Truth, are groundless. Such speculation only creates distrust and suspicion among states. Furthermore, the countries in question have with the necessary means resources and expertise to conduct their own investigations, introduce further and further investigations at this juncture, serious the risks being counter productive. I thought you mentioned president i sent a representative for both of their statements. I gave the floor to the representative of United Kingdom. Thank you madam president , and thank you said the brief is for the perspectives. Madame president , the International Community remains rightfully concerned about the sabotage of the north stream pipe pines. We have repeated the condemn this attack, and we all want clear on says thats why we support the nation investigations of jeremy denmark and sweden to determine who is responsible. In july, jeremy demo can squeeze in office, a detailed updates on the progress of the investigations that update highlights the unprecedented nature of the sabotage and the subsequent complexity of the investigative processes. We understand these investigations will take time and we have full confidence in the impartiality and integrity. As we said before, we do not believe it is a good use of all time for the Security Council to start to pre judge. The outcome of these investigations dictates how they are conducted well, otherwise undermine them. We, on sunday Council Members should continue to offer our full support. So these investigations say that we can establish who was responsible for that. And before i finish that, its close for a moment on the fact that it was russia who cooled this meeting. Russia is claiming it is concerned about the destruction of civilian infrastructure. So much say that it seeks to commemorate the anniversary of this attack. Yeah, we will know that almost every single day of the year isnt anniversary of age and zip codes, russian attack on civilian infrastructure in ukraine. Were seeing the systematic booming of Ukrainian Energy and port infrastructure. We seen a, the 480 russian attacks on schools and hospitals on a 120 a tops on religious sites. I am beyond infrastructure. What is the lives of civilians themselves . At least 9600 civilians have been killed. And 17 and a half 1000 more injured in russia, as well as the aggression in ukraine. So as we listen to russia today, let us not forget whats what they are doing deliberately and as a matter of policy. That is also not forget the callous disregard russia schafer, civilians and civilian infrastructure in a lat, pole homes in damascus. When they be said 9 Council Resolutions aimed ending the assad regimes indiscriminate bombing of hospitals and schools. Unless as not forget the well, russia repeatedly brings breakfast to the council from the west who are free to attack, requesting governments. They systematically look up any one who does to criticize the russian government positions that had met him. President russell hypocrisy today is nothing you but it bears repeating. If they all seriously concerned about civilian infrastructure, they must cease their relentless attacks, uninsured, accountabilities, the pulling destruction and suffering. They have cost tests and the representative hope, United Kingdom for thursday. When i give the food to the representative of united are of the mirrors, met him president. The United Arab Emirates reaffirms its unreserved condemnation of the acts of sabotage against the north stream one and north stream to pipelines one year ago. And president , the consistent and predictable supply of energy is a bedrock of the international order. The need for Energy Stability and security is something that unites countries around the world. Large and small, developed and developing. The we like all countries, relies upon the safety of trans Boundary Energy infrastructure threats to section for threats or a matter of International Peace and security. And have rightfully been addressed by this council. Us and resolution 2341. The Security Council highlighted increasing cross border Critical Infrastructure into dependencies, including for the generation transmission and distribution of energy. The council further emphasize that protecting Critical Infrastructure demands cooperation across the borders with governmental authorities for and partners and private sector owners and operators of such infrastructure. Madam president , sabotaged against trans Boundary Energy infrastructure, is a grave threat to International Energy security. When such acts occur, it is vital that Competent National authorities investigate investigations should be thorough and rigorously fact based. We note the ongoing investigations by relevant National Authorities into the september 22 acts of sabotage. The will, you will come to the 21 february and 10 july 2023 joint letters from denmark, germany, and sweden to the Security Council, which provided information about their respective investigations. We encourage further updates, as well as expeditious conclusion of the ongoing investigations. We also urge transparency and sharing the findings of National Investigations with relevant actors as appropriate we continue to emphasize the value and importance of International Coordination and cooperation in such investigations. And in this regard, we encourage increased cooperation with the pipeline operators who have legitimate equities at stake and the ongoing investigations. The ways own National Experience demonstrates the usefulness of cooperation and information sharing and such situations. So many president s, undoubtedly, all members of this Council Share an interest in preventing acts of sabotage against france, Boundary Energy infrastructure. Such acts must never be tolerated. We eagerly await the conclusion of investigations into the north stream one and 2 pipeline explosions. The determination of what transpired and the identification of those responsible so that they may be held to account. Thank you, madam president. I signed the representative for tonight, the 3rd of the amount for their states and i give the floor to the representative on sunday. With the president mozambique to extend this offerings to the very 1st mister dick pullman said jimmy dar for the important insights on the topic before the council in that connection. We wish to recall that judy mozambique has consul presidency in march this year. We were told that the temp there was being made pre establish an independent investigation under the auspices of the secretary general. We then learned that it was pretty much who to call for an international investigation. The idea was to avoid interference with the National Investigations under way. After the time was under, it could be done the line that such investigations or do not to be endless. We therefore expressed our support for the speed, the conclusion, although no objective impartial and professional inquiry today as despite that the prevailing believes that this was indeed not to summer tash. And that a serious violation of International Law had taken place. Were not close to our search and through was on beacon does not condone with that deliberate to destruction. And to work on the is ation of critical anteaus National Infrastructures such as the north city and pipeline. We are still committed to allow ongoing investigations into the incident conducted by deal with 42 seemed a pretty nation. I usually nixtons, normally those of germany, sweden and then mike to come to a foreclosure. We hold this view, guided by a Security Council resolution 23 or 4 to one of 2017 the dames super tech to create to calling for the sub chose of such attacks. But the president there is a pressing and founded a juicy in bringing to the issue for the clergy to of justice. We need to guarantee that the christ we hold the no a collective nick on is, is not a to hold it. In the faith in the collective security to the system, designed by the chart that hes thinking at all times and circumstances that does not forget the consequences of impunity. Its, its not the only mouldings those hope up, its right side shots, but also weakens the very foundation of international cooperation. As the prime of oregon are responsible for International Peace and security. It is a legitimate to disagree with the causal because the burst of the resolved has, oh, did try it. National investigations was on the go strongly and cartridges the speed, the conclusion of objective impartial and professional investigations introduced that thats a pos to be contracted to International Law. I frontier model president , i found the representative of mozambique for their statement. I gave the floor to the representative with United States. Thank you, man and president. We regret the Russian Mission continues to call repetitive meetings on this topic, despite the number of other pressing matters on the councils agenda. The United States reiterated concern regarding the sabotage of north screen one and north stream 2 pipelines that took place in september 2022 had respect for this councils time. I will keep my intervention brief and refer you to our prior statement on this matter. The United States maintains confidence in the ongoing investigations into the facts of what happened led by the governments of denmark, germany and sweden. The tax took place in denmark and swedens maritime zones. And these governments are conducting thorough and impartial investigations which it has repeatedly claimed it seeks an impartial investigation. Despite its own premature attempts to place the blame on certain countries, it is no surprise it selectively promotes narratives in this council. The comport with its pre ordained conclusions while dismissing alternative views in a country with such an incident within its territory would expect to 1st conduct its own investigation. This council should disregard accusations and speculation and allowed Denmark Germany and sweden to conclude their work. Disingenuous statements from russia, feigning concern, are intended to undermine ongoing investigations in an attempt to prejudice their results. And i thank you, madame present. I send the representative for tonight. It stays for their statements. I give the floor to the representative of friends. But let me know, because, you know, the bottom president s france clearly expressed its concern a year ago when underwater explosions struck the north stream. Gas pipelines suite took reports indicating that these explosions were the result of a deliberate act of sabotage. A very serious land, our position has not changed. This is a serious incidents which calls for in depth investigation. However, one cannot help but wonder about the reasons which led russia to request for the 4th time. A Council Meeting on this subject. Since our last meeting in july, no new credible or meaningful elements have merged to justify a new debate on this issue. For the more well rush, it shows so much concern about a tax. On your pin infrastructure it continues to inflict massive destruction daily on ukrainian civilian infrastructure, electricity systems, hospitals, schools, and the could meetings of this new meeting therefore doesnt seem to stem from any necessity of other than russias needed to distract this council and to fuel speculation. As to responsibility for the sabotage of these Gas Pipelines in order to establish the truth of this matter, investigations have been launched by the competent german, danish, and swedish authorities. As we have already stressed, we have no reason to doubt their seriousness or impartiality. Give them a seriousness and the complexity of the matter at hand. We understand that the ongoing investigations required time and thorough verification. We hope that these investigations will continue and reach their conclusion free from any political interference. I thank you. I think the representative of prompts for thursdays month, i give the floor to the representative of the governor to assign to modern precedent. We have listened closely to the information provided by the briefest note to come on interest in unraveling the facts surrounding the sabotage of the north between one and 2 Gas Pipelines. The successive damage to the 2 north stream Gas Pipelines at the time when the Global Energy crisis was already on the rise shops, the cautions of the International Community into a renewed awareness of the strategic linkages between Critical Infrastructure and security, economic stability, and Sustainable Development of societies, the depravity of the actions highlights the importance of concepts of global efforts to put in pace preemptive, as well as mitigating measures against such actions. The incident now view reflects a disregard for the inherent drives of the populations that depend on the Energy Installations and remains unacceptable. By all stand, thats is really a treat to the necessity for states to uphold their responsibilities established on the International Law and re offend by the decisions of the Security Council for the protection of Critical Infrastructure, especially office trends, boundary nature. It is necessary to forestall future or cabins is as damage or destruction costs of Critical Infrastructure in one sector, beads, energy, water, communication, cyber security, or transportation, often result in extensive and width and consequences on other citizen populations. Creating situations of instability and instigating humanitarian crisis. We support the sustained interest of the council in helping unravel the sabotage of the north stream pipelines, an edge. The differences in the views held by Council Members on this stablish mental funding to National Investigative and kind of them should not distract from the unified position expressed against the supple sides of the pipelines in previous be things of the council. Modern precedent as the counselor with this is the issue on the one year mark of the incident gamma would like to retrieve the following 4 points. First, we continue to believe that a stablish and the facts of such seniors actions is necessary to ensure accountability on the part of the perpetuates is and send a strong message. It is a deliberate destruction of Critical Infrastructure. Anyway, it is and disregard that we are called importance to the Ongoing National need investigations by the concerned countries of denmark, gemini, and sweden, an edge support for the efforts aimed at then covering the facts beyond the mutual establishment of the incident. Being to sabotage, we started to believe that the outcome so the National Investigations would be instructive for the future actions of the Security Council on the matter. Second, we reiterated our appeal to all policies to work in a collaborative manner. And in good faith, consistent with the provisions of the Security Council resolution 2341 of 2017. We also see the show and exchange of Information Technology expertise and other Relevant Resources between and among the countries as well as the russian or preaches, will contribute immensely to ensuring co havent outcomes. And the, in the completion of the investigative processes said to address the persisting problem of the speculations. And ill say true rhetoric, which only fuel the existing geo political stations we as the parties to work in the more open and transparent manner. While acknowledging that some information may be sensitive to the National Security of the concerned countries, we encourage the provision of regular updates on the status of the investigations to boast, the International Confidence in the national purchases. 4th and finally, we reiterated a previous submission regarding the necessity of a timeframe for concluding the national ne investigations and presenting the outcomes to appropriate international institutions, including the Security Council for necessary follow up actions. I thank you for your kind attention. I think the representative has gone up for thursday. If not, i shall now make a statement. My capacity is representative of jose new colleagues. There have been several new things on this issue. The same narrative and the same positions have been repeated twice most the day. For the very simple reason that there is nothing new on the matter. The
