The Acting President
It is a great pleasure for me to thank His Excellency Prime Minister Mori Yoshiro, President of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, for his presence and for introducing resolution 74/16. It has been a great honour for us to listen to his presentation of the resolution. I wish the Prime Minister a safe trip home.

Mr. Mamdouhi
As usual, today the representative of the Israeli regime made unfounded claims that are contrary to the situation on the ground. These allegations are used as a tool to divert attention from the brutalities of the regime against the Palestinians. Indeed, it is very ironic that a regime that is well known for its atrocities and apartheid policies, which are well documented by the various United Na…

Before giving the floor for explanations of vote or position before the voting, I would like to remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes.
Mr. Polyanskiy
The draft resolutions that the General Assembly adopts generally fall into three groups. The first group is consensus draft resolutions. Work is done on them, positions are agreed on and Member States often reach difficult compromises, because they understand the power of the message that such collective decisions send. Fortunately, that is how a majority are adopted.
The second is draft resolut…
Mr. Al Arsan

Mr. Gafoor
As a small country, Singapore is deeply committed to multilateralism and respect for international law. Singapore affirms the principles of respect for territorial integrity and non-interference in the domestic affairs of a sovereign State, and respect for sovereignty and the rule of law. Singapore opposes the annexation of any
country or territory, since that is a clear violation of internation…
Mr. Tozik
The Republic of Belarus supports reaching peace and agreement in Ukraine. We are certainly not indifferent to the fate of the neighbours who are our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, and resolving the conflict there is crucial. Compliance by the parties with the Minsk agreements remains the only appropriate basis for resolving the crisis. We intend to continue to do everything in our power to help…
Mr. Mamdouhi
My delegation wishes to speak in explanation of vote to reiterate its position on the Russian and Ukrainian dispute. We are of the view that the parties concerned should pursue the peaceful resolution of disputes through direct political dialogue in furthering efforts to achieve a workable solution to the issue, on which agreements were reached in Minsk in 2015 and endorsed by the Security Counci…
Mr. Koba
On many previous occasions, Indonesia has reaffirmed its basic principle of respecting and supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. For us, respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States is the fundamental principle governing relations among nations. Indonesia is therefore against any action involving the annexa…
