Speeches following this vote (9)
The Acting President
Before giving the floor for explanations of vote after the voting, I would like to remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Al Arsan
At the outset, I would like to stress that my delegation dissociates itself from any consensus on resolution 73/7, which has just been adopted. The Syrian Arab Republic has been and remains opposed to suspicious and unfounded attempts by the Governments of certain Member States to expand the scope of universal jurisdiction in a distorted and illegitimate
manner, as well as those who treat the co…
Mr. Musikhin
The Russian delegation is committed to the rule of law at the international level and to combating impunity.

Mr. Suárez Moreno
Today the delegation of Peru, speaking on behalf of Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay, spoke out against Venezuela without any legal basis and with the sole purpose of inflicting political damage. If today’s common objective is strengthening multilateral institutions dedicated to the administration of justice, that will not be accomplished by turning the International Criminal Court…
Mr. Islam
I am exercising the right of reply in reference to the statement made by the representative of Myanmar.
The Pre-Trial Chamber’s ruling in the International Criminal Court (ICC) confirms the jurisdiction of the Court over the forced deportation from Myanmar to Bangladesh, which is a State party to the Rome Statute. The Myanmar delegation appears to have conflated the issue of jurisdiction. We do …
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 77?
