Mandate to develop and implement a robust, copper has of u. N. Reform agenda. No less, we support the u. S. Promote a to meaningful reform of the United Nations. Mr. President , let me take this chance to stay clearly that ukraine cannot agree more with the sovereignty to be universally respected and guaranteed. This very conclusion was timely and arrived yesterday from this podium. When the United Nations was set up, it was designed to maintain peace and security in the world based on the principle of respect and border. Was aimed ation securing the world where the sovereign rights of free choice was to be respected. Regarded inrincipal the name of sustainable peace and security by the p5. Thats why the principle that happened to be so blatantly violated against my own country by one of the p5 Member States. This was the principle. Hand the tools we have in this noble endeavor is in the name of sustainable peace and security. That is what millions of ukrainians have struggled with since the beginning of the russian aggression in the year 2014. A threeyear long war with russia has resulted in 10,000 people killed, 7 of ukrainian territory occupied, 20 of ukrainian economy and industrial output is destroyed or simply stolen. However, the most horrific thing in this situation is that the kremlin has constantly chosen the tactic of increasing human suffering. ,he occupied Crimean Peninsula according to the human rights activists, has stood in for the territory of repression. Anyone who disagreed with the kremlin lost their freedom and even their life. Ukrainians and crimeans get arrested even for posting to the social network or, as it was in the case of the crimean farmer, in december of 2016, for just putting a Ukrainian National flag on their private residence. The representatives of the crimean activists that were banned by the russian occupied continues and only a week ago the deputy head of the middle east was sentenced to eight years in prison for standing up against russian occupation. With a deputy head Serious Health problem remaining under house arrest, not even allowed to leave for medical treatment. Russia lately violates the it tion 70 whentwos 71205. Keeps ignoring all requests of the office of the u. N. High commissioner for human rights to ensure proper and full access to the mission to crime area crimea. The kremlin has no respect for the provisional measures of the International Court of justice. Fromge russia to refrain maintaining or imposing limitations on the ability of the community to conserve its Representative Institution equal in the middle east and to ensure the rights for ukrainian citizens to study in ukrainian language. Such disregard of russias International Obligations must receive the appropriate response of the International Community. The International Community has to keep a close eye on crimea to preventing huge genocide sponsored by the proponents of stalinist totalitarian ideology against the crimean tartar. With the support of your delegation for the Ukrainian Initiative to ensure the observance of human rights in the temporarily occupied crimea, the generalr for assembly resolution. Theeed to strengthen deoccupation of crimea. The fact that at the highest International Level the u. S. General assembly, you one generalist u. N. General assembly proves that we are absolutely right, correct. The time has come to establish a to International Group coordinate and promote common steps and we count on coordinated and targeted support for our international partners. Militarization of crimea is another threat that affects eastern europe, as well as north america and the middle east. Ukraine strongly condemns humanist military exercises conducted in the occupied crimea as well as the close the border of ukraine in particular. Together with our neighbors and partners we urge russia to ensure full compliance with its commitment under the lec documents and other International Rules concerning military activity. The security and human rights interactions may or may no less traumatic than in crimea. This year ukraine initiated three major ceasefire attempt. Yet again, Russian Occupational proxies violated them almost immediately. Russia continues to supply heavy weapons and ammunition to the occupation troops in certain areas of the region. It flatly denies that the establishment of the lec permanent control over the ukrainian russian border and the release of the hostages is completely deadlocked. Hostages with the people captured deliberately, their only fault is that they have up proukrainian position. Remember the fate of the , shotrold who was killed in the head, after russian soldier saw him wearing ukrainian ribbon. Another example, igor kieslowski is in jail for two years under the false accusation and the private of any communication with family and friends. Russia still keeps at least 16 ukrainians as political prisoner. Director and journalists, in the most prominent cases. Just think about it. Kidnapping people, conducting hidden war, downing civilian aircraft. Is this the kind of behavior that we expect from the Permanent Security Council member . Russia is not a contributor to international security, but its biggest threat. Russia is perhaps the only country in the world that has a conflict, hot, frozen, or potential with almost all of its neighbors. The key problem is that ukraine and russia thrive on completely different things. Ukraine once peace and restoration. Russia wants control of ukraine and undermines every effort to restore restore sovereign control within the border. Tried to exchange peace in ukraine for their freedom. And im going to make a very strong message. Ukraine would never accept that kind of deal, nor will the International Community. [applause] the latest hybrid peacekeeping proposal from moscow is yet another example of russias real ambition. To legalize its proxies and to freeze the conflict forever. We would welcome any proposal that would bring an end to this in my country. A fullfledged u. N. Peacekeeping operation is the only viable solution to deescalate and protect the people of ukraine and to get us closer to a political solution. That is why the peacekeepers mandate should cover the entire occupied area, including the ukrainian and russian state borders. This is a must. Aslong as the border is used the means supply route with the manpower and weapons, there will be no peace in my country. Should respect basic u. N. Peacekeeping principles and guidelines. One of them is that u. N. Peacekeepers should be impartial. There is no place for the aggressive personnel. They cannot be part of this, by definition. And let me stress, any abuse of to peacekeeping toolbox secure the gains of aggression is absolutely unacceptable. If you have an opportunity to bring peace to the heart of europe, you should get the condition right. An International Presence that is robust can help us to cope with the risk of terrorist activities in the conflict affected areas. The component in the russian hybrid war against ukraine is clearly visible and has become a reality of everyday life there. Wase years ago the world stunned when the Malaysian Airlines flight 817 carrying 298 people on board was blown up in the skies over the dunbar. In a mind to do everything to bring justice against those responsible for. His mess this mass murder two investigations, technical and criminal, have been carried out. Those who were behind this horrible crime came from russia. The missile came from russia. Victims is onhe russia. Comprisecountries that the joint investigation deal have decided to prosecute those responsible for downing within the jet dutch judicial system. This year the International Court of justice has started a hearing in the case brought by ukraine against russia in the violation of the 1999 financing of terrorism convention. We hope that the decision by the United Nations highest court will help to bring the Russian Federation to justice for its numerous violations of International Law and for financing crimes committed in 2014. [applause] and as the process begins, we support facilitation for all u. N. Member states. For years ukraine has served as a resident contributor on global security. In the name of peace and exchange for the security assurance, ukraine gave up its Nuclear Arsenal, the Third Largest in the world. 20 years after ukraine was invaded by one of those who were ready to protect and respect, as they remain the resolute advocates of global nonproliferation and disarmament. This is why we strongly condemn Nuclear Tests and multiple launches of the Ballistic Missile by north korea. And we are deeply concerned about the continuous day version of the resources from the critical human needs to feeding pyongyangs Nuclear Arsenal coupled with serious human rights abuses. We resolutely stand for reinforced measures to stop the illegal activities of pr and yang and bring north korea in line with an International Legal framework. At the same time, let me reiterate the called upon the un Security Council to undertake indepth investigations into developments of the north Korea Nuclear and Missile Program in order to expose any possible foreign assistance to pyongyang in this area. We also express our deepest concern for the Current Situation in syria, as we believe that full limitation and 2012 securityhe Council Resolution is absolutely vital for the settlement in that country. What draws our special concern with regards to these bloody conflicts is the russian view of as accupied crimea military outpost for projected power in syria. As the war there rages on, a huge number of Russian Military assets are deployed to syria by ship based in the crimean harbor. It is also deeply disturbing that the african continent continues to suffer from the numerous unresolved conflicts. My country has spared no effort to support the african continent in safeguarding the main principle of the international border. Serenity, noninterference in domestic affairs, rule of law, and peaceful settlement of the district. Chair of the Committee Established by the Council Resolution 2127, we have actively supported regional and International Efforts to stabilize the situation in Central African republics. As of 2017, january, you can and we arermanship data mined to contribute the International Efforts to resolve the conflict and conflict in darfur. We can fully count on ukraine as a reliable friend. My country is fully committed to implementing the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Developments and the achievement of Sustainable Development goals. Despite heavy defense expenses, more than 5 of gdp, ukraine keeps going through this fundamental transformation, fighting corruption, promoting judicial reform, improving the business opportunities. In and a half ago the Economic Situation in ukraine people onlythat dreamed about proper economic stabilization. To stateve all grounds that economic recovery is in place in such an area as ensuring Sustainable Energy supplies, food security, promoting Innovation Development and sustainable infrastructure, as well as promoting Effective Public Health systems, affordable education, and decent worker priority within 20 to 30 years of the development agenda. I am convinced that no country alone can achieve Sustainable Development without sustainable peace and sustainable security. There is also no doubt that mitigation of Global Warming remains one of our indispensable elements of Sustainable Development. I am proud that ukraine is fully committed to our obligation under the paris climate agreement and our intention in this regard is race serious. Ukraine was the first european which demonstrated its instrumental is him to the United Nations. The United Nations has always played a leading role in ensuring that the crimes of the past could never happen again. The 72nd session of the General Assembly coincides with the 85th anniversary of one of the deadliest crimes of the 20th century. It was manmade in 1932, 1933, organized by the stalin totalitarian regime, killing from seven to 10 million ukrainians. Convention forhe the prevention and punishment in the crime of genocide, adopted by the u. N. General assembly in 1948 described the destruction of the ukrainian nation as a classic example of genocide. I appeal to their historic judgment and making decisions by recognizing this as an act of genocide. Mr. President , this is a challenging time for all of us. Wars than inie in natural disasters. Is divided again, between those who believe that anddom is indispensable those who believe that freedom is expendable. One group who wants to reach a , its time for those who believe in freedom to come together. Its time for freedom to be strong, convincing, and convinced. Lets be that way. Thank you, all of you, for your attention. [applause] on behalf of the General Assembly, i would like to thank ukraine forcy from the statement that he has just made. Wease remain seated while escort the head of state. We will now hear the statements of his excellency, Mahmoud Abbas, president of the state of palestine. I would request the protocol to escort his excellency. [applause] [whistling] [applause] on behalf of the General Assembly, i have the honor to welcome to the United Nations his excellency, Mahmoud Abbas, and to invite him to address the assembly. In the name of god, your excellencys, secretary generals of the United Nations, president s of the United NationsGeneral Assembly, ladies and gentlemen, peace be upon you. Passed since the signing of the oslo accords and the entrance into the agreement that finds time to bring an end to the Israeli Occupation. Granting hope to the Palestinian People that they would soon achieve independence within their state and achieve peace between palestinians and israelis. What is left of this hope today . President , ladies and gentlemen, we recognize the state of israel on the 1967 borders. To refuselis continue to recognize these borders. Put into question the mutual recognition that we signed in oslo in 1993. First, my speech before your i appealedmbly, when for 2017 to be the year for ofing the Israeli Occupation the territory of the state of palestine, the Israeli Government has relentlessly pursued its settlement campaign on our land in contravention of andinternational convention the relevant resolutions on the question of palestine. Has also resisted persistent with persisted with its flagrant disregard for the two state solution, using tactics and devising tactics to evade responsibility to end its occupation of the territory of palestine. F instead of addressing the underlying issues and addressing the root causes of the conflict, they have tried to diverge International Attention to secondary issues actually caused by its colonial policies. Just as the International Community continues to look for an end. This insights into makes false accusations, there is no palestinian partner is what it pretends. It imposes unreasonably constrictive regulations. As you are aware, israels occupation breeds indictment and violence. This military occupation by israel of our land has now lasted for over half a century. Ago, we agreed agether to establish committee comprising the united israel. Palestine, and layng that the decision with the United States. This committee has worked for some time. But then it was canceled and we have been calling for the revival of this committee. What is strange, very strange, is to hear some of those who hold the responsibility to end referring to it as a half occupation or an alleged occupation. So, what do you mean by an alleged occupation . For 50 years we have been languishing under occupation and now someone responsible says its alleged . I believe that this is unfair, incorrect, and unacceptable. The
