I would like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Pobee for informing us about the progress that the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) has made in implementing its mandate, and for her updates on Abyei. We also thank the personnel of UNISFA, who are working actively to advance…
I will be very brief.
I greatly appreciate the offer from the representative of the Russian Federation to obtain a copy of her statement, but that really is not necessary. I heard
the statement, as did others in this room, but the one question that the statement does not address remains: whether t…
I apologize for taking the floor a second time, but I must address a few points that have been raised today.
First and foremost, for those who may not be aware, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is under sanctions by the Security Council, not the United States.
The Democratic People’s Repu…
Before beginning, I would like to congratulate you, Madam President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council. My delegation looks forward to working closely with you, Madam, as you carry out your duties. I would also like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Khiari for his briefing.

I am not going to respond to my Chinese colleague; I think that I have been very clear.
We just received some information, just coming in minutes ago, that indicates that there are now 8,000 Democratic People’s Republic of Korea soldiers in Kursk oblast. And I have a very respectful question for my…
I thank Mr. Ebo for his briefing.
After 980 days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in violation of the Charter of the United Nations, with all the death and destruction Russia has caused, Russia is today falsely trying to blame others for its war and for Putin’s obstinance. Russia started…
The United States is pleased to see the Council reaffirm its support for the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, and for the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), led by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Alexander I…

The United States welcomes the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), but we are disap…
I need to take the floor to respond to the comments made by the representative of the Kim regime. I would like to remind everyone that it is a regime that has violated multiple Security Council resolutions with regard to its nuclear and ballistic-missile programmes. That is the important point here.…
