“Consistent with those principles and in response to the Secretary-General’s call, we believe that a humanitarian ceasefire is absolutely necessary in order to alleviate the terrible situation in Gaza and to reduce the risk of an expansion of violence in the region. Unfortunately, no action by the Council can restore lives lost. But we can try to prevent more suffering, more pain and more death. Every day, every minute and every second counts because every life counts. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Egypt.”

“We have expressed our solidarity with Israel and with Palestine, because all lives are precious, because we grieve for all death and because there is no justification for causing pain and death to innocent civilians. We have pointed out that Israel has the right to defend its population and also the inescapable obligation to respect the principles of international law and international humanitarian law in exercising that right. We have also rejected the use of civilians as human shields by Hamas. In short, our position has been clear and has been based on international law and on the defence of human life and dignity. Those are the principles that guide us on this and all issues, without double standards.”

“He did so because the situation is rapidly deteriorating and in order to prevent a total collapse and a catastrophe with potentially irreversible consequences for peace and security in the region. Ecuador has been clear in strongly and unequivocally condemning the unjustifiable and atrocious terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas, as well as in demanding that all hostages be released immediately and unconditionally. We have done so repeatedly, in this and other forums, and we do so again today. We have also been clear in recalling that the Palestinian people have an inalienable right to self-determination and to its legitimate aspirations to live in security, freedom, justice, opportunity and dignity.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Ecuador. At the outset, I would like to thank the Secretary- General for his statement this morning and reiterate Ecuador’s support for his work and that of the entire United Nations system at this difficult time. On Wednesday, for the first time in more than 30 years, Article 99 of the Charter of the United Nations was invoked, thus allowing the Secretary-General to draw the attention of the Council to any matter which, in his opinion, might jeopardize the maintenance of international peace and security. He did so in view of the magnitude of the loss of life in Gaza and Israel in the two months since the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on 7 October.”

“We reiterate our urgent call on all parties involved to immediately cease hostilities and to respect their obligations under human rights and international humanitarian law. We believe that the recently adopted resolution rightly addresses this alarming situation by establishing regular reports to the Council on threats to international peace and security arising from the situation in the Sudan, as well as the efforts undertaken by the United Nations. This mechanism is essential if the Council is to be able to fulfil the responsibilities entrusted to it. That is why we voted in favour of the resolution. We also welcome the appointment of Mr. Lamamra as Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General and wish him every success.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Ecuador. First, I wish to express my appreciation to the Chinese delegation for its leadership during the month of November as President of the Council. I thank the delegation of the United Kingdom for its work on the text of resolution 2715 (2023) and its highly constructive role in reaching the necessary compromises in this vote. We deplore the context of violent fighting, with severe consequences for the civilian population, which has led millions of people to flee the violence to seek refuge far from their homes. We are concerned about reports of a series of events that, if confirmed, could constitute crimes against humanity.”
