The President stressed the need to recognize Russia as a terrorist state after its attack on the shopping center in Kremenchuk.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called for depriving Russia of its powers in General Assembly of the United Nations, as well as to take away from the aggressor the seat of a permanent member of the UN Security Council. At the same time, he stressed that Russia must be recognized as a terrorist country. He said this during a speech at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
Zelensky said that the organization does not currently have a legal definition of a terrorist state, but must approve it to punish countries for such actions.
He recalled the repeated shelling of the Russian occupiers during the recent days – in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro and other cities, and an enemy missile strike on a shopping center in Kremenchuk called for a terrorist act.
“Who among you does not agree that this is terrorism? If in any other part of the world any other organization would act as Russia does now, if this organization killed civilians, it would definitely be recognized as a terrorist. Such organizations become enemies of all mankind. “, – said the president.
The head of state stressed that those actions that are punished at the level of criminals and terrorist organizations should not go unpunished at the level of a state that has become a terrorist. “These are daily terrorist acts that are carried out without days off. They work like terrorists,” Zelensky added. . Moreover, the aggressor remains in the United Nations and takes a permanent seat on the Security Council, which he received only “because of the short-sightedness of politicians at the end of the Cold War.” Although the UN Charter allows to exclude this state from the organization.
“Russia has no right to take part in discussions and votes on the war in Ukraine. I urge you to deprive the Russian delegation of a vote in the UN General Assembly. This is necessary and fair. Russia has no right to remain in the Security Council. If we are consistent, if we We will show proper political will, this will be the only possible solution thanks to which the UN Charter can work, and respect for such organizations will be maintained, “said the President of Ukraine.
According to him, the organization has enough authority to prosecute Russia. In particular, in accordance with Section 7 of the Charter, the UN may establish a special international tribunal to investigate Russian crimes in Ukraine.
“We need to act immediately and do everything to stop Russia from killing. We need to bring it to justice for terrorism, otherwise it can transfer terrorist activity to other European and Asian countries. The Baltic countries, Poland, Moldova, Kazakhstan,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy concluded. .
