  1. “Gabon continues to advocate for international peace and security and calls on the parties to engage in dialogue in order to find a diplomatic solution. It is our shared responsibility, as an international community, to support efforts to that end in our collective commitment to achieving world peace.”

  2. “Protecting the physical and psychological integrity of every individual is a moral imperative. We recall the need to safeguard civil and cultural infrastructure. Attacks on schools, hospitals, churches, monuments and cultural sites are not only a crime against the country’s cultural heritage, but also against its future generations and their cultural inheritance. We must redouble our efforts to end this war. Concrete measures must be taken to guarantee the safety of populations and facilitate access for humanitarian organizations. In conclusion, my country recalls that the proliferation of both conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction poses a threat to world peace and security. No reason — no matter how praiseworthy it might be — can justify war and its devastating social, geopolitical and economic consequences.”

  3. “Mr. Diaba (Gabon) (spoke in French): I thank the briefers for their statements. The war unfolding in Ukraine continues to flout the most fundamental principles of international law and international humanitarian law. We are helplessly watching the escalation of violence, in which civilians have become trapped because of their cultural or religious affiliation. The number of victims continues to rise, places of worship are being destroyed, and major infrastructure is being damaged. We will not tire in repeating that the situation is unacceptable and must be continuously condemned. Indiscriminate or targeted attacks, forced displacements, acts of sabotage and similar acts lead only to further suffering for the population, especially women, children and the elderly.”

  4. “The quadripartite agreement between Russia and Ukraine, under the auspices of the United Nations and Türkiye, has guaranteed the safe export of grain via the Black Sea for a whole year, and this has made it possible to avoid, if only slightly, soaring grain prices and the risk of food insecurity in certain regions, such as the Horn of Africa, which suffers from recurrent drought. Today, with the global economic context deeply affected by the multiplicity of crises, particularly humanitarian crises, the cost of instability could become even heavier. We therefore urge the parties to invest their efforts in dialogue to find a diplomatic and economic solution that will benefit everyone. We also urge the Secretary-General to continue his exchanges with the parties so as to break the current deadlock.”

  5. “Mr. Diaba (Gabon) (spoke in French): I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Martin Griffiths and Under-Secretary Rosemary DiCarlo for their briefings and the information they provided. We have also listened carefully to Mr. Mikhail Khazin’s statement. Ecuador and France proposed the convening of this meeting following the suspension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. That agreement, signed in July 2022, had inspired great hope that there would be a certain degree calm, in particular in terms of food security. The armed conflict in Ukraine, which we have been following with great attention and apprehension for months, is about to take another turn as dangerous as the previous one.”
