The Acting President
Before giving the floor to speakers in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted, may I remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Kulhánek
I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU) and its member States. The candidate countries North Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova; the country of the Stabilization and Association Process and potential candidate Bosnia and Herzegovina; and the European Free Trade Association countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, members of the European…
Mr. Alateek
At the outset, it is an honour for me to deliver this statement on behalf of the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council — the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and my own country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council express their sincere thanks and gratitude to the delegations of …
Mr. Jiménez
Our delegation attaches great importance to the item under consideration.
Nicaragua recognizes and promotes women’s leadership and participation as a key priority policy of our Government in its national plan to combat poverty and advance human development. That is demonstrated in the Global Gender Gap Report 2022 of the World Economic Forum, which ranks Nicaragua seventh in the world, and first…
Mr. Lim
Indonesia fully supports the initiative to discuss international cooperation on access to justice for survivors of sexual violence, an issue that is very important to all States Members of the United Nations. That initiative presented a potential opportunity for the United Nations to have a meaningful impact in addressing the needs on the ground.
Indonesia’s steadfast commitment in pursuing the …
Ms. Navarrete
The Philippines joins the consensus on resolution 76/304 and recognizes the importance of ensuring access to justice, remedies and assistance for survivors of sexual violence. In joining the consensus today, we wish to clarify our position on some provisions of the resolution.
The Philippines dissociates itself from the ninth and tenth preambular paragraphs of resolution 76/304 and all other par…
Mr. Vorobiev
Sexual violence is one of the most egregious crimes. The Russian Federation condemns all forms and manifestations of sexual violence and coercion and adheres to a policy of zero tolerance for such crimes.
In recent years, the United Nations has stepped up its efforts to combat sexual crimes in armed conflict and has produced an impressive range of documents on the subject. At the same time, crim…
Mr. Al-shaikhli
The plight of sexual violence in conflict is in every corner. Some Iraqi women and girls fell victim to the heinous crimes of terrorist groups such as Da’esh/the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham (ISIS) and continue to face their implications.
Iraq adopted a milestone reparations bill, which is an essential step towards justice for Iraqis who suffered atrocities committed by Da’esh/ISIS. The Ya…
Mr. González Behmaras
My delegation, which supported resolution 76/304, dissociates itself from the references to the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court in the ninth and tenth preambular paragraphs.
The promotion of international cooperation in order to guarantee greater and more robust access to justice for victims of sexual violence is a noble cause that we share. However, my delegation cannot align …
Mrs. Ndiaye
My delegation wishes to thank Sierra Leone and Japan for the work they have accomplished during the negotiations process on this important resolution (resolution 76/304), which is directly in line with our shared struggle for the liberation of women and the establishment of a world without sexual violence.
Senegal is firmly committed to the fight against sexual violence, as is attested to by a n…
Mr. Wang Zixu
China has pointed out many times that there is no internationally agreed, commonly recognized or legally based definition for the term “human rights defenders”. Each country has its own view on who those people are. As such, China opposes the inclusion in resolution 76/304 of a concept on which there is no consensus at the United Nations. That is a common concern for many countries. China therefo…
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of vote or position. We shall hear the remaining speakers in explanation of vote or position after the voting on Wednesday, 7 September, after the consideration of agenda item 100.
The exercise of right of reply has been requested. May I remind members that statements in the exercise of the right of reply are limited to 10 minutes for the first inter…
Mr. Chala
My delegation takes the floor to exercise its right of reply.
I would like to reply to the baseless claims and outrageous accusations made by the representative of European Union. The claims made by the European Union representative have been disproved by an internationally credible investigation. The motives for the statement are political and unacceptable. It is regrettable for this stage to b…
The Acting President
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 133.
