СМИД ОБСЕ:

По случаю открытия заседания СМИД ОБСЕ в Вильнюсе, главы делегаций стран сопредседателей Минской группы ОБСЕ – министр ИД России Сергей Лавров, госсекретарь США Хиллари Клинтон, министр по европейским делам Франции Жан Леонетти, а также главы МИД Армении и Азербайджана – Эдвард Налбандян и Эльмар Мамедъяров подтвердили важность достижения мирного урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта.

Как сообщили АрмИнфо в пресс-службе штаб-квартиры ОБСЕ, пятеро глав делегаций обнародовали заявление, в котором подчеркивается то, что они согласились с необходимостью продолжать процесс переговоров в формате МГ ОБСЕ и улучшить климат для достижения прогресса в направлении мирного урегулирования. “Как один из шагов в этом направлении, они согласились с тем, что необходимо приложить дополнительные усилия над работой по деталям механизма расследования нарушения соглашения по прекращению огня”, - отмечается в сообщении.

Напомнив призыв к Армении и Азербайджану завершить работу над согласованием Основных принципов мирного урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта, главы делегаций стран-сопредседателей МГ ОБСЕ выразили сожаление, что стороны не смогли сделать этого решающего шага. Они подчеркнули, что не может быть военного решения нагорно-карабахского конфликта, и что Устав ООН, принципы Хельсинского заключительного Акта, а также элементы, обозначенные в совместных заявлениях президентов в Аквиле в июле 2009 года и в Мускоке в июне 2010 года, предлагают путь для всех сторон с тем, чтобы продвинуться к достижению мирного урегулирования и положить конец неприемлемому статус-кво.

Главы стран-сопредседателей призвали стороны продолжить тщательное рассмотрение предложений, которые они выдвинули во время интенсивных переговоров, проведенных в 2007 году на СМИД ОБСЕ в Мадриде. 

В свою очередь главы МИД Армении и Азербайджана выразили свою благодарность усилиям стран-сопредседателей, а также личной поддержке президентов Медведева, Обамы и Саркози странам для достижения всеобъемлющего мирного урегулирования. Они проинформировали, что президенты Армении и Азербайджана готовы к встрече в ближайшем будущем для продолжения диалога на основе недавнего опыта, чтобы понять как принести мир, стабильность и благополучие людям.

Council of Europe launches new International Claims Commission for Ukraine

Thirty-four countries and the European Union have signed a new convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine at a diplomatic conference co-hosted by the 46-nation Council of Europe and the Netherlands in the Hague. The diplomatic conference was attended by leaders and high-level representatives from over 50 states, including the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof.  “Today marks a major step forward in ensuring accountability for Ukraine. The International Claims Commission represents justice and hope for tens of thousands of victims—our determination that those who have suffered will not be forgotten. I call for quick ratifications so we can get the commission rapidly up and running for the people of Ukraine,” said Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “We expect that every mechanism for compensation from the Register of Damage and Claims Commission to the actual payments – will start working and receive strong and sufficient international support, so that people can truly feel that any kind of damage caused by the war can be compensated. This war, and Russia’s responsibility for it, MUST become a clear example – so that others learn not to choose aggression.” “Accountability is about creating the conditions for peace that endures. And therefore, accountability is a condition of security – today and for the future. But accountability is not only about Ukraine. And it is not only about one aggressor and one victim. Accountability is about Europe. About every country in Europe. It is about whether Europe, as a whole, is willing to defend its peace,” said Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, said: “Every day Russia is deliberately bombarding homes, destroying businesses and damaging infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia must compensate Ukraine for the damage caused. That is why we have launched the International Claims Commission for Ukraine and we are honoured to host it.” The International Claims Commission will be the second part of a comprehensive compensation mechanism related to Russia’s war of aggression, building on the existing Register of Damage for Ukraine. The claims commission will be established within the framework of the Council of Europe and will also be open to other countries. The Register of Damage for Ukraine, created in 2023, collects and records compensation claims submitted by individuals, organisations and public bodies in Ukraine. Forty-four states and the European Union have so far joined the Register, which has already received 86,000 claims. The International Claims Commission will review, assess and decide upon claims submitted to the Register of Damage for Ukraine and determine the amount of compensation, if any, which is due in each case. The convention establishing the commission will enter into force once it has been ratified by 25 signatories, as long as sufficient funds have been secured to support its initial work.
