6
Dear colleagues, Excellencies, before we conclude this session of the general debate,
7
I would like to tell you that one delegation has requested to exercise the right of reply.
8
I would like to remind members that statements made in exercise of the right of reply...
9
are limited to 10 minutes for the first intervention and 5 minutes for the second intervention
10
and that delegations must take the floor from their seats.
11
I now give the floor to the representative of India.
12
Thank you.
13
Thank you.
14
Mr. President.
15
We exercise, our right of reply to one more attempt by the leader of Pakistan,
16
to tarnish the image of this August Forum by bringing in matters internal to my country,
17
and going so far as to spew falsehoods on the world stage.
18
While such statements deserve our collective contempt and sympathy for the mindset of the person who utters falsehood repeatedly
19
I am taking the flow to set the record straight.
20
Regrettably, This is not the first time the leader of Pakistan has misused platforms provided by the UN to propagate false
21
and malicious propaganda against my country and seeking in vain to divert the world's attention from the sad state of his country,
22
where terrorists enjoy free pass while the lives of ordinary people especially those belonging to the minority communities,
23
are turned upside down.
24
Mr. President, Member States are aware that Pakistan hasn't established history and policy of harbouring,
25
aiding, and actively supporting terrorists.
26
This is a country, which has been globally recognized as one openly supporting,
27
training, financing, and arming terrorists as a matter of state policy.
28
It holds the ignoble record of hosting the largest number of terrorists proscribed by the UN Security Council.
29
Mr. President, we marked the solemn occasion of the 20th anniversary of the 9 /11 terror attacks just a few days back.
30
The world has not forgotten that the mastermind behind that dastardly event Osama bin Laden got shelter in Pakistan.
31
Pakistan leadership continues to glorify him as a martyr.
32
Regrettably, Even today, We heard the leader of Pakistan trying to justify acts of terror.
33
Such defense of terrorism is unacceptable in the modern world.
34
We keep hearing that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism.
35
This is the country which is an arsonist disguising itself as a firefighter.
36
Pakistan nurtures terrorists.
37
in their backyard, in the hope that they will only harm their neighbors.
38
Our region, in fact, the entire world, has suffered because of their policies.
39
On the other hand, They are trying to cover up sectarian violence in their country as acts of terror.
40
Mr. President.
41
This is also the country that still holds the despicable record
42
in our region of having executed a religious and cultural genocide against the people of what is now Bangladesh.
43
As we mark the 50th anniversary this year of that horrid event in history, There is not even an acknowledgement much less accountability.
44
Today, the minorities of Pakistan the Sikhs, the Hindus, the Christians, live in constant fear and state -sponsored suppression of their rights.
45
This is a regime.
46
were anti -Semitism, is normalized by its leadership.
47
and even justified.
48
Dissenting voices are muzzled daily and enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings are well documented.
49
Mr. President, Unlike Pakistan, India is a pluralistic democracy.
50
with a substantial population of minorities, who have gone on to hold highest offices in the country.
51
including as president, Prime Minister Chief Justices, and chiefs of army staff.
52
India is also a country with a free media and an independent judiciary.
53
that keeps a watch and protects our Constitution.
54
Pluralism is a concept which is very difficult to understand for Pakistan which constitutionally prohibits its minorities
55
from aspiring for high offices of the state.
56
the least they could do is introspect before exposing themselves to ridicule on the world stage.
57
Finally, Mr. President.
58
Let me reiterate here that the entire Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were
59
are and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India.
60
This includes the areas that are under the illegal occupation of Pakistan.
61
We call upon Pakistan to immediately vacate all areas under its illegal occupation.
62
Mr. President.
63
Allow me to be categorical about India's position.
64
We desire normal relations with all our neighbours, including Pakistan.
65
However, It is for Pakistan.
66
to work sincerely towards creating a conducive atmosphere, including by taking credible,
67
Verifiable and irreversible actions to not allow any territory under its control to be used for cross -border terrorism against India
68
in any manner.
69
I thank you, Mr. President.
70
Mr. President, every year this Assembly has rejected the imposition of laws and regulations with extraterritorial impact
71
and all other forms of coercive economic measures that hurt the progress and prosperity of the people the world over.
72
- Thank you.
73
Last year, 187 member states voted in favor of Resolution 78 /7, expressing their strong support to lifting of the embargo.
74
The General Assembly, has also called upon all states to refrain from promulgating and applying
75
and to repeal and invalidate laws and measures that have extraterritorial effects affecting the sovereignty of other states.
76
in conformity with their obligations under the UN Charter and international law.
77
There is no doubt that the continued existence of this embargo in contravention of the overwhelming opinion as expressed by this Assembly,
78
undermines multilateralism, and the credibility of the United Nations itself.
79
Mr. President, As the world's largest democracy with abiding faith in multilateralism,
80
India stands in solidarity with this assembly in its unambiguous rejection of domestic laws having extraterritorial impact.
81
Such embargoes have the effect of impeding the full achievement of economic and social development by the population of the affected country.
82
in particular, women and children.
83
They also hinder the full enjoyment of human rights, including the right to development, Food.
84
medical care and social services, among other things.
85
India has consistently opposed any unilateral measures by countries that impinge on the sovereignty of another country.
86
as in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, The recently adopted Pact for the Future has also strongly urged states to refrain from promulgating
87
and applying unilateral economic measures not in accordance with international law, and the Charter of the United Nations.
88
that impede the full achievement of economic and social development, particularly in developing countries.
89
Mr. President,
90
Successive reports of the Secretary General have established that the embargo particularly through its extraterritorial effects has adversely affected the Cuban people,
91
and the developmental efforts of the country.
92
with particularly devastating effects going to shortages of essential commodities.
93
The continued embargo would severely impact Cuba's ability to implement the 2030 Agenda in the six years that remain.
94
Mr. President.
95
People -to -people contact holds immense possibilities.
96
for fostering better understanding between nations.
97
There is no doubt that the people of Cuba can contribute much to the needs of the global community today.
98
But to enable this, The international community needs to intensify its efforts to promote an environment free from sanctions and embargoes.
99
India hopes that the embargo will be withdrawn at the earliest, and supports the draft resolution moved by Cuba.
100
I thank you.

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?
Nel video di oggi, assistiamo a un discorso potente di Sneha Dubey, primo segretario dell'India alle Nazioni Unite. Quest'intervento non solo affronta questioni rilevanti a livello globale, ma offre anche un contesto ricco per gli studenti di inglese che desiderano migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la propria abilità comunicativa. Ascoltare e ripetere il discorso aiuta a comprenderne la struttura e l'emozione, essenziali per un'efficace shadow speak. Inoltre, trattandosi di una situazione diplomatica di alto livello, gli studenti possono apprendere vocaboli formali e frasi che saranno utili in contesti professionali.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
- “We exercise our right of reply”: Questa frase illustra un uso attivo della forma “to exercise” che implica prendere parte a una discussione in modo assertivo. Viene utilizzata per indicare un diritto formale, utile in conversazioni legali o politiche.
- “This is a country which has been globally recognized”: L'uso del passivo qui è cruciale. Permette di focalizzarsi sull'azione piuttosto che sul soggetto, una struttura che può essere utilizzata per enfatizzare l'importanza di un'idea in inglese.
- “The world has suffered because of their policies”: La struttura della frase permette di discutere effetti globali, rendendola efficiente per descrivere cause e conseguenze. Questo è particolarmente utile nel linguaggio persuasivo.
- “This is a regime where anti-Semitism is normalized”: Qui, la forma “is normalized” serve a descrivere una condizione attuale e utilizzare i tempi verbali correttamente rappresenta un aspetto chiave nell'apprendimento dell'inglese.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nell'ascoltare Sneha Dubey, emergono alcune parole e frasi che possono risultare complicate da pronunciare per i non madrelingua. Un esempio è “terrorism”, dove il suono “terror” è spesso pronunciato in modo errato. È fondamentale esercitarsi a fare attenzione alla chiara enunciazione delle consonanti finali. Altre parole come “Pakistan” e “democratic” richiedono un focus particolare sulla sillabazione, con accenti specifici che possono cambiare il significato in contesti diversi. Utilizzando il metodo shadowspeak, gli studenti possono riflettere attentamente sulle differenze di accento e pronuncia per migliorare le loro capacità oratorie.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
