-Video message of the Prime Minister Edi Rama on the occasion of the chairmanship by Albania of the Presidency of the UN Security Council
This is the third decade of the third millennium. The world is turbulent and we continue to witness indescribable atrocities, in more than fifty conflicts around the globe. Democracy and human rights are being severely tested in different parts of the world.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen massive human rights abuses, from Darfur to Myanmar, from Afghanistan to Syria, and the international community is struggling to bring perpetrators of serious crimes to justice.
In Europe, the wounds of the wars that followed the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, especially in Kosovo, are still open. We are doing everything we can to move forward without forgetting the past, but committing ourselves to building a common future in peace.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has challenged European security and shaken the rule-based world order. We can not and should not get used to impunity.
It is urgent to act, now, for the countless victims of meaningless conflicts, but also for all of us, for what we believe in, for what brings us together, to uphold the law, to safeguard multilateral action.
We all have a role to play, our part to fulfill.
That is why the first representative event of Albania in its first presidency of the United Nations Security Council, which I will have the honor to chair on June 2, is dedicated to “Strengthening accountability and justice for serious violations of the international law ”.
The United Nations has no higher value to promote than justice and the rule of law. Albania promotes it nationally and protects it internationally.
Justice and peace go hand in hand and Albania remains fully committed in this direction.
We are privileged to give voice to our convictions and to lead the United Nations Security Council with all our will and passion for what we strongly believe.
