The Acting President
Several delegations have asked to speak in exercise of the right of reply. I would like to remind members that statements in the exercise of the right of reply are limited to 10 minutes for the first intervention and to five minutes for the second, and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mrs. Jakubonė
Lithuania wishes to exercise its right of reply in the light of the statement made by the representative of Belarus.
Each country has the right to develop nuclear power as long as its international obligations on nuclear safety are properly addressed and national decisions are taken in the context of possible transboundary implications. The newcomer countries must be especially diligent in the i…
Mr. Jo Tong Hyon
On behalf of my delegation, I would like to make some remarks additional to the statement delivered by my Ambassador this morning (see A/72/PV.46) to help clarify the lack of understanding and to educate some persons sitting in this Hall who are illiterate and ignorant as to the situation on the Korean peninsula.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea rejects resolution 72/5, based on the rep…
Mr. Lozinskiy
With regard to the speculation that we have heard concerning nuclear infrastructure in Crimea, I would like to say that the Russian position is well known. It is set out in the International Atomic Energy Agency information circular contained in document INFCIRC/876 and remains unchanged. For the Russian Federation, this question is closed.
Ms. Fedorovich
I would like to exercise my right of reply regarding the statement made earlier by the representative of Lithuania.
Belarus considers that nuclear security belongs in a factual rather than a political category. As I noted in our general statement in today’s debate (see A/72/PV.46), Belarus considers nuclear security to be a priority for our national nuclear-energy programme. Apart from our effor…
Ms. Yoon Seong-Mee
It is deeply regrettable that the representative of North Korea continues to make groundless statements impugning my country’s sovereignty. Faced with North Korea’s constant threats, the Republic of Korea will take every measure necessary to protect the security of its people and territory. However much North Korea tries to distort the facts, it will not change the fundamental nature of its nucle…
Mr. Amiya
Japan would like to exercise the right of reply in response to the comments and justifications made by the North Korean delegation. North Korea’s nuclear-missile development is a clear violation of a series of Security Council resolutions that urge it to abandon all its nuclear-weapon and ballisticmissile programmes. North Korea should refrain from any further provocations and fully comply with t…
Mr. Jo Tong Hyon
I would like to comment briefly on the qualifications of Japan. In my understanding, Japan is in no way qualified to say anything about the nuclear issue or about questions of humanity in this Hall. Japan is the only country in the world that is still trying very hard to avoid admitting to, apologizing or answering for the inhuman war crimes it committed in the past. Instead, it seeks to revive i…
Mr. Amiya
We are here to discuss the agenda item 89, “Report of the International Atomic Energy Agency”. We do not think it is appropriate to get into the discussion of history initiated by the North Korean delegation. However, let us be clear that throughout its history, Japan has upheld all the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and contributed to the peace and prosperity of not…
Ms. Yoon Seong-Mee
I thank you, Mr. President, for giving me a second opportunity to exercise the right of reply in response to the allegations of North Korea.
I just want to recall that in his speech to the General Assembly this year (A/72/PV.11), President Moon once again stressed that the Korean Government does not seek the collapse of North Korea or unification by absorption or artificial means. The Government…
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 89?
