00:00Thank you, Mr. Chair.

00:03The United Arab Emirates wishes to highlight the importance of the work of UNHCR on international protection and displacement

00:10and reiterates its commitment and strong support for its important mandate.

00:15My country stresses the critical need for enhanced international cooperation

00:19to address these unprecedented levels of displacement and the needs of protection that continue to be rising today.

00:26Among the several areas in which the UNHCR is contributing to face this uncertain situation,

00:35the UAE reiterates its deep concern over the devastating impact of the conflict on the people of Sudan.

00:42This situation is due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis

00:45and the persistent breaches of international humanitarian law by the warring parties,

00:51namely the Sudanese armed forces and the rapid support forces.

00:54Mr. Chair, the parties of the conflict, especially those represented in the room,

01:00are only interested in politicizing this committee and accusing others and spreading false narratives

01:05instead of assuming their own legal and moral responsibilities.

01:10Due to such conduct, the conflict is having a devastating humanitarian consequence on the civilian population,

01:16with thousands of civilians, including women and children,

01:19not being able to have access to food, water, and medical supplies,

01:24and are being forced to leave their homes.

01:26What we continue to hear is the complete disregard of the conditions faced by Sudan's own population,

01:34which is continuously suffering from the widespread famine due to the ongoing fighting.

01:44Sudan has become a land of atrocities where the most fundamental principles are being violated on a daily basis.

01:53What is needed is clear.

01:55The fighting must stop, and civilians must be protected.

02:00A party to the conflict, Mr. Chair, shouldn't lecture and prescribe to this hall on the basic humanitarian principles.

02:07They should simply follow them.

02:09Mr. Chair, the UAE remains focused on what truly matters, alleviating the suffering of the Sudanese people.

02:17We continue to deliver humanitarian aid, support UNHCR's life-saving efforts,

02:22and continue to work constructively with international partners to secure access for relief operations.

02:28As a member of Sudan's squad, the UAE will continue in calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire,

02:36and we reiterate that Sudan's future governance is for the Sudanese people to decide

02:41through an inclusive and transparent transition process, not controlled by any warring party.

02:48I thank you, Mr. Chair.
