As is well known, elements of the concept of the responsibility to protect are reflected in paragraphs 138 and 139 of the outcome document of the 2005 World Summit, which was adopted by consensus.

The main outline of the responsibility to protect was initially reflected in the 2005 World Summit outcome document (resolution 60/1). As we all know very well, that document was adopted by consensus. Thereafter, States conducted an informal interactive dialogue in which they had a comprehensive dis…
The General Assembly has yet again become
hostage to destructive approaches. This platform for dialogue is being used by the Ukrainian delegation and its patrons in order to put forward an artificially created agenda that has nothing to do with reality and even less with trying to find solutions fo…
The Russian Federation welcomes the adoption of resolution 74/304, on the interaction

Our delegation agrees on the importance of consensus in the General Assembly. It was only having understood that consensus would be impossible that we took these steps.

We would first of all like to note that the signing of the Interim Constitutional Declaration has been an important step on the path to stabilizing the situation in the Sudan over the long term.
