We have to admit that [the decision to enrich uranium at Fordo] runs counter to the relevant resolutions of the International Atomic Energy Agency and of the UN Security Council
For that reason we call on them to turn the issue over to the UN Security Council and we ask that the international community intervene because they are more capable of protecting Syrians at this stage than our Arab brothers
I hope the UN Security Council handles Syria in a coherent manner and with asense of gravity
The Quartet recalled its previous statements, and affirmed its determination to actively and vigorously seek a comprehensive resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, on the basis of UN Security Council Resolutions 242, 338, 1397, 1515, 1850, the Madrid principles including land for peace, the Roadmap, a...
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a responsible country, China will continue to work with the rest of the international community to promote peace, stability and development in West Asia (Middle East) and North Africa
want to be hedged for complete disaster – World War III…. Eventually, we will have a war, big time. Maybe you don't have divisions of tanks facing each other, but it should be clear that China is an active supporter of North Korea and the Taliban. And now with the US endorsing a seat for India on the UN...
Lebanon, which committed to respecting international resolutions, commits to fully implementing [U.N. Security Council] Resolution 1701 without any distinction or selectivity, reserving its legitimate right to liberate its occupied land by all available means
It is a matter of extending the mandate so that all the works can be carried out to bring justice to the perpetrators of this crime ... That is something to be decided by me in consultation with the U.N. Security Council and Lebanese authorities.
Imposing sanctions on a Chinese company based on a domestic (U.S.) law is totally unreasonable, and does not conform to the spirit or content of U.N. Security Council resolutions about the Iran nuclear issue
It's been a criminal offence for anyone to even buy lunch for Mr. Abdelrazik since he returned to Canada and also to have bank accounts is prohibited unless the UN Security Council approves it. To get a job the Security Council had to approve it, which made it practically impossible
Better relations with the United States will only be possible if the entire government respects the international consensus against the spread of nuclear weapons ... We look to Naypyitaw to honor U.N. Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874 and sever illicit ties with North Korea.
I have to confess that I think that the UN could play a more proactive role in Myanmar and in many other parts of the world. This is not, of course, entirely the fault of the UN Security Council veto alone, which is enough to stop some suggested plan from going forward
There was some concern about nuclear cooperation, though one official told us on the plane that the U.S. hasn't seen signs of a substantial nuclear effort. But there's a lot of concern that North Korea may be selling missile technology to Myanmar in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
The sanctions are extremely damaging to our business and preventing us from expanding our business. We would like the U.N. Security Council to address the issue
The hasty measure taken by the UN Security Council to condemn the Iranian students' move (against the British embassy in Tehran) is aimed at concealing the past crimes of the U.S. and the UK
Russia also demands that a full and objective investigation into allegations on organ trafficking be launched, under the auspices of the UN Security Council
The UN Security Council's hasty condemnation of the Iranian students’ action seeks to conceal U.S. and British crimes, whereas Iranian police forces have tried to keep the peace
Last month Azerbaijan was elected to the UN Security Council and next year will host the Eurovision song contest, watched by around 125 million people each year.

This is a blatant violation of Resolution 1701. France considers stability along the Blue Line to be of great importance, along with the respect of the cease-fire established by the UN Security Council in 2006. We request the Lebanese army with the support of UNIFIL investigate this event.
This catalogue of grotesque human rights abuses of Syrians, of all ages, is a chilling indictment of the Bashar al-Assad regime ... The UN Security Council should immediately refer Assad to the International Criminal Court, and impose economic and political sanctions on Syria aimed at significantly uppi...
We also from the German side are working very intensively for a UN Security Council resolution regarding the events in Syria and the massive human rights abuses
This is a serious incident in violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1701 and is clearly directed at undermining stability in the area
It is not a framework to solve the issue of Kosovo and Metohija, but it provides good conditions for political dialogue. In all talks we always insist on KFOR's impartiality.
