Security Council Debate on Afghanistan

“Since 2002, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has played an indispensible role in the country’s progress. As Afghanistan continues its transition, UNAMA needs to remain a committed partner, and we as a Council need to sustain our support during this crucial time.”

-Ambassador Susan E. Rice

CSW March

Conclusion of the 57th Session of CSW

“The Agreed Conclusions mark a milestone in our fight for the safety and dignity of women and girls everywhere. The United States celebrates this progress as we pledge to redouble our efforts to protect and support the fundamental rights of all women and girls, both at home and around the world.”

-Ambassador Susan E. Rice

Sudan and South Sudan

“We want to see the signed agreements implemented promptly, fully, and effectively, and the outstanding issues—most importantly the dire situation in the Two Areas and the situation which is now languishing in Abyei—to be addressed.”

-Ambassador Susan E. Rice

New UN Sanctions on DPRK Adopted

“The strength, breadth, and severity of these sanctions will raise the cost to North Korea of its illicit nuclear program and further constrain its ability to finance and source materials and technology for its ballistic missile, conventional, and nuclear weapons programs.”

Commission on the Status of Women

“I come here to reaffirm a simple, bedrock principle: that the rights of my daughter are just as real, just as sacred, just as self-evident as the rights of my son. We cannot live in truly free societies, if women and girls are not free to reach their full potential. We cannot live in truly open societies, if the doors of opportunity are not open equally to all women and all girls.”

-Ambassador Susan E. Rice
