. >> the 9731st meeting of the security council is called to order. the provisional agenda for this meeting is maintenance of peace and security of ukraine. the agenda is adapted. i give the floor to our representative of the russian federation. >> mr. president? before we begin this meeting, i wish to draw attention to a number of issues which are of fundamental importance for the understanding of procedural issues. as is well known from the beginning in the program of work of the sloanian presidency for september, there were no high-level briefing on ukraine here. there was only a one meeting during the high-level week proposed by the presidency on a unifying issue, namely leadership for peace. this could have resulted in an interesting discussion building upon the question of enhancing the effectiveness of multilateral cooperation which we raised during our presidency of the security council in july. this could have been the case. however, clearly that will not be the case and this is because western countries could not refrain from poisoning the at

each of the non-members invited to today's meeting has been invited to participate in voice security council meetings on ukraine prior to this one and has already been considered by the council to meet the criterion of being specially affected. it is correct procedure to an invitation be extended to each of them again today. and leadership for peace remains on agenda again for tomorrow and all members to have united nations are invited to participate. i'd like -- i would like to welcome secretary general, distinguished president, ministers and other high-level representatives pretty in the security council chamber. your presence today jurisdiction scores the importance of the subject matter under discussion. in accordance with rule 57 of the rules of procedure, i invite representatives of denmark, germany, hungary, italy, lithuania, poland. and ukraine so participate in this meeting. it is so decided. in accordance with rule 59 of the traditional rules of procedure, i invite his excellencely, representative of the european union for foreign affairs and vice president of the foreign commissio

back in 2005 in 2015, kofeian proposed expanding the security council.erally agrees with this, but there are disagreements about who will work there under what rights. the group of four - germany, japan, india and brazil - believes that they are the ones who deserve to join the security council with the right of veto. not the least important issue in this case is the issue of financing, since japan and germany are among the main donors. in august of this year, the new secretary general antonio guterres complained that there are no representatives of africa in the security council, and the president who chaired the meeting sierra leone julius wada bio, stated directly that africa demands two permanent seats on the security council. india is a nuclear power and the world's largest democracy by population. india also has the world's third-largest armed forces and is an active peacekeeper. finally, another candidate is brazil, the largest country in latin america by population and the second-largest economy in the americas after the united states. the countr

politicians called for the creation of a mechanism to suspend russia's membership in the un security councilhe head of the european council charles michel stated that it is impossible to do this without amending the charter of the world organization. most of all, they talk about reforming the un security council. but, to be honest, this is not feasible within the framework of the current ones. you are right, it is extremely difficult, the last attempt, which was in 2005, ended in nothing, due to the clinching of two different proposals, the pact for the future contains the most decisive of all previous formulations regarding the need for reform, as well as a mandate, calling for action. the most obvious, the security council's solution is to include african states at the expense of new permanent members, since they are the ones who have historically been the most. they call it rules-based, in the us, the west, will establish their own order, in direct competition with the order that china, russia and a group of countries in the global south will advocate, others will balance between these tw

end did not happen in a vacuum, it is the inevitable result of the shameful inability of the security council to fulfill its responsibilities to put an end to the war that has been raging for a whole year in gaza. we have, we in egypt have have repeatedly warned that the continuation of the war in the gaza strip will... lead to its spilling over to other regional areas and it would threaten international peace and security throughout the entire middle east and we say it very clearly and honestly what we have been witnessing over the past year in gaza and what we are witnessing now in lebanon is likely to expand to other areas in the region if the international community does not shoulder its responsibility to put an end to the machine of death and destruction. and partial rules, partial solutions and palliative policies will not do, it is no longer acceptable to move ahead without the full implementation of security council resolution 1701, it must be fully implemented with no selection and with no discrimination between the different parties addressed in the resolution, there must be immedia

one supplies advanced weaponry prevention, multiple security council resolutions, only prolonging the suffering of the lebanese people. well, here's the wrong, continue to undermine evidence. future u. k is providing practical support to both the instability and security. this includes funding and training to both the lebanese on forces and internal security forces, as well as humanitarian assistance. developable communities, including in the south of living in the president. now is the time for com heads and an urgent focus on an immediate cease fire to create the space for negotiations . thank you. i things that are presented to fault doing that, taking them for their statements. i give to the representative of the trance, which you would mister president. i think madam, the carlo and mister turk for their briefings, and i wish to welcome the presence among us of the minister for foreign affairs of 11 on friends is gravely concerned following the explosions of telecommunications devices on the 17th and the 18th of september and living on the risk of open war with the potentially tra

the countries of the saw held confederation already appealed to the security council on august 28th of this year. and we expect a decisive response in this regard. mr. chairman, in light of the operational security challenges in the saw how burkina faso, molly and nigeria have decided under conditions of absolute sovereignty. on september 16th 2023 to establish a military alliance of the health states wanted on monday. we also saw the news here and for administer equity in the same sentiments as his counterparts. also saying that to no state tore into a state organization the solitude, tate, to see what conduct to adopt to the left alone it's agenda into strategic to for magic partnerships. and according to the minister, she says, well, poor countries continue to live in pover cheap. the rich aligning their pockets with the african countries for sources supporting some of the serve you, regina resumes, dr. richard dickson, and times the countries into total suffering. meanwhile, the international community stands aside and signed new stuff, which once again demonstrates the double sent

at this point, the un security council does not represent the world. so yes, that should be ashamed. it is a dysfunctional entity that may be in the inclusion of other nations, might actually make it less dysfunctional. let me ask you to, to respond to martin kimani, who is the former king and ambassador to the united nations. and he writes, how does having one or 2 african countries with veto power further collective african interest by the time, africa, tears itself, a part politically to choose those 2 countries, a fight that will be gone by global powers. we will end up with deep division, possibly in perpetuity, u. n. s. c. reform must be preceded by major african union reform, your thoughts and reaction to that ambassador t home board with all due respect. i disagree with the brands uh uh severely. i think i must be in the tables. we must be where decisions are being made. we must be in a position to also disagree or agree on global issues. yes, well, i understand the dysfunction among us as africans and african union. i always say this, that at

said at the un security council meeting uh the un security council uh because he hasn't done much since the onslaught on october the 7th till now uh it's undermarining his credibility well um its credibility has been um has been lost a long time ago i think the un is something of a joke but uh norman finkelstein the other day that uh scholar said an interview that israel had become a lunatic state, rabbid freak, incapable of reason, that's a a quote, and i think this is about correct, and and he advocated for something has to be done by the people of the world to stop, because israel is not going to stop, and the... strategy here, the tension that exists is that israel wants a wider war, they want to drag the entire region into a war, they are counting on the united states, helping them, which they're already doing, but helping them more directly, supplying intelligence weapons and even soldiers, uh, the us is probably reluctant to do that given shortages of armaments and ammunition and soldiers as well, but that's that's the goal, and and so the the calculus involved for iran, lebanon

the president of ukraine in the security council, let's listen.a is again trying to destroy our energy, and starting this fall, they are acting even more cynically, they are preparing to attack our three nuclear power plants, and we have proof of it. if russia is ready to enter like this far. it means that none of what we value. you appreciate, it doesn't matter to moscow, this kind of russian cynicism will continue to strike if it is given any place in its own right. mrs. ivano, russia is a member of the un security council, and this statement, which was made by our president, should obviously prompt members of the security council to pass some resolution or warning. to his colleagues in the security council, the russians, but this did not happen, and it is unlikely that it will happen, will zelensky be heard in the un security council, and in the un itself, and whether we should wait for some decisions or at least in some perspective, because when the president of the country says that the aggressor is trying to hit nuclear power plants, it mean

that was um najib uh mikazi, the uh lebanese prime minister there at the special un security council session on situation in lebanon after. 22 hours of unrelenting air strikes uh by the israeli regime against uh lebanon, it's resulted already in over 600 fatalities and 20 injuries, mostly all civilians. mikati said the urge security council to immediately ramp up pressure against the israeli regime to stop its attacks on lebanon saying that our sovereignty must be respected. he also said that the lebanese app the instability and violence, the israel regime is... inflicting on the regime and um he uh said that the security council has to do its job under its charter and stop the regime from its acts of violence and aggression. we're following this uh security council session very closely here on press of so for the latest do stay tuned basically like many uh islamic leaders uh regimes they use palestine when whenever they need to kind of get popularity uh kind of... boost by the population, but they don't really support palestine, not the same way that iran does, not the same way that

i call upon the members of the security council to stand on the right side of history, to defend justice and peace and to support lebanon in its effort to achieve stability and security. this is the moment of truth. and we are resorting to the justice of the united nations and counting on your credibility. either this council compels israel to stop its aggression and implement security council resolutions. 1901 and 2735 and end its war on all fronts, allow the return of the displaced to their villages, or we will be silent witnesses to the great explosion that is looming on the horizon, today and before it is too late, you have to understand that this explosion will spare neither east nor west and will take us back to the dark ages. is in front of you and resolutions 1701 and 2735 are in your drawers, the choice is yours, will your august council intervene swiftly and decisively to silence the drums of war threatening the middle east or will we stand idly looking? the choice is yours and you have to choose between peace and fire. i am here to rep we are emidst a conflict and i repeat, gi

he said the un security council had failed to achieve its most important objective, which is maintaining international peace and security. he criticized israel for its military actions against hamas in lebanon saying that thousands of palestinian civilians were killed in gaza and that lebanon faced a new page of brutal aggression and regional conflict. this is about 20 minutes. were killed and lebanon faced a new page of regional conflict. this is about 20 minutes. and when it's incapable of achieving the goals for which it was founded. these goals include the maintenance of international security and stability in human rights. today we are witnessing precedents in which all international charters and norms are being violated. the international institutions that they are supposed to contribute to managing and organizing international relations in a way that enhances peace and stability in enhances human relations away from violence and brutal treatment are being neutralized. important principles such as sovereignty, territorial integrity, multilateral cooperation, the laws of war, and th

european politicians called for the creation of a mechanism to suspend russia's membership in un security council. however, the head of the european council charles michel stated that it is impossible to do this without amending the charter of the world organization. most of all, they talk about reforming the un security council, because , frankly, this is not feasible within the framework of the current procedures. you are right, it is extremely difficult. the last attempt, which was in 2005, ended in nothing due to the clinching of two different proposals. the pact for the future contains the most decisive of those previous formulations regarding the need for reform, as well as a mandate. of course, not all permanent members of the security council are happy about the prospect of expanding its membership, but you need to take a sober look at what you can lose if instead of the current system there is complete anarchy without the un and its security council, then there will be no veto at all, and i think we are still approaching a situation. seem most serious, well, for example, by the un centen

should have prompted the members of the security council to pass some kind of resolution or warning heir colleagues in the council of security, the russians, but this did not happen, and it is unlikely that it will happen, whether zelensky will be heard. in the un security council and in the un itself and whether we should wait for some decisions or at least in some perspective, because when the president of the country talks about the aggressor trying to hit nuclear power plants, it means that security in the world, not only in ukraine is under threat. well, today president zelensky repeated this information during his speech also at the united nations general assembly, and this is a very, very serious statement, this is very serious uh-uh disturbing information that. presented to the world by president zelenskyi, and it is obvious that they would like to be concerned, well, not just the expression of concern there or the pressure of one or other countries in their statements on the russian federation and its partners or how to put it , i don't even know how to say it in relation to

n members of joined coles full of were full of, of the security council. or main issue focuses on giving permanent seats to africa and latin america, neither of which are commonly represented. the policies, political correspondent, eagle pins going off can tell us a little about what's in the jail from the world's top 4. the process for administer surgical laboratories arrives in new york city. i'm in the high level week of the 79 sessions. i'll see you in general assembly debates already in full swing here in new york with ukraine and the violence in the middle east being among the issues discussed however, there's another story one. and that is reforming the united nations. recently the united states, which is among the 5 permanent members of the un security council, said that they're open to the idea of having 2 african seats at the security council without 0 power. however, washington says that's a veto mix in the work of the security council, dysfunctional. now on tuesday speaking here at the united nations, the, the president of south africa, also ca

, this unequivocally, the un security council itself needs to be reformed so that it does nothappen again that the aggressor, as you rightly say, decides, sits first in the security council, and secondly, makes which decisions? how to make the whole nightmare the world, how to continue to scare the world with a nuclear meeting, like putin, you know, everything failed, he realized that he will never defeat ukraine, and again he grabs that nuclear stick and rewrites the doctrine, for whom, intimidating, in fact, if you ask me, i'm sure that all this is putin's doctrinal fever only for his own citizens to intimidate, show, and a lot of other things, you know, in the kursk region there is no need to explain. i will explain to you what kind of supernuclear missiles we have there, well, we will all listen to putin for now, because i will explain to our tv viewers, maybe some of you didn't notice, but yesterday the self-proclaimed president, let's say, the president of russia, putin held the council of the security council and they discussed the expansion of the russian doctrine of n

when well the security council, the body entrusted with primary responsibility for the maintenance ofthe international law-based order. it has been eight years since the council adopted resolution 2334. since then, israel has ignored and violated the resolution, just like every other resolution, persisting in its breaches of the charter, of the most fundamental rules of international law and of the... terminations of the council, should the security council give in, surrender to israel's colonial will, or should it deploy the necessary means to ensure respect for its resolutions and international law. i repeat as i have said so many times before, you have the tools, you have the power, you have the mandate to... force your resolutions and to enforce international law, will you act on such basis or will you continue to drag your feet and abuse one country here and one country there? let me say it again, palestinians wants to live, not merely to survive, they want to be safe in their homes, they want their children to go to school. without fear, palestinians want to be free in reality a

really in international justice cannot be left in the will of 5 privilege member states of the security council. and the most dramatic example to that is the war, the master code that has been going on in garza for the last 350 days and the other system cools approving for reforming the council. of course, this is day, one of the speeches we've seen, the deed is already sounding the alarm and many issues. and one thing that is immediately noticeable is how much oxygen garza and labor non taking up right now. as these would you describe that in your as well. the global south has gathered to support palestine and you and reforms, nato and e. u. member states have flocked it to the special session on ukraine. coinciding with zelinski is us visit russian ambassador to the un facility in the bend. z a has called out the west for using security council as a platform to exercise and to moscow rhetoric is what is needed. so the western countries can't resist poisoning the atmosphere once again trying to fill the air with the ukrainian narrative. the only reason they summoned this meeting was to provide

criticizing the security council's in action on israel's violations, the iraqi prime minister says the regime's aggression against lebanon proves this disregard for un resolutions, and the israel's indiscriminous price claim more civilian lives across gaza, increasing the genocidal war. death toll to over 41,500. hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in tehron. thank you for joining us. the israely war on lebanon has claimed more civilian lives. as intense clashes are on the way between the regime's military and the lebanese resistance movement, hezbulah. the israeli army struck the capital bayroot, killing two people and injuring 15 others. lebanon's disaster risk management unit said on thursday that 60 people were killed by the israeli strikes over the past 24 hours, bringing the total killed in the country since monday to nearly 700. reports also say more than 90 thousand people have been displaced. meanwhile has has carried out retaliatory strikes against israeli targets deep inside the occupied territories, including the upper galileo, acray and hafa. 80

and this is you that there is an urgent need to reform that the security council, africa is the main victim of a historic injustice. and the lack of implementation of international law because advocate is the only consonant that does not have permanent representation on the council. clearly so far, the 1st 3 days of the 17, 9th, the un general assembly has been quite eventful. i'm sure there is more to come and of course will be here at the united nations headquarters in new york, monitoring all the latest developments. right, or take or respond to a girl who's going off viagra. thank you. who are turning now to the middle east, where the idea of says it has eliminated the hezbollah air force commander during a striked on beverage. the militant group has not commented on whether mohammed whose same store has in fact been killed earlier has. but i did confirm that 2 of the senior commanders were assassinated along with 14 others in previous strikes. the israeli prime minister says, forces will press on with the assault on 11 on during the flight. i approve the illumination of the head

, said that they're open to the idea of having 2 african seats at the security council without 0 power. however, washington says that's a veto mix of the work of the security council, dysfunctional. now on tuesday speaking here at the united nations, the, the president of south africa, also called for the need to reform the un saying that africa is ready to play its role in building a safer global order. the u. n. a security concept must be formed as a metal agents would like to see the security concept would be more inclusive, so that the voices of all nations can be had. and the coincidence that cannot remain an exclusive job of just 5 nations to the exclusion of the many nations in the world operate, cost tens, ready to play its role in building a se fog? no, but order by participating in the work of the un security council on the basis of respect and acceptance. it's not only south africa and nigeria is also calling for the need for african leaders to have permit and representation at the un security council brooks countries. specifically india and brazil are also seeking f

to console seems to be quiet due to the division or rather the less coughing cosivity in the security council. and basically saying that the council is holding forth office mandates. and as the primary custodian of the maintenance of international peace and security . so the you in must be reformed as a metal urgency because it has not fulfilled if obligations the un security concept must be reformed. s, a metal agency would like to see the security concept would be more inclusive so that the voices of all nations can be had and be considered. it cannot remain an exclusive job of just 5 nations to the exclusion of the many nations in the world. are precautions ready to play its role as in building a safe, our global order? by participating in the work of the un security council? on the basis of respect and acceptance, even more than the saving to use since its founding, the structure of the security council remains lots of the unchanged and that it is key is activities no longer fits an adequate to address some modern day challenges that has been manual and he does have said that to the causa

let's start our conversation with what volodymyr said.' at the un security council, the president ofaine said that our country has evidence of russia's intentions to strike on three nuclear power plants on the eve of winter, and as and what the president of ukraine said in the security council, let's listen: russia is again trying to destroy our energy industry, and from this fall, they are acting even more cynically, they are preparing. and we have proof of that. if russia is willing to go this far, it means that... none of what we value, what you value, matters to moscow , this kind of russian cynicism will continue to backfire if it is given any room for its own. mrs. ivano, russia is a member of the un security council, and this one the statement that was made by our president, obviously, should have prompted members of the security council to adopt some kind of... resolution or warning to their security council colleagues to the russians, but this did not happen and it is unlikely that it will happen, whether zelensky will be heard in the un security council, and in the un, and

the refusal to deliver humanitarian aid, the famine of people, we... believe that indeed, the security council is responsible for what is happening on the west bank in the gaza strip, the issue directly concerns international security and stability, this is precisely the sphere direct responsibility of the un security council, so of course we believe that it is necessary for the security council to carry out these responsibilities in order to facilitate a ceasefire. ceasefire agreement, this issue cannot be left to the mercy of one of the parties, only, this is unacceptable, as far as lebanon is concerned, we have repeatedly condemned, any attempts to violate the sovereignty of the territorial integrity of lebanon, we completely reject this and... to increase escalation in the region, so that this conflict escalates into a regional war, this is very dangerous trends, therefore we and egypt, as a country that historically had weight and a role in the region, we feel our responsibility to... prevent this escalation and we call for the assistance of the international community, because, because t

the organization delivered but did not vote in the security council. and palestine only became an observer member of the united nations. about 5 months ago, while 12 of the 15 members of the security council voted in favor of palestine's full membership in the united nations. the united states once again took action and vetoed palestine's membership . the inaction of the united nations becomes more clear when the security council has not been able to act effectively in the last year and with the continuation of the zionist crimes in gaza. to stop the war. with all this, but perhaps the only incentive for member states to participate in the annual meeting of the united nations general assembly, the meetings both sides should be on the sidelines of this meeting and use this place to say their words. mojtaba shah soni, sed and sima news agency. jihad against the current of hypocrisy, jihad against the current of influence, jihad with the domination system is in no way less than the holy defense jihad, the late reza siraj, you may have seen him in the nati

come on the, his face remains on click on where on as the un security council is expected to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the growing crisis in 11 on. meanwhile, the bloodshed continues in gaza, at least the scene, palestinians are killed, the fine is rarely strikes. the welcome to the program is 19 g m t 10 pm. local liberties capital by roots where it is rarely miss solves, have hit and killed. at least 14 people wounding over 60 others. they are strong, says a crowded residential area in the city southern suburbs destroying 2 buildings is rarely military says it targeted and killed one of his bullets, my senior commanders, abraham a q as well that has not confirmed his death to meanwhile, as well as 5 at least 200 missiles from 11 onto ed's northern israel since late friday morning. as well as the defense intercepted several of the missiles with no injuries reported. let's go straight to all correspondent dosage of ours. she joins us live at the scene of the is riley strike, which took place in bay rouge a few hours ago. so, devastating attack the said attack by israel and

is clear, and the un security council itself must be reformed so that it no longer happens thatggressor, as you rightly say, makes decisions sitting, firstly in the security council, and secondly, makes decisions that , how to continue to terrorize the whole world, like me... to continue to scare the nuclear assembly, like putin, you know, everything failed, he realized that he will never defeat ukraine, and again he grabs that nuclear stick and rewrites the doctrine for whom, intimidating in fact, if you asked me, i'm sure it's all doctrinal putin's fever is only for his own citizens to intimidate, to show, well, and many other things, you know, there is no need to explain in the kursk region, i will explain to you what kind of supernuclear missiles we have there. let's listen to putin, because i'm going to explain to our television viewers, maybe some of you haven't noticed, but yesterday the president, the self-proclaimed, let's say, the president of russia, putin held the security council, and they were looking at the expansion of the russian doctrine of nuclear deterrence t

najib mkhi urged the security council to take a firm stance to stop the israeli aggression on lebanon. the head of the hezbollah's executive council sayid hashim safioddin has also vowed the strong response to the israeli terrorism. on tuesday, thousands of pages exploded over the course of an hour across lebanon. a day later, more wireless devices, including walkie-talky, radios, mobile phones and laptops exploded as well. journalists and political activist or analyst, marwa osman joined us earlier to expand on the israeli aggressions in lebanon and across the palestinian. territories, let's take a listen, let me remind you that they call themselves the most moral army in the world, this is coming from the most moral army in the world, the the army that have over the past almost 11 and a half months completely annihilated 2.5 million in the population of gaza, it is not a surprise that they would go this far, but it is a surprise that they would invest such time and effort to uh literally break. every law that is known to humans, because they believe that they are above the law, this

and so there's been a lot of talk in the security council. we've heard full points of view, but what we have on to is a concrete tangible proposal or a piece of paper ad saying this is what we should do to de escalate this conflict with a view to ending it for a period of time. that is not to hasn't been forthcoming. perhaps it is something that may be false coming in the days ahead. we do understand the us said that it is working on such a proposal with other parties. fronds is understood to be making discussions with various interested parties. so if anybody is hard at work, but at the moment it has been a lot of tools, but no tangible, concrete resolution to how this situation can be de escalated. but my cannot in new york a thank you very much for that. all speaking audio, liberty's prime minister, and the jeep mccarty said israel was violating its sovereignty. he called them to you in to put pressure on israel for an immediate cease file layout. the models on 11 on is not asking for charity. we're asking for a legitimate rights pursuance

we've had some real serious talk about security council reform. and in fact, that was part of the pact for the future. that was signed off unanimously by the majority of member states of the united nations on the weekend before this you and general assembly started. they said we as a world body and as the members of the united nation agree, there needs to be security council reform. talking about at least 3 permanent spots on the security council for countries from africa. as well as expanding perhaps the security council itself, even the united states, which has been reluctant to, to give up its veto power. and by the way, they still have said they will not give up the retail power. even the united states has agreed to and put up for the proposal about supporting at least 3 african countries to be permanent members of the security council, as well as a small island nation on a rotating basis. so this all comes back to guys, and that is why it is talk on re security council reform has wrapped up so much because clearly the security council has fai

the veto was already embedded in the security council structure. the 5 permanent members with gone to the state just because of their importance after the 2nd world war and supported lead to ensure that major powers would act together to maintain international peace and security. but today israel continues it's on gaza with no you and intervention. and resolutions coming before the security council of be towed by the united states. just as this has vetoed the past, the majority of prior resolutions sanctioning israel for its illegal occupation of palestinian territory. us once to enlarge the security council, but it will not budge on his refusal to give up the veto while criticizing russia for using it. you have a country, a permanent member of the security council who has broken every single tenant of the charter by invading a neighbour actually compromising the sovereignty of that country in the borders of that country. and that country sits on the security council with the tow rushes war against ukraine continues unchecked. any action contemplat

is striking new blows to the authority of the security council. we understand the presence of representatives from ukraine and from the european countries bordering ukraine. but what does lithuania germany, denmark, italy have to do with it? for them, this is just an opportunity to get into a tv picture and practice anti russian rhetoric. the council will be forced to listen to the b c's of the you and nato members written in brussels, which do not add any value to the discussions at all. and we will know what are the ones they use, the platform to speak out against any piece to oxy claims. the only way out of the conflict is to compel moscow to accept the key terms you arrest or rejected the plan? well, some of the cranes supporters question the strategy and don't place much of the face in its viability was cross live now to url rasmussen retired lieutenant colonel and the international security consultant are going to have you on the program with us versus you in a mass that are set among other comments that zalinski is ready to push the world i

a security council on the basis of respect and acceptance. it's not only south africa and nigeria is also calling for the need for african leaders to have permanent a representation at the un security council brooks countries. specifically, india and brazil are also seeking for permanent seats ad. so the security council with the brazilian president saying that the fact that the african and latin american countries are not represented at the security council as an echo from colonial times after 4 my phone due to sunday and was found that there were 51 countries today there are 1935, and several nations mainly on the african continent. what on the colonial rule, and has no say its objectives and operations. we need to contemplate a comprehensive review of the child to the exclusion of latin america and africa from permanent seats on the security council is a non acceptable echo of domination from the colonial costs to the support of no rush has been repeatedly calling for the global south country, his voice is to be heard and foreign minister

following the councils adoption of un security council resolution 17 o one. and 2006 as well as built up of weapons, many of which are supplied by iran and its presence along the blue line. in defiance of resolutions 15591701 has long been a source of instability. nobody wants to see a repeat of the full blown war that occurred in 2006. but the past to enduring stability goes beyond indian cross blue line strikes. it must end with a comprehensive understanding relating to the blue line that has real implementation mechanisms. as we learned in 2006 diplomacy is most effective when the international community unites with a shared goal and speaks with one voice. we are working with other countries on a proposal that we hope will lead to come in and able discussions to a diplomatic solutions. we encourage the security council to lend it support for these diplomatic efforts in the coming days. colleagues, even as we work to avert abroad of war, we have been clear that israel has the right to defend itself against his bull as the tax to include the escrow a tory ba

we're there at the un, security council immediate uh session session um addressing the uh situation in lebanon. we're on day three of unrelenting israeli air strikes on lebanese people that have resulted in over 560 fatalities uh including 50 children, 100 women over 200 lebones injured over half million displaced in. just three uh days number of world leaders they're imploring immediate cessation of hostilities, a full withdraw of israeli uh forces from uh lebanese territory and also immediate cease fire in the gaza strip uh tony we don't have much time i was going to give a recap but i'd rather get your final thoughts we only have a couple minutes uh tony thank you for your patience the entire world so many world leaders at the general assembly it was all about gaza immediate ceasefire. captives go home uh here we are at the un security council immediate demand of media sessation of hostilities in uh lebanon but seriously who is listening in tel aviv? and washington when the entire world is speaking against you, well uh, it's not the entire world, because uh, many of the five eyes in

the security council, africa is the main victim of a historic injustice. and the lack of implementation of international law because advocate is the only continent that does not have permanent representation on the council. now if some nations are pursuing permanent membership at the un security council, heidi has now demanded repub creations from france. back in the 19th century, the nation used to be a french colony and they had to pay fair is $21000000000.00 us dollars in order to gain independence. now, according to the haitian representative of that payment, throws the countries development for generations. and now it's time for compensation. so it's fair to say so far, the 1st 3 days of the year in general assembly have been quite eventful. surely more is to come and we'll be here at the headquarters of the united nations, bringing you all the latest details of the german grain party has come up shore and failed to secure its place and to regional elections dealing a major blow to the ruling coalition. they are known for pushing the unpopular positio

, that africa should be represented in the security council. therefore, i have two questions, how should the african union build its relations with international organizations, on the other hand, if a decision is made on the representation of africa in security, do you think it will be represented by the african union? or by one of the african countries, to which powers will be delegated to all african unions. in our opinion, the debate on the reform of the united nations continues too long. it is absolutely abnormal and unfair that 54 states with a population of 1,400 million people are not represented on the united nations security council. this is a historical injustice that must be corrected. the african union has a common position - the ezulwini consensus, which it presented, and we regret that the discussions are dragging on when current events require us to act and act quickly. today's climate challenges, economic and the financial crisis, issues of peace, stability and the fight against terrorism and extremism, these are priorities that

the un security council is meeting to discuss the worsening situation in the middle east, including israel's attacks on gas have going to be taking don line the is really shutting across the 11 and has killed at least 81 people on wednesday and wounded more than 200, at least 650 people have been killed across lebanon since monday when israel intensified it's from boston and us president joe biden has won that on all loud war. and the middle east is possible. is ready. prime minister benjamin as in young ones that israel will not stop its operations until people in northern israel can safely return to their homes. as it was on the chief says they're preparing for a possible ground invasion of 11. i don't, i'm sure we will continue. we're not stopping, we keep striking and hitting them everywhere, but the goal is very clear to safely retain the residence of the north. to achieve that, we are preparing the process of a maneuver which means your military boots well into enemy territory into villages that has the law as far paid as large military outposts with underground infrastructure staging

the un general assembly of his wake up in making that case for a full reform of the security council. currently the council, which is supposed to maintain global peace and secure so it has 5 permanent members, none of them from africa. just 2 weeks ago, the u. s. and as to what support the creation of 2 permanent seats for african countries for the push for shakeup is fall from $7.00 to $6.00. same range territory lead tech from a. yeah, it is. director of the atlanta counsels africa center. she's sending these ball and french publication with years of experience and international politics. a welcome to the w. why does the security account so why does the security council need a permanent african presence rather than say, locked in american? as you know, i, i just returned from the united nations general assembly in new york where of course, many off against a tool to buy these uh, willingness of the space to support the creation of these 2 permanents these for africa. i think it makes sense given the demographic rise of, of, of african countries. you know, demographically speaking, a

he says that the modern security council needs to be more inclusive . the u. n. a security concept must be formed as a metal agency. we'd like to see the security concept would be more inclusive, so that the voices of all nations can be heard and be considered. it cannot remain an exclusive job of just 5 nations to the exclusion of the many nations and the world operate cost ends ready to play its role in building a safer global order by participating in the wake of the un security council. on the basis of respect and acceptance. so obviously it's not only south africa, nigeria, india, and brazil from latin america are all calling for the need to extend the security council and for their representatives to the the rush is on the same page with them as well. for and this elaborate has been saying that the security council needs to have permanent representatives from asia, africa, and latin america. because the general assembly debate, this is the only event taking place in new york today. i will know, can you tell us besides the general assembly were expecting 2 se

now it's my understanding to, to that tonight, the iranian, the national security council was meeting an, an emergency that tells me that there's something very serious and ominous about ready to happen. so iran may ultimately get into the fray. and i think that this ups the ante and i think that house below, from here on as a result of this targeting wants and targeting of civilians as well. now start targeting civilians centers in there as well. any. what are your thoughts to michael's point that he made earlier that that has not been a comment yet from hezbollah or the lebanese government on the attack? do you agree that, that significant would we expect a reaction soon? or that is good evening. guys think it's a normal situation for him is ready to go to this point because it's an automatic arizona to, as the response to from it on. and it has been that about with just as a nation's in and they've been on. and so i was a living and this nation all smart anita in the quarter over on i think is really want to destroy it, or is that is a sense from its roots. and it's now succeeded t
