protocol to escort his Excellency and

invite him to address the assembly

president of the general assembly heads

of state and

government

ministers ambassadors ladies and

gentlemen I'm speaking here on behalf of

a country who will never forget what of

what nations are capable of doing when

they are

united

freedom and France has just paid tribute

indeed this year to the peoples of

America Europe Africa Asia and oceanana

who allowed us to liberate ourselves

from the Nazi

grip progress and peace

also France with its peoples have

created a community of free states

sovereign states able to engage with

each other and to understand what is

essential also

hope much like we've seen in recent

times during the paralympic and Olympic

Games that France hosted this year with

beauty enthusiasm and the support of

peoples however despite

this the Olympic truth that we wanted

here did not come to life however the

danger of words without action and

impotent diplomacy are before us every

day however our

organization is facing the biggest

convergence of Crisis possibly ever

after its eight Decades of existence and

the feeling of a loss of control is

growing when faced with Wars with

climate change increasing inequality in

Justice and every day Humanity seems to

be more fragmented at a time when the

circumstances would require us to find

common responses strong effective

responses

to these two words United Nations need

to embody hope once again and what must

we do for this we need to find this

essential Bedrock of this and that's

what I wanted to touch on briefly above

all first and foremost we need to

restore the terms of trust and respect

between peoples and here I can see them

often trampled in our debates to do this

we need to show pay equal attention to

those who are suffering as I mentioned

here two years ago in fact

let's Stave off the possibility of

having a double standards one life is

equal to another the civilian protection

is an imperative Norman must remain our

North Star at a time when this year we

are marking the 75th anniversary of the

Geneva

conventions and let's not let the idea

take root for a moment that the those

who died in Ukraine are from the north

that those who have died in Gaza from

the south and those who die in the

conflicts in Sudan in the Great Lakes

region or in Myanmar would be those

who've consequences who are alone and

ignored let's regain control and restore

this confidence and Trust which means

that we should find look for peace

everywhere and not accept any

differences at a time or in difference

at a time when human lives are at stake

let's not accept any difference when

difference being made when territorial

integrity and the sovereignty of states

is at stake

either these conflicts

today call into question our very

capacity to ensure that our un Charter

is respected and when I see some people

want to propose Peace by asking for

capitulation it's surprising we can't

even how can we we could support any

idea like this I would like to reiterate

here how the protection of civilians of

all humanitarian workers of all of those

who are working to defend our common

values is crucial in each and every one

of these conflicts next we must provide

a common response to the great

challenges the two Wars that are

affecting Europe and the Middle

East Russia indeed is waging a war in

Ukraine for territorial Conquest

scorning the most fundamental principles

of international life it is they are

guilty of legal of of violating the law

ethics and honor nothing that they're

doing is in line with the common

interest of Nations

the specific responsibilities that they

shoulder within this

organization the fate of

Ukraine is a question of peace and

Security in Europe and around the world

because who could still believe that

they are protected from their bigger

neighbors the violent neighbors those

Avid ones if we Le let Russia win this

as as if nothing happened no one could

do that it is therefore in our common

interest and the common interest of Na

that Ukraine be restored in its

legitimate rights as soon as possible

and that just and Lasting peace be

built France will continue to do

everything in its power so that Ukraine

can hold strong be out of danger and

obtain Justice France will continue to

provide it with the equipment that is

necessary for its defense and with its

allies and partners that are closest to

them France will support the remarkable

resistance of the Ukrainian people and

will commit for their to their lasting

security let us look for

peace France will join its forces with

all of those sincere Partners to build

solid peace in Ukraine for PE for

Ukraine and for Europe I know that for

many of us the key issues are elsewhere

there's a long list of Forgotten Wars

unjust

victories badly negotiated resolutions

or perhaps resolutions that are never

implemented I am not forgetting any of

them even if I can't list them all here

president chedi who spoke earlier at

this Tribune said that the situation in

the great lanes and I will go back to

him and president kagam in a few days I

will cover that that is of concern to us

as well and in arm Armenia prime

minister which France France stands

strongly shoulder-to-shoulder with the

pressure from aeran and territorial

intentions the International Community

must be there so that peace negotiations

are

successful and for so that the B

internationally recognized borders are

[Music]

preserved but I know that for a lot of

the people here the essential issue

Beyond these wars is together and it's

also for us together in here in Gaza

where the fate of the Palestinian

people is

currently present and heavy over all of

our

debates on this topic on such a topic

complex topic I'd like to say clearly

the France's position from day one we

condemn strongly the terrorist attack

which was terrible and unprecedented

carried out by Hamas against Israel on

the 7th of

October terrorism is unacceptable

whatever the causes may be and here we

mourn the victims of the hamas's attack

on the 7th of October this include they

include 48 French

citizens I express my compassion

friendship and to all of those families

who have lost children parents friends

on the 7th of

October we ask also once again and

solemnly for the hostages to be

released they amongst them there are

also several French compatriots too and

here I wish to commend the efforts of

the United States of America Egypt and

Qatar to achieve this this remains a

priority for us all

Israel when faced with this terrorist

attack has a legitimate right to predict

their own people and to deny himass the

means of attacking them again and no one

here could have suffered something like

the SE of octob without there being

consequences

however the war that Israel is waging in

Gaza has gone on too long the tens of

mil thousands of Civilian victims in

Palestine cannot be justified there is

no explanation possible for this there

are too many innocent people have died

and we mourn them too and those people

who have died are a outrage for Humanity

and a dangerous source of hatred

resentment which threatens and will

threaten everyone's security including

that of Israel tomorrow so this war

needs to stop and it ceasefire needs to

happen as soon as possible at the same

time as the hostage are released and

humanitarian assistance needs to arrive

on mass in Gaza

this is a position that we have held

since October

2023 where we the resolutions with many

of us let's hold the first

humanitarian uh we we held a

humanitarian conference for Gaza in

November 2023 in Gaza it's now a

question of political will given the

destruction of the military capacity of

Hamas and it is imperative that a new

page is turned in our that in Gaza for

the guns to be silent for humanitarian

workers to to return and for civilians

to f fin be protected France will

participate in any initiatives that will

save lives and would allow for

everyone's safety to be protected the

deployment of an international Mission

must open the way for the implementation

of the two-state

solution it is up to the security

Council to take a position on this and

also without further Ado the necessary

Provisions need to be taken to preserve

the link between Gaza and the West Bank

to resp to restore Palestinian Authority

in its functions and also to ensure the

Reconstruction of the territory and to

once again make life possible quite

simply

France will do ensure everything can be

done so that Palestinian people can

finally have a state side by side with

Israel the conditions for just en

lasting peace are well

known we just need to open the way for

this and the path towards this must be

as short as possible France

therefore is accept is committed to the

two-state solution and renew its action

so finally it can benefit the people and

meet their legitimate

aspirations a Palestinian State should

be created given all the necessary

guarantee security guarantees for

Israel so should we should build the

reciprocal recognition and common

security guarantees for all in the

region and we'll be working on this over

the next weeks with Israel I and

Palestinians with all our regional and

international Partners as

well and in the at this time at the

moment the main risk is that of an

escalation I expend my brotherly

thoughts to Lebanon and the Lebanese

people Hezbollah for too long has been

running an untenable risk of dragging

Lebanon into a war Israel

cannot without consequence just expand

its operations to Lebanon France demands

that all everyone respect their

obligations along the Blue

Line we will therefore act to ensure a

diplomatic voice can be heard a voice

that is indispensable to for sparing

civilians and preventing a regional

configration

we must not we cannot have a war in

Lebanon there cannot be a war in Lebanon

this is why we

urge Israel to cease this escalation in

Lebanon and to we Hezbollah to Cease the

missile launches to Israel we urge all

of those who provide them with the means

to do so to stop doing so we have asked

for the security Council to meet today

indeed to this end and I welcome this

this and the French minister at this end

of the week will head to Lebanon

themselves so it's the same Unity that

we must show

went faced with the great Regional

challenges and the global challenges

before us because beyond the conflicts

that we seeing that I've just

mentioned we need together to

continue to ensure that sovereignty is

respected everyone's sovereignty

Regional and international Solutions

need to be built to tackle these

challenges and this is the idea behind

the relationship we wish to have with

Africa a new

partnership and that for is for what for

the last two years we've been doing

working to do France has done a lot over

recent years for the African continent

France has done a lot over the last few

decades but more specifically in the

Sahel where the French army have fought

successfully against terrorism side by

side with Regional International

Partners however the military coupar in

the region have L meant that we had to

take the necessary conclusions but

Europe and Africa have a shared destiny

which demands a broad partnership a

partnership for peace and

security which we need of which the

terms need to be renewed more training

more equipment more mutual

respect also there's

Partnerships that is underpinned by

economic energy sport aspects as well as

cultural memory aspects and that's what

with Ben in Sagal Cameroon Algeria

Morocco and many other countries this is

what

we have been patiently building over

recent years and something we will

continue to

do so this is the same philosophy that

for the last six years we've been

embodying in order to build a

partnership with the indopacific region

where France has an ambition to

contribute to the respect for

international law without which there'll

be no prosperity in this region which

has seen an over recent years much

Development A lot of people try to

trample on rules and imp ose their Wills

by force France is proposing alternative

not to replace anything but to give

states in the region once again the

possibility to choose their Partners on

a project by project basis French

territories in the indopacific have

unique expertise in the fight against

climate change protection of

biodiversity the development of clean

energy or the fight against crossborder

threats and our vocation is this in the

region and it is to cooperate with all

on the environment as you've understood

this partner-based logic is one that

seeks to build New Balances to re refuse

that the world be fragmented where old

rule books are are thrown aside we

respect each other we build the paths

towards peace and stability so beyond

that the challenge that we have is of

course affected by con the conflicts

that I mentioned so we but we might not

must not lose sight of our multilateral

agenda because of all of this nor should

we lose the effectiveness that we've

committed to and having gone through the

pandemic which reminded us so blatantly

of the importance of some of these

common challenges we should not forget

that this we need to C Bear all of this

in mind and so I believe profoundly that

effective multil multilateralism has

never been as necessary as today it must

give results it must give results for

development fight against inequality

Education Health Care climate bi

diversity and Technology on each of

these individual pillars we need unity

and we need also to do everything we can

to avoid a divide between the North and

the South and that's exactly the

philosophy that we have developed in the

Paris pact for people and planet that

more than 60 states have already

joined firstly we need to ensure that

never we will push a state to choose

between these objectives why would the

nor states of the North teach lessons to

the states of the South and try and

explain to them that they should respect

climate and

therefore uh renounce on very o economic

opportunities this is something people

did we didn't do 20 30 years ago it

would be unacceptable therefore we need

to build an agenda that allows at the

same time progress to be made in the

fight against inequality and for Social

Development for education for climate

and biodiversity and the global Health

then

Solutions need to be made and these

Solutions need to be based on the

proposals of the states themselves and

this is what we've for example started

to do with our Partnerships for a Just

Energy transition not having one size

fits all solution for all from capitals

where we go to inspect countries and ask

them to all follow exactly the same

recipe each country has their own path

that is the key to sovereignty now then

we we need a public financing a waging

and also leveraging the private sector

too and that meant that this is what

allowed us three years ago to properly

support the imf's special drawing rights

and to OB obtain the re reallocation of

more than 100 billion special drawing

rights for the benefit of the countries

who need that most in most urgently

particularly in Africa this was a silent

Revolution but it was crucial and this

is why with this pact and we were here

we with with his members here on the

effective authority of President mackel

and with the support of the United

Nations of the oecd and organizations

concerned this is why we wish to pursue

these reforms and carry out far-reaching

reform of multilateral banks of our

financial

institutions we launched this objective

for shared financing bringing together

development Banks from across the world

including those whose agendas aren't

quite aligned we need to work on this

common financing agenda so that we can

meet the objectives that I mentioned and

we together and I hope in the months to

come as soon as then we'll be able to

carry out this reform of the World Bank

and the IMF firstly to renew the members

membership these institutions were built

at a time when many of you weren't

independent so the structure of capital

needs to be restructured to to make it

stronger the World Bank and the IMF were

only conceived balanced calibrated at a

time when the challenges were very

different when the global economy wasn't

as big where the population was

completely different so we need to lift

these absurd tabos of blockages caused

sometimes by the biggest countries which

are prevent prevent others from

receiving money because it could be they

could be diluted we need to give the

capacity to act to these institutions so

that they can then fund that countries

of the South need and this reform is of

imperious necessity for our credibility

as a whole and I'm saying to all of the

richest countries and those who are

around us on the table if you decide not

to do that while you'll see in the next

few years you'll see an alternative

order emerge they will forget your

agenda if you decide not to do this and

then we will be accused of cynicism and

hegemony and perhaps not wrongly this

reform of financial multilateralism is

indispensable to address these

challenges we also need to pursue our

climate biodiversity agendas too the C

we have upcoming cops very important all

of them and F will play its part

particularly through with Costa Rica

convening for the United Nations an

important meeting for oceans in nce in

June 2025 here we'll have the UN oceans

conference and we will

continue uh work on this and I hope that

a lot of you here will be able to ratify

what we've managed to achieve over

recent years particularly the treaty on

the protection of the high seas Mrs

crucial and we also continue to make

progress on the question of water that's

also indispensable with the new one

planet Summit on water this is alongside

Kazakhstan and Saudi

Arabia I won't go into detail of course

on all of the topics that are necessary

but I do wish to recall that how

pressing an issue art artificial

intelligence is it's important for all

states here to coordinate on this we

need to Foster innovation of course we

need to ensure that the Innovation and

artificial intelligence need to make

sure it's accessible to All Peoples and

countries of the planet and so it

doesn't fuel more Division and

inequality but we also need all of this

to be developed in a e within an ethical

Democratic framework created by the

peoples of the planet that is Resolute

we cannot let some people a few private

actors who are on The Cutting Edge of

this Innovation at the moment think

about the future of this for our peoples

this is why France in February 2025 will

convene the next action Summit for

artificial intelligence but I'm sure

you've understood the aim is to build

this common framework and I welcome the

work that's been done and coordinated by

the Secretary General and the global

digital compact which is built using the

best of expertise and it enshrines this

Phil philosophy which we subscribe to

totally to conclude ladies and gentlemen

and I'm aware of course that I've

forgotten so many difficult situations

from Venezuela to the heart of

Africa uh and so many other tensions in

oceanana I want to talk about our

institutions I hear a lot of people say

that what the unit what we need to do to

the UN is just throw it in the bin it

doesn't there's no point in it we can't

resolve conflicts why do we have it so

here

let's have show a constructive kind of

impatience and we can't just be

satisfied with not being able to resolve

things but we know the who's responsible

while we have a security Council that

has been blocked that is blocked

reciprocally according to each another's

interests while that's still the case W

won't be able to make progress is there

a better system I don't think so so

let's make the UN more efficient firstly

perhaps making them more representative

and that's why France as I reiterate

here is in favor of the security Council

being expanded Germany Japan India

Brazil should be permanent members much

like

two uh countries that Africa will decide

to represent them these new elected

members will ALS also need to be

accepted but the re reform of the

composition of the Security Council is

not sufficient alone to make it more

effective and so I wish this reform also

to how it should also change the working

methods to limit the right of veto in

case of mass crimes and also to focus on

operational effective decisions that

peacekeeping needs and maintaining

International Peace and security needs

rather this is why we need to be brave

and audacious to do so with the current

permanent members this is something we

should be

doing almost 25 years after the

Millennium Sumit it is now High time to

be more effective to act better on the

ground ground for States and for civil

society and then beyond the United

Nations we must also Mark a new era in

each of our multilateral institutions as

I just mentioned these are the few words

I wanted to share with you ladies and

gentlemen

today at a time a grave

time of our of our world order here

where so many conflicts seem

unresolvable I will say that France will

continue to carry this voice that is
