The President
Before giving the floor to those wishing to speak in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted, I would like to remind delegations that explanations of position are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Ms. Argüello González
The International Criminal Court was founded with the aim of judging crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and to ensure that justice for such crimes would prevail. However, that goal has been undermined by those who want to see their interests prevail over the safeguarding of national sovereignty and the principles of non-interference and non-intervention. Nicaragua rejects …

Mr. Aldahhak
The delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic is convinced of the importance of justice. It is for that reason alone that we were among the countries that actively contributed to negotiations on the Rome Statute, which led to the establishment of the International Criminal Court. My country was also among the first signatories to the Rome Statute. Our perspective has always been based on the importa…

Mr. Horna
As a sponsor of resolution 70/264, adopted by consensus today, I wish to reaffirm Peru’s commitment to the work undertaken by the International Criminal Court, which we consider to be the institution in the best position to prevent the most serious crimes from going unpunished.

Mr. Tsymbaliuk
Ukraine co-sponsored resolution 70/264, on the work of the International Criminal Court (ICC), whose establishment we consider to be one of the most important human rights achievements in the past century. The ICC is the inarguable cornerstone of the international justice system, with its provisions that state that there can be no impunity for genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes.
Ukr…
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker on this item.
I give the floor to the representative of the Russian Federation, who wishes to speak in exercise of the right of reply.
Mr. Zagaynov
I will be brief. I wish to respond to the statement made by the Ukrainian delegation, which again included a host of anti-Russian insinuations that have nothing to do with the actual situation. We repudiate them as unjustified and irrelevant to the subject of today’s meeting. However, since the Ukrainian representative mentioned the declaration that was made by his country in 2015, I should like …
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 78?
