10/04/2025 | 19:02:32 Thank you, Mister President. I would like to begin, honourable members, by thanking the rapporteur for preparing this timely and important report. Today's international co-operation is being tested. Alliances are shifting and the rules-based international order is increasingly under threat. It is more important than ever that we stand united and strengthen our ties with partners who share our commitment to international law, democracy, and human rights. I fully support the report's call to... 10/04/2025 | 10:34:06 Distinguished members of the Assembly, The adoption of this draft convention and draft explanatory report to it will mark a turning point for international environmental law.

A key step for ensuring justice for victims of the Russian war of aggression was establishing the compensation mechanism and the Register of Damage. The Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression is what must be put in place now. War... 03/10/2024 | 17:35:01 Dear colleagues, the world faces growing threats to food supply chains driven by conflict and geopolitical instability, not just climate change. Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine has pushed 70 million people around the world to the brink of starvation due to disruptions in food supply chains. Russia keeps using famine as a weapon to achieve geopolitical goals around the world. Food security goes beyond access to healthy food in peaceful times. It involves ensuring resilient...
