The President of Poland will raise the Ukrainian issue at the UN Security Council
On May 17, Polish President Andrzej Duda, during a discussion at the UN Security Council, will talk about the need to comply with international law and will focus on three important issues, within the framework of which, in particular, he will pay attention to the situation in Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by Polish Radio with reference to the Minister of the Office of the President of Poland Krzysztof Szczerski.
“The President of Poland wants this discussion to touch on the three big issues of international relations in the modern world. Firstly, we are talking about promoting the law and good decisions and institutions that make the peaceful coexistence of countries possible thanks to the law in international relations,” Shchersky said.
He added that examples of such necessary institutions are international organizations that perform mediation missions between parties to conflicts, or criminal tribunals. According to him, international law will allow, for example, to relieve tension on the Korean peninsula.
“The second issue is the area where we are dealing with the violation of international law, with the creation of tension, conflicts and wars in the world. In this context, the president will pay attention to the situation in our region: Ukraine, frozen conflicts in Georgia, Moldova, Nagorno-Karabakh,” Shchersky emphasized.
The third issue, as Shchersky noted, will be Duda’s appeal to the international community so that “international law is applied with good intentions, so that it serves international justice.”
As the Polish minister emphasized, before his speech, Duda plans to meet with representatives of the Central-Eastern Europe region, whom Poland now represents in the UN Security Council, to discuss with them the theses of his speech.
“This is a new practice and shows our openness and role in relation to the countries that we represent in the Security Council,” Shchersky noted.
The Polish minister noted that this discussion is of keen interest: in addition to members of the UN Security Council, representatives of more than 60 countries have confirmed their participation in it. He called it important that the representation of Central and Eastern European countries in the discussion would be very high. In particular, it will be attended by the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, as well as the deputy foreign ministers of Ukraine and Georgia.
