"Against this background, the Assembly stresses that Greenland cannot be treated as an object of strategic bargaining or acquisition. In accordance with international law, and in particular the principle of self-determination of peoples as affirmed in the Charter of the United Nations, it belongs exclusively to the people of Greenland to decide freely on their political status and future, without external pressure or interference. Respect for this principle is essential to the protection of international legality and democratic legitimacy in Europe."
