Highlights
His Excellency Xavier Espot Samur begins by extending congratulations to the President of the 79th General Assembly and emphasizing unity in diversity and human dignity as core themes.
Andorra has been a peaceful nation for over 800 years without ever participating in war or maintaining an army, serving as an example of tolerance and cohabitation.
The Secretary-General of the UN is commended for his efforts in promoting conciliation, international law, and addressing climate change.
Andorra supports the UN's 'Pact for the Future,' aiming to strengthen multilateral systems and adopt concrete measures to address existential risks to humanity.
Espot underscores that democracy is more than just voting; it encompasses values such as dignity, tolerance, equality, and human rights.
The universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted 76 years ago, remains a cornerstone of global peace and dignity, which is now challenged by the rise of extremist political positions.
Current global issues, such as climate change and migration, are seen as threats to societies, particularly to younger generations, who face a future with declining living standards.
Andorra emphasizes the importance of peace and resolving conflicts without violence, advocating for the respect of international humanitarian law, especially in conflict zones like Ukraine, Gaza, and the Sahel.
Children are central to Andorra's international agenda, with a focus on the protection of children in armed conflict and the impact of climate change on young populations.
Andorra is committed to climate change action, with the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, having ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2011.
Despite its small size, Andorra has made significant strides in renewable energy policies and aims to increase national energy production while reducing pollution.
Espot stresses that climate change requires global cooperation, as efforts by individual nations will be in vain if not mirrored by others.
Andorra has supported gender equality and digital transformation, ensuring 96% of homes have internet access and that citizens' digital rights are protected.
Equality, non-discrimination, and inclusion are cross-cutting elements of Andorra's public policies, which extend to education and gender equality initiatives.
Espot concludes by reaffirming Andorra’s commitment to multilateralism, peace, and solidarity, drawing on classical Greek literature as a mirror of human conditions.

the assembly will now hear an address by
his Excellency Xavier espot samur head
of the government of the principality of
Andor I request protocol to escort his
Excellency and invite him to address the
assembly
Mr President Secretary General
excellencies ladies and gentlemen allow
me to begin by extending my
congratulations to his Excellency Mr
filimon Yang on his election as
president of the 79th General
Assembly I would like to thank you pres
president for having uh chosen unity in
diversity sustainable development and
human dignity everywhere for everyone as
the theme and could not be any more in
agreement than we are with this goal
which we fully support because my
country is a tangible real proof that PE
people are able to live together
peacefully uh for more than 800 years
indeed thanks to our understanding and
mutual respect shown by our inhabitants
our country has never had a war and
we've never had an army
Andor has always been an oasis of Peace
tolerance and cohabitation including
during during the most troubled times of
the old continent I'd also particularly
like to thank the Secretary General Mr
Antonio guz for his
perseverance for always preferring the
path of conciliation and for his message
in favor of international law and
against climate change I would also like
to stress the impetus that the Secretary
General has given to the summit of the
future which gave rise to The Pact for
the future that my country has signed
the goal of this is to strengthen the
multilateral system to adopt concrete
measures to U address new challenges and
establish a road map to address ex
existential risks to humanity
civilization and um most people on uh
Earth classical authors they are the
basis of Western culture they um tell us
and I use the present tense because they
never die they say that all speech is
vain and empty unless it be accompanied
by action what is important
are the things that we do throughout our
lives all civilizations are born in
specific
circumstances and very often they go
down in history thanks to their
conquests but what is the con conquest
of this civilization what is its
vocation and what is the Heritage that
it will leave behind or
rather what is the conquest vocation and
Heritage that we want this civilization
to leave to Future Generations ladies
and gentlemen today in the west we very
often forget that democracy goes over
and above simply putting your ballot in
the Box every four or five years the
very substance of the concept of
democracy is the values involved dignity
tolerance equality Freedom respect for
people and Nations these values are
human rights the rights that this
General Assembly has decide decided to
protect 76 years ago by adopting the
universal Declaration of Human Rights it
would seem that the spirit in which this
declaration was forged the symbol of
peace and dignity following two
devastating world wars is filing little
by little the forward March of extremist
political positions is a reaction in the
light of something that is viewed as a
threat an order that's viewed as a
threat the feeling that a recent past
has been lost and it's better than the
present that has invaded current
Generations
[Music]
and heightened by the idea that climate
change will worsen living conditions and
that globalization and migration flows
will dilute and depersonalize our
societies and that children and young
people today will live less well than
their parents
did we find ourselves at a key moment in
history where the Gen the debate cannot
be hidden uh behind um rhetorical
language to avoid this situation
we will soon be celebrating the 80th
anniversary of the United Nations and
this organization must continue to be
the Cornerstone of our world to be an
organization where States and the
Nations that make it up uh are moving in
the same direction with the same goal to
respond effectively to the great
challenges of our times in order to
leave future Generations a Heritage
which promises hope ladies and
gentlemen we have never had so many
tools to to bring about cooperation and
dialogue in the light of a very complex
reality but convinced as we are of the
equality between nations we must ensure
uh the implementation of the charter of
the United Nations strengthened by the
pillars of the defense of human rights
as well as the defense of international
humanitarian law those are the things
and those alone that must govern
relations between states the serious
situations in Ukraine Gaza Lebanon and
Sudan and other regions where we see
conflicts that have become permanent
particularly in the region of the Sahel
we cannot remain indifferent to these we
must urgently be become mobilized to
achieve the most noble goals of Pol goal
of politics peace we must come together
and find solutions to conflicts without
violence or recourse to military
resources we would call upon all parties
to work for peace and that they respect
International humanitarian law and that
they obey
it because nothing can justify the
attacks suffered by civilian populations
nothing can justify the attacks against
hospitals and schools and nothing can
justify using hunger as a strategy of
War nothing can justify such irrational
Behavior children are the main victims
of
this children and young people take
pride of place in in the intern on the
international agenda of Andor because we
firmly believe that they are the present
and the future of humanity which means
that all actions to benefit them become
strategic actions for the development of
a country of any country this is why
since its creation we have supported the
office of the special representative of
the Secretary General for children
unarmed conflict and more recently the
study on the impact of climate change on
children and armed conflict
when I asked you at the beginning of my
statement what Conquest what vocation
and what heritage did we want to leave
behind there can be no doubt doubt a
world in peace for our children and our
young people a world that provides
opportunities to each and every one of
them this is the great responsibility
which we bear to ensure that future
Generations do not have a life worse
than ours but rather that they are fully
able to participate in progress as we
have agreed in recent days in the summit
of the future
excellences Andora joined the United
Nations in 1993 the international
context at the time was full of Hope the
reunification of Europe after the Cold
War we decided to become a member of the
United Nations with the conviction that
we wanted to be a Society open to the
world which shares with the
International Community its
opportunities and its challenges we
believe that the problems of the world
are also our problems and it is for that
reason that we wanted and want to
participate in solving
them three decades have gone by since
then and although we see uh the Cold War
reemerging and whilst in the Middle East
we see increasing tensions and
whilst extremism is advancing and is uh
of concern Andor fully believes in its
International commitments and
multilateralism we believe that these
are the best and the only instruments to
Res solve the current
crisis but Andor also attaches
particular importance to Regional
cooperation particularly that deployed
by the European Union with which Andor
Andora is negotiating a an association
agreement which will mean that we will
be able progressively in an a structured
way to enter the European single Market
to diversify our economy and participate
in building a geographic economic and
political
reality that of the European Union with
a privileged status of associated State
whether it be obligations that we
undertake when joining an international
organization or by signing an
international treaty Andora
acts to fully respect its commitments
and as small as my country might appear
to Major states that in no way takes
away from our ambitious objectives and
this is always essential as is our
multilateralism the climate emergency
gender equality the digital transition
and cultural diversity on that last
Point Andor is very proud to have co-
facilitated for one further year the
resolution on multilingualism at the
United Nations together with
Guatemala ladies and gentlemen climate
change is undoubtedly a global threat
but it's also true that it affects
certain countries more than others this
is the case for coastal regions where
the sea level is increasing and
mountainous regions where the ecosystem
has become more vulnerable this is the
case for andur the effects of climate
change risk changing the way of life of
its inhabitants and even the economy of
the
country and it's for this reason that we
have made the fight against climate
change one of our main
goals internationally as well as
nationally since the ratification of the
United Nations framework convention on
climate change in 2011 Andor has met its
communication obligations by respecting
the principles of transparency coherence
comparability exhaustivity and
accuracy and we have even um implemented
uh certain things ahead of time with
regard to the convention in 2015 Andora
was one of the first to join the
framework conent convention and produce
a NDC nationally determined
contribution and we updated it in 20 uh
20 and 2022 and we plan to achieve
climate neutrality by 2050 in 2023
Andora was the first state to present
its biannual report on transparency
which showed once again the importance
that we attach to our commitment to
fight against climate change nationally
we have also uh undertaken great efforts
to implement a new energy policy to
progressively increase the national
production of renewable energy and
replace heat production systems with
less polluting
systems this policy in favor of
renewable energy was led by the public
sector with the implementation of very
ambitious legislation and using
significant Aid and action plans however
do you know that all of these efforts
will be in vain if other countries do
not do the same thing if we're not all
all moving in the same direction because
fighting climate change is the most
urgent Global challenge that we
have the broadest challenge which which
requires the highest possible level of
cooperation collaboration generosity and
respect ladies and gentlemen we are at
the Midway point in achieving the
sustainable development goals of the
2030 agenda and we are going to soon be
in the final home
stretch what has been achieved is
already deceiving take bearing in mind
that behind the results are millions of
people who are suffering the
consequences the sustainable development
goals are are certainly very ambitious
but if we decide to implement them with
persistence creativity and Innovation
then we can bring about Real Change by
um taking as a principal inclusion and
uh making gender equality a reality
sustainability a Norm the protection of
children an inviable
principle and by ensuring that divides
are overcome once and for all the poet
and novelist uh of France Lou aragan
wrote that the fure future of men is
women that was in 1963 on the eve of
full equality between men and women a
genuine Declaration of love and
admiration for his wife his
Muse in certain parts of the world we
still have a lot to do in order to
understand that it's in our interest
that women have the same chances to
learn and develop their talents and to
to work and to earn their living as do
men in andur equality non-discrimination
and inclusion are cross-cutting elements
of public policy we have adopted
legislative measures uh in this Regard
in order to respect our commitments and
to fully achieve these goals that is a
logical consequence in a society where
women play a very active part in public
affairs but over and above public policy
the key element of social transformation
is
education equal education does not just
mean teaching girls and boys to mutually
respect each other it means giving them
the tools necessary to question social
norms which perpetuate inequalities and
to enable them to build a society where
every individual is able to develop
themselves to their full potential
whatever their gender currently parity
is respected in our
institutions uh in decision-making
positions and for the first time we've
had the honor to have an andoran expert
on the United Nations committee for the
elimination of all forms of
discrimination against
women but bringing about gender equality
requires determination and perseverance
on the part of each and every one of us
as representatives of our respective
countries we have the moral and
political iCal
obligation to promote this
transformation we must become committed
to ensure that gender equality is not
just a long-term aspiration but a
concrete reality in our
societies that is the only solution that
will guarantee a better future for
future
Generations excellences access to
information is in the process of
redefining the paradigms of growth and
economic and social development as
public services and the private sector
are being are being converted to the
digital world the divide that separates
those that have access to this world and
those don't is becoming ever more
pernicious the global digital compact
that we adopted during the summit for
the future includes actions in favor of
digital lit literary actions in order to
guarantee an inclusive open safe and
protected digital future in this area
multilateral multilateralism has a Cru
role to play to create opportunities and
at the same time it must guarantee
accessibility and Security in this new
virtual space of globalization for small
states such as Andora these technologies
have the potential to provide resources
with exponential added value aware as we
are of the situation uh we and our
manifest need to diversify our economy
Andora has made huge strides in this
area currently 90% 6% of andoran homes
have an internet connection the country
has implemented a national strategy for
digital transition which is particularly
focused on digital rights of citizens
and respect for sustainable development
goals 916 and 17 with the creation of an
ethical and legal framework preser that
preserves digital rights protecting
private life and data security and
ensuring free access to digital
information because we want all citizens
to be able to access the digital world
and avoid it thus avoid situations of
inequality ladies and gentlemen the
principality of Andor made has made made
a commitment to this organization of
peoples and for peoples 30 years ago in
the hope that a better world would be
possible because our country small size
can also um make exemplary choices
we presented ourselves to the world as
an ancestral land which finally has
found its place in the community of
Nations a country that is open to the
world with a constructive spirit and a
peaceful disposition open to dialogue in
favor of comprehension and Harmony
between peoples these are the values
that continue to guide us nationally and
internationally it is important that all
peoples promote a new culture of Peace
based on an end to war and on a
commitment to bring about peace
agreements to resolve conflicts
development must reach all four corners
of the planet where fundamental rights
must be respected and it is essential
that this new Digital Universe be based
on knowledge I began my intervention by
quoting the classical authors if I may
I'd like to end in the same way there's
a work that is at the heart of Greek
literature that has left its mark on
Western culture and which is very
difficult to forget it refers to
Conquest and destruction um hatred
compassion Love and
Death Homer's Iliad is in a certain way
a mirror of The Human Condition even
though this work shows that life is not
always fair and that it is subject to
the will of the Gods it also shows us
that human relations can if we want them
to be profoundly humane
and I think that we must take ownership
of this
message it is important to believe in
humanity and to work to
build all of us together peace in the
world as well as a world of solidarity
that is more just and more inclusive I
thank
you on behalf of the assembly I wish to
thank the head of government of the
principality of andur
