04/25/2017 “If you truly care for the people of South Sudan, then we must tell the South Sudanese government that we are not going to put up with this anymore. If you care about the leadership of this Security Council, we should not allow a Presidential Statement to be totally ignored. And the person that’s benefitting from the division of this Council is the South Sudanese government. So if you want them to continue to harass the people of South Sudan, if you want to continue to see starvation in South Sudan, doing nothing is exactly what you need to keep doing. But if we’re going to stop it, and if we’re really going to truly say we want to help the people of South Sudan, that’s not about dialogue. That’s not about hope. That’s not about wishes. That’s about action, and I call on this Security Council to act.” – Ambassador Nikki Haley By United States Mission to the United Nations | 25 April, 2017 | Topics: Exclude, Highlights | Tags: Archive 2017-2021 Suggested for You Remarks by Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield at a UN General Assembly Commemorative Meeting on the Intl Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Remarks at a UN Security Council Arria-Formula Meeting on Integrating the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons into the Security Council’s Work
