1. “North Macedonia believes that we should make better use of the work and information gathered by the special procedures of the Human Rights Council. Today we would like to reiterate our support for the establishment of the Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine by that Council, in particular for the Commission to swiftly begin its work. In conclusion, in the coming period it will be particularly important to curb any political process that could undermine accountability for gross violations of human rights. We must do our utmost to ensure access to justice for the victims of the human rights violations and crimes committed in Russia’s senseless aggression and in the other conflict zones around the globe. Those responsible for grave atrocities must be punished for their wrongdoings and crimes.”

2. “We also welcome the International Court of Justice’s provisional measures ordering Russia to suspend its military operations and withdraw immediately from the occupied territory. As a current member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) troika, we would like to highlight the OSCE Moscow mechanism as an important instrument aimed at establishing the facts and circumstances of possible cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity in order to present them to relevant accountability mechanisms and international courts and tribunals. Making fuller use of, and ensuring sustainable funding for, existing human rights mechanisms is also essential for supporting accountability processes.”

3. “We join others in expressing our grave concern about the continuing attacks on civilian objects, including hospitals, medical facilities, schools and shelters. The findings and investigations to date in the cities of Bucha and Mariupol lead to the clear conclusion that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed there. The magnitude of the sexual abuse and violence committed against women and girls is also of grave concern. The perpetrators of those crimes and violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law must be held accountable and brought to justice. We fully support the investigation launched by the ICC Prosecutor into war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine, backed by the referrals of 43 States, including North Macedonia.”

4. “In the current circumstances, preserving peace and security requires us to make every effort to urge adherence to international law and international humanitarian law, as well as to pursue accountability. Prioritizing accountability is a prerequisite for halting and preventing violations of international law, international criminal law, international humanitarian law and international human rights law. Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified aggression against Ukraine is a blatant violation of international law, every principle enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and, above all, the values of humankind. Mass indiscriminate strikes on civilian sites persist. Russia has continued to conduct strikes in urban areas, leaving civilians and cities without access to basic human needs.”

5. “We would like to thank the Government of Albania for organizing today’s open debate and to wish it a successful presidency of the Security Council this month. North Macedonia aligns itself with the statement delivered by the observer of the European Union. The Republic of North Macedonia is committed to the international rules-based order. In that context, we recall that it is essential to pursue credible and effective accountability. We must strengthen justice and accountability in order to advance our work in fighting impunity. We share the view that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is an integral part of the multilateral architecture that upholds the rule of law. It is a central institution in the fight against impunity and the pursuit of justice. The Council has a crucial role in maintaining international peace and security.”
