The victim, the total party.

Nicoming, Bruce.

The New York Times, Please.

Thank you for the briefing.

Following up my colleague's question on polarisation, At a time when the world is is kind of preoccupied with conflicts that seem to trash all the principles of of human rights and international humanitarian law, are you not concerned that the authority and relevance of this council is being eroded and diminishing?

[Other language spoken]

Whether the authority and relevance of this council is being eroded by essentially the systematic policies being pursued in these conflicts.

[Other language spoken]

You know, Sir, I, I don't think so, because it is well known that the council is the unique fora at hand for the global community, for the United Nation to act when it comes, you know, to the protection, the promotion and the guarantee of human right worldwide.

So we have to preserve this important, you know, institution and whatever is the situation, I do consider and allow me to say that very frankly that the the Council has an impact and that the council, you know, take decisions whenever even on this situation, on this grave situation.

I mean some important decision have been taken, be it on the Ukraine situation, be it on the Middle East and also not to neglect other major crisis currently going on in our world, unfortunately, particularly in DRC, in Sudan, in Yemen and elsewhere.

And just to have a look for our agenda for for the next session.

We will hear from various Commission of enquiry, if I'm not wrong, 6 or 7.

By the way, some of them will come before you in press conferences to, to, I mean put lights on on their work.

And since also I am in, in office, I had a lot of exchanges appointments with the mandate holder.

They are of course, concerned about these situations, but at the same time they're firmly engaged in trying, I mean, to voice on behalf of the international community as they mandate, they are mandated on behalf of the council on these issues.

And of course, when it comes to the council, I am the president, but the council is driven by by the government and my, my duties is to try to, to find bridges between the memberships to be oriented at the best when it comes to these very difficult matters.

But the Council and the I, I thank you for this question.

The consequent credibility is also very important, in my view, and we have to build and to preserve and to, to to strengthen the credibility of the Council during this difficult times.

Mercy, the gentleman on the far right.

If you could please introduce yourself.

Kind of Robin Millard from AFP on on avoiding polarisation in the discussions that you've had with member states, can you can you shed some light on the topics where you think that that might potentially be an issue?

[Other language spoken]

These these the aspects or the if you wish.

So the the elements we have to take care in our discussions.

And as I said, the we have to I mean have an an an approach which take into consideration into consideration the concerns from all sides.

I mean to because some are considering and it is not a secret that the use of the council is excessive from one side towards, you know, the other side.

And, and they request that the, the approach be more consulted for any decision to be taken in advance with a deep dialogue and to try to, to, to, to, let's say, consume all the possibilities of, of exchanges, all the possibilities of dialogue before going to action, before thinking initiative.

And also myself, my own.

And this is, this is now my, my own concern to see if this action will have an impact on the ground.

Because to, just to take a decision and then be confronted by what some of you have described clearly this morning.

I mean facing hurdles, facing lack of cooperation, we have to consider that.

I am not saying that I am in any way alarming on any initiative to be taken by the membership.

It's full right of to take any initiative, to propose any decision.

But we have to to be in a way at least aware of the impact of the decisions of the Council and to to it's a privilege again, dialogue and the president is, let's say the focal point on these issues.

As as I said to all membership, please help me.

Even I myself will try to identify these issues.

[Other language spoken]

But I I said to the membership, please help me also, if you have any queries, if you have any concerns, if you have.

And by the way, many of them are are answering positively to to to this open doors I'm offering.

[Other language spoken]

We have time for one last question, Sir.

[Other language spoken]

You mentioned that some countries are very concerned about sovereignty and the Council should not interfere in, in domestic matters.

But how can the Council express itself on any country without being seen to interfere on domestic matters?

How do you get around that problem?

Well, you know, I mean the, the we have obligations, international obligations, all the membership through the various treaties concerning human rights issues.

And they said we have procedures and we have principles.

Once we respect all these principles, the ones inscribed, embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, and once we respect the procedures as they are tailored within, let's say the system of the Council, then probably the possibility of having the best action, the best adopted action to, to any situation could be easier for all of us to, to, to govern these issues as a council.

I am aware of the fact, of course, that there are some resistance that they, they, there are some misunderstanding, not resistance on these issues which are very again, difficult.

But I will not hear challenge in any way the principles inscribed in the Charter of the United Nations.

As President of the Council, I am obliged by these principles also.

And but this doesn't mean that I'm in the level of cooperation should not be as, as you know, as enthusiastic as possible by all membership that the level of engagement towards human rights because it's our common interest to to to to to, I mean, uphold this fundamental pillar of the of our system of the United Nation.
