Before giving the floor to delegations that wish to speak in explanation of vote or position, I would like to remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Ms. Galarneau
I have the honour of delivering this explanation of vote on behalf of Canada on resolution 72/129, entitled “Moderation”.

The continued occupation of the Syrian Golan and extremism are two sides of the same coin — that is, of Da’esh and extremist thinking throughout the world.
The Acting President
The Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 15.
