Statement of SAN MARINO at UNGA73

“This year’s theme is inevitably linked to the UN reform process. This process is of fundamental importance for the future world balance, for guaranteeing international peace and security and must remain at the centre of all our efforts.”

“The United Nations has often been criticized in recent years for the inability of the Security Council to intervene adequately in Syria and other conflict situations. Unfortunately, this has undermined the credibility of our Organisation.”

“Only with the effective and full participation of women in decision-making processes that have a direct impact on their lives, will it be possible to build sustainable, resilient and inclusive societies.”

“The Republic of San Marino reaffirms its commitment to the fight against all forms of violence based on gender, all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation. The objective of gender equality, emancipation of women and girls and full realization of their human rights must be achieved.”
