Deputy Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Krystyna Gayovyshyn at an open debate of the Security Council on building confidence in peacekeeping said that in order to restore trust in global relations, war criminals should be held accountable and appropriate tools should be used to coerce violators of international law, Ukrinform reports..

He also stressed that the Security Council is now not a reliable benchmark for confidence-building, as it is not capable of doing what it was created for in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations..

“The bloodiest full-scale war on the European continent over the past eight decades began precisely during a meeting of the Security Council,” Kristina Gayovyshyn pointed out..

The diplomat noted that Ukraine is strongly in favor of restoring confidence in the Security Council, which compromised the Russian Federation with its chairmanship in April.. At the same time, when this aggressor country enshrined violations of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another state in its constitution.

The world must act more than 80 years ago, when the Nuremberg Tribunal served as a means of combating crime and aggression, said Gayovyshyn.

“We believe that the future trial of Russian war criminals will play the same role,” the Deputy Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN concluded her speech..
