1. “The Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now. A vote was taken by show of hands.

3. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Security Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representatives of Angola, Benin, Chad, Denmark, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Finland, the Gambia, Guinea, Japan, Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mauritius, Morocco, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Portugal, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Seychelles, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Togo and Tunisia to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda.”

4. “China said that it would consider a presidential statement but, when pressed, it said that the only acceptable provision was to update the weapons-control list, which the Council already has authorization to do, pursuant to previous resolutions. I will therefore go back to where I started by stating that this veto protects the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which has launched six intercontinental ballistic missiles since the beginning of the year, in explicit violation of multiple Security Council resolutions. China and Russia can therefore explain their actions to the General Assembly in that regard. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. The representative of China has asked for the floor to make a further statement.”

5. “I shall now make a further statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. In response to my colleague from China, we do not ask China to align with the United States, but rather to support Security Council resolutions that they have already agreed to. Draft resolution S/2022/431 failed today because China and Russia vetoed it. We do agree that this is a threat to security. It is a threat to our security, the security of our partners in the region and to China and Russia. That is why we thought it necessary to move forward with the draft resolution. There has been some discussion over several days about a proposal for a presidential statement submitted by China, about which we were asked various questions. I want to be clear that we never saw any draft of that proposal.”

6. “We resolve to continue to work to restrict the development of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s unlawful WMD and ballistic-missile programme together with the countries that are willing to stand up for the international non-proliferation regime and that refuse to ignore the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s repeated violations of Security Council resolutions. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Japan.”

7. “It will continue to grow more dangerous, and it sends a clear message to other proliferators that they can act with impunity. The Council must stand up to the threat of WMD proliferation, whether it comes from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea or anyone else. I also want to make it clear that sanctions are not responsible for the dire humanitarian situation in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It is the result of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s own policies of spending resources on a WMD programme to the neglect of its own people. And we will continue to offer humanitarian assistance, including COVID-19 assistance, as I mentioned earlier. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has only to accept it.”

8. “That has resulted in the Council’s failure to fulfil its responsibilities to maintain international peace and security by negotiating on the text of today’s draft resolution, as well as the failure of those members to preserve the Council’s unity and credibility. They have decided to shield a proliferator from facing the consequences of its actions, and they have demonstrated the worthlessness of their word by giving an explicit nod of approval to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. For that, they will have to explain themselves to the General Assembly. And I fear that in the coming weeks they will have to explain why they have enabled the further provocations that will surely come. Today’s reckless outcome means that the threat from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea will continue to grow.”

9. “It is not the willingness of the United States to engage in diplomacy with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and others that has changed. We have made serious, sustained efforts, publicly and privately, to pursue diplomacy with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea without preconditions. And we have urged China and Russia to engage with the rest of the Security Council on this text, offering sincere flexibility. As Secretary Blinken said just this morning, “It is in all of our interests to uphold the rules, norms and treaties that have reduced the spread of weapons of mass destruction”. So what is it? What has changed? The only thing that has changed is the refusal of permanent members of the Security Council to do their job.”

10. “In 2017 the Security Council unanimously and unambiguously decided that the Council would impose further restrictions in the event of another the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea ICBM launch. And as I mentioned earlier, restraint and silence on the part of the Council has not eliminated or even reduced the threat. If anything, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has been emboldened by its inaction. It is not the dire humanitarian situation that has changed. The people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are suffering, and even though the United States has offered urgent humanitarian and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) relief to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in good faith and independent of the lack of progress on denuclearization, those offers of assistance have gone unanswered.”

11. “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is still expressing its intention to advance its programme for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missiles, and it has flagrantly violated the Security Council’s resolutions 23 times this year alone by launching ballistic missiles, including six intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) — a missile system that in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s hands poses a grave threat to international peace and security and to Council members. The world is facing a clear and present danger from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. That is why 13 of us supported this draft resolution — because it is, and was, the right thing to do. It is not the Security Council’s clear mandate that has changed either.”

12. “In 2016 and again in 2017, the Council unanimously responded to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s provocations with resolutions that imposed sanctions and brought collective condemnation of a very real threat to peace and security. Today, two permanent members of the Security Council chose to veto rather than act. And so, we may ask, what has changed? It is not the gravity of the threat that has changed.”

13. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. It goes without saying that this is a disappointing day for the Security Council. It has refused to take action in response to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s unlawful launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles. I wish that I could say I am surprised. We have been circulating the text of draft resolution S/2022/431 for nine weeks. In that time, the countries that vetoed the draft resolution have refused to engage on it, despite our commitment to inclusivity and flexibility during consultations. Before today, the Security Council had a remarkable record of consensus and collective action on this issue, going back many years.”

14. “The draft resolution received 13 votes in favour, 2 against and no abstentions. The draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of one permanent member of the Council. I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements after the voting.”

The Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now. A vote was taken by show of hands.

16. “That certain Council members refused to engage, despite our commitment to and demonstration of inclusivity throughout this process, is their choice, and it is their choice alone. If adopted, this action-oriented draft resolution will restrict the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s ability to advance its unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic-missile programmes, streamline sanctions implementation and further facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. It also takes an urgently needed step towards addressing the concerning coronavirus disease outbreak in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. We ask all Council members to stand with us against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s unlawful actions and vote for the adoption of the draft resolution.”

17. “Council action is not the reason for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s escalation, because Council inaction is certainly enabling it. Today’s vote is the Council’s opportunity to stand by its word. It is the Council’s responsibility to act in response to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s ICBM launches. Only through a resolution can we deliver on the commitment made by the Council in resolution 2397 (2017). With the adoption of this draft resolution, we can send a message to all proliferators that we will not stand for any actions on their part that seek to undermine international peace and security. We took a deliberate and Council-wide approach to negotiations to ensure that all members have a voice in this draft resolution.”

18. “May I remind my fellow Council members that we have tried to propose press elements and a press statement following many of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s launches this year, including the 24 March ICBM launch. We were told, however, that any such statement could lead to escalation or destabilize the Korean peninsula. In fact, the exact opposite has happened. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has taken the Council’s silence as a green light to act with impunity and escalate tensions on the peninsula. It has engaged in an unprovoked series of 23 — let me repeat that — 23 ballistic-missile launches since the beginning of the year and is actively preparing to conduct a nuclear test.”

19. “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has now conducted six ICBM tests without any response from the Security Council, despite the commitment that the Council made in resolution 2397 (2017) to take further measures in the event of an additional ICBM launch. Following that commitment by the Council, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea suspended ICBM tests for five years. But its ICBM launches in recent months have tested the integrity and the will of the Council to carry out its commitments. Thus far, we have not done so. We cannot let this become the new norm. We cannot tolerate such dangerous and threatening behaviour. Some Council members have argued that a presidential statement is the appropriate response to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s ICBM launches.”

20. “The United States assesses that this is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s sixth ICBM launch since the beginning of 2022. That is a threat to the peace and security of the entire international community. It is undeniable that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continues to illustrate its commitment to advancing its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic-missile programmes in violation of multiple Security Council resolutions. The Council made a commitment to respond to exactly that kind of escalation. We cannot allow the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to normalize those unlawful and destabilizing actions, nor can we let the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea divide the Security Council and exhaust our capacity to respond decisively.”

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s 25 May launch of three ballistic missiles included yet another intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch.”

23. “Its leaders can choose to move boldly towards a unified Libya with a Government that strives to meet the needs of its people and protects human rights, including for the many migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Libya, or they can choose to backslide into disunity, instability, halted development and the possibility of further violent conflict. There is still an opportunity to rekindle the spirit of political unity that led to the ceasefire and the establishment of an electoral road map. But that window of opportunity is shrinking with each passing day and month. It is time for Libya’s leaders to do right by its people. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

24. “But how many more months will we wait until Libya holds the election for which more than 3 million people registered? The delays and roadblocks must end. We appreciate the work of the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser, Ms. Stephanie Williams, and of delegates from the House of Representatives and the High State Council, who met in Cairo last week to move us towards political consensus. But let me be 100 per cent clear: those who obstruct or undermine a successful political transition in Libya may face sanctions. Libya is at a critical juncture.”

25. “Over and over, we see reports that weapons and foreign fighters are still flowing into the country, fuelling violence and violating resolution 1970 (2011). The United States urges all armed groups to cease fighting and to work to preserve the 2020 ceasefire and the goals of the 5+5 Joint Military Commission. Today I also want to call attention to the deeply troubling trend of Libyan leaders courting violent extremists and using restrictive laws to crack down on civil society activists, silence critics and shore up power. That is not what a free, fair and open Libya looks like. We are pleased to hear of the progress towards agreeing to a constitutional basis for presidential and parliamentary elections, and we welcome the plan to reconvene again in June.”

Let me start by thanking Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo for her informative, timely briefing today. I also thank Ambassador Tirumurti for updating the Security Council on the developments of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011), concerning Libya. I welcome the Permanent Representative of Libya to our deliberations today. Yet again, we meet to discuss the situation in Libya, and, yet again, we heard that the Libyan people are still being robbed of the peace, stability and democracy for which they long. Violence continues unabated. Just days ago, as Council members already heard, on 17 May, we saw clashes between rival militias in the streets of Tripoli.”

We strongly encourage States to join us in funding UNRWA so it can ensure that those in need receive support to cope with rising food prices and so that it can continue to provide education and health care to Palestinian refugees. At the same time, we invite Member States to join us in promoting UNRWA’s efforts to strengthen its effectiveness and financial sustainability. We will continue to work with UNRWA to bolster the Agency’s accountability, transparency and consistency with humanitarian principles, including neutrality. Only in this spirit of cooperation among Member States, but especially between Israelis and Palestinians, can we pursue equal measures of freedom, security and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians alike.”

34. “When such actions violate the law, the perpetrators, whether Israeli or Palestinian, should be held accountable by the relevant authorities. I would like to now shift our focus to how Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine is affecting food insecurity in the region. As we have made clear in the Security Council, Russia is actively impeding Ukrainian farmers and blocking food exports. We know this is having a particularly devastating impact on the Middle East and Africa. This makes the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which supports vulnerable populations on the ground, more critical than ever. Member States must keep this in mind as we approach next month’s pledging conference.”

35. “The violence following Shireen’s killing and funeral only adds to the increasing tensions we witnessed during the convergence of Ramadan, Passover and Easter last month. That included multiple terrorist attacks against Israel and rockets fired from Gaza and Lebanon, which we also condemn in the strongest terms. We appeal to all sides to work cooperatively to lower tensions and honour Shireen, by redoubling efforts to promote peace. It is important to refrain from unilateral actions that exacerbate tensions and jeopardize a negotiated two-State solution. This includes the situation in Masafer Yatta, and other evictions, which we continue to monitor closely and about which we continue to voice our concerns.”

We will continue to prioritize media freedom and defend journalists’ ability to do their job without fear or threats of violence or unjust detention. Shireen’s killing is a tragic loss and an affront to press freedom everywhere. Compounding this loss was the violence at Shireen’s funeral procession on 13 May, and we have directly shared our concern with Israel with regard to the troubling footage of Israeli police intruding on the procession. Every family deserves to be able to lay their loved ones to rest in a dignified and unimpeded manner.”

We also mourn the heart-wrenching killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh on 11 May. Shireen was a widely respected veteran reporter whom I had the pleasure of meeting. She was a role model for many aspiring journalists, particularly women and girls, and her work was followed closely by those who care about the region. We strongly condemn her killing, and we call for an immediate, thorough, transparent and impartial investigation, and, upon the conclusion of an investigation, we expect full accountability for those found responsible.”

I really appreciate that Ms. Damelin reminded us of the importance of hope — hope for a future and hope for peace. With that aim, the United States was pleased to participate in the recent meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee, and we welcome the tangible announcements, including a joint commission on water and working-level discussions related to financing and taxation. These types of discussions play an important role, and we fully support these efforts. But even as we push for dialogue and cooperation, we must also call out any and all violence. The string of recent terrorist attacks against Israelis has been horrific.”
