As the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly is underway, the eyes of the world are focused on New York, where discussions are taking place on the crucial theme of collective action for peace, sustainable development and human dignity. The issues are multiple and urgent, in an international context marked by major security, environmental, economic and humanitarian challenges.
The expected intervention of Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi at this Assembly is particularly anticipated, as he intends to denounce once again the aggression of which his country is the victim on the part of Rwanda in the Great Lakes region. The occupation of vast Congolese territories by Rwanda raises major questions of sovereignty and security, highlighting the crucial role of the international community in conflict resolution.
In this context, the United States, a key player on the international scene, affirms its priorities for this General Assembly. These include securing international peace, revitalizing the UN humanitarian system, and promoting inclusiveness in the international system. These goals seek to address current challenges and build a more peaceful and sustainable future for present and future generations.
With multiple hotbeds of conflict around the world, from tensions between Israel and Hamas to the situation in Ukraine, the United States calls for collective action to promote stability and ensure a secure future for millions of people affected by these crises. Commitment to civil society and democracy is at the heart of this approach, emphasizing the importance of all actors participating in building a more just and peaceful world.
Regarding the crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United States expresses concern over the dire humanitarian situation and strongly condemns the violence against civilians. While emphasizing that there is no military solution to this conflict, the United States encourages ongoing diplomatic dialogues, such as the Luanda and Nairobi processes, and calls for continued negotiations between the DRC and Rwanda to end this crisis.
Through its position at this General Assembly, the United States affirms a clear commitment to peace, security, and respect for human rights, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation to address global challenges. In a world plagued by multiple turmoil, the need for collective and concerted action is essential to building a safer and more just future for all.
