“As we end our presidency, I know I speak on behalf of the Council in wishing the delegation of Brazil good luck in the month of July. The meeting rose at 12.30 p.m.”

“There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. Before adjourning the meeting, as this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of June, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of Albania to the members of the Council and the secretariat of the Council for the support they have provided to us. It has indeed been a busy month, and one in which we rallied to consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone or without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, including the conference services officers, interpreters, verbatim reporters and security staff.”

“Escalatory steps and provocations go against that spirit. They will not help Iran; they will not help negotiators; they will not contribute to the process. We hope that the frank engagement of the international community, especially the tireless efforts of the European Union, will encourage the Iranian authorities to seize the momentum, stop the threats and provocations and work with full transparency with those who have put on the table a comprehensive, meaningful, forward-looking and far-reaching agreement. I conclude by reiterating our firm belief that the JCPOA, a landmark success of diplomacy, remains the only tool that can reassure the international community in a verifiable way that Iran’s nuclear programme is and remains solely dedicated to peaceful purposes. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council.”

“Fourthly, Albania welcomes the adoption with overwhelming support of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors resolution early this month upholding the IAEA’s core mission of safeguarding nuclear material to prevent nuclear proliferation. We deeply regret the recent decision of the Iranian authorities to shut down the IAEA cameras and the Online Enrichment Monitor. Iran must fully cooperate with the IAEA and not undermine its work. Providing technically credible information in response to the IAEA’s questions is the only way to remove those safeguards issues from the Board’s agenda and to show commitment to the JCPOA. We call on Iran to fully comply with the resolution and its annexes and all other obligations. I began my remarks by mentioning good faith and trust.”

“We are extremely worried about the findings contained in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2022/490), which clearly address the inconsistent activities undertaken by Iran that are in clear violation of paragraph 3 of annex B to resolution 2231 (2015). Thirdly, we welcome the visit of the Secretariat to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in response to invitations from their respective authorities. The materials examined show that Iran has conducted the transfer of unmanned aerial vehicle systems and capabilities to non-State actors. We urge Iran to stop transferring and delivering those technologies to regional non-State actors and to fully comply with paragraph 4 of annex B to resolution 2231 (2015). Furthermore, we expect the Secretariat to report to the Security Council on its further findings in due course.”

“I would like to make the following brief points. First, we regret the fact that recent days’ talks in Doha were inconclusive. Since March, what looks like a possible, good and fair agreement has been waiting for Iran’s approval. We see it as an excellent opportunity for Iran to embrace a solution that would benefit regional and world security as well as peace and stability and that would best serve the interests of the Iranian people themselves. The sooner they respond to this opportunity, the better. Requests that go outside the perimeter of the core issue of the agreement do not contribute to the process. Secondly, we are deeply worried about the second test launch of a domestic satellite vehicle on 26 June.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Albania. I would like to thank Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo for her valuable insights. I would also like to thank Ambassador Skoog for the updated information he provided in his capacity as the Representative of the Coordinator of the Joint Commission established by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). We also thank Ambassador Byrne Nason for her work as facilitator for resolution 2231 (2015) and commend her stewardship and efforts in supporting the implementation of the resolution. Albania has a profound belief in multilateral diplomacy and solutions. For multilateralism to succeed, we need to engage in good faith, have and show trust, and seek realistic and lasting solutions. That is the essence of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).”

“Otherwise, we risk further betraying the trust of the Syrian people. In concluding, I want to emphasize that Albania sees no alternative to full accountability for the crimes committed by all parties involved if Syria is to ever step back from the abyss and return to being a prosperous, important and peaceful country. No sustainable future can be built on impunity. No lasting peace can ever have crimes as its foundation. We should not support the politics of erasure in Syria. Transitional justice must therefore be at the heart of efforts to move towards a genuine political transition that leads to a free and democratic Syria — a Syria for all, not just for a few. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

“Despite the commendable efforts by Special Representative of the Secretary-General Pedersen, the Constitutional Committee continues to be disappointing. It must not make a mockery of Syrian aspirations. No one should be allowed to undermine all efforts to move the political transition forward. We know that a genuine political transition is essential, as enshrined in the spirit and the letter of Security Council resolution 2254 (2015), if there is to be any real, meaningful hope of averting a further catastrophe in Syria. We call on all those involved to show goodwill and genuine commitment, including through a clear timeline, with clear deliverables, if we are to put any faith in the process. We also support the equal, full and meaningful participation of women in the process.”

“The most recent amnesty should not allow the regime to use its people as hostages, seeking to bypass resolution 2254 (2015) in an effort to secure international acceptance and extract concessions from the international community while maintaining the status quo. That does not bear the hallmarks of transparent action aimed at building trust. We still do not know who has been released and where or how many more innocent Syrians are being held in captivity, and we do not know how many have been killed. What we know instead is the anguish of the thousands of Syrian families that have been searching for their loved ones for more than a decade, most of them in vain. The Constitutional Committee is the most tangible sign of progress for the political transition in Syria, yet it has met eight times without being able to produce any results.”

“We heard in his words, some of them not usually used in this Chamber, the true picture of a country in distress and of a population in anguish. As that dramatic situation leaves little or no room for hope, it is only fitting that the horrific humanitarian situation is the central preoccupation of our work here in this Chamber. Therefore, the renewal of the cross-border mandate next month is of paramount importance to preserving that lifeline for millions of Syrians, as the Secretary-General recently told the Council and as was echoed today by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Albania. I thank Special Envoy Pedersen for his briefing and his relentless efforts to put an end to the conflict in Syria and to bring lasting peace to that country, ravaged by war, marred by misery and with no clear prospect towards peace in sight. We heard the pain and anger in the voice of Mr. Alshogre, in his own words as well as in the testimonies from individuals from all parts of Syria — the voices of those who are trapped in a nightmare with no end in sight; those who feel lost because they are lost; those who feel powerless because they are powerless; and those who look for help because they need help — all the help that they can get after the past 11 years, which have inflicted an almost unimaginable degree of devastation and loss on the Syrian people.”

“We welcome the recent commitments of the G-7 to a new package of coordinated actions aimed at increasing pressure on Russia over its war in Ukraine. We also welcome the latest decision of the European Union. Let me end with this. This war must stop, with a full and immediate withdrawal of Russia’s forces and military equipment from the entire territory of Ukraine. The sooner that happens the better for all — Ukraine, Russia and the entire world. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

“It is destroying its industries, roads, schools and health system along the way. It is killing civilians. It is punishing its youth and it is destroying the fabric of a society. It is also testing the resolve of all who truly believe in the rules-based international order and respect for the Charter of the United Nations. This is therefore no time to stand aside. International support for Ukraine and its people is a moral and solidarity issue. It is choosing to stand on the right side, the side of law, of rights, of life and of dignity. One day this war will be over, but the way it will end matters to all of us. If we want to preserve the rule of law, we must make sure that everyone knows the cost of aggression against another country.”

“On top of that, the current food-insecurity crisis continues to spread around the world. Global food prices are now at an all-time high. That is the parallel war that Russia is waging against the world. It has transformed the war in Ukraine from a local act of aggression into an acute international challenge. We know that millions of tons of grain are piled up in Ukraine. Of those, 8 million tons are said to be in the occupied areas, and Russia is reportedly stealing it from Ukraine. A meticulous and professional investigation by the BBC has shown how this is being carried out in Donbas — and not just where grain is concerned but also other Ukrainian assets. Russia has already occupied 20 per cent of Ukrainian territory, but its appetite has increased. This war is paralysing Ukraine.”

“Indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians constitute war crimes. We all know it. Those who decide to attack shopping centres, shelters, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and apartment buildings are well aware of possible civilian casualties. They know they are committing war crimes when their responsibility is to protect civilians. They must pay for those actions. This aggression is not limited to Ukraine. Zealous commentators for State propaganda, as well as senior State officials, fill the airwaves with worst-case scenarios involving the deployment of weapons of mass destruction, including — as we have heard more than once — nuclear sabre-rattling. We are seeing a dramatic increase in cyberwarfare and advanced disinformation attacks.”

“According to reports, dozens of people lost their lives and dozens more were injured. What possible justification can be provided for dropping missiles on a commercial centre in the very heart of an urban area? What can possibly explain such blatant, indiscriminate brutality against civilians? We have heard Russia’s continual denial of the targeting of civilians so many times, but overwhelming evidence such as this proves the contrary again and again. Have we forgotten that Kyiv was deliberately targeted last April as the Secretary-General was visiting the city? The reports of this now speak of deliberate attacks in protest against the meeting of the Group of Seven (G-7). But if that were the case, why should civilians, including children, pay the price of such despicable symbolism?”

“The reason given then was that it was a goodwill gesture to favour negotiations between the parties. The truth proved to be very different. The attempt to take Kyiv failed spectacularly. Negotiations went nowhere. War intensified instead. Russia has continued its massive assault on Ukraine, threatening Europe, running against every human effort made since the Second World War to build global peace through the international rule of law. As the war shifted ferociously to the east, life returned to some sort of normalcy in Kyiv until missiles again started to fall from the sky. That was an unmistakable message — Russia can hit at will, anywhere, anytime, just because it can. Last Sunday, nearly 1,000 people found themselves under a Russian air strike that hit a shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk in central Ukraine.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Albania. I thank Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo for her update. It was again a troubling one on this issue. A senseless war of aggression that could and should have been avoided has entered its fifth month, with 125 days of widespread destruction, mounting civilian casualties and continued pain inflicted on millions of people across Ukraine. Millions of others all over the world have found themselves victims as collateral damage of a war that has nothing to do with them, a war that is weaponizing everything: energy, trade, communication and, mainly, food. Let us remind ourselves that on 29 March, five weeks after the start of its war of choice in Ukraine, Russia announced its withdrawal of forces from the Kyiv area.”

“The situation created by the shutdown of more than 30 per cent of the oil fields in the country is undermining the Libyan economy and hindering investment in critical infrastructure and even the provision of basic services vital to the population. While we reiterate our thanks to Special Adviser Williams for her tireless efforts and meaningful contribution, I reiterate Albania’s support for the Secretary-General’s efforts to appoint a fully empowered special representative for Libya and to adopt a robust, renewed mandate for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya next month. In conclusion, we would like Ms. Alhodiri and every citizen of Libya to live and to thrive, not just to survive. No one can change things for the Libyans; only they can more the country forward.”

“We call on Libyan political actors to uphold meaningful human rights commitments and not undermine them because of short-term political gains. We believe that the reconciliation process involves Libyans themselves. A rights-based, victim- centred reconciliation process is crucial to preventing conflict from recurring in the country. Therefore, Albania reaffirms its support for the extension of the Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya. The Mission should continue its critical work in advancing human rights and security and enhancing rights-based national reconciliation in the country. Finally, oil production in the country has yet to return to normal, and no progress in that regard has been made. National wealth should benefit all Libyan people.”

“No effort should be spared in preventing conflict from flaring up on the ground. We welcome the resumption of the 5+5 Joint Military Commission, which has already proven to be pivotal in securing progress on the military track and preserving the ceasefire of October 2020. We urge all Libyan political and institutional actors to redouble their efforts towards the concrete implementation of the ceasefire agreement, including the withdrawal of foreign fighters, foreign forces and mercenaries. Thirdly, the human rights situation in the country is deteriorating. We deplore the detention and unfair trials of a local staff member of the Norwegian Refugee Council and other civil society and humanitarian actors because of the restrictions issued recently by the Tripoli-based Civil Society Commission.”

“It is high time for us to hear their voices and respect their will and their legitimate rights. We urge the Libyan stakeholders to pursue an inclusive political compromise to overcome the impasse of the executive in order to guarantee an environment conducive to organizing fair, credible, inclusive and transparent elections. There is no space for violence in that process, and the Security Council will not condone any attempt at the creation of parallel institutions or bids to take power through force and violence. Those undermining the elections must be held accountable. Secondly, maintaining stability on the ground is a prerequisite for a Libyan-led, Libyan-owned political process that is facilitated by the United Nations. We are concerned about the increasing tensions among militias. The ceasefire must be respected.”

Progress has been made thanks to the commendable efforts of the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General, Ms. Stephanie Williams, and her excellent work in very challenging conditions, but much remains to be done. We call on the leaders of the House of Representatives and the High Council of State to engage in good faith to bridge outstanding issues in the meeting called by Special Adviser Williams, which is to be held in Geneva tomorrow. The Libyan people have clearly expressed their willingness to cast their votes, freely choose their leaders and rule over their destinies.”

I would also like to acknowledge the participation of the Permanent Representative of Libya, Ambassador Elsonni, in today’s meeting. I would like to make the following four brief points. First, our first and shared priority should remain avoiding any military escalation and overcoming the current political and institutional impasse of the country. Rivalry and pressure with armed men can take the country only backwards. It should not be allowed. It should not happen. The Libyans do not want it.”

“That is why we welcome all initiatives to unblock the status quo, including by the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, which met in Brussels last month, and the measures taken but the Israeli Government to expand the issuance of work permits to Palestinians. We also commend the vital support that the European Union is giving to the Palestinian people, including to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Such measures will never be enough; they are not really game-changers. Yet they are important since they help reverse the negative trends and keep the hope for a peaceful resolution of the conflict alive. The Palestinians and Israelis have suffered enough from this tragic conflict. They all need peace. We must do whatever we can to help them achieve that end.”

We should not have to contemplate this dangerous predicament, which could transform the prospects of a peaceful solution from a wish into a souvenir. This bleak outlook is a cry for the resumption of peaceful negotiations on the bases of the legal framework created by the United Nations and relevant regional initiatives, and we very much look forward to the visit of President Biden in the region.”
