Statement of LITHUANIA at UNGA73

“In almost every major crisis of the last decade - from Syria to Ukraine, from Myanmar to Yemen - the UN Security Council was unable to play a meaningful role because of inability of states to rise above their national interests and obstructive use of veto.”

“Globalisation also has a dark side, which must be confronted by acting against exclusion, inequality and falling labour standards.”

“On all major challenges - terrorism, climate change and achieving women empowerment - there is simply no alternative to working together.”
