Thank you, Madam President,

Guyana is gravely concerned about the dangerous trajectory of this conflict. Each day we hear more harrowing reports of the death and destruction brought upon innocent civilians who are bearing the brunt of this conflict. They did not ask for this war and they have little means of escaping it.

Statement delivered by H.E. Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, Permanent Representative of Guyana to the UN at the Security Council Briefing on “Security Council resolutions 1160 (1998), 1199 (1998), 1203 (1998), 1239 (1999) and 1244 (1999)” – Kosovo/UNMIK

Thank you, Madam President,

Madam President,

Statement delivered by His Excellency Dr. Michael Imran Kanu, Permanent Representative of Sierra Leone to the United Nations at the Security Council: “Explanation of vote after the vote on draft resolution; adoption of UNSOM transition to UNTMIS”

Madam President,

I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of A3 Plus members, namely: Algeria, Guyana, Mozambique and my own country Sierra Leone.

The A3 plus thanks the United Kingdom, for its constructive engagement, and extensive consultations during the negotiation process on the draft resolution authorizing the transition of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) to the United Nations Country Team (UNCT).

Statement delivered by Ms. Neishanta Benn, Minister Counsellor, during Security Council Arria Formula meeting on “Systematic Violations of IHL Committed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Territory of the Russian Federation"

Thank you, Chair,

The phrase “even wars have rules” is one that has been echoed many times since this war began and explains perfectly the reason for our meeting today.

These ‘rules of war’, or International Humanitarian Law (IHL), as they are more aptly called, apply equally to all parties to a conflict, and must be upheld under all circumstances.
