  1. “The propaganda waged by State-owned media inciting hatred and aggressive nationalism highlights the need to promote tolerance and non-discrimination and to place fundamental freedoms, especially the freedom of expression and the freedom of media, very high on the OSCE agenda. We look forward to continued cooperation between the OSCE and the United Nations in seeking a durable solution to European security.”

  2. “This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of t resolution 1325 (2000), on women's role in peace and security. In order ensure that experiences from the OSCE region are included in the United Nations- commissioned study, in April Lithuania will hold a regional meeting on women and peace and security in Vilnius. Fundamental freedoms and human rights are under threat in parts of the OSCE area. OSCE institutions, along with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, should take a proactive stance in addressing the human rights abuses in illegally annexed Crimea, as well as in the areas controlled by the armed groups in eastern Ukraine. The United Nations, the OSCE and the Council of Europe have to be granted secure, safe and unrestricted access to the whole territory of Ukraine, including Crimea.”

  3. “Lithuania calls for full implementation and modernization of existing commitments, in particular the Vienna Document. The OSCE has already made some tangible progress in its efforts to complement international processes towards enhancing transparency in cyber space. It has developed confidence-building measures to reduce the risks of conflict stemming from the use of information and communication technology. The OSCE is also contributing to debates by sharing best practices and lessons learned. We commend the focus of the Chairperson-in- Office on implementing the Basel Declaration on countering foreign terrorist fighters, and on kidnapping and hostage-taking for ransom. Good coordination among the the United Nations, the OSCE, NATO and the European Union is essential. We support it.”

  4. “The 5+2 talks have been taken hostage by the separatist region of Transnistria and their political masters by way of conditioning the 5+2 agreements. The so-called agreements between Russia and the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali are a barely masked annexation and a breach of the principles of international law and Russia's commitments made by President Medvedev in 2008. In that connection, we wonder if the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office intends to react to the latest annexation of Georgian territory - when Russia and Tskhinvali signed the so- called integration agreement? Fanning protracted conflicts in that corner of the world should also be seen in the context of the dismantlement of the European system of conventional arms control and confidence- and security-building measures.”

  5. “Effective monitoring of the Russian-Ukrainian border will be another crucial step, but Russia has so far denied denied that in order to sustain the war in eastern Ukraine. In that connection, I wonder, whether the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office elaborate upon the possibility of United Nations cooperation with OSCE to ensure full control over and monitoring of the Russia- Ukraine border, of which OSCE currently monitor 80 metres. The protracted conflicts in Europe have been simmering for too long. The violent trend in Nagorno Karabakh is worrisome. There is a clear need for the highest political involvement in order not to let the situation spiral out of the control. Russia is using all means to hinder Moldova's European integration process.”

  6. “The very foundation of this Organization has been seriously damaged, as the Charter of the United Nations and Helsinki Final Act have been violated by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and its occupation of Crimea. The ink of resolution 2202 (2015) was still fresh when Russia-backed and -commanded militants shelled Debaltseve, Gorlivka and Pervomaysk. The resolution obliges all parties, including Russia, to implement their commitments under the Minsk agreement. The OSCE plays key role. It has the mandate to facilitate the implementation of all the Minsk agreements. The challenge is the denial of access. The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission must be allowed to carry out its monitoring and verification functions. The denial of access by pro-Russian militants is a violation of resolution 2202 (2015).”

  7. “I wish to welcome Minister Dacie to the Security Council in his capacity as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Chairperson-in-Office, as well as to thank him for his briefing. Forty years ago, the Helsinki Final Act spelled out fundamental principles governing relations from Vancouver to Vladivostok: the non-use of force, non-infringement upon each other's sovereignty and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. As we commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the Charter of the United Nations and the fortieth anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act, we must recommit ourselves to the constitutional foundations of the United Nations and the OSCE.”
