- Argentina · Day 1
In response to what was stated by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on the Malvinas Island, I wanted to remind you that the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding areas are part of the national territory of Argentina, illegally occupied by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are the subject of a sovereignty dispute between the two countries, recognized by the United Nations and by other international organizations.
The illegal occupation by Britain of the islands is from January of 1833, when British forces occupied the islands, expelling the legitimate Argentinian authorities and substituting them this was at a time of peace and in violation of the international law valid at the time, was never recognized by Argentina.

Argentina · Day 2Javier Gerardo MileiThat's why the Malvinas are not merely an issue between Argentina and the United Kingdom; they also raise a question regarding the ability of this organization to enforce its own resolutions.
If the United Kingdom maintains a selective interpretation of the principle of self-determination with regard to the Malvinas Islands, it must also explain it reconciles that position with the debates on self-determination taking place within its own territory.

France · Day 1Emmanuel MacronThe coalition of the willing on Ukraine, together with the UK and Germany, a coalition which brings together everyone who stands ready to guarantee peace and stability in the very heart of Europe, the very place where two world wars began, something no one can ignore.

Palestine (State of) · Day 3Mahmoud AbbasWe highly appreciate the measures taken by the United Kingdom, as well as 12 other countries, in order to protect the two-state solution, as well as to ban settlement products.
