In this context, we need to reaffirm our universal commitment to the respect of International Law; and in particular in the UN Charter. 75 years after its adoption, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is here to underline that there can be no peace if human rights are violated.
To actively support this effort, Greece has put forward its candidature for the UN Security Council, for 2025-2026. At the same time, we contribute to resolutions such as: promoting cultural rights, Sports and the Olympic Games, as well as the Human Rights in Neurotechnology.
In this turmoil, Greece once again stood by its principles: Respect for rules-based multilateralism, based on International Law. After all, not all is doom and gloom. Efforts are being undertaken to improve the human rights situation in several countries. In times of severe challenges, there is one way forward. Working together and building bridges in order to reach our common goals.
We will continue working in a spirit of international synergy and dialogue with all relevant UN bodies and member states. Because we are convinced of the added value and effectiveness of a consensus-based approach.
