Statement by H.E. Mr. Sergey V. Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, at the 67th Session of the UN General Assembly

Distinguished Mr. President,

Ladies and gentlemen,

For over a year and a half the situation in the Middle East and North Africa has been a nerve knot of the global politics. The deep changes that have swept over the region, intertwine with the key problems of the modern international relations and require everyone to use a comprehensive approach, to reject simplified and ideology-driven patterns and double standards.

Statement by Mr. Alexander A. Pankin, Charge d'affaires of the Russian Federation to the United Nations on agenda item 33 for the 67th session of the General Assembly on "Prevention of armed conflict"

2013-05-15

Mr. President,

The Russian delegation regrets the submission for adoption by the UN General Assembly of extremely harmful and destructive draft resolution on the conflict in Syria. It is obvious that the authors are not thinking about searching for a political ways to settle the crisis and ignore the situation not only within the country, but also around it. In fact, this draft resolution is aimed to push through the UN one-sided and running against the international law intents to replace the official authorities in the Syrian Arab Republic and achieve the well-known narrow geopolitical goals.

Statement by H.E. Ambassador Vitaly I. Churkin, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, during the Security Council Meeting on the post-conflict peacebuilding

2013-04-25

Mr. Chairman,
The chief task of peacebuilding is to eliminate the root causes of conflicts and preventing their resurgence. All of that must be primarily based on States’ internal efforts, since in that area the role of the United Nations and regional organizations is one of support for national efforts. Peacebuilding assistance, given its long-term nature, should provide incentives for national Governments to rely on their own strengths.
