India has abstained on a draft resolution tabled in the UN Security Council which condemned Russia바카라s "illegal referenda" and annexation of four Ukrainian territories and called for an immediate cessation of violence while underlining the need to find pathways for a return to the negotiating table.
The 15-nation UN Security Council on Friday voted on the draft resolution tabled by the US and Albania that condemns Russia바카라s 바카라organisation of illegal so-called referenda in regions within Ukraine바카라s internationally recognised borders.바카라
The resolution declares that Russia바카라s 바카라unlawful actions바카라 with regards to the 바카라illegal so-called referenda바카라 taken on September 23 to 27 this year in parts of Ukraine바카라s regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhya that are under Russia's temporary control can have "no validity" and cannot form the basis for any alteration of the status of these regions of Ukraine, including any 바카라purported annexation바카라 of any of these regions by Moscow.
The resolution failed to get adopted as Russia vetoed it. Of the 15-nation Council, 10 nations voted for the resolution while China, Gabon, India and Brazil abstained.
In the explanation of the vote, India바카라s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj said that India was deeply disturbed by the recent turn of developments in Ukraine and New Delhi has always advocated that no solution can ever arrive at the cost of human lives.
"We urge that all efforts are made by concerned sides for the immediate cessation of violence and hostilities. Dialogue is the only answer to settling differences and disputes, however daunting that may appear at this moment,바카라 she said
바카라The path to peace requires us to keep all channels of diplomacy open,바카라 she said, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi 바카라unequivocally conveyed바카라 this in his discussions with world leaders, including with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
She also referred to statements made by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Ukraine during the high-level General Assembly session last week.
Referring to Modi바카라s remark to Putin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Uzbekistan's Samarkand that 바카라today's era is not an era of war바카라, Kamboj said New Delhi sincerely hopes for an early resumption of peace talks to bring about an immediate ceasefire and resolution of the conflict.
바카라India's position has been clear and consistent from the very beginning of this conflict. The global order is anchored on the principles of the UN Charter, international law and respect for sovereignty and the territorial integrity of all states. Escalation of rhetoric or tension is in no one's interest,바카라 she said.
바카라It is important that pathways are found for a return to the negotiating table. Keeping in view the totality of the evolving situation, India decided to abstain on the resolution,바카라 Kamboj said.
Russian President Putin on Friday proclaimed the annexation of the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
The announcement came a day after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that 바카라any annexation of a State바카라s territory by another State resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the Principles of the UN Charter and international law.
바카라Any decision to proceed with the annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine would have no legal value and deserves to be condemned,바카라 Guterres said.
바카라It cannot be reconciled with the international legal framework. It stands against everything the international community is meant to stand for. It flouts the purposes and principles of the United Nations. It is a dangerous escalation. It has no place in the modern world. It must not be accepted,바카라 the UN chief said.
The resolution also calls upon all States, international organisations and specialised agencies not to recognise any alteration of the status of Ukraine바카라s regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson or Zaporizhzhya on the basis of Russia바카라s 바카라unlawful actions바카라 with regards to the illegal so-called referenda taken on September 23 to 27, and to refrain from any action or dealing that might be interpreted as recognising any such altered status.
It also decides that Russia shall 바카라immediately, completely and unconditionally바카라 withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders, which includes those regions addressed by the 바카라illegal so-called referenda바카라 to enable a peaceful resolution of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine through political dialogue, negotiation, mediation or other peaceful means.
