War is the problem.”Ĭsaba Kőrösi (Hungary), Assembly President, marking the grim and first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, highlighted the despair, displacement, destruction and death that Europe has not seen in decades. Complacency will only deepen this crisis, he emphasized, adding: “War is not the solution. Reiterating the United Nations’ unequivocal commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine, within its internationally recognized borders, he stressed that it is high time to step back from the brink. We don’t have a moment to lose,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed in his opening remarks.
The longer the fighting continues, the more difficult this work will be. “While prospects may look bleak today, we know that genuine, lasting peace must be based on the Charter and international law. Resuming an emergency special session on Ukraine almost to the day of the first-year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, the General Assembly met today to consider a draft resolution introduced by that country’s delegation that, if approved, would underscore the need to reach a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine as soon as possible in line with the Charter of the United Nations.
