We are concerned that insecurity appears to be spreading and that the government of South Sudan appears to be preparing for large scale attacks in Central Equatoria in the coming days or weeks.

Theodore Allegra: Airstrikes by Russia and the Asad regime are the cause of this devastation, and they are the cause of this suffering…These shocking acts in Aleppo beg for an appropriate investigation and those who commit them must be held accountable.

The United States is committed to the goal of restoring peace and stability in Burundi.

We believe that a Human Rights Council Special Session is urgently needed to address the human rights crisis in Burundi, and ask for the support of all delegations for a resolution that sends a powerful signal to those committing human rights abuses and violations on all sides.

The United States joins consensus on the resolution presented at this special session in solidarity with the countless individuals affected by Boko Haram-related violence.

The United States is deeply troubled by the resolution presented for adoption today. We will vote against it.

The United States remains gravely concerned over the recent violence that has impacted Palestinian and Israeli civilians. We and others are working intensively to secure an immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the November 2012 cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

The U.S. looks forward to the prompt establishment of the COI, which will play a critical role in ensuring that those responsible for serious violations and abuses will be held accountable.

“The Assad regime and its supporters who commit crimes against the Syrian people should know that the world is watching.”
