New York, September 26, 2024 AD
In the name of God the most merciful, the most merciful
Mr. President
His Excellency the Secretary-General of the United Nations
Your Excellencies, Kings, Presidents and Heads of Government
Ladies and gentlemen, all participants
May the peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you.
I address you today on behalf of the people and Government of Sudan. First of all, I am pleased to congratulate the President of the current session and his team, wishing them success in light of the growing threats to international peace and security. Our Organization has been at risk, undermined the principles of freedom, peace and justice, and violated international law.
Sudan believes in and supports the role of the United Nations and supports initiatives to reform and develop the work of its organs, particularly the Security Council, to consolidate pluralism and collective security, preserve human rights and address the challenges of climate change, ethnic issues and ideologically motivated terrorism.
Participants, gentlemen and ladies
Sudan welcomes the theme of the session (Unity in diversity to promote peace, sustainable development and human dignity) and also welcomes the priorities carried by the vision of the President of the current session. It also believes in the need to implement the outcomes of the Future Summit, including the reform of the United Nations and the Security Council, in order to put an end to crises and their persistence, which threaten international peace and harmony among nations and peoples.
Your honorable presence
The proliferation of unilateral actions outside the scope of the United Nations, in violation of the Charter and international law, and the use of means and mechanisms of political and economic coercion to achieve political goals mainly contribute to destabilizing security, political and economic stability and inflaming wars. Selectivity and double standards have become the dominant feature of international relations.
Mr. President
Perhaps you are aware of the magnitude of the challenges and conspiracy that my country, Sudan, is exposed to as a result of a war launched by a group that rebelled against the state with local and regional political and logistical support, and have followed the magnitude of the crimes, atrocities and violations committed by this rebel group against the Sudanese people and the Sudanese state entity, because this war began with an attempt to seize power by force of arms and quickly… It has turned into a comprehensive war against the Sudanese people and their state, and through the crimes of ethnic cleansing, forced displacement and genocide committed by the Rapid Support Militia, deserve to be classified as a terrorist group. It continuously commits all these crimes and, unfortunately, finds support and backing from the Sudanese people and their state. countries in the region that provide them with money and mercenaries to achieve political and economic gains, in flagrant disregard of international law and will.
