Description
Addressing the Security Council today with “a call for an immediate quest for peace”, the Head of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) stressed that, while a terrible battle rages in Europe, war is neither a necessity nor destiny, as he outlined the regional group’s focus for 2023.

Bujar Osmani, Minister for Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia and current Chairperson-in-Office of the OSCE, observed that, while the organization was designed to reinforce stability and cooperation by enhancing trust and dialogue “from Vancouver to Vladivostok”, stability has been shattered, confidence has been lost and dialogue — if any still exists — has become poisonous.

“Every additional day of aggression prolongs human suffering,” he stressed, urging the Russian Federation to end the war in Ukraine and withdraw its troops from that country’s sovereign territory.

In the ensuing debate, many Council members welcomed OSCE’s contributions to regional stability, economic development and environmental protection across Europe. nbsp;
