(4 years ago)For the first time in history, Albania took over the presidency of the UN organisation's Security Council. At this historic event, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama himself led the first debate in this body. Before other Security Council member states, which are represented mainly by UN ambassadors Rama unveiled [...]
In front of other Security Council member states, which are represented mainly by ambassadors to the UN, Rama unveiled and priorities of the Albanian presidency, focused on international accountability and justice.
“As we have all seen, Russia's war in Ukraine presents a challenge and has further defined the need to place those who have committed war crimes to responsibility. Faith must be restored to build rule of law and lasting peace. Account mechanisms must be strengthened, to determine the truth about crimes. ”
To show the consequences of failing to account, for example, the head of the Albanian government received the crimes committed in our region, those in Srebrenica and Kosovo.
“Colegs, we have to witness deeds and not just words. We have to say today more than ever “never in” that we owe by our actions, not literally thousands of victims of genocide in Srebrenica, Rwanda and Darfur, to all who have suffered atrocities of massacre and crimes against humanity. We owe countless silent faces, which are often unforgivable victims of sexual crimes as 20 thousand dehumanised women during ethnic cleansing in Kosovo at HINA-99. The violators must have no part of our world, they should belong to their country behind bars such as Milosevic”, Prime Minister Rama said at the UN.
The Rama-led debate marks the beginning of the implementation of Albania's presidency work plan at the UN Security Council, which will last until the end of June.
