Statement of Saint Kitts and Nevis at the UNGA72

SDGs: “Mr. President we cannot speak of attaining the Sustainable Development Goals without a focus on our youths.”

SDGs: “Whilst the budgets alone of some Governments will be inadequate to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, others are using multiple times these budgets on developing nuclear warheads.”

Sustainable Peace: “St Kitts and Nevis stands proudly with our Caribbean and Latin American neighbours as a Zone of Peace and exhorts all members of the community of nations to expend every effort to create and promote peace.”

Women: “Whilst some governments are allocating large sums to secure a future for their women and youth, others are investing in the tools of war.”

Disarmament: “My delegation condemns unreservedly the actions, which have led to heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula and calls on all countries to respect and honour their solemn commitments under international law.”
