Member states have the option to reply to comments on the day (or even to the days prior), but are limited to 10 minutes for the first response and five minutes for the second response. All speeches are made from the floor, as opposed to the podium for the General Debate.

Iran used its turn to respond (through a translator) to Israel in saying that the "representative of the Israeli regime made unfounded allegations by trying to deceive the world to distract public opinion from hideous actions of his regime. The nature of the regime that is founded on occupation, violence, and terror can in no way be covered up by accusing others." He said that Israel has "weapons of mass misinformation but in this information age it is becoming useless day-by-day. Instead of trying to deceive he should explain to the Assembly why it has invaded all of its neighbours and even beyond the region. It has waged over 15 wars in its lifetime. Why does it ignore tens of resolutions of this Assembly, as well as over 100 resolutions? he spoke today...why does the state sponsor of terrorism continue such acts, including of supporting ISIS by providing arms and assistance...sure this regime has an exceptional capability in committing all crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression, including oppression. It is exceptional in barbarity. It has an exceptional capability in killing women and children, destroying homes, schools, and hospitals. It has an exceptional capability in terrorism. He claimed his regime saves live around the world but why does it oppress Palestinians daily. Why does it jail and arrest thousands of Palestinians and why does it carry out a blockade against millions in the Gaza Strip. Does he think that by wearing white he can cover up his red hands? Does he think the world forgets the Sabra and Shatila massacre? He did not explain why the regime, despite its arsenal of conventional weapons, does it have chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Why is it not a party to end weapons of mass destruction, in particular the NPT. Why does it reject the establish of a nuclear-free Middle East despite repeated calls by the UN, the international community and this Assembly over the past 30 years? One question he was expected to answer is why his regime which is the only nuclear weapons possessor in the Middle East, hides behind the doctrine of strategic ambiguity. He shamelessly lectures the world on non-proliferation and accuses Iran, whose nuclear capability has been approved by the IAEA. He tried to abuse this Assembly by only accusing others. He also tried to create anxiety over the JCPOA."

The session was then ended for the day.

Ukraine responded to Russia in saying that it would be brief due to the late hour (about 22:45). The representative said that the "last thing the General Assembly needs is to get into different exchanges. Russia is recognised by the United Nation as an occupying power in Ukraine. recognised by the General Assembly, the most representative UN body. Russia has no moral right to lecture on Ukraine until it returns sovereignty."

India then responded to Pakistan in criticising its "defence of terrorism. It is odd that the state that sheltered Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar should have the gumption to suggest terrorism. Thus this august Assembly and the world knows that efforts to create history does not change . Pakistan's name from the land of the pure to pure terror. Pakistan is Terroristan. Hafeez Sayyeed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Its counter terrorism strategy has involved it being a haven to terrorists. It protects terrorists. Pakistan must understand that Jammu and Kashmir will always remain an integral part of India. However it ramps up terror, this will not change. Pakistan spoke of its supposed counter terrorism efforts, having diverted international aid to infrastructure of terror, Pakistan is now talking of its suffering from terrorism. The world does not need lectures on democracy and human rights from a state defined as a failed state. Terroristan...if it is committed to civilisation the world may still understand."

Afghanistan responded to Pakistan in referring to "safe havens of terror in Pakistan. Pakistan diverts attention from failure to take action against groups with sanctuaries in its territory. Those in Pakistan constitute the main source of instability to Afghanistan and the region. Efforts to this end, from this platform, have yielded nothing. Pakistan prevents a constructive approach to peace and stability in the region and the world. Where was Osama bin Laden killed? Near the capital, Islamabad. Where did Mullah Omar die? In an hospital in Karachi. Where was his successor Mullah Akhtar Mansour found and killed by foreign forces? Quetta in Pakistan. Which passport did he have to travel? Pakistan. From what country has almost every terrorist group entered Afghanistan? From Pakistan. Incessant support for extremist groups by Pakistan... so-called civil war in Afghanistan has been so by the use of proxies for political purposes in Afghanistan. Now the time has come for Pakistan to adopt a constructive approach to promote peace in the region. Lastly Abbasi admitted in an interview a few days ago that the truck used in a bombing might have come from Pakistan to Afghanistan. We will use dialogue to ensure stability for our people. In this context, our resolve to defeat terrorism is unwavering, as is shown by our security forces everyday."

Pakistan then responded to India (and added a response to Afghanistan) by saying "that it is unfortunate India criticises Pakistan. The oppressed people of Kashmir by Indian occupation forces. The people of occupied Kashmir look to the international community to carry out a free and fair plebiscite to determine their future. The misconceptions India creates is such that only yesterday Indian forces on the Line of Control in Kashmir killed 10 people where many, including women, lost their lives. The strategy of offense-defense is flouted blatantly by India... will never succeed. Commander Kulbhushan Yadav was caught red handed in Pakistan for spreading and espionage. For our Bangladesh brothers and sisters,...we have to come out of hate. The 1971 war issues were resolved by the signing of a tripartite agreement. We have to move on."
The representative then responded to Afghanistan in saying that "instead of blaming others, should focus on eliminating terrorists in places it cannot control."

The session was then closed for the day by the president of the General Assembly.

Serbia responded to Albania in saying that "as the General Assembly searches for numerous challenges the world is faced with...the same is for Serbia. In order to achieve this, Serbia seeks regional cooperation. We share the western Balkans working together. During the 72nd session of the General Assembly numerous dignitaries underlined sovereignty. Albania again used this august body to call for the independence of the Serbian southern province, so-called state of Kosovo. This is against the charter and the principles of the UN. contended that the dialogue is between two states and not Belgrade and Pristina...outstanding issues are being addressed in Brussels by the European Union between Belgrade and Pristina. What the prime minister of Albania said may jeopardise the future. my government's priorities is to reach a solution that is acceptable to all taking into account all communities in Kosovo-Metohija. Kosovo is not independent nor a UN member state. Serbia will use all its means to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity."

Qatar responded to the UAE (through a translator) in criticising the "allegations and false claims by the UAE against Qatar which faces an illegal siege and encroachment on its national sovereignty. face an attempt to defame Qatar and trying to hurt its relations with other countries... impose an unjust and unlawful siege. We face actions against our media. violation of good neighbourliness and of the charter of the GCC is thus rejected by many countries. Many countries talked of the negative impact of the siege. The unity of our people solidarity with countries around the world . We believe these measures hurt, despite many attempts to defame Qatar, the international community knows the objective of this campaign. failed to prove what they sought. The record of Qatar in confronting terrorism is known to all and our partners in this fight. better than the record of those stating what is contrary to that. Qatar is also working through bilateral mechanisms to fight terror and dry up its source of funding. Whether freezing assets or prevent travelling...the state of Qatar will always be firm in confronting ...we all bear collectively responsibility in the charter and perspectives...respect for sovereignty and human rights. This is the best forum to defend international law. UAE must put an end to all violations perpetrated against Security Council such as in Libya. leading to more terrorism as a result of failed policies."

Albania responded to Serbia's reply "in response to his excellency Edi Rama. We regret at this hour to take the stand but to set the record strait. Let me remind that Kosovo is an independent state. Since 2008 Kosovo is recognised by member states. proved to be a contributor to peace. Kosovo is member of regional groups in south east Europe. It has signed cooperation deals with the EU and is working towards future EU membership. brought clear benefits and an improve atmosphere in the region. Facilitate...youth in particular. Based on this record, the UN and other groups only benefit by recognition of Kosovo. Based on what my prime minister Edi Rama said, move towards stability... good for all countries, Serbia included. Serbia and Kosovo engage in dialogue which brought the two countries together to engage issues for the good of its citizens. best investment for them to work towards reconciliation. This is what both need...for peace and the future in Europe."

The UAE responded (through a translator) to Qatar's response in saying that "we regret to see the state of Qatar has once again sought to distract the representatives here. Four countries took measures against the state of Qatar claiming to fight terrorism, but those genuinely fight terrorism in line with international law...To break relations was not difficult but a direct response to Qatar's own actions which destabilise the region. The state that meddles in other Arab states. In point of fact, Qatar is in violation of international law and resolutions of the UN. We will continue with measures taken because we found no other way against Qatar's hostile actions. They can choose to be a rogue state against international law or work in cooperation ."

Egypt then also responded (through a translator) to Qatar in saying "we do not find it odd that the delegation of state of Qatar is using allegations to defend ...Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain are fed up and take measures to prevent the regime from interference in the internal affairs of others. As is known to all, Qatar supports terror in Syria, Iraq, Libya and others. This regime is financing terrorism; for instance, in Iraq they paid two terrorists a ransom; and this regime is also providing weapons to terrorists and providing them with a safe haven. even giving Qatar nationality and not extraditing per Security Council resolution. also instigating terrorism in a very known way. terrorism support is explicit in the Security Council committee. The insistence the regime to support terrorism is something we all reject. Its objection to go back right country...this is why the four countries acted with international law...and the Qatar regime that fighting and countering terrorism is an obligation on all countries is with relevant resolutions."

Qatar then used its second Right of Reply in saying that it is "truly regrettable that the delegation of UAE would verbally attack Qatar. not surprising as an investigation of the hack of Qatar news agencies . result shows the hacking happened from a nearby Gulf state. This crime with a campaign...and lies were continuation of this campaign. Everybody realises was fabricated. Therefore, ironic the UAE speaks of confronting terrorism when some of its citizens participate in the ugliest acts of terrorism in history."

The session was then closed for the day.

Qatar responded (through a translator) to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in saying "both delegations accuse Qatar of terrorism. Qatar has an excellent record in counter-terrorism and ranks high in that regard. The allegations allude to a link between Qatar and terror are baseless. unlawful campaign against Qatar, with hacking and piracy. Other members used the same and used religious rhetoric to strengthen the claims. These countries are now frustrated and used commercials means to bring pressure on Qatar. to Saudi Arabia, the state of Qatar has strengthened its resolve. In fora such as against the international terror fight, which countries like ours signed, deal to stop funding terrorism. To countries that accuse Qatar of supporting terrorism, we say you need to follow our example. The state of Qatar fully follows Security Council resolutions. constructive role peace and humanitarian assistance. This paves way to stability and root out terrorism.
To Bahrain, a number of contradictions . It is surprising the representative of Bahrain...that criticises Qatar used to commend Qatar. What Bahrain is experiencing has a stability effect on the region....counter to our excellent record. It is surprising Bahrain is accusing us of terrorism. We call upon the kingdom of Bahrain to work tirelessly to overcome problems it is facing to support huamn rights. refrain from marginalising the rule of law. The state of Qatar to obscure internal problems Bahrain is facing will not yield to any resolve. against Qatar are unacceptable. Is it conceivable to prevent students from attending studies? Is it not tagainst human rights? What about legislating laws that put pressure on any citizens that just express sympathy with Qatar... this rhetoric that fuels the campaign against Qatar."

Pakistan responded to India in saying that India had "indulged in an orgy of slander against my country. The comments to Pakistan betrays the hostility the leadership has to Pakistan. hostility endured for 70 long years. In her vitriol, the Indian foreign minister deliberately ignored the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. Let me be clear, Kashmir is not a part of India; it is recognised by the UN as disputed territory. I invite you to look at UN maps. In over dozen resolutions the UN has resolved to let the people of Jammu and Kashmir decide their destiny through a plebiscite. India accepts the resolutions but obfuscates. Women and men have been shot dead . Today violence continues with pellet guns children being shot. Everyday people come out to protest. If the parties do not resolve , the UN has not only the right but an obligation to help resolve dispute. In the case of Jammu and Kashmir, this is explicit since the Security Council has been involved in how the situation should be resolved. Resolutions have no expiry date. Law has not expiry date...India has not morality against the Security Council. India now also refuses bilateral dialogue with Pakistan, either composite or comprehensive. Violence emanates first and formeost from Indian repression of Kashmir. My prime minister proposed secretary-general should appoint a special envoy to promote the specifics of the resolutions. In the meantime, should take steps... de-list draconian emergency laws and punish those respoinsible for the genocide in Kashmir. If India want to avoid conflict with Pakistan... must end ceasefire violations. must halt support for terrorist groups inside Pakistan. India speaks a lot about terror, UN should define terrorism, includ state terrorism. What India's national security advisor boasted against spy agencies in country...Pakistan has in its custody the Indian spy Kulbushan Yadav who confessed to terrorist activities in my country. In fact, it sponsored and perpetrates terrorism and commits aggression against all its neighbours. supports subversion in Pakistan. All proves India is the mother of terrorists in South Asia. In 70 years of independence, India engaged in over dozen use of force; and it has over 17 insurgencies in its own land. The Indian foreign minister sought to denigrate the founding father of my country, Muhammed Ali Jinnah... regime that has the blood of thousands of Muslims in Gujurat...today India is...ruled by a regime who is fascist. by the RSS, the same group that assassinated Gandhi. appointed a fanatic in its largest state. government allows the lynching of Muslims. amply documented by human rights organisations. As indeed one of India's biggest authors wrote, and I quote, 'dalits, adivasis await repression' and 'much of the terror in Kashmir.' the foreign minister talks of human rights, who is using pellet guns blinding children? Who is using terrorism against not only Kashmir but hundreds of Indians? Who is using to crush in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. In conclusion, Pakistan remains open to resume comprehensive dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues, including Kashmir. But [sic] dialogue must be against campaign of state-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan."

Bahrain responded (through a translator) to Qatar in saying that "in response to Qatar's allegations...Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and supported by several countries. These four countries practice one part, then the whole resolution . Qatar interfered in the kingdom to create chaos. threat fabric of Bahrain by giving nationality to many Bahraini families. also trying since the beginning of boycott measures taken by the four countries by spreading violat human rights. Although Qatar knows, the kingdom of Bahrain ha taken measures in order to make sure all humanitarian cases are taken under consideration whether for studies or health. The measures by the four countries are sovereign measures, the right of any country under international law. These allegations of boycott is refuted by Qatar other claims when they talk of economic growth. It is their right however, but they should behave in way and behave in a uncooperative . Qatar trying to exploit international fora for its interests. Bahrain suffered as Qatar not take good neighhbourliness. We have good ties, family ties . However, Qatar supporting instability in Bahrain through financing terrorist group... or through media to spread false news in order to create chaoswith more than 800 false news media. Bahrain long respects free media. Democracy in Bahrain. We have a fully elected parliament and let parliament carry out its work. Therefore, all these achievements are non existent in Qatar...their constitution has no parliament. not interfere, it is their choice. However, believe reform process is part of a democratic process. remind our brethren in Qatar easy to criticise others, but should first look at yourself."

Qatar then used its second Right of Reply to respond (through a translator) to Bahrain in saying that it is "regrettable for Bahrain to launch an attack on Qatar. These false llegations on Qatar unjust measures on Qatar. amount to a violation of human rights and the right of expressing opinions. also runs counter to counter-terrorism based on human rights. One cannot fight terror without respect for human rights. accuse of terror but no evidence; these four provide no evidence as none is there. Qatar is better than all four in the field of counter-terrorism. The are against human rights, includ led to cut in family ties. Any allegation Qatar interefered in the internal of these countries are false. Indeed, obscuring these countries interefer in our internal affairs. campaign threaten the unity of Qatar. These countries pay attention to their own unity and human rights. To ensure the stability of the Gulf we need the cooperation of Gulf states. As not able to take a third right of reply, like to present further comments in writing."

The session was then closed for the day by the president of the General Assembly.

Iran responded (through a translator) to Saudi Arabia and UAE in saying that "on Friday (22 September) made several unfounded allegations to Iran...and for spreading taqfiri terrorism. Saudi Arabia and UAE have the audacity to accuse Iran of spreading terrorism and against interference in the internal affairs against basic human rights of Bahraini people. regime seeks to stop human rights of the Bahraini people. Let me conclude ... against the rights of Gulf people."

Indonesia respond to comments from the "Republic of Vanuatu, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (amongst others)...against the people of West Papua. Time and again false accusation are thrown at us. These countries...refuse to understand. Papua has been through massive progress... infrastructure build basic healthcare, free education...with economy growing... makes fastest growing region in Indonesia. will always remember remaining a part of Indonesia. If human rights are at the heart of issues, why not raised in an appropriate forum the Human Rights Council. If Indonesia has to hide in this day and age of information technology will be known...This way to hide from ones own domestic problems. Such actions are illegal and should not condone in principle the UN Charter. cannot accept...Indonesia rejects . conclude, with loosely translat, slap the bucket of water will slap on face."

India responded to Pakistan's response from the previous day in saying that "on Saturday 23 September, she callously did with a picture of a girl from Palestine. taken by photographer Heidi Levine...the permanent representative of Pakistan misled this Assembly by displaying this picture to spread falsehood about India. A fake picture to push a completely false narrative....Umar Fayaz was kidnapped and brutally tortured by Pakistan. This is the true picture of harsh reality...especially Jammu and Kashmir sees everyday. true face of Pakistan is not hidden from anyone."

UAE responded (through a translator) to Iran in saying "the three isles (Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Musa) integral part of UAE. categorically reject allegations...especially to use the ICJ... cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the region...Iran seeks to import terrorism to other countries of the region. The Islamic republic of Iran is supporting terrorism in Lebanon and Yemen. This (UN) organisation's legality and legitimacy is respected in my country...in Yemen...to emerge from crisis... and GCC resolutions. Iran has...ammunition sent illegally to that country (Yemen)...as well Security Council resolutions, 2231...proves that Iran has expansionist role in the regions... threatens Yemen...to not just Houthis but other groups who are loyal to former President Salah... call on to seize ."

Bahrain responded to Iran in saying Iran " human right against its own people. The Iranian regime shows clearly violate...against the world. condemn hateful actions taken by Iran in support of terrorism... intervention in affairs [of other countries.

Pakistan then used its "second Right of Reply" to say that "no matter how many times... cannot divert attention. real issue... raped everyday by Indian occupation forces... backfired does not hide... seeking to hide behind a photo? Thousands of pictures to prove terrorism. Let me tell you, Mister president, Kashmiris will never give up...just like the people of Palestine, will never give up... ask the world body to act. No woman is again...Kashmiri will continue to rise again and again.
