Ms. Juul
I am delivering this statement on behalf of Ireland and Norway.
As co-penholders, Norway and Ireland welcome the Council’s adoption of resolution 2642 (2022), renewing the authorization for the cross-border humanitarian aid operation into Syria. Throughout this negotiation, Norway and Ireland engaged carefully and constructively with all Council members. Our objective has always been clear — hum…
Mr. Raguttahalli
India welcomes the adoption of resolution 2642 (2022), extending the authorization of humanitarian assistance to Syria through the Bab Al-Hawa crossing. Today’s adoption will reassure nearly 4 million people in the north-west of Syria — 2.7 million of whom are internally displaced persons, many of them women and children. At the same time, we should not lose sight of the fact that more than 14.5 …
Mr. De Rivière
The renewal of the cross-border humanitarian aid mechanism is a relief because this remains a vital tool for millions of Syrians.
I commend the efforts of Ireland and Norway to reach a compromise. But France is not satisfied with this precarious renewal for just six months, which will expire in the depths of winter at the very moment when aid is the most indispensable, without any firm guarantee…
Mr. Dai Bing
China welcomes the Security Council’s adoption of resolution 2642 (2022) renewing the authorization for humanitarian assistance in Syria. We thank Ireland and Norway, as well as Russia and other Council members, for their active efforts over the past few days to promote the final outcome through intensive communication. The facts have shown that it is normal for members of the Council to have dif…
Mr. Hoxha
I would like first to express my delegation’s appreciation for the outstanding work done by the co-penholders, Ireland and Norway, as well as the active engagement of Kenya as the coordinator of the 10 elected members of the Security Council (E-10), in order to streamline this process.
Albania voted in favour of resolution 2642 (2022) today. We did so with a sense of deep responsibility, but als…
Mrs. Nusseibeh
At the outset, the United Arab Emirates aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Kenya on behalf of the 10 elected members of the Security Council.
My country welcomes today’s adoption of resolution 2642 (2022) to extend the cross-border aid mechanism in Syria, and we are pleased that a compromise has been reached that reflects the Council’s commitment to responding to…
Mr. Polyanskiy
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 2023.
We note that some dissatisfaction has been expressed by some of our colleagues concerning the …
Mr. Mills
I, too, want to thank the penholders for leading a process with integrity and an unquestionable commitment to meeting the needs of the most vulnerable Syrian people.
The vote we took this morning is what happens when one Council member takes the entire Security Council hostage, with the lives of Syrian men, women and children hanging in the balance.
Right now the humanitarian needs in Syria are…
The President
I now give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.
Mr. Sabbagh
The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic has stressed time and again that it has primary responsibility for all matters concerning the Syrian people. In the past few years we have repeatedly expressed our commitment to ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches all Syrians all over the country without discrimination or exclusion. In extremely challenging times, my Government has succeeded in…
