“Once again, the US's veto demonstrated a policy of it's my way or the highway. Palestine could only be a country the way the United States sees it, or Israel sees it, only at the time that it's suitable to the United States and within the geopolitics and the global interest of the United States. The US is sacrificing the freedom of Palestinian people for egotistical and narrow interests of the United States and Israel.”

“[The UN envoy to Sudan] believes pressure from others is important. The African Union, regional grouping IGAD, Arab League, all of these bodies are talking with various players and in particular with the two generals, trying to get a ceasefire in place. There's talk of mediation missions … making their way as delegations to try to speak to the generals to try to get that ceasefire. The problem with that - airspace is closed, borders are closed and it's simply too dangerous for them to travel at this stage. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but they're not bearing much fruit this time and clearly that's deeply concerning for the people of Sudan.”

“Beyond the re-appointment of Kyaw Moe Tun in the UN, Russia is being difficult to work with [in terms of reaching a consensus in the international community to pressure the regime] and is publicly backing the junta. China seems to be consolidating its support for the regime as well. It's different from 2021. They provide tangible support for the junta, whereas those who support the resistance and the anti-coup movement are more rhetorical in their support.”

“What we need to understand is that in Libya, through a previous power-sharing agreement, there are two legislative houses. There's the parliament based in eastern Libya, and there's the high council of state in the west. The two legislative bodies are supposed to agree on a new government to replace the unity government of Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibeh. But the appointment of Bashagha [Fathi Bashagha] raised eyebrows regarding the transparency of the process. There was a lot of scepticism with regards to how transparent the vote was and how legitimate it was. Even the UN support mission voiced concerns that the vote of confidence in Bashagha was flawed. A lot of people see Bashagha as a traitor, who aligned himself with someone who has destroyed their homes and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. I've been talking to security officials and residents in Tripoli and what they're telling me is really that this was a message to those that are supporting Bashagha: You can't just come to Tripoli and assume power.”

“When it comes to Kazakhstan, there's been the usual call for diplomacy. Kazakhstan abstained from the vote at the UN on the Ukrainian issue but we haven't seen open support for Russia's position. Going forward we can see more concerted pressure on Kazakhstan to take a stronger stance. Only yesterday, the news came that Kazakhstan can no longer export its oil through the Caspian pipeline consortium, which is part of Russia's original plan to cut off oil supplies to the West.”

“It is well-documented that since 2014, both sides have committed human rights violation in Donbas and innocent people have been killed and abused. But there is no credible evidence that genocide is taking place. None. Russia has made vague references to mass graves and civilian attacks. If it had proof, you can be sure Russia would have provided it long ago. Russia should have done so [formally bring its genocide claims before the UN] and pressed for action at the UN if it had credible concerns. It claims that Ukrainians are attacking ethnic Russians and Russian speakers who Russia claims to be obliged to protect. That sounds reasonable in the abstract, but, again, Russia has not provided any credible proof to support its claim … It didn't do so because Russia's goal isn't to save lives but to conquer Ukraine. Lavrov's accusation is just another attempt to mask an invasion.”

“While the DPRK escalates its destabilizing actions, the Security Council continues to remain silent. Each ballistic missile launch that results in inaction by the council erodes the credibility of the U.N. Security Council itself in addressing the DPRK and undermines the global non- proliferation regime. The United States remained committed to seeking serious and sustained diplomacy with North Korea but Pyongyang had opted instead for an "increasingly escalatory series of ballistic missile launches in total violation of international law. We stand ready to collaborate and determine a mutually agreeable approach with other council members to address the DPRK's provocations.”

“In order to put Libya back on a peaceful transition path, the country needs a new national dialogue supported by the UN and the international community. It should bring together all Libyan stakeholders, including civil society, representatives of ethnic minorities (like the Amazigh and Tebu), marginalised areas (like Fezza) and marginalised groups (like women and youth) and seek to establish consensus on the electoral process, relevant lawmaking, transfer of power, and division of powers among state institutions.”

“Budget negotiations around the UN's human rights pillar have become increasingly contentious in recent years as China, Russia, and their allies claim - unpersuasively - that human rights get too big a share of UN resources. Making matters worse, the UN's so-called independent budget assessment body is increasingly undermining efforts to fund UN human rights work by making what diplomats describe as 'politicized' recommendations to reduce funding for rights-related activities.”

“The regime's egregious human rights violations, much like its unlawful WMD [weapon of mass destruction] and ballistic missile programs, are destabilizing to international peace and security, and must be prioritized within the Council [UN Security Council]. The modern world has no place for such brutality. And it is time for the Council to address it.”

“This [hosting exiled opposition leaders from other countries] is a flagrant violation of the UN's principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other sovereign state. In other words, Lithuania was 'awarded' by the US for violating the UN Charter. The least Vilnius should do is get cocky; it should be vigilant. Otherwise, the beacon will very soon burn itself.”

“There are a number of reasons why these reserves remain inaccessible. First and foremost, the status of the funds is the subject of ongoing litigation, brought by certain victims of 9/11 and other terrorist attacks to hold judgments against the Taliban. These legal proceedings cannot be disregarded and have led to the temporary suspension of any movement of the funds through at least the end of the year and quite possibly longer. Second, the United States continues to face difficult fundamental questions about how it might be able to make reserve funds available to directly benefit the people of Afghanistan while ensuring that the funds do not benefit the Taliban. And, obviously, our objective as one of the world's biggest providers of humanitarian assistance is to get that assistance directly to the people. It is difficult to determine how that would not go through - would not benefit the Taliban as it relates to these funds. Third, the Taliban remain sanctioned by the United States as a specially designated global terrorist group, and a number of its officials are subject to the UN - UNSCR's 1988 sanctions regime. This raises immediate red flags for many states' central banks and the financial community more generally when considering any transactions.”
