I will forgo my contribution, Chairman, in order not to go over the same ground again. I generally share the remarks made already, but there is also a very urgent need for the United Nations to review its role and its influence globally. There is a gradual sidelining, for whatever reason, of the UN in the area of international conflicts, with obvious consequences.

It is not to the benefit of peace globally or to the future of the UN itself.
