Hey there, global peace fans! 🌎✨ On December 18, 2024, the Group of 'Friends for Peace' gathered, sparking hope for an end to the Ukraine crisis. This meet-up was their first since the big shindig at the Ministerial Meeting in New York back in September. 🗽🕊️
Key players from the Global South came together at the UN, chatting about pressing issues and championing peace. They emphasized respecting each country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and spotlighted the need for peaceful solutions to international conflicts—throwback to the Bandung principles! 📜✌️
Concerned about the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine, the group urged all parties to chill and start talking. They stressed the importance of not expanding the battlefield or ramping up the fighting. Instead, they're all about diplomacy and political solutions based on the UN Charter and international law. 🕊️📝
The 'Friends for Peace' believe that the global community—including countries from the Global South and the UN itself—can play a major role in pushing for peace and supporting a political resolution to end the conflict. 🌐🤲
This crew is set on keeping the conversation going and actively engaging to bring about peace. Let's hope their efforts make waves and bring positive change! 🙏💫
