At the outset, Egypt aligns itself with the statements delivered by the representatives of Azerbaijan on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, Jordan on behalf of the Group of Arab States and Mauritania on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (see A/78/PV.27).

Egypt has the pleasure of introducing some amendments to the draft resolution in A/58/L.11.
(spoke in English)
Revise preambular paragraph 2 to read as follows:
“Welcoming the ratification of the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and the Natural Heritage by 176 States parties, a…
My delegation joined others in the informal consultations leading to the current formulation of draft resolution A/56/L.82. We were keen to attend as many meetings as possible since the process began, because we attach great importance to the issue of disability and the rights of people living with …
I am sorry to prolong a discussion that seems fruitless.
Peace is not an expression of meaningless words, treaties to be signed and retracted the following day, ceremonial pictures to be taken or toasts to be exchanged. Rather, peace is the interpretation and the implementation of honest goodwill, …
I thank the Israeli representative for his concern for democracy in Egyptian society, but what takes place in Egyptian society is an internal matter and is not the business of any delegation just as what takes place in Israeli society is an internal matter. What concerns us here are the violent Isra…
I would like at the outset to express our appreciation for the report of the Secretary-General on the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, containing details of the engagement of Member States, the United Nations system and civil society during …
Because a headcount is of course unheard of, may I ask the representative of Canada, through the Acting President, if it would be by hand or by call. If, for example, the President calls on Egypt, and we are present, and neither I nor my colleagues say we are present and we just maintain silence, do…
I think it is unheard of to have a headcount. If a delegation is present in the Hall and does not wish to press the button, it means that that delegation does not want its presence to be acknowledged. It is up to a representative whether or not to push the button. If I do not push the button, it mea…
Guided by rule 67 of the rules of procedure of the General Assembly, I humbly appeal to the Acting President to check whether we have a quorum sufficient for the Assembly to take any action.
I am sorry I have to draw your attention to rule 71 of the rules of procedure, which states, “A representative rising to a point of order may not speak on the substance of the matter under discussion.” We have just heard a discussion of the substance.
I still believe that we have just approved the list. We approved one list, and the second, and we approved the addendum for this list. So I think that we have just approved the list.
I am sorry to be prolonging this, but I still need a clarification as to why this reference to the document has appeared in the Journal, why the Journal is making a clear reference to a certain document. Usually, when we see a reference to a document, it means that we are invited to consider this do…
Yes, you are right, Sir, but the item continues. It says: “HIV/AIDS/CRP.2/Add.2”. This is what we just adopted. Clearly, it says that we are discussing that which we just adopted. So what comes next?
We came here guided by today’s Journal, which is telling us that there are two items on the agenda. The first of these items has already been adopted; the second one has also been adopted. So what is the procedure now? What are we discussing? And how can we discuss something that is not in the agend…
I would like to explain briefly Egypt’s vote on the amendment to draft resolution A/55/L.69.
After carefully considering the draft resolution before us today, the delegation of Egypt decided to abide by the recommendations of the coordinator of the item, especially since these recommendations coin…
