00:00Mr. President, the president of the British and American colleagues,
00:07the project of the resolution of the technical progress of the Secretary,
00:11about the attacks on the commercial court in the Красном море,
00:15has no added value.
00:17We can't support this document.
00:20However, only by the request of regional officials we will not block it.
00:25We encourage colleagues not to spend time and resources
00:28on a politicized story,
00:30who have already lost the actuality,
00:32but also the internationally supported countries.
00:35We are convinced that in the current reality,
00:38the Security Council would have to look at the attacks
00:41on the commercial transport in the Caribbean,
00:43and not in the red.
00:51I thank the representative of the Russian Federation for their statement.
00:57The Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it.
01:05I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
01:11Will those in favor of the draft resolution contain in document S slash 2026 slash 23,
01:21please raise your hands.
01:33Those against the resolution.
01:39Any abstentions?
01:40The result of the vote is as follows.
01:5213 votes in favor,
01:55zero votes against,
01:58and two abstentions.
02:02The draft resolution has been adopted as a resolution 28-12 of 2026.
02:14The draft resolution has now been adopted only to the negative.
02:20I now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements after the vote.
02:34I now give the floor to the representative of the United States of America.
02:42The United States welcomes the adoption of this resolution.
02:46It reaffirms the Council's responsibility for continued diligence against the Houthi terrorist threat to the freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the surrounding waterways.
02:58The defense of freedom of navigation is a crucial element of international peace and security.
03:05The Houthi threat reverberates well beyond the region.
03:09It creates risk for commerce and secure, reliable supply chains.
03:14Houthi terrorist acts also risk economic and environmental catastrophe for the region
03:20and then endanger the safety of seafarers on commercial ships that they attack and in some cases even sink.
03:29In face of these dangers, member states should not just be diligent but should also act.
03:35In that regard, the United States reminds all member states of their obligation to implement UN sanctions against the Houthis.
03:43This includes preventing the transfer of arms and related material, including dual-use items that advance Houthi weapons programs.
03:55I thank the representative of United States, and I now give the floor to the representative of Greece.
04:03Greece joins the United States as co-penholder in welcoming the adoption of Resolution 2812-26,
04:11which extends for a period of six months the reporting requirement under Security Council Resolution 2722.
04:19We extend our appreciation to all member states for their continued strong support for this resolution.
04:26Maritime security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea region remain under strain,
04:33and trust has yet to be restored along the critical international maritime route.
04:39The Houthis continue to pose a serious threat to international shipping, the safety of seafarers, and ultimately regional stability as well.
04:49The security environment remains extremely volatile as the recent developments in the south of Yemen and Somalia have shown,
04:58and the risk of further deterioration is acute.
05:02The Houthis have long demonstrated persistent, aggressive, and escalatory behavior carrying out unjustified and increasingly sophisticated attacks against commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea.
05:18They possess the capacity, means, and most importantly the intent to continue such attractions despite any temporary pauses.
05:28As a result, shipping companies are increasingly forced to divert vessels toward safer, yet significantly more costly and longer alternative routes.
05:41As a country with longstanding maritime tradition and a leading contributor to the EU naval operation,
05:49Greece remains firmly committed to safeguarding maritime security, ensuring freedom of navigation,
05:56and protecting seafarers in full accordance with international law.
06:01Mr. President, we believe that credible and lasting security guarantees for the Red Sea region must ultimately be achieved in the context of an inclusive political solution for Yemen that promotes de-escalation,
06:16restores trust, and ensures respect for international law.
06:20I thank you.
06:21I thank the representative of Greece for her statement, and now give the floor to the representative of Russian Federation.

07:02Mr. President,
07:03on the support of the whole world's regulation in this country
07:06and the creation of the условия for the implementation of inclusive political process.
07:11The following process of this approach
07:15with the political and diplomatic methods
07:18and the use of the positions of all, except for the players,
07:23is able to create a foundation for a normalization of the situation in Yemen
07:27and prevent a new cycle of escalation.
07:30We hope that members of the Council will come from such a logic
07:35when determining the future steps in this lawsuit.
07:38Thank you for your attention.
07:42I thank the representative of Russian Federation for this statement
07:46and now give the floor to the representative of China.
08:00Thank you for your attention.
08:05The second thing I want to add to the
08:12that has said,
08:13各方应当尊重各国商船根据国际法在鸿海水域的航行权利,反对袭击扣押民运船只,共同维护国际贸易秩序。
08:28第二,秘书长就鸿海席船向安理会提交报告的基础是安理会第2024年1月通过的第2722号决议。
08:38遗憾的是,个别国家在该决议通过后对也门采取金属行动,严重冲击也门和平进程,加剧鸿海安全风险。
08:51我们重申,安理会决议不应该被曲解滥用,联合国宪章必须得到严格遵守。
08:59也门主权安全和领土完整应当得到充分尊重。
09:04第三,也门问题各方应相向而行。
09:10坚持也门人主导,也门人所有,推进重启也门和平进程。
09:16也门和鸿海局势同加沙冲突紧密相连。
09:20我们呼吁全面履行加沙第一阶段停火协议,真正实现持久停火,尽快落实两国方案。
09:31推动巴勒斯坦问题早日得到全面、公正、持久、解决。
09:35为中东地区恢复和平稳定、创造条件。
09:40谢谢主请。
09:41谢谢主持。
09:48谢谢主持。
09:52谢谢主持。
09:57谢谢主持。
09:59We have voted in support of the just adopted resolution, mindful of our shared responsibility
10:05for the security and stability of these vital waters.
10:10This vote reflects Somalia's enduring commitment to maritime security in the Red Sea.
10:16Waters are not only crucial to our region, but also essential to global trade and stability.
10:23We recognize that challenges in the Red Sea have consequences far beyond its shores, and
10:30we approach this task with a sense of duty and urgency.
10:35It must be underscored that the current crisis in the Red Sea does not exist in isolation.
10:42The situation is closely intertwined with the broader regional dynamics.
10:47The Red Sea's security is fundamentally linked to the stability of its coastal nations and
10:54to the broader peace process that must remain our collective goal.
11:00The success of this resolution will depend on the manner in which it is implemented, one
11:06that is sensitive to the complex realities on the ground and respects the sovereignty of
11:12the regional states.
11:15Political solutions must address the root causes of the conflict and must always uphold the
11:20sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Red Sea coastal states.
11:26In this regard, we wish to express our condemnation of the recent Israeli recognition of a successionist
11:33entity in the northwestern region of Somalia, as well as the intention to relocate Palestinians
11:40from Gaza to Somalia, while establishing a foreign military presence there.
11:46We urge the international community to reject Israeli's actions, which not only set a dangerous
11:52president, but also poses a serious threat to the regional and international peace and security.
12:00Somalia remains committed to constructive engagement.
12:04We believe the responsibility of the Red Sea security rests first and foremost with its literal states,
12:11supported by the robust international cooperation that respect the legitimacy interests of all,
12:19legitimate interests of all.
12:22The way forward requires patience, wisdom, and shared dedication to diplomatic solutions.
12:29Somalia is ready to work with all parties to ensure the Red Sea remains what it has always been,
12:35a bridge of peace and prosperity, connecting nations and peoples for the benefit of all.
12:43I thank you.
12:46I assume my function as the president of the council now.
12:53There is no more names inscribed on the list of the speakers.
12:58The meeting is adjourned.
13:16We hope, sir, and will luôn be clear.
13:25Sing a moment.
13:27And in addition to this panel, it is hacked to cross.
13:30And there will be no功 to be a yesanda.
13:33And there is no ainsi negative, bevor...
13:36And there is no GUY need to rejoice on the ship.
13:39You will be simplement Ecuador.
13:42So, thank you last night.
13:43Yes.
