Monsieur le Président Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, members of the Council, for months we have been listening to Rwanda try to justify what is unjustifiable, to justify its repeated aggression, its war of occupation, and the pillaging of our resources. Today, again, we have heard the Rwandan representative try to legitimize not only Rwanda's attacks against the Democratic Republic of the Congo. and its people, but also its attacks on the very legal architecture of this organization. We listened to Rwanda try to legitimize its war following the displacement of millions of civilians, following the pillaging of our resources in the hundreds of tons, and even after the killing of dozens of blue helmets and African peacekeepers. I remind this council that yesterday the High Commissioner for Human Rights documented summary executions of children. by the um RDF M twenty three coalition in Bukabu. Ladies and gentlemen, members of the council, trying to justify the execution of children's is uh so ignoble and abject and I simply cannot even find a response to it today. The Permanent Representative Rwanda, you have already lost the battle of truth. Thank you. Покажіть.
