   🇹🇱 Timor-Leste · Day 2José Ramos-Horta

   • You brought to the office neither an ego in constant need of reassurance nor a vanity requiring daily attention. You have remained humble, honest, and steadfast in your principles, never losing sight of the millions of women and children who have been abandoned and forgotten, caught in the turmoil of wars unleashed by warlords. As these wars drag on and their human and material costs become ever more unbearable, the firefighters are blamed for failing to extinguish the very fires set by the arsonists themselves. Antonio Guterres, when you leave this building on December 31, 2026, you will take your place among the great Secretaries-General, whose legacies will continue to inspire young people around the world to follow your example of service to those most in need. 3:02:55Copy

The Japanese representative's feeble arguments cannot conceal the historical truth, whitewash its present-day acts, or disguise the complete collapse of Japan's image as a so-called peace-loving nation. Decades ago, Japan joined the UN after recognizing its military's crimes and accepted the charter in its entirety. In recent years, Japan has made frequent moves in military and security sectors to break free from the constraints of post-war system, expand military capacities, and send dangerous signals. 8:03:45Copy

    • I'd like to take this opportunity to once again to condemn terrorism in all its forms wherever it occurs. In addition to terrorism which remains active in some countries, particularly in Africa, the situation of global peace and security has been worsening year after year bringing us to the present moment in which we note with deep concern that the world has taken a course that brings it alarmingly close to a global conflict. Over the years, Angola has sought to make its contribution to building and consolidation of peace in Africa and the world, but the current situation in no way reflects the aspirations of people for harmony and understanding amongst nations. Among these contributions to peace are several initiatives undertaken in Africa, of which I highlight the 21st Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State of the African Union on the Strengthening of Conflict Prevention and Resolution Mechanisms in Africa, recently held in Luanda, which opened serious and sound prospect for resolving the problems affecting peace and stability on the African continent. 6:15:17Copy

Thus, we reaffirm that what the United Nations needs today is not more resolutions, but greater capacity to implement them.

     • Restoring trust in multilateralism demands that we demonstrate, as the United Nations, that peaceful resolutions of conflicts is still our mantra. Unfortunately, much of what we see runs counter to this. In the last two years, the world spent more on military budgets than on resourcing this important body tasked with maintaining global peace. We are reminded that meeting the SDGs by 2030, including ending hunger and expanding access to safe water and sanitation, will require not more than 5% of the 2.9 trillion US dollars spent on arms. 12:06:30Copy

     • In the course of history, Japanese militarists brazenly launched wars of aggression and committed numerous heinous crimes, including the illegal occupation of China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea, inflicting immense suffering on the people of China and the region. Back then, Japan joined the UN after recognizing its militarist crimes and accepting the UN Charter in its entirety. The post-war country for peace image that Japan seeks to establish can only be realized by repenting its history and making a clear break from militarism. However, more than 80 years later, the Takeuchi government turns a blind eye to Japan's historical crimes. 7:31:39Copy
