“A key difference between Taiwan now and when it lost its seat is that in practice it is also no longer claiming to represent territorial China. That's the big difference that's from the world in 1971 when the ROC [Republic of China] did claim it was going to be the legitimate government for all of China. It's hard to remember the world in that context - but that's also why there was very little sympathy for ROC at that time because it seemed like they were making implausibly ridiculous claims and excluding one billion people from the UN.”

“I condemn the ongoing military coup in Sudan. Prime Minister Hamdok [Abdalla Hamdok] & all other officials must be released immediately. There must be full respect for the constitutional charter to protect the hard-won political transition. The UN will continue to stand with the people of Sudan.”

“Abiy Ahmed's Air Force did once again strike non-military targets around MU campus. While this is not outrageous enough, a UN Aircraft had to abort its landing because of the air strike. Our air defense units knew the UN plane was scheduled to land and it was due in large measure to their restraint it was not caught in a crossfire. What begs the question however is the government cleared the UN plane to fly to #Mekelle only to send its fighter jet in time to raid civilian targets. While the use of the UN flight as a distraction couldn't be ruled out, it is not entirely implausible to suspect that the Smart Alecs in Addis were indeed setting up the UN plane to be hit by our guns. The fact that the plane that came today was denied permit yesterday couldn't be a mere coincidence. Abiy's moves beg for action!”

“These decisions were made at the level of the United Nations. Our expectation is that these people, the Taliban, that now clearly control Afghanistan, will see that the situation develops in a positive way. If that happens, we would decide to take them off the list of terrorist organizations.”

“The People's Republic of China [PRC] has misused Resolution 2758 to prevent Taiwan's meaningful participation. Taiwan's exclusion from UN activities creates an immense cost to the nation, as well as the bloc's members. Beijing is denying the international community the ability to gain valuable contributions that Taiwan offers.”

“The U.N.'s sweeping obstruction of Taiwan's 23.5 million people from participating in the U.N. system is contrary to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the purposes for which the organization was established. The government of the PRC has not ruled Taiwan for a single day and naturally has no right to voice for Taiwanese. The U.N. has repeatedly stressed the post-epidemic era requires the cooperation of all global stakeholders. Taiwan has the determination and ability to contribute to the world and is an essential partner in global cooperation. The U.N should respond positively to Taiwan's expectation of contributing to international society and including Taiwan's meaningful participation in the U.N. and its specialized agencies.”

“This makes last Thursday's announcement by the Government of Ethiopia to expel seven senior UN officials - most of them humanitarian staff - particularly disturbing. This unprecedented expulsion should be a matter of deep concern for us all as it relates to the core of relations between the UN and Member States.”

“The Americans tried to contact us through different channels (at the U.N. General Assembly) in New York, and I told the mediators if America's intentions are serious then a serious indication was needed ... by releasing at least $10 billion of blocked money. They are not willing to free $10 billion belonging to the Iranian nation so that we can say that the Americans once in the past several decades considered the interests of the Iranian nation.”

“The U.S. government condemns in the strongest possible terms the government of Ethiopia's unprecedented action to expel the leadership of all of the United Nations organizations involved in ongoing humanitarian operations. This is a stain on our collective conscience, and it must stop. We must see meaningful steps within weeks to initiate discussions to achieve a negotiated ceasefire, allow unhindered humanitarian access and ensure respect for human rights. Absent significant progress, we'll take action - and we have the methods to do that.”

“The Ethiopian side has been saying that they are open to assist the UN [in] deliver[ing] aid … [while] the UN has been accusing the Ethiopian side of preventing them from delivering aid … the allegations between them are black and white.

“The UN continues to advocate to all parties in Syria to ensure all civilians are afforded their rights, and that any returns are fully informed, voluntary, and dignified. It remains the UN's position that conditions in Syria are not conducive for large-scale, organized returns. The UN is not in a position to make security guarantees and has not made any such guarantees to people living in Rukban.”

“We are surprised the UN is involved in such activities in areas which are really not safe at all. The Syrian regime is not trustworthy. We can't trust the regime with these people. We think the UN in Syria is failing to properly inform Syrians of the situation and their activities in returning Syrians. The research shows a pattern with which the regime treats people coming back from Rukban. These people are not coming back to their homes, they're going to their death. The UN at this point in time have the responsibility to inform people that it is not safe to return, rather than facilitating their return. When you're left between two choices - of either staying in a camp and dying from starvation or cold, or going to Assad detention centres and dying under torture - they choose the lesser evil.”

“Today the UN is like a retired superhero who has forgotten what he could do. He considers himself a burden, a weak, frail, useless old man whose life was in vain. [Russia fueling the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine and Russia's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula] Isn't it evidence of an international crime? Isn't it proof of impunity and disrespect for international law? Moreover, the Russian Federation itself officially declares it. And it forces our citizens of Ukraine to take part in the elections to the Russian parliament. And if the UN does not react efficiently and strongly to this, is that proof that it is too late to revive the UN?”
