We will continue to #StandWithUkraine, for as long as it takes. The Netherlands & Ukraine are to sign a security agreement covering the next 10 years. This signals the Dutch government's commitment to provide enduring support in the areas of security, reconstruction and justice.

The initiation of dispute-settlement proceedings before the ICAO Council, pursuant to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, is the right step towards transparency, justice, and accountability for the downing of Flight PS752. Tragedies like this must be prevented.

What is #16Days of Activism? It's a call to action & a reminder that violence against women & girls is the most pervasive human rights violation worldwide. More than 1 in 3 women and girls have experienced gender-based violence. There is #NoExcuse for gender-based violence!

It's encouraging to meet friends of Ukraine in far-flung corners of the world. Many thanks to @NLinCanada and @UKRinCAN for organizing the Ottawa Friends of Ukraine Group meeting. In a meaningful discussion with @InesCoppoolse, @kovaliv_y, and @IrwinCotler, moderated by Prof. Payam Akhavan, we delved into the essential aspects of global accountability architecture. Holding the Russian state and each individual perpetrator accountable for their crimes is imperative for restoring and upholding the rules-based world order. If our current international legal frameworks fall short, we must stand united, be proactive, and be willing to invest in new initiatives. The participation of a large audience of diplomats, experts, and representatives of international NGOs in our meeting is a powerful testament to global solidarity with Ukraine. Such collective engagement and commitment strengthens my conviction that together, we can #StopRussia and restore justice and peace.
