1. “Czech law enforcement agencies have launched criminal investigations of certain crimes based on the principle of universal jurisdiction. The members of the Security bear global responsibility for peace and respect for international law. That is what we expect of them when we elect them. Please act. We need peace in Ukraine. We need to restore respect for the United Nations Charter and international law. We need to ensure justice for victims and to stop impunity for the perpetrators.”

2. “Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens have been deported to Russia, including children. There are testimonies of sexual and gender-based crimes, used as a method of warfare. They all must be investigated, and the perpetrators must be held accountable. We applaud the Secretary-General for launching the United Nations fact-finding mission regarding events in Olenivka. More than 40 States, including the Czech Republic, referred the situation in Ukraine to the International Criminal Court (ICC), which opened its investigation into the situation in Ukraine already in March. We strongly support the ICC, including by seconding a public prosecutor and through voluntary contributions. We call for the establishment of a special international tribunal to prosecute the crime of aggression committed by Russia.”

3. “In August 1968, it was Czechoslovakia, invaded by Moscow-led troops — a crackdown on the so-called Prague Spring, a violent interference in another country’s peaceful life, turning my country into an occupied colony. We are hearing about the hastily organized sham referendums in parts of Ukraine. Russia cannot trick the international community and again steal another State’s territory. Russia’s aggressive, colonial policy and imperial desires must be rejected for good. Ukraine refused that slavery and bravely fights for a multilateral world where rules protect peace We are horrified by the atrocities committed by Russian troops in Mariupol, Bucha, Irpin, Izyum and elsewhere. We are extremely concerned by the reports regarding the so-called filtration camps, run by Russia in Ukraine.”

4. “Mr. Lipavský (Czech Republic): Let me thank the French presidency for the opportunity to participate in this important meeting. The Czech Republic now holds the rotating European Union (EU) presidency. The EU is a core promoter of the values and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Czechia hosts the highest number of Ukrainian refugees per capita — more than 400,000 in a country of 10 million people. Russia’s colonial, unprovoked and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine sent that massive wave of the most vulnerable population abroad. The Russian aggression is perhaps the most dangerous challenge to global peace in recent decades. Today it is about Ukraine; tomorrow it may be another country.”
