Statement by H.E. Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes, PR of Latvia to the United Nations at UN Security Council meeting (Adoption) on resolution submitted by the Kingdom of Bahrain
New York, 11 March 2026
Thank you, President.
Latvia voted in favour and co-sponsored the resolution submitted by Bahrain on behalf of the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Jordan.
We express our full solidarity with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and other affected countries that are victims of the unprovoked attacks by the Iranian regime. We appreciate the Council listening to their concerns, just as it should listen to other states facing unprovoked aggression.
Latvia welcomes the clear focus of the resolution on respect for the United Nations Charter and international law, as well as the timely description of violations of these fundamental principles by the Iranian regime. We recall that these aggressive and destabilizing acts follow a long series of attempts by the Iranian regime and its proxies to challenge international law and both regional and global peace and security.
We underline the constructive and reasoned manner in which this resolution was drafted and commend the good work of Bahrain amid this trying time of unjust aggression. It is a very clear and strong message of this Council, supported by 135 UN member states and we welcome its adoption.
I thank you!
