He continued: "Good regulation is important to ensure that the ocean’s resources are not exploited".

It can abuse its veto right to prevent sanctions against itself. It can exploit the Security Council to disseminate propaganda, disinformation as well as lies. The UN Charter, however, says that Security Council members must abstain from a vote when they themselves are the object of a vote. I call on Council Members to invoke this provision when Russia is concerned."</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-og-group-ref field-type-entityreference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Groups audience:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="https://www.un.org/en/live/unga78">General Assembly 78 Live Blog</a></div></div></div></description> <pubDate>Thu, 21 Sep 2023 19:34:19 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>BKOSTOVA</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="false">209796 at https://www.un.org</guid> </item> </channel> </rss>
