Speeches following this vote (8) may include explanations of vote
The President
Before giving the floor for explanations of vote after the voting, may I remind delegations that explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Gómez Robledo Verduzco (Mexico)
Mexico is in favour of promoting the participation of all Member States in the General Assembly and recognizes the extraordinary circumstances that Heads of State or Government might face this year, and that certainly includes the President of Ukraine, to participate in the general debate to be held next week. Since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, my delegation has supported President Zel…
Mr. Pedroso Cuesta (Cuba)
Cuba defends strict respect for the Charter of the United Nations and international law in all circumstances. We also stress the fact that the rules of procedure of the General Assembly should be adhered to at all times. Decision 77/506, which was submitted to the Assembly as an alleged procedural matter, aims to make the Assembly take a decision on a substantive issue on which it is widely kno…
Mr. Dangor (South Africa)
The upcoming general debate of the General Assembly is the first fully open Assembly since the start of the coronavirus disease pandemic.

Iran reiterates its position on the current conflict in Ukraine, as explained during the meeting of the eleventh emergency special session of the General Assembly held on 2 March (see A/ES-11/PV.5). My Government, as one of the founding Members of the United Nations, hig…
Mr. Vidal (Chile)
Chile regrets the victims of the brutal war that is taking place in Ukraine, which has violated norms of international law, international humanitarian law and the Charter of the United Nations. Chile is a country that is in favour of multilateralism. We believe that disputes between States should be resolved within the relevant bodies in line with the relevant standards. The multilateral system …
Mr. De Almeida Filho (Brazil)
Brazil abstained in the voting on decision 77/506, after voting in favour of draft amendment A/77/L.2, which was proposed by Belarus. We agree that any Head of State facing exceptional difficulties should be allowed to participate in the general debate through a pre-recorded statement. We regret, however, that the original language unnecessarily politicized what should be a procedural issue. Othe…
The President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of vote after the voting. The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 7.
