The Acting President
Before giving the floor to the speaker in explanation of position, may I remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Rahamtalla
The Sudan reiterates its clear and firm position on rejecting the so-called International Criminal Court (ICC), as it continues to serve as a forum for politicizing international justice and targeting African leaders. Since its establishment, the Court has maintained its antagonistic position vis-à-vis the African States.
The Sudan is not party to the Rome Statute. Hence, we are not bound by its…

At the outset, allow me to thank the representative of the Netherlands as the facilitator of resolution 68/305.
Argentina not only supported the adoption of the resolution but also co-sponsored it. It did so due to its firm support for the International Criminal Court (ICC). My country values the fact that the resolution was adopted by consensus because the relationship between the International…
Mr. Mendoza-García
My delegation wishes to endorse the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Liechtenstein on behalf of a group of States parties. We should like to make some additional comments in our national capacity.

Mr. Kőrösi
My country welcomes the adoption of resolution 68/305, on the report of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Hungary co-sponsored the resolution, deeming it important that the United Nations membership regularly examine its relationship with the International Criminal Court in a forward-looking manner. Hungary is one of the countries that envisage even stronger resolutions that flesh out the r…
Mr. Luna
Brazil joined in the consensus adoption of resolution 68/305, on the report of the International Criminal Court (ICC). We sponsored annual resolutions on the ICC report until the sixtysixth session of the General Assembly, demonstrating our unwavering support for the idea that the Court has a pivotal role to play in the fight against impunity. Precisely for that reason, we consider that the best …
Mr. Adi
Having listened to the statements made in this debate, I am compelled to take the floor.
The representatives of Costa Rica and Hungary tried to include the situation in my country, Syria, in the negotiations on today’s item. That imposition is part of an attempt to reshuffle the roles played by certain countries. This would seem to be a tradition. We are familiar with seeing the redistribution o…
The Acting President
The Assembly has thus concluded its consideration of agenda item 75.
