UN Watch brought French Philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy to the floor of the U.N. Human Rights Council to discuss Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine.
Full Remarks:
Mr. President, In a few days we will commemorate the third anniversary of this terrible war in Ukraine.
It is a war of invasion that violates the sovereignty of a state a blatant violation of one of your fundamental principles.
This war is based on the idea that Ukraine does not exist as a nation therefore, it is a war of annihilation with genocidal tendencies.
This is a war where innumerable crimes have been committed violating the Geneva Conventions which are also part of your legislative framework.
This is a war of imperialism colonialist a colonialist enterprise that goes against principles on which the United Nations was founded.
Furthermore, one can observe Kremlin ideologues with fascist accents that would make the founders of the United Nations turn in their graves.
For all these reasons I urge you to firmly condemn on the strongest terms the abomination of this war.
