  1. “Information that is fabricated and disseminated to cause harm can never form the basis for frank and constructive dialogue. As members of the Security Council, we have a special responsibility to refrain from and oppose any harmful rhetoric in order to promote peace and cooperation.”

  2. “Our clear condemnation of the military aggression is based on the principles of the Charter of United Nations and the international legal order in force and is not directed against the Russian people. Switzerland condemns that serious violation of international law and fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. With regard to the prospects for finding a peaceful, just and lasting solution — and restoring confidence in such a solution — we urge Russia to cease all its combat operations and withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory without delay. Respect for international law, the pursuit of diplomatic solutions and the obligation to ensure accountability for all violations of international law are essential to achieve that goal.”

  3. “Switzerland stresses the importance of refraining from propaganda, hate speech and deliberately divisive language that creates distrust between people and Governments in all circumstances. The disinformation and propaganda in the war against Ukraine reinforce mistrust, deepen divisions and increase hostility. We oppose all attempts to justify Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, as they fuel tensions and are used for political purposes. We recall the General Assembly’s firm position against the war, as well as the decision of the International Court of Justice ordering the immediate withdrawal of Russia’s troops from Ukrainian territory.”

  4. “Mrs. Baumann-Bresolin (Switzerland) (spoke in French): We take note of the remarks delivered by the various briefers today. I would like to start by discussing the recent developments in Ukraine. Last week, Ukraine was hit by one of the heaviest missile and drone attacks since the beginning of the war. Those strikes claimed additional lives and damaged energy infrastructure and other facilities in Kyiv and elsewhere in the country. Switzerland condemns those attacks. We recall that attacks against civilians and civilian objects, as well as indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, are prohibited under international humanitarian law. An old saying states that the first casualty of war is the truth.”

  5. “It is important to stick to the facts and support any credible effort to shed light on the explosions that took place last September. In this regard, Switzerland notes the letter sent today by Germany, Denmark and Sweden with regard to the ongoing investigations.”

  6. “Mrs. Baumann-Bresolin (Switzerland) (spoke in French): I thank the Under-Secretary-General, Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, for her briefing. I have also taken note of the remarks of Mr. Jeffrey Sachs and Mr. Ray McGovern. Switzerland is concerned about the damage to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, which resulted in worrisome gas leaks last September. As mentioned by several at the Security Council meeting last September (see S/PV.9144), and as mentioned in the letter transmitted to the Council by Denmark and Sweden on 29 September (S/2022/725), all available information indicates that these were acts of sabotage. Let me reiterate our position of principle: we condemn any attack on critical infrastructure, such as energy infrastructure, and the consequences for supplying the population, the economy and the environment.”
