“However, eliminating all threats and repercussions related to this conflict will not be possible without a permanent and sustainable cessation of hostilities, which requires us to spare no effort in supporting all endeavours towards achieving peace in Ukraine, while preserving its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, in line with the Charter of the United Nations. That is what the United Arab Emirates will continue to advocate and support. In the meantime, until this war stops, we continue to stress the need for the parties concerned to do everything in their power to limit the repercussions of the conflict and reduce its risks, including by complying with their obligations in accordance with international humanitarian law.”

“In that context, we once again welcome all measures taken to address the risk of arms diversion related to the war in Ukraine. We also stress the importance of making efforts, including through the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, with the support of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs. In that regard, we emphasize the importance of continuing to build on such efforts, including by continuing to exchange information and enhancing coordination and cooperation at all levels.”

“Ms. Almenhali (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I am pleased to thank the Deputy to the High Representative of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, Mr. Ebo, for his briefing. We also listened carefully to Ms. Wright’s statement, and we welcome the participation of Ukraine’s representative in this meeting. Regarding the topic of our discussion today, and as we mentioned in previous meetings, all States Members of the United Nations have the right to self-defence, including by developing their security and defence capabilities. However, at the same time, we stress that, in order to do so, there should be appropriate oversight mechanisms, especially with regard to the transfer, storage and distribution of weapons, due to their potential repercussions on regional and international security and stability.”
