    1. On the basis of our own history and experience, we remain committed to ensuring thevoices of the most vulnerable are better heard. The international community should havelearned from far too many prior mistakes that politics must not cloud our judgement norbe a barrier to action. On Myanmar, the General Assembly has spoken loudly byadopting Resolution 75/287 earlier this year, with only one objection, urging the armedforces to halt lethal force and respect the free will of the people.In addition, the Marshall lslands is proud to have joined cross-regional joint statementsat the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council expressing strong concernregarding human rights issues in the Xianxing region of the People's Republic of Chinaas well as recent developments in Hong Kong. lf a truly independent visit by the UNHigh Commissioner for Human Rights still remains unscheduled, we would stronglyencourage all available options to be pursued to deepen the HRC's analysis andassessment.

    1. Third, we must strengthen solidarity and promote mutual respect and win-win cooperation in conducting international relations. A world of peace and development should embrace civilizations of various
    2. forms, and must accommodate diverse paths to modernization. Democracy is not a special right reserved to an individual country, but a right for the people of all countries to enjoy. Recent developments in the global situation show once again that military intervention from the outside and so-called democratic transformation entail nothing but harm. We need to advocate peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, which are the common values of humanity, and reject the practice of forming small circles or zero-sum games.Differences and problems among countries, hardly avoidable, need to be handled through dialogue and cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual respect. One country's success does not have to mean another country's failure, and the world is big enough to accommodate common development and progress of all countries. We need to pursue dialogue and inclusiveness over confrontation and exclusion. We need to build a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, equity, justice and win-win cooperation, and do the best we can to expand the convergence of our interests and achieve the biggest synergy possible.The Chinese people have always celebrated and striven to pursue the vision of peace, amity and harmony. China has never and will never invade or bully others, or seek hegemony. China is always a builder of world peace, contributor to global development, defender of the international order and provider of public goods. China will continue to bring the world new opportunities through its new development.

    1. Fifth, in a polarised world, it is more important than ever to return todialogue. Switzerland's International Geneva traditionally provides a neutral platform for discussion. Earlier this year, one of the events it hosted wasthe Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF), which resulted in the appointment of a Unified Executive Authority –a first for the country since 2014 –which is tasked with preparing national elections. Switzerland is very concerned about the plight of the Afghan population. It welcomes the humanitarian conference on Afghanistan convened by the Secretary-General last week in Geneva. Switzerlandis also working hardto promote international law, including humanitarian law, in order to avoid conflicts or reduce their effects. Switzerland is proud to have prepared its report on the implementation of international humanitarian law. I call on all UN member states to do the same. Such reports enable states to assesstheir good practices and the challenges to befaced
