JAKARTA – South African President Vincent Magwenya’s spokesman, Saturday (22/11) said that the conflict in Ukraine was mentioned in the G20 summit declaration as one of the four major conflicts that required a peaceful settlement.
“The declaration confirms the centrality of the UN Charter in peaceful resolutions of various conflicts and the importance of avoiding the use of force in resolving disputes,” he said.
Magwenya explained that the declaration reaffirmed the importance of the UN Charter as the basis for peaceful conflict resolution and a commitment to avoid the use of force in resolving disputes.
He said that the declaration highlighted the four most serious conflicts in the world, namely the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Ukraine, and Palestine. According to him, a special mention of Ukraine is clearly stated in the document.
“So, if you seek special mention for Ukraine, it is listed in it… The declaration confirms that the UN Charter remains the main guideline, along with international law, which is our reference in seeing or addressing dispute issues and avoiding the use of force and committing to resolving conflict peacefully,” he said.
He added that the declaration reiterated that the UN Charter and international law should be the main references in dealing with dispute issues, avoiding the use of violence, and committed to resolving conflicts peacefully.
