05:06 I thank the distinguished representative.
05:09 The decision of the Russian Olympic Committee to include regional branches of the National Olympic Committee of Temporary Occupied Parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions is another dimension in its violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and should be condemned.
05:25 We commend the International Olympic Committee for its decision to suspend the Russian Olympic Committee membership.
05:31 Russian Federation must be banned from any international sporting activities, including the Olympics, until their troops are withdrawn from Ukraine and until the territorial integrity of Ukraine is restored in internationally recognized borders.
05:48 Thank you.
05:50 I now call on His Excellency Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee.

06:01 I cannot remember a time when the world was facing so much confrontation, division, and polarization.
06:17 Despite the urgent need for global cooperation, our world is fragmenting.
06:26 The scourge of war and violence is growing.
06:31 Political, social, and economic divisions are gaining more and more ground over solidarity and shared values.
06:40 In this fragile world, this Olympic truce resolution is more relevant than ever.
06:50 In these difficult times, this resolution is our opportunity to send an unequivocal signal to the world.
07:00 Yes, we can come together, even in times of wars and crises.
07:09 Yes, we can join hands and work together for a better future.
07:19 One of the aspects of non-discrimination is that athletes cannot be held responsible for the actions of their governments or their national Olympic committees.
07:34 All athletes who are qualified on the field of play and are abiding by the rules of the Olympic Charter must have an opportunity to participate in international competitions.
07:52 We are upholding this principle of non-discrimination also in the context of the violation of the Olympic Charter by the National Olympic Committee of Russia.
08:06 We had to suspend them because they violated the territorial integrity of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine by including as their members sports organizations of Ukrainian regions.
08:25 Upholding all these Olympic values is the contribution that we in the Olympic movement can make to build a better and more peaceful world through sport.
08:40 In this Olympic spirit, I call on you to come together, adopt the resolution, but even more importantly, uphold this noble Olympic truth.
08:57 Please, give peace a chance. Thank you very much.
09:07 I thank the President of the International Olympic Committee.
09:10 We shall now begin the voting process.
09:13 The General Assembly is now voting on draft resolution A/78/L9 entitled "Building a Peaceful and Better World through Sport and the Olympic Ideal."
09:28 Will all delegations confirm that the votes are accurately reflected on the screen?
09:36 The result of the vote is as follows.
09:40 In favor, 118; against, 0; abstention, 2.
09:48 Draft resolution A/78/L9 is adopted.
09:55 I thank the representative of the Secretariat.
10:04 The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 11.
10:12 The meeting is adjourned.
