last september, as was mentioned by many screw to cancel meeting last september. and as stated in the letter sent to the counselor by sweden and denmark on the 29th of september, all available information indicates that these were acts of sabotage. let me read to me the position of principal. we condemn any attack on critical infrastructure, such as energy infrastructure and its consequences on the supply of people, the economy and the environment. it is important to stick to the facts and to support any credible effort to shed light on the explosions that occurred last september. in this regard, switzerland notes the letters submitted to date by germany, denmark and sweden, regarding the ongoing investigations. thank you. i think the representative,

i think the representative of switzerland for their statements and i know give the floor to the representative of japan. thank you mister president. i think he us, did you caro, professor sucks. mister mcgovern for the briefing. mister president, japan is deeply concerned about the incident happened to the critical infrastructure, namely, the no story, no stream pipelines intern in international waters in about dixie. we are concerned about potentially long term damage and the risk to the marine environment and climate in the region. the investigation of the incident is ongoing, and japan is monitoring the progress of the investigation. because monitoring the progress of the investigation at the same time, this incident reminds us once again of the importance of ensuring the safety of energy infrastructure. any targeting of civilian infrastructure and facilities must

be avoided with strongly con them, any active violence against that. we are closely following developments and continued to us, those involved to exercise restraint and refrain from engaging in any activity that could disrupt peace and stability. and as resources, including natural gas on the mental to people's life. vandalism to critical infrastructure is an unacceptable act that we have a life and death impact. on contrast people, we hope that the result of the ongoing efforts of investigation by sweeting and denmark we plotted by the colds. and the security council will be able to discuss the issue on the ground based on the results of the investigation. in this regard,

we call on all parties to fully cooperate with ongoing investigation and provide credible information in a transparent manner. mister president, the time and the resource, if the security council, which is responsible for the peace on the security of the international community, not a limited, it must prioritize its efforts about where to allocate its resources. i thank you. i thank the representative of japan for the statement and i now give the floor to the representative of the united states. thank you, mr. president. and we thank under secretary general decarlo for her briefing. we listened carefully to the other briefers today. we recognize their past history in service, though we question their relevant knowledge to speak as an expert briefer, on the topic at hand. mister president,

the united states is deeply concerned by the sabotage that took place on north street, one in nor stream to pipelines to last september deliberate actions to damage critical infrastructure cannot be tolerated. but let's be clear why we are really here in the counsel today. later this week, as we near the one year anniversary, the general assembly will debate the impact of russia's illegal and full scale invasion of ukraine. today's meeting is a blatant attempt to distract from this as the world united this week to call for a just and secure peace in ukraine. consistent with the un charter. russia desperately wants to change the subject. this is not the 1st time where she has used it, seed on this council to amplify conspiracy theories from the internet. we

wish it would apply the same urgency shown over the past 3 days instead, to the myriad credible reports of human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law caused by its invading forces. however, let me state clearly and plainly accusations the united states was involved in this act of sabotage are completely false. the united states was not involved at all competent authorities in denmark, germany and sweden are investigating these incidents in a comprehensive, transparent, and impartial manner. resources for the you in investigations should be preserved

for cases when states are unwilling or unable to investigate. genuinely, let us not be fooled by russia's claim, it only wants impartial investigation. it's draft resolution clearly implicates the united states and mischaracterizing statements by u. s. officials wish it does not seek an impartial investigation. it seeks to prejudice ongoing ones toward a pre determined conclusion of its choosing the expedited timeline on which the russian delegation demanded. we discussed this issue. cast significant doubt on the seriousness of its intentions. the nor stream pipeline ruptures occurred 5 months ago. now, as we approached the one year anniversary of russia's full scale invasion of

ukraine, russia claims it is urgent. the counsel disgusted this week. russia, yet again, is abusing its position as a permanent member of the security council. by using this meeting as a platform for dis, information and conspiracy theories. it is regrettable that with everything else on the councils agenda this week, north korean ballistic missiles tension in the middle east. a humanitarian crisis in turkey and syria following devastating earthquakes that russia is again, deliberately wasting dis council's time. which has claim to be concerned over the sabotage of critical infrastructure rings hollow. for months, russia has relentlessly attacked its neighbor, striking cities and towns across ukraine, damaging and destroying residential areas and medical facilities,

which as attacks against ukraine civilian infrastructure have left families in ukraine without heat and electricity during the coldest, darkest period of the year. later this week, countries will vote in the general assembly on a resolution reaffirming the un charter and calling for an end to hostilities in ukraine in a manner consistent with the charter's principles. this should be our priority. instead of indulging conspiracy theories, we should focus on ways to diplomatically resolve this conflict in a way consistent with the un charter and fully restore the territorial integrity of a un member state. thank you mister president. i thank the representative of the united states for their statement, and i now give the floor to representative of albania. thank you, mister president. and i, thank you, judy kyler for her briefing. we listen carefully to the interventions of mister sax

and mr. bragg, govern on the matter. at the security council meeting on thursday, september last year, we expressed our deep concern regarding an apparent act of sabotage on the pipelines, nor stream one and nor stream 2. in the exclusive economic zones of denmark, sweden, in the baltic sea. such acts are unacceptable. we have welcomed the prompt response and we have supported the investigations initiated by the national authorities of denmark, germany and sweden, to determine the origin of the damage and the possible perpetrators. as confirmed by the letter sent today to the president of the security council by the permanent representatives of denmark, germany and sweden, the investigation is underway and we have full confidence on the respective authorities involved to make a real comprehensive and objective investigation on this case. we look forward to

the conclusions of the investigation. in this context, we do not see any need for parallel investigation by an international commission as asked for by the russian federation to overlap what is already going on. from what we heard today, there are no new facts, no new evidence, northrop fusion, just assumption. therefore, while we are and remain stun supporter of the freedom of speech and of held debates, we do not see the security council as a depository of conspiracy theories. we have deplored in the past and wish to reiterate that we should not misuse the time and resources of the council to boost bass. this narratives fed by a specific narrow interests. colleagues, the timing of the request for this meeting is no coincidence. the aim is to divert, in whatever way and with whatever means even with empty shells like this. the

attention from the events scheduled on the 1st anniversary of the russian military, aggression against ukraine. while attacking the bombing permanently and bombing permanently. the civilian and strategic infrastructure of ukraine, killing innocent people and making their life unbearable. russia is trying to mislead the international opinion by misusing the security council. this is why we believe that in this moment there is no need for a un security council resolution on this issue. instead, we call on the members of the security council in the wide un membership to fully support the resolution on comprehensive just and lasting peace in ukraine. that will be tabled in the general assembly this week and confirm once more that the un remains on the right side. a strong foundation for peace and progress against

aggression and regress. and i thank you. i think the representative of will be new for the statement and i now give the floor to the representative of brazil. thank you mister president. i would like to thank us g rosemary decarlo, professor jeffrey sachs and mr. ray mcgovern for their briefings. the press article that motivated our meeting today report serious allegations about last september's incidence on the north stream one and no upstream to pipelines. it is widely known, so there are claims that these incidents were acts of sabotage. nevertheless, the brazilian position on this issue remains the same as we expressed at the meeting called for shortly after the events. any response should be based on sound information and the results of impartial investigations. we ask other

members to proceed with caution in the face of assertions attribute to attributable to a single anonymous source. on the other hand, the seriousness of the allegations and the accusation of involvement of state actors in the episode must be given to consideration by this council. we understand the importance of secrecy to the success of investigations. but given the political implications of the incidents, we encourage greater transparency in the dissemination of established facts and restraint. in the propagation of unproven interpretations, only in this way will be possible for us to go beyond the field of speculation. brazil reiterates its concern about the consequences of the damage to the north stream pipelines which resulted in the worsening of the energy crisis, new europe,

and in serious long term economic losses. damage to regional energy infrastructure is particularly regrettable. we must also emphasize that harmful consequences for the environment need to be carefully assessed by the proper international bodies. brazil is ready to cooperate, to improve monitoring mechanisms with a view to preventing incidence with an impact on marine life and the level of greenhouse gas emissions. i thank you, mr. president. i thank the representative of brazil for the statement and i know give the floor to the representative of france. let's you pay, you know, let francis la has clearly stated its concern after the 2 underwater explosions that affected the gas pipelines north stream one and 2 in the baltic sea on the 27th of september. last, it is under our presidency of the security council that we met on the 13th of

september on the same subject. our assessment remains unchanged. these events are unprecedented and must be taken seriously. the situation is particularly serious, since the information available indicates that these explosions are the result of a deliberate act and have a human origin. investigations have been carried out by germany, denmark, and sweden. we have no reason to doubt the ernest nature of these procedures which are currently underway and which must be brought to a conclusion. and i would like to thank these 3 countries for the letter that they jointly addressed to the presidency of this council. giving the latest information on these investigations not lost. on the other hand, we have every reason to doubt the validity of the russian intervention. no emergency, nor any new credible information justifies the holding of such

a meeting. 5 months after the incident, one might also be surprised at the zeal shown by russia to have an investigation carried out on north stream. whilst they are doing everything that they can to prevent a mission of the secretariat being deployed in care of to inspect the day, the debris from iranian drones that are located there. while we are seen today is therefore a, an attempt to divert the attention of the international community since friday will mark the 1st anniversary of the war of aggression and least by russia against ukraine. thank you. thank the represent, i think the representative of france where their statement and a note of the floor to the representative of china. yes, and i thank you. hello val, professor, thank and mister macallan for their breathings.

the north steam gas pipelines major trans boundary infrastructure, an energy transportation artery pipelines, they're making the pin the last year had a major negative impact on a global energy, hockey and the logical environment. it also costs energy shortages for businesses and households in many european countries. this winter is increasingly clear that what happened to north stream pipelines was by no means an accident, but rather a deliberate human act. from the perspective of physical conditions. it's hard to imagine that any none stay actor would be capable of carrying out such destruction alone. and an open meeting of the council held last september. many countries call for an investigation into the incident to uncover the truth and identify those

responsible. this is also china's position. china support speeding up the investigation, so as to swiftly find out the truth. will live in an era of globalization when corporation man, countries in energy, transportation, and communication, is increasingly close and transform 3 construction fans across continents and oceans. any deliberate sabotage of transponder rig infrastructure is malicious, act. what alia to find out, why it happened, and who is behind the destruction, young who were sent a wrong cit. know to those mom with ill intention and make them believe that they can get away with whatever they do. an objective, rather impartial and professional investigation into this matter and pursuing

accountability until june, am built a release a day finding as soon as possible and not only related to the incident itself, but also bear on the security of global trans boundary infrastructure. moreover, they are also closely related to the interest and concerns of every country. as the most authoritative and risk representative international organization, the u. n. can play an active role in conducting an international investigation and assuring the security of transponder it infrastructure. china welcomes the draft resolution table by russia in the council, and believes that it is of great significance to authorize an international investigation into the sabotage of the north stream. pipelines recently would have come across a lot of details and relevant information concerning the lot stream incident and

the relevant information is alarming. the day, the briefers have also share with us important information and their reasonable analysis face with such detail materials and comprehensive evidence. a simple statement of what li force and complete fabric fiction is obviously not enough to answer the many questions and concerns res, around the world. one, finding a way to dodge today's meeting does not mean that tools can be concealed, that we expect convincing explanations from relevant parties. such a request is entirely legitimate. turn reasonable. mister president, the last stream incident reminds us that security threats in the modern world are

increasingly interlinked. transponder re and diversified. this course for the establishment of a common, comprehensive cooperative and sustainable security concept. multi pronged strategy . an integrated approach and coordinated security governance in order to meet various security challenges. chinese preston sheeting ping, propose a global security initiative which provides a new direction and new ideas for eliminating the root causes of conflicts break security predicament and maintaining common security. in the global security initiative, concept paper release by china today, elaborate the core concepts and principles of the initiative and provides an important path through the implementation of the initiative. our 20 key corporation

rise to serious safety and environmental concerns. all available information indicates that these leaks where result of a deliberate act. any deliberate disruption of energy infrastructure is dangerous under responsible, particularly in the midst of a global energy races. the weapon is asian of energy and infrastructure is unacceptable. the damage from these leaks threatened to deprive you rip of the key root of the delivery of a crucial energy source. furthermore, the damage placed increase strain on global energy markets, already affected by russia's war against crane. this impact not only the countries received energy through the new stream pipeline, but also has repercussions for developing countries around the world. the incident highlights the vulnerability of critical energy infrastructure. most underlines that solid parity with denmark, sweden, andrew, me,

and strongly supports the ongoing investigations to establish the full truth behind the leaks were welcome to let your circulated by denmark, street and germany. providing an update of these investigations more to once again condemns any deliberate destruction of energy infrastructure. let us not be distracted today from the share extent of the damage that trust. war of aggression has caused in ukraine, particularly to civilians. attacks directed against civilians and objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population are prohibited under international humanitarian law. more to condemn such attacks in the strongest possible terms. i now resumed my function as president of the come said. there are no more names inscribed on this list of speakers. the meeting is adjourned.
