Lithuania would like to make a statement in explanation of its position after the adoption of resolution 69/12 on cooperation between the United Nations and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Mr. Ibrahim (Syrian Arab Republic)

As a sponsor of resolution 69/14, he should not be allowed to speak in explanation of vote after the voting. Apparently he also has knowledge about locations involving the use of chemical weapons against members of the Syrian army and civilians in Syria, bu…
The President
I give the floor to the representative of the Secretariat.
Mr. Botnaru

The President
