It is an important opportunity to reinforce the indispensability of transparency and accountability to the entire Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ membership \u2013 to ensure the responsible use of veto power.<\/p>\n<p>In this spirit, I welcome the Security Council\u2019s timely submission of the mandated special report \u2013 a record that is a testament to our dedication not only to dialogue but to actionable answerability.<\/p>\n<p>The situation in the Korean Peninsula is disquieting, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>It demands an urgent commitment to de-escalate tensions \u2013 and a renewed pledge to cultivate an atmosphere conducive to genuine dialogue and authentic cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>I used the occasion of my visit to the Republic of Korea last October to appreciate firsthand the situation along the demilitarized zone.<\/p>\n<p>While my visit was characterized by a period of relative quietness, the briefing I received depicted a highly tense and fragile situation \u2013 with no one able to predict when the next missile or rocket launch would occur.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital that the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea immediately engage in dialogue without preconditions, adhering to its international obligations \u2013 including the immediate cessation of ballistic missile launches.<\/p>\n<p>The recurrent launches are in clear violation of Security Council resolutions \u2013 and jeopardise regional and international peace and security. I hereby echo the strong call for the DPRK to fully comply with these binding obligations.<\/p>\n<p>Further, I express my support for the invaluable efforts and the integrity of the Panel of Experts assisting the Committee established pursuant to Security Council Resolution 1718 of 2006.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when the goal of complete nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation is increasingly in danger, we cannot afford to let our guard down \u2013 nor can we overlook any violations of Security Council resolutions related to this matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without any exceptions \u2013 without any exceptions \u2013 resolutions of the Security Council must be upheld and implemented \u2013 and violations must be documented and urgently addressed, whenever they occur.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Concerns regarding denuclearization extend beyond regional boundaries to the global realm \u2013 assuming a truly existential significance.<\/p>\n<p>The spectre of nuclear conflict \u2013 with its potential for total annihilation \u2013 must compel us to move from rhetoric to rigorous verification and tangible action.<\/p>\n<p>And in the journey towards a world free of nuclear threats, the General Assembly has a pivotal role to play in support of the Security Council\u2019s mandate \u2013 in rallying all actors to transcend aspirations and achieve concrete outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>As we chart this path forward, let us resist the temptation to mirror divisions within the Security Council \u2013 especially at the delicate juncture of heightened geopolitical tensions and eroded trust and solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, let us embrace moments offered by the convenings under the veto initiative as an opportunity to be solutions-oriented \u2013 to wield our collective wisdom, resources, and resolve in the service of peace, security, and disarmament.<\/p>\n<p><em>Excellencies,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Distinguished Delegates,<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I close by calling upon every Member State to reflect on how the General Assembly can constructively contribute to mitigating the looming threats to our collective security \u2013 and in advancing the ambitious objective of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.<\/p>\n<p>That is: <em>How do we envisage our progression? What innovative approaches can you employ to bridge divides and forge consensus on nuclear disarmament?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The summary of today\u2019s critical debate will not only be a record, but also serve as an important signal \u2013 transmitted to the President of the Security Council and to all Member States \u2013 affirming our relentless collective pursuit of peace and security in every corner of our world.<\/p>\n<p>It was under this very agenda item that my predecessor \u2013 the President of the General Assembly for its 76th session, Abdullah Shahid \u2013 convened the first ever plenary debate of the General Assembly under the veto initiative, in May 2022.<\/p>\n<p>While divisions in the Security Council clearly persist, I call upon all 193 members of this General Assembly to instead unite in a resounding call for disarmament, non-proliferation, and dialogue \u2013 recognizing that our shared future hinges upon our collective resolve to dismantle barriers and foster understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Let us forge a path towards a world in which peace and security reign supreme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* ***
