  1. My delegation is profoundly troubled by Russia's veto of the draft resolution (S/2014/189) on the illegality of the referendum in Crimea, and we are worried about its consequences for the future of peace and security in the region and internationally. On 31 May 1997 in a ceremony at the monument of the Liberator Soldier in Kiev, the late President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, during his historic visit to Ukraine solemnly declared, "Ukraine is an independent country, and we will hold this promise sacred". Russia "does not lay claim on any part of Ukraine or on any of its cities".

  2. If this chance is missed, the consequences for the international order are difficult to assess, and the full responsibility for them will be Russia's to bear. The window of opportunity, as our British colleague has referred to it, is still open. It is up to Russia to keep it open, or to shut it in the face of the international community.

  3. While it is still possible, we appeal to the Russian Federation to withdraw its troops to their regular locations, accept the primacy of international law and reaffirm its respect for the Charter of the United Nations, engage in direct dialogue with Kyiv without any further delay, revert to existing mechanisms of crisis resolution, and accept the initiatives of the United Nations, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and whatever other initiatives there are that are aimed at preventing further escalation and launching international monitoring mechanisms. The solution to the crisis in Ukraine can be based only on the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of the country, as well as on strict adherence to international law and international standards of behaviour.

  4. The anti-Ukrainian propaganda and a barrage of lies risk unleashing the most dangerous demons of hatred, with potentially devastating consequences for the region and international security as a whole. We call on the Russian Federation to stop the warmongering and its dangerous propaganda campaign aimed at its neighbours, and to use whatever little time remains for open dialogue and the participation of international mediation.

  5. Land access is monitored by so-called unidentified Russian-speaking men who are armed to the teeth. Crimea's information space has also been blocked. All Ukrainian information channels and the local Tatar network have been clamped down and replaced by Russian channels transmitting continuous anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Journalists have been threatened, assaulted and kidnapped. It is in that context of Crimea's isolation, gunpoint tactics by pro-Russian forces and extreme levels of anti-Ukrainian hysteria that the illegal referendum is to take place this coming weekend, paving the way to Crimea's annexation by Russia. The crisis is deeply troubling. Besides violating the underlying principles of international law and of a country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, it also has a highly explosive human dimension.

  6. The pro-Russian forces propped up by the ever-growing Russian military presence on the peninsula have repeatedly denied access to OSCE teams, to Assistant Secretary-General Simonovic' and the Special Envoy of the Secretary- General, Robert Serry, who was harassed and denied entry twice. Crimean Ukrainians are attacked and accused of being occupiers in their own country, taunted en masse as fascists and Nazis, simply for no other reason but being Ukrainian. Crimean airspace is closed to flights, except those from and to Moscow. Waterways are blocked, electricity and supplies to Ukrainian forces cut. Ships are sunk at water entries to the peninsula, trenches dug and, as reported by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, landmines are being laid.

  7. Whatever concerns - legitimate concerns - may be raised about the conditions of ethno-linguistic minorities, they could have and still can be readily addressed through existing regional and international instruments. The Council of Europe has plenty of mechanisms to that effect and is ready to engage; so do the OSCE and the United Nations. Let those organizations do theirjob, just as they have done with success on multiple other occasions, especially since Ukraine has repeatedly invited monitors and representatives of those organizations and declared its openness to be visited, assessed, inspected and monitored. Ukraine has nothing to hide. But its opponents do. Why else would certain forces try to do everything in their power to isolate Crimea before the illegal referendum?

  8. Furthermore, as a signatory of the Budapest Memorandum, it has undertaken the obligation to protect and guarantee Ukraine's sovereignty, inviolability and territorial integrity, in exchange - as has been pointed out - for Ukraine's relinquishing its nuclear-weapons arsenal. The blatant breach of bilateral obligations and international law by Russia is undermining the very foundation of international law as well as regional and international peace and security. We strongly call on all States to make it clear that they will not recognize the referendum and its outcome. Nothing that has been said, including by the Russian Ambassador - nothing on Earth - warrants orjustifies Russia's actions and those ofthe pro-Russian forces in Crimea.

  9. Notably, in the meantime, Russia is fast-tracking legislation that will facilitate the annexation of Crimea - or any piece of any other country, for that matter. One can only imagine the shudders that is sending across the entire region, whose memories of the recent Soviet occupation and invasions are still very much alive. As a signatory of the 1991 Almaty Declaration, the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the 1997 Agreement between Russia and Ukraine on the Status of Conditions of the Presence of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on the Territory of Ukraine and the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation has repeatedly recognized Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.

  10. Never has a referendum been set up so hurriedly, and even that very short time frame was out still shorter in a clear violation of Ukraine's Constitution and also the constitution of Crimea, which unambiguously states that Crimea shall be an integral part of Ukraine. The original inhabitants of Ukraine, Crimean Tatars, have spoken loudly against the referendum and Crimea's secession and have reaffirmed their desire to see their homeland as part of Ukraine. But their voices will not count, nor will the voices of many other ethnic groups inhabiting Crimea, including Ukrainians themselves, because the referendum is specifically designed to endorse secession. There is simply no other option but to say yes to partition.

  11. Under those circumstances, the Ukrainian Rada, whose legitimacy have never and cannot be challenged, appointed a new Prime Minister in accordance with the Ukrainian Constitution and by the overwhelming majority of votes, enabling the formation of a unity Government that is fully representative of the ethnic and geographical diversity of the Ukrainian population, as was also pointed out by our colleague from the United States. We commend the incredible restraint and moral fortitude of the Ukrainian Government, its people and its military in the face of the continuous escalation of provocations and a massive propaganda onslaught. It speaks volumes on the Prime Minister's readiness and commitment to pursuing the peaceful resolution of the current crisis.

  12. That call was reinforced by a similar statement issued by the leaders of the Group of Seven and the Chairperson-in- Office ofthe Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) to stress the illegality of the referendum in Crimea and call on all actors to refrain from supporting unconstitutional activities. As a leader and a patriot, ex-President Yanukovych should have put Ukraine first and done everything within his power to normalize the situation. He should have led the implementation of the oft-cited 21 February agreement, which he signed very unwillingly and which Russia refused to co-sign, as eloquently pointed out by the French Ambassador. Instead, Yanukovych abandoned his country and fled, exposing it to partition and annexation.

  13. As Under-Secretary- General for Political Affairs Feltman noted in his statement, this is the sixth time since 1 March that we have met to address the crisis caused by Russian aggression against Ukraine. In the meantime, the Heads of State of the European Union have condemned the unprovoked violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity by the Russian Federation, and called on the later to immediately withdraw its armed forces to their areas of permanent stationing.

  14. We commend the restraint shown by the new Government of Ukraine and its determination not to give in to provocation. We support the efforts of the Secretary-General to defuse the crisis and welcome the proposals, as I said before, to send monitoring missions. We would welcome any other bodies and missions that may help to ease the situation. We urge the Russian Federation to respond to these efforts and to seize the opportunity before it is too late.

  15. In the light of the international efforts, Russia cannot continue forging ahead with military invasion, especially as Ukraine has repeatedly offered consultations with Russian counterparts. Consultation mechanisms are also foreseen in the Budapest Memorandum and must be used to de-escalate the situation. All of these avenues should be utilized with a sense of great urgency, including through bilateral contacts, to move away from the brink of war. We stress once against the inadmissibility of the threat or use of force in international relations. We call on the international community to stand united in support of Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. Efforts to destabilize the situation, as well as to stoke radical action and separatism in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine, are highly dangerous.

    2014-03-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7125 (2014) · source

  16. osc Let me stress that the international community has a wide array of instruments that can and must be used to resolve existing differences and de-escalate the situation through political dialogue and consultations, especially as all of the major regional and international organizations - the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Council of Europe and others - are offering their mediation and good offices to this effect. The presence of Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson and OSCE representatives on the ground testify clearly to that. We welcome the proposal of the OSCE to send a monitoring mission to Crimea and other regions of Ukraine. We urge the Russian Federation to respond positively.

    2014-03-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7125 (2014) · source

  17. Such violations of international law must also entail international responsibility. Nothing - none of the events - in Ukraine merits a military invasion such as we are witnessing from the Russian side. The will of the Ukrainian people to pursue a path of democratic transformations and rebuild the rule of law in their country must be respected. We call on the Russian Federation to withdraw its forces back to their permanent bases and to refrain from any further intervention or interference in Ukraine.

    2014-03-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7125 (2014) · source

  18. Lithuania strongly condemns the clear violation by the Russian Federation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. The military actions we are witnessing on Crimean soil defy the fundamental principles of international law, the Helsinki Final Act, the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Russia and Ukraine of 1997, and the legal framework regulating the presence of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Crimea. This blatant breach of the Charter of the United Nations has no place in the twenty-first century, and for too many in our part of the world evokes the memories of the darkest pages of the twentieth century. It is a threat to international peace, security and stability, and must be qualified clearly as such.

  28. Women's full and equal exercise of their human rights is essential to achieving a more peaceful, secure and democratic OSCE zone. The appointment of gender focal points in field operations and departments of the OSCE and the implementation of the OSCE Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality are essential. The work of OSCE field presences in Central Asia across all three dimensions deserves special attention, especially in the area of democratic reforms and human rights. Those activities are relevant and should be continued. To conclude, let me assure the Swiss Chairperson-in- Office of Lithuania's continued support for his work and the priorities of his chairmanship.

    2014-02-24 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.7117 (2014) · source

  29. Emerging regional challenges related to the use of natural resources, including water, also merit the OSCE's attention. We would appreciate the views of the Chairperson-in-Office on how the OSCE and the United Nations could best address issues related to inland water resources in Central Asia. There cannot be lasting security and stability without respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Lithuania consistently supports the work of the independent OSCE institutions relating to the implementation of OSCE human rights commitments. One particular area where the OSCE needs to maintain continuous engagement is freedom of expression and media freedom. Also, the implementation of resolution 1738 (2006), on the protection of journalists, remains essential.

  30. The OSCE is also at the forefront ofimplementing the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, especially in assisting participating States in the development of relevant legislation. The OSCE should further facilitate cooperation between Central Asian States and Afghanistan, especially in the area of border management, including through the OSCE Border Management Staff College in Dushanbe. Energy security has direct linkages to the independence of economic and political action in international affairs and has a direct effect on national security, development and prosperity. We note the complementary role of the OSCE in promoting energy security dialogue in line with closer cooperation with the United Nations.

  31. We believe that the OSCE, and in particular the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, have an important role to play in the process of preparing for new elections in Ukraine. The Vilnius OSCE Ministerial Council of 2011 took a decision on the conflict cycle, equipping the OSCE with the necessary tools for the prevention of, and response to, conflicts. That asset should not be wasted. The political will to use those tools remains essential. We welcome the OSCE's focus on addressing transnational threats. Cybersecurity threats have been on the rise, and we welcome the pioneering work by the OSCE on cybersecurity confidence-building measures at the regional level and would support a discussion on the possibility of applying that approach beyond the OSCE.

  32. Lithuania welcomes the ongoing democratic change in Ukraine and the determined leadership of the Supreme Rada in that historic process. We hope that it will open the door to a quick and peaceful resolution of the political crisis, which was created by the former Government and President Yanukovych. We welcome the adoption of new decrees and other decisions in Kyiv in the past few days, which seek to introduce a new constitutional framework, consolidate the foundations for a comprehensive legal reform and resolve the remaining issues of selective justice. Lithuania remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, as well as Ukraine's European integration.

  33. The international discussions in Geneva to address the consequences of the 2008 war in Georgia offer a good example of OSCE-United Nations cooperation in the field of mediation. Those efforts could be strengthened by the OSCE and the United Nations presence on the ground throughout Georgia. Dramatic events are evolving before our eyes in Ukraine, and the most recent breathtaking democratic changes are an impressive reminder that it is not possible to ignore people's striving for freedom, democracy, human dignity and justice. Political power that disregards the will and expectations of the vast majority of its citizens and is concerned only with its own egoistic interests loses democratic legitimacy and the trust of its people and is not sustainable.

  34. Let me express Lithuania's appreciation for the Swiss priorities of the OSCE chairmanship, which focus on fostering security and stability, implementing OSCE commitments and strengthening the OSCE's capacity to act. The OSCE remains a strong United Nations partner under Chapter VIII of the Charter. We look forward to the Swiss OSCE chairmanship's initiative to organize a conference devoted to strengthening cooperation between the OSCE, the United Nations and other international organizations, with a particular focus on the human dimension. Important cases of cooperation between the United Nations, the OSCE, and the European Union include their coordinated response and actions during the crisis in Kyrgyzstan in 2010 and a contribution to security and stability in Kosovo.

  35. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Lithuania. I warmly welcome the President of the Swiss Confederation in his capacity as Chairperson-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and thank him for his extensive briefing earlier today. The body that he is chairing is the largest regional security organization partnering with the United Nations. It is unique in its comprehensive approach to security and has respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms at its core, in which participating States engage in open debate on pressing security challenges and constantly review the state of implementation of their commitments.

  38. Compliance by all parties to the conflict, especially the Syrian Government, which bears the primary and ultimate responsibility to protect its population, is paramount. My delegation underlines that the Council should and must be ready to take the necessary further steps in the event that the parties to the conflict fail to heed the call ofthe resolution. The Council's credibility is at stake. Let me also underline the importance of accountability for all the war crimes, crimes against humanity and gross violations of human rights that have taken place during these three long years. Impunity breeds violence and perpetuates conflict. Impunity cannot be allowed to continue.

  39. Yet today we have a moment of hope - hope for those under siege, hope for those watching their loved ones succumb to starvation and hope for those living under the constant threat of aerial bombardments, mortar attacks and barrel bombs. We strongly hope that today's unanimous vote by the Council will make a tangible difference in addressing the humanitarian needs of the Syrian people and ensuring rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access and the safety and security of humanitarian personnel. It is now up to the parties to the conflict to act immediately and decisively to implement the resolution in full and to put an end to the horrific abuses of international humanitarian and human rights law.

  40. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Lithuania. Lithuania welcomes the unanimous adoption of this resolution on humanitarian issues in Syria (resolution 2139 (2014)). The unanimous vote today is a message of vital importance for those Syrians who have been for long months desperately waiting for humanitarian assistance: that the Council is ready to step up its efforts in addressing one of the most horrendous humanitarian situations of this century. For too many Syrians, this moment of Council unity has come too late. What has transpired during the three years of mounting atrocities defies description.

I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2014/87, which contains a letter dated 7 February 2014 from the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005) concerning the Sudan addressed to the President of the Security Council. It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
