The Acting President
The exercise of the 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 intervention and to five minutes for the second intervention and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Kalmar
(Israel)
I am compelled to take the floor regarding references concerning my country made earlier by the representatives of Iran and Syria.
Iran is in no moral position to lecture or preach about nuclear threats. Iran, in itself, is accountable for the mistrust in the Middle East arms control architecture and has violated its commitments under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) …
Mrs. Kavaleuskaya
(Belarus)
In response to the statement delivered by the representative of Lithuania, we would like to say that addressing nuclear safety and security requires every Government to make daily efforts. Furthermore, it requires constructive, focused cooperation in relevant international forums.
Since the beginning of the implementation of our national nuclear energy and power programme, Belarus has remained c…
Mr. Eremin
(Russian Federation)
I would like to respond to the statement made by the representative of Australia in connection with Russia’s actions under the Comprehensive Nuclear- Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Russia has always been strictly and consistently guided by the tenet of the inadmissibility of nuclear war, which has no winners and should never be unleashed. We call on the other countries of the five nuclear Powers to demo…
Mr. Kusano
(Japan)
Our delegation is compelled to exercise the right of reply in response to some baseless and unacceptable statements by the Chinese delegation regarding our Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS)-treated water. The Government of Japan and the operator, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, with the involvement of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), are conducting monitoring, and no anomal…
Mr. Zlenko
(Ukraine)
Our delegation feel compelled to exercise its right of reply in response to the statement made by the representative of the Russian Federation regarding the so-called referendums that he mentioned. The referendums held in Crimea and in various regions of Ukraine — Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Luhansk and Donetsk — have not been recognized by the international community. They were merely a propaganda p…
Mr. Ghorbanpour Najafabadi
(Islamic Republic of Iran)
I am exercising our right of reply to address the fictitious allegations made by the representative of the Israeli regime against my country. First and foremost, I firmly reject them.
The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its heartfelt condolences to the suffering people of Palestine and its firm solidarity with them. We strongly condemn
the grave atrocities committed by the Israeli regime in …
Mr. Al Ashkar
(Syrian Arab Republic)
My delegation categorically rejects what has been said by the representative of Israel about my country, Syria.
It seems that the representative of the Israeli entity does not know the bloody history of the entity that he represents. The Israeli entity was the first to use biological and chemical weapons in the Middle East, and it is reminding us of its criminal acts today through its use of int…
Mr. Rosinas
(Lithuania)
I feel compelled to exercise my right of reply in response to the reply by the representative of Belarus with regard to the Belarusian nuclear power plant.
This meeting on the agenda item currently under consideration — the report (see A/78/304) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — is the most appropriate forum in which to raise awareness among the international community of the s…
The Acting President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 89?
