  1. “In conclusion, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reiterates its unswerving commitment to the Charter of the United Nations and stresses, from this rostrum, that only through diplomacy, dialogue and coordination, without pressure or sanctions, will we put an end to this unfortunate conflict which today threatens all of humankind.”

  2. “In that connection, we condemn the censorship of the media and disinformation, which makes it difficult to make a decision that is informed by the real situation on the ground. We also call for refraining from participating in the growing and uncontrolled arms race which diverts towards war resources that could be used for development and combating poverty. That growing indiscriminate and uncontrolled flow of weapons is leading to a clash of blocs and seriously threatens international peace and security. Along those lines, we once again insist that achieving a definitive unilateral victory is only an illusion.”

  3. “That implies, first and foremost, complying in good faith with international law and the various relevant international agreements, and secondly, it means putting an end once and for all to resorting to incendiary rhetoric, divisive approaches or reckless actions, such as the supply of the means to prolong the conflict or the perpetration of attacks against critical infrastructure. The international community plays an important role in this situation and its actions can fuel or reverse the situation. Venezuela is convinced that a solution to the conflict requires international commitment in favour of dialogue and against violence and other forms of pressure such as unilateral coercive measures and political manipulation of justice as an instrument for wielding threats.”

  4. “The United Nations must facilitate a peaceful solution to the conflict through dialogue and political negotiation between Russia and NATO in order to build a European security mechanism that is balanced, effective, indivisible and sustainable. Political discrimination and the unilateralism of groups are the main obstacles in that regard. Putting an end to the crisis therefore requires that the parties to the conflict engage in sincere dialogue and advance towards peace.”

  5. “In a case such as the one we are discussing, multilateralism plays an essential role in resolving conflicts, and with that in mind, in the United Nations has a major task ahead of it. That is, in case of a conflict, the role of our Organization has been to reorient conflicts towards democracy with a view to a peaceful resolution. It is our obligation today to contribute to easing tensions before they reach a point of no return that could threaten the survival of current and future generations throughout the world. Our country is convinced that only through open and sincere dialogue with the goal of understanding will it be possible to reverse the situation in which we find ourselves.”

  6. “Unfortunately, the failure of those agreements led to the crisis of international security that we have been confronting for over a year. In 2022, we alerted the international community about the existence of what, in our view, was a three-tier crisis in Eastern Europe, which unless it was dealt with in a cautious and balanced way, had the potential to unleash a global conflict. Unfortunately, our warnings were not and continue to not be heeded. Far from having made progress on a genuine dialogue towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict. We find ourselves today in ever greater confrontation and polarization. We must change direction and do so immediately without further delay.”

  7. “Mr. Gil Pinto (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is strongly committed to defending the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. That is why we view with great concern the threats to international peace and security represented by the continuing disregard of and non-compliance with the commitments and obligations arising from international treaties and agreements to which Member States are parties, as well as from other sources of international law, in flagrant violation of the foundational Preamble of the Charter of the United Nations. In 2015, when we were a non-permanent member of the Security Council, we voted in favour of resolution 2202 (2015) in support of the Minsk agreements (see S/PV.7384).”
