Hollywood actor and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Ben Stiller met Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Monday, telling him, "You're my hero!" Video shows Stiller telling Zelenskyy: "It's a great honour for me. You're my hero. You quit a great acting career for this." Zelenskyy fires back quickly: "Not so great as yours!" Stiller also tells Zelenskyy: "What you've done and the way you've rallied the country, it's really inspiring." Stiller, who visited the badly hit Kyiv suburb of Irpin on Monday, added: "It's hard to understand what's actually going on here if you haven't been here. I was in Irpin in this morning. The level of destruction … you see on television, you see it on social media. It's something else to see it and feel it and talk to the people [there]." Stiller later tweeted: "It was an honour to meet President @ZelenskyyUa on #WorldRefugeeDay as part of my visit with UNHCR @Refugees to stand in solidarity with people forced to flee in Ukraine and worldwide, and bring more attention to the humanitarian situation."

Achieving peace is best protection for children in Ukraine: Chinese envoy

A Chinese envoy said Thursday that achieving peace is the best protection for children in Ukraine. "Achieving peace is the best protection for children. Dialogue and negotiation is the most realistic and feasible way to reach a cease-fire," said Dai Bing, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese/English interpretation): DAI BING, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations "The international community should encourage Russia and Ukraine to return to the negotiation track and to keep accumulating political conditions for the restoration of peace. China welcomes the presidential statement adopted by the Security Council last week on Ukraine, calling for the peaceful settlement of international disputes and supporting the SG's (UN secretary-general) efforts to promote peace. Sanctions will not bring peace, but will only accelerate the spillover of the crisis, triggering sweeping food, energy, and financial crises across the globe, and making children around the world suffer the bitter consequences of the sanctions. With children living in conflict situations in Afghanistan, Yemen, and the Horn of Africa, as well as the Sahel region bearing the brunt of the humanitarian impact, China once again calls on all parties to stay rational and exercise restraint, transcend prejudice and divisions, and make unremitting efforts for the early resolution of the crisis in Ukraine and for children to enjoy a peaceful future." The conflict in Ukraine is inflicting on children pains foreign to their age. Protecting children from harm is an obligation under international law that must be fulfilled by parties to the conflict. China reiterates its call for securing children and the civilian infrastructure on which they depend, and to give priority to children in evacuation and humanitarian relief operations, he said. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese/English interpretation): DAI BING, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations "The conflict has been going on for more than two months and has uprooted more than half of the Ukrainian children. And millions of children have taken refuge in neighboring countries. China appreciates the safe shelter, humanitarian assistance, and psychological support provided by Ukraine and neighboring countries, as well as various UN agencies and other humanitarian agencies for children who seek refuge. China calls on the international community to continue to step up relief efforts to ensure that every child in need can receive effective assistance." Dai also called for efforts to reduce the risk of human trafficking, sexual exploitation and abuse faced by Ukrainian children seeking refuge, especially those separated or unaccompanied. China supports the World Health Organization in cooperating with Ukraine and the countries concerned to ensure that children can get routine immunization. China supports the UN Children's Fund in helping the Ukrainian government to provide educational supplies and learning opportunities for internally displaced children, and encourages host countries to integrate refugee children into their own education systems, in order to ensure that children's right to education is not disrupted, he said.

トーマスグリーンフィールド米国国連大使 国連安全保障理事会でウクライナの大量殺戮を画像で確認と発言しロシアを避難

Washington's ambassador to the United Nations told the Security Council on May 5 that imagery confirmed the presence of mass graves in the Ukrainian city of Bucha, accusing Russia of lying to the international community about the war in the country. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield called for "unhindered" humanitarian access throughout Ukraine, including the city of Mariupol, where she said hundreds of civilians remained at the Azovstal steel plant, along with surviving defensive forces. "Convoys and evacuations take days and weeks, or months of intense negotiation," said Thomas-Greenfield. "They cannot be the norm. The only norm we should accept is Ukraine returning to its normal life, without Russian forces illegally in its territory, terrorizing and killing civilians, including so many innocent children." Thomas-Greenfield said that Russia had committed war crimes since it invaded Ukraine on February 24. She said that in Bucha, the Kyiv suburb that has become synonymous with Russia's brutal but short-lived control of the area, imagery proved the "presence of mass graves." "This is not just an unverified accusation on social media. It is a horrifying fact; one the world must now reckon with," she told diplomats. "Russia alone started this war and Russia alone can end it. Silence the guns, withdraw from Ukrainian territory, and embrace diplomacy."

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres traveled to Moscow on April 26, meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and calling for humanitarian corridors to be established in Ukraine. "We urgently need humanitarian corridors that are truly safe and effective and that are respected by all to evacuate civilians and deliver much-needed assistance," said Guterres, following a separate meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. "Simultaneously, we recognize that we face a crisis within a crisis in Mariupol. Thousands of civilians are in dire need of life-saving humanitarian assistance, and many, of evacuation." The Secretary-General said he proposed a coordinated effort involving the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross, as well as the governments of Russia and Ukraine to "enable the safe evacuation of those civilians who want to leave [Mariupol], both inside the Azovstal plant and in the city, in any direction they choose, and to deliver the humanitarian aid required." The plant, a sprawling Soviet-era industrial complex, has provided a final redoubt for Ukrainian fighters in the city, along with what authorities say are hundreds of civilians.

Chinese envoy says early conflict resolution key to ending humanitarian crisis in Ukraine

The fundamental way to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is to put an early end to the conflict, China's permanent representative to the United Nations Zhang Jun said on Tuesday. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese/English): ZHANG JUN, China's permanent representative to the United Nations "The prospect of an extended and prolonged conflict is worrying. A ceasefire and an early end to the conflict as soon as possible is the fundamental way to resolve the humanitarian crisis. We call on Russia and Ukraine to adhere to the general direction of dialogue and negotiation, continuously narrow differences, and accumulate conditions for a ceasefire." On the protection of civilians, Zhang said that every effort must be made to reduce the harm to civilians caused by conflict. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese/English): ZHANG JUN, China's permanent representative to the United Nations "China once again calls on all parties to the conflict to exercise maximum restraint, strictly abide by international humanitarian law, protect civilians and civilian facilities, and facilitate evacuation and humanitarian assistance operations. The parties concerned should strengthen communication on humanitarian issues, and conduct coordination and cooperation on issues such as opening humanitarian corridors and organizing the safe evacuation of personnel." "All refugees, regardless of nationality, race, or religion, should be treated equally," the envoy added. Referring to the help of the neighboring countries, the ambassador said the neighboring countries of Ukraine have provided "safe havens and humanitarian assistance" to millions of refugees, which China appreciates. "The continuation of the conflict will result in more refugees and bring huge economic and social challenges to the host countries. The international community should strengthen coordination, and provide more support to refugee-receiving countries in the spirit of shared responsibility," he said. Noting that in the past few days, many refugees have returned to Ukraine, Zhang said that "we hope that their basic needs will be met as they return to normal life." Speaking about sanctions, the envoy said that "we must pay attention to and eliminate the negative impact of sanctions." SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese/English): ZHANG JUN, China's permanent representative to the United Nations "The vast number of developing countries, that are not parties to the conflict, have paid a heavy price for it. This is neither fair nor reasonable. The international community should strengthen coordination to keep food and energy supplies and prices stable and avoid unnecessary export restrictions. It should also be pointed out that arbitrary freeze of foreign exchange reserves of other countries also constitutes a violation of sovereignty, and is tantamount to weaponizing economic interdependence. Such practices undermine the foundation of world economic stability and bring new uncertainties and risks to international relations. They should be abandoned as soon as possible."

Chinese envoy warns of consequences of indiscriminate sanctions over Ukraine conflict

A Chinese envoy on Tuesday warned that indiscriminate sanctions over the Ukraine conflict will bring about new humanitarian problems. Dai Bing, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, made the remarks at a Security Council meeting on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. SOUNDBITE (Chinese/English interpretation): DAI BING, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations "The conflict situation in Ukraine is persisting. Effectively protecting civilian lives and meeting their humanitarian needs is a must. China calls for respect for international humanitarian law to avoid civilian casualties to the maximum extent, protect civilian facilities, provide safe passage for evacuation and humanitarian access, and ensure a continuous supply of basic necessities, such as food, drinking water, and medicines. Protection of vulnerable groups such as women and children must be strengthened. We support humanitarian agencies like OCHA and WFP in upholding the principles of humanity, neutrality and impartiality, as they continue to mobilize and coordinate international support to provide emergency humanitarian relief to conflict-affected populations, and to help Ukraine and its neighboring countries meet the enormous humanitarian needs. We must also be cognizant that the ever-escalating, sweeping, indiscriminate sanctions have hit global energy, food, economic, trade and financial markets, and will continue to do so, affecting the lives and livelihoods of the general public, and giving rise to new humanitarian problems. Developing countries, which make up the majority of the world, are not parties to this conflict, and should not be drawn into the confrontation and forced to suffer the consequences of geopolitical clashes and sparring among major powers. Right now, global food security is being seriously challenged, which warrants due attention. Sanctions and economic blockades will only artificially exacerbate food shortages and price distortions, further disrupt food production and food supply chain across the world, push up food prices, and put such burdens on developing countries as they do not deserve. We call for enhanced international coordination to stabilize food supply and food prices, refrain from unjustified export restrictions, keep the market working in a stable manner, and ensure global food security. The United Nations, WFP, FAO, WTO and other agencies should actively contribute to coordinating food production and trade among countries, and helping developing countries survive the shocks. If the crisis continues and escalates, further damage is on its way, and it is not in the interest of any party. The most conclusive way towards a ceasefire to end hostilities is dialogue and negotiation. The international community should encourage and support continued direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine until a positive outcome is achieved and peace is restored. Security is indivisible and seeking absolute security by pitting one bloc against another is precisely the most assured way to achieve insecurity. The United States, NATO and EU should also engage in dialogue with Russia, accommodate the legitimate security concerns of all parties, and build a balanced, effective and sustainable regional security architecture through dialogue and negotiation. China will continue to work towards and play a constructive role in easing the situation and resolving the crisis." Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from UN headquarters.

国連人権理事会　ウクライナにおけるロシアの侵害疑惑に関する調査を承認

The U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday (March 4) condemned alleged rights violations by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine and agreed to set up a commission to investigate them, including possible war crimes. Thirty-two members of the council voted in favour of the resolution brought by Ukraine. Russia and Eritrea voted against it, while 13, including China, abstained. "Today the Human rights council adopted a historic resolution," Ukraine's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Yevheniia Filipenko told reporters after the vote. "Those from Russia directing and committing violations against my people should be paying attention. The evidence is going to be collected; you are going to be identified, and you are going to be held to account," The Geneva-based council cannot make legally binding decisions, but its decisions send important political messages and can authorise investigations, such as the one to be carried out by the three-person commission created by Friday's vote. Russia, which has called its actions since Feb. 24 a "special operation", has denied targeting civilians in Ukraine. Its delegate, Evgeny Ustinov, told the council that the resolution's backers "will use any means to blame Russia for the events in Ukraine". Earlier, Filipenko told the council it was their "common duty to ensure accountability by mandating the documentation and verification of Russia's crimes and identification of those responsible". Washington, which just rejoined the body as a voting member after quitting under former President Donald Trump, called the outcome "a powerful condemnation of Russia's actions". The commission, set up for an initial period of one year and tasked with producing a report by early 2023, will work alongside a large, existing United Nations rights team for Ukraine which has 60 members. Its exact scope is yet to be determined, but one diplomat said that its mandate to look at the "root causes" of the conflict might include probing allegations of abuses inside Russia. Filipenko said the commission would work alongside the International Criminal Court in the Hague, which has sent a team to the Ukraine region to look into possible war crimes by all parties in the conflict. Some rights groups had called for Russia, a voting member of the 47-Member Council, to be suspended. However, this can only be decided by the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

We believe that the top priority now is for all parties to exercise the necessary restraint to prevent the situation in Ukraine from getting worse. China supports and encourages all diplomatic efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis, and welcomes the earliest possible direct dialogue and negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

China believes that the Security Council should give priority to regional peace and stability and the universal security of all countries, and play a constructive role in resolving the Ukraine issue.

国連安全保障理事会　中国特使や会議

A Chinese envoy said Friday that any action by the UN Security Council should be truly conducive to defusing the Ukraine crisis. Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, made the remarks after the council failed to adopt a draft resolution on Ukraine proposed the United States and Albania. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ZHANG JUN, China's permanent representative to the United Nations "China is deeply concerned about the latest developments of the situation in Ukraine. Now it has come to the point which we do not want to see. China always forms its own position according to the merits of the matter at hand. We believe that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states should be respected, and that the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be jointly upheld. We have always called on all parties to seek reasonable solutions to address each other's concerns through peaceful means on the basis of equality and mutual respect. We welcome and encourage all efforts for a diplomatic solution, and support the Russian Federation and Ukraine in resolving the issue through negotiations. In the past week, the Security Council has held two emergency meetings, and parties have fully elaborated on their positions and concerns on the current situation. At present, faced with the very complex and sensitive situation, the Security Council should make a necessary response. At the same time, such a response should also be extremely cautious. Any action should be truly conducive to defusing the crisis, rather than adding fuel to fire. If not properly handled, or blindly exerting pressure and imposing sanctions, it may only lead to more casualties, more property loss, more complicated and chaotic situations, and more difficulties in bridging differences. It may completely shut the door to a peaceful solution, and eventually it is the vast number of innocent people that will be the victims. We must draw profound lessons from the extremely painful experience in the past. For this reason, China abstained in the voting just now. I would like to stress that the issue of Ukraine is not something that only emerged today; nor did the current situation occur suddenly overnight. It is a result of the interplay of various factors over a long period of time. China advocates the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. We believe that one country's security cannot be at the expense of the security of others, and that regional security should not rely on muscling up or even expanding military blocs. The legitimate security concerns of all countries should be respected. Against the backdrop of five successive rounds of NATO's eastward expansion, Russia's legitimate security aspirations should be given attention to and properly addressed. Ukraine should become a bridge between the East and the West, not an outpost for confrontation between major powers. We strongly call on all parties concerned to exercise maximum restraint, ease tensions, and avoid civilian casualties. The final settlement of the Ukraine crisis still requires abandoning the Cold War mentality, giving full attention and respect to the legitimate security concerns of all countries, and conducting negotiations to build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security mechanism. We call on all parties to immediately come back to the track of diplomatic negotiations and political settlement, show sincerity and goodwill, make a political decision and engage in dialogue and consultation for a comprehensive settlement of the Ukraine issue." The Security Council has held multiple emergency meetings since the recent escalation of the Ukraine situation. In the voting this time, the United States and other members of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution while Russia vetoed it. China, India and the United Arab Emirates abstained in the voting. The draft resolution was not adopted. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from UN Headquarters.
