“According to General Assembly resolution 3314 (XXIX), of 14 December 1974, the actions undertaken by the Russian Federation in Crimea, as well as in the east of Ukraine, fall squarely under the definition of an act of aggression - a crime against international peace. Under Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations, the use of force against the territorial integrity of another State is illegal; thus, no territorial acquisition can be recognized as lawful or retrospectively legitimized. Allow me to recall that the military invasion by Russian troops began on 20 February 2014 by their blocking and seizing Ukrainian civil and military facilities, administrative buildings and infrastructure; illegitimately imposing the pro-Russian Crimean authorities; and holding the so-called referendum of 16 March 2014, at the barrel of a Russian gun.”

“The neo-imperialistic ambitions of the Russian Federation and its reckless militaristic adventurism have created the worst security crisis in Europe since the end of the Second World War. In trying to justify its actions by misinterpretation of the provisions of the Charter, Russia has on numerous occasions, in the less than 25 years ofits membership in the United Nations, demonstrated that it did not respect its own obligations under international law and the Charter. Furthermore, in abusing the right of the veto in the Security Council, the Russian Federation neglects its obligations, as a permanent Council member, to maintain peace and security.”

“Any encroachment on the Charter's provisions, any arbitrary or selective interpretation of its Articles or any actions that undermine its authority or incite disregard for the letter and the spirit of its principles represent a clear threat to international peace, with far-reaching repercussions for the well- being of all peoples. The current developments caused by Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea and its aggression in the eastern Ukraine clearly serve to demonstrate that the violation of fundamental principles of international law by a permanent member of the Security Council is a serious threat to peace and security in Europe and the whole world. The same happened in Georgia in 2008. It happened in Crimea in 2014. It is happening now in eastern Ukraine.”

“For those objectives, we established the purposes and principles of the United Nations. As a founding Member of the United Nations, Ukraine proudly has a stake in that process, as its delegation chaired the drafting of the Charter's Preamble and Chapter I - Purposes and Principles - at the San Francisco Conference. In today's world, those provisions are the prerequisites to any other purposes of the United Nations. Regrettably, we have also witnessed deviations from those principles or their misinterpretation according to convenience. Since the founding of the United Nations, the basic norms of the Charter have been violated on many occasions.”

“At the outset, I would like to thank you, Madam President, for convening this meeting and to underscore the particular importance of the topic of today's Security Council meeting for all Members of the United Nations family. This open debate should serve as our common contribution to the efforts of the international community to address the challenges that the world faces today. My delegation aligns itself with the statement to be delivered later on behalf of the European Union. Back in 1945, in signing the Charter of the United Nations, the founding Member States were determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war and to "establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law could be maintained.”

“"Sometimes not speaking says more than all the words in the world." I would like to conclude by wishing Venezuela a successful presidency in the coming month of February. Venezuela can fully count on our support.”

“As a member returning to the Council after 15 years, I cannot help but be astonished at the volume of work that the Council does. There are many more items on the agenda, and these items are discussed at much greater length during our meetings. I am afraid, however, that this is a case where more does not mean better. Sometimes we are barely able to consider just one item in one morning or afternoon meeting. I remember that during Ukraine's previous term on the Council 15 years ago, we would cover three or more subjects at once. It is my strong conviction that this area of the Council's work requires significant improvement. I was able to find the following quote after listening to the Japanese Ambassador.”

“On a different and positive note, I would like to point out the adoption of resolution 2261 (2016) on the establishment of a political mission in Colombia to monitor and verify the implementation of the agreement between the Government of Colombia and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia - Ejercito del Pueblo. It was a historic moment for Colombia, and the Ukrainian delegation is proud to have been there to support the efforts to end the longest-lasting civil war in Latin America. I wish to say a few words on the working methods of the Council. First of all, I strongly support the points made by the delegation of the United Kingdom on Security Council visits and on the process of the selection of the next Secretary-General.”

“This blatant act undermines the very foundations of the global non-proliferation regime, and it cannot be tolerated. A firm response from the Security Council is required. We like to talk about non-proliferation; here we have a clear case of proliferation, yet the Council is very slow to react properly. The Visit of the Security Council to Burundi was a very useful exercise, although quite disappointing. The opportunity to talk to different interlocutors on the ground and see the country first hand was of immense importance for us as Security Council members entrusted with the authority to maintain international peace and stability. The situation in the country will remain a source of concern for the Security Council for quite some time, and we have to remain vigilant so as not to allow the situation to escalate further.”

“It has been said many times in this Chamber that something has to be done about the Syrian crisis. Unfortunately, the words do not always translate into action. I appeal to colleagues around the table that we try to break the vicious cycle of self-perpetuating violence in Syria. One thing is needed: political will - genuine and sincere political will. Without it, no matter how much or how long we continue our debates in the Chamber or in the consultation room, the situation on the ground will not change and innocent people will continue to lose their lives. Other than the Syrian crisis, we addressed many other subjects. I deliberately choose not to go through all of them, as other colleagues before me have already done so. However, the North Korean nuclear test on 6 January demands the particularly close attention of the Council.”

“The deplorable humanitarian situation in the country, the fate of the people in besieged towns and cities, the situation around the Syrian chemical weapons programme, the political process to find a way to put an end to the bloody conflict that has been ravaging the country for years - all of this we tried to address. With a heavy heart, I have to say that the Security Council has not performed very well in that area despite all of our efforts. The Syrian people continue to suffer and bear the brunt of the armed conflict waged on their land. Particularly worrying is the use by the parties to the conflict of starvation as a method of warfare. This is absolutely unacceptable, and I say this as a representative of the country that suffered the artificial famine organized by the former Soviet regime during 1932-1933.”

“I would like to thank you, Sir, and the entire Uruguayan team for your hard work during the very busy month of January. You have organized and led the Security Council's work in an exemplary fashion, and the Ukrainian delegation applauds your outstanding performance. It was no small feat, given the number of contingencies that have arisen this January. Having said that, I would like to share with you some of my delegation's ideas about the work done by the Council so far. The subject ofthe Syrian crisis has been consistently at the centre of the Council's attention.”

“In the spirit of strong support for the peace process in the Republic of Colombia, Ukraine welcomes resolution 2261 (2016), adopted today, and was glad to co-sponsor this historic document. We also express our appreciation to the British delegation for its leadership in preparing the draft and in conducting the negotiations that led to its successful adoption. This decision will contribute to the strengthening of the role of the United Nations in peacebuilding in post- conflict situations and will provide the support required to advance peace, human rights and development for all citizens in Colombia. We believe that the Colombian initiative to engage the United Nations as the international component of the tripartite mechanism will be a success story and help to bring stability to the region.”

“Ukraine is very pleased to see that the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia have achieved major breakthroughs in the peace process negotiations. We welcome the agreements reached by the sides on transitional justice, the laying down of arms and a timetable for signing a final agreement. The peace talks in Havana brought historic progress toward a final peace agreement to put an end to the more than 50-year-old armed conflict in Colombia, the longest in Latin America. We applaud the fact that peace is now closer than ever for the Colombian people. They deserve ajust and durable peace. We also underline the important roles played by Norway and Cuba as guarantors of the peace process, as well as Chile and Venezuela as accompanying countries.”

“Finally, some of us in the Security Council may have different opinions on the political situation in Syria, but we should stand united when it comes to addressing the humanitarian crisis in the country, which has already suffered so much in the course of the past five years.”

“At a meeting a few days ago, we were informed that nearly 400 residents of the town required immediate medical care and evacuation. What happened to them? If they were not evacuated, we would like to know precisely who prevented the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs from taking care of them. We believe that it is an obligation of the Security Council, without delay, to come up with a document establishing stronger responsibility and accountability for those who target civilians in Syria. As a country that experienced an artificial famine in the early 1930s, Ukraine calls on the Council to make its voice heard when it says that using starvation as a method of warfare by either side cannot and will not be tolerated.”

“We welcome the delivery of the second batch of humanitarian aid to Madaya and call on all sides of the Syrian conflict, including the Syrian Government, to show consistency in providing the United Nations with unhindered access to the town and other besieged areas, as required under international law and pursuant to resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014). We support the statement of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who said yesterday that those responsible for this atrocity must be prosecuted. We want to remind everyone in Syria that anyone deliberately using starvation as a weapon is committing a war crime and will be held accountable sooner or later. I would like to ask a specific question.”

“I thank the Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ms. Kyung-wha Kang, who provided us with a clear picture of the latest developments in the situation in the besieged areas in Syria. It has been roughly a week since the world has come to know the horrifying truth surrounding the siege of Madaya, locatedjust 25 kilometres from the capital city of Damascus. Everybody was shocked by the graphic images of death and starvation coming out of the town, something that is virtually impossible to imagine nowadays. The level of savagery that the people of Madaya have been subjected to can only be compared to the Nazi atrocities during the Second World War. We extend our deepest sympathies to the innocent Syrian people who are suffering indiscriminately as a result of the terrible ongoing conflict in their country.”

We are particularly grateful for their always active and unwavering assistance in preparations for the Ukrainian presidency. I also wish to convey our most cordial gratitude to the interpreters for their wonderful performance during these long hours and days of our presidency. I wish every success to the delegation of the United Kingdom, which will be assuming this seat in the coming days. They, like us, will appreciate members' fullest cooperation.

“Statement by the President The President: Since this is the last public meeting of the month and my last appearance before the Council in my current capacity, I wish to extend to all of the members of the Security Council and to all delegations our sincerest thanks for their efforts in assisting the Ukrainian presidency of the Council at all stages of the implementation of the programme we proposed for this month and beyond, for their spirit of goodwill and cooperation and for their good and thoughtful advice, even before our presidency started. I will be leaving New York with the feeling of "mission accomplished". On behalf of my delegation, I also wish to thank the Secretariat and all the departments that once again displayed their traditional, unfailing readiness to provide us with very useful and detailed information.”

Therefore, while supporting the contents of the draft resolution and being well aware of the outcome of this voting exercise we are about to embark upon, my delegation will not take part in today's vote. We hope that there is still a chance to reach consensus on the draft resolution contained in document 8/2001/281, which we hope will ultimately have the support of the members of the Council.

“The different approaches of the members of the Council to this sensitive issue are well known but, in our view, they are not insurmountable. We commend the enormous efforts exerted by all members of the Council - in particular by the members of the non-aligned caucus, the four Western European members and the United States delegation, as well as the delegations of Palestine and the Arab troika - to find common ground for the agreed text of the draft resolution. As the delegation holding the presidency of the Council, we did our utmost to contribute to reaching that goal. As the current President and as a member of the Council, my delegation bears its share of responsibility for this unfortunate situation.”

“Proceeding from that, my delegation has been consistently in favour of the idea of establishing a United Nations observer presence in the Palestinian territory to protect Palestinian civilians. While being supportive of that idea, we have always recognized that its practical implementation is impossible without the cooperation of Israel. Our position on this matter was clearly manifested during the voting on a draft resolution that took place on 18 December 2000, and was reconfirmed at the recent emergency meeting held by the Council at the request of the Arab Group and Palestine. This position has not changed since then. However, my delegation is worried about the current stage of the Council's consideration of this issue, and about the likely outcome of the action.”
