Resolutions by: UN Security Council
A/68/L.39 | 24 Mar 2014 – Territorial Integrity of Ukraine


Territorial integrity of Ukraine

The General Assembly,

Reaffirming the paramount importance of the Charter of the United Nations in the promotion of the rule of law among nations,

Recalling the obligations of all States under Article 2 of the Charter to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, and to settle their international disputes by peaceful means,

Recalling also its resolution 2625 (XXV) of 24 October 1970, in which it approved the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, and reaffirming the principles contained therein that the territory of a State shall not be the object of acquisition by another State resulting from the threat or use of force, and that any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of a State or country or of its political independence is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter,

Recalling further the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, signed in Helsinki on 1 August 1975, the Memorandum on Security Assurances in Connection with Ukraine’s Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, of 5 December 1994 (Budapest Memorandum), the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation of 31 May 1997, and the Alma-Ata Declaration of 21 December 1991,

Stressing the importance of maintaining the inclusive political dialogue in Ukraine that reflects the diversity of its society and includes representation from all parts of Ukraine,

Welcoming the continued efforts by the Secretary-General and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and other international and regional organizations to support de-escalation of the situation with respect to Ukraine,

Noting that the referendum held in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on 16 March 2014 was not authorized by Ukraine,

1. Affirms its commitment to the sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders;

2. Calls upon all States to desist and refrain from actions aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including any attempts to modify Ukraine’s borders through the threat or use of
force or other unlawful means;

3. Urges all parties to pursue immediately the peaceful resolution of the situation with respect to Ukraine through direct political dialogue, to exercise restraint, to refrain from unilateral actions and inflammatory rhetoric that may increase tensions, and to engage fully with international mediation efforts;

4. Welcomes the efforts of the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and other international and regional organizations to assist Ukraine in protecting the rights of all persons in Ukraine, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities;

5. Underscores that the referendum held in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on 16 March 2014, having no validity, cannot form the basis for any alteration of the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea or of the city of Sevastopol;

6. Calls upon all States, international organizations and specialized agencies not to recognize any alteration of the status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on the basis of the above-mentioned referendum and to refrain from any action or dealing that might be interpreted as recognizing any such altered status.

Well now, that's not what happened to Reshat Ametov. His body was found outside Simferopol. He had been tortured.

You're talking about the murder that happened half a year ago, in March. Meanwhile in Donbass the Ukrainian armed forced killed more than 4000 people during the last months. But that doesn't bother you, of course. As for this Reshat Amirov I suppose he was killed by Ukrainians. By SBU or Right Sector. Attempt of provocation. Qui prodest.
 
There wouldn't have been any deaths in Crimea or Ukraine if Russians had stayed in Russia.

Empty propaganda, my dear friend. Because the deaths in the former Ukraine were before Crimea took decision on self-determination. Before Crimeans voted for leaving nationalistic, chauvinistic, fascist regime which came to power in the failed state through violence and blood.

The_Snipers_Massacre_on_the_Maidan_in_Ukraine

That's what the civil war started from. 100 people killed in Kiev in February. Then were people burnt alive in Odessa. Then were killed ones in Mariupol. Many, many deaths. Thousands. Who kills people in Donbas? Russians? No, Ukrainian army does. And there was the start point? Illegal seizer of power. Coup d'etat in Kiev. Encouraged and organized by the US embassy.

I suppose Geoffrey Pyatt has deserved to get the destiny of his collegue in Libya. That would be fair if one day a crazy crowd would drag the body of this b*stard like it happened in Benghazi once:

That would be fair.

I feel sorry. It's not good to wish anybody to suffer or even to die, even if it's about some bloody bastards. I wasn't reserved enough. So, I wish Geoffrey Pyatt health and long life. Especially as we still don't know his whole personal role in this dramatic Ukrainian story.
 
Of course. I don't want to hide my attitude to the US and to what they are doing in Ukraine. I hate them for that, actually. But anyway it's not good to wish anyone's death. It's about that, not more than that.
 
You got sloppy. End of story.
 
Mr. Ryzhkov is a tiny politician who survives at expense of his western friends. In this case he simply repeats that what the western media told many times.

Uh huh.
 
Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin says that Ukraine will begin filing a number of lawsuits with the International Court pertaining to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea.
 
Andrei Illarionov: Annexation of Crimea is a litmus test for Russian opposition

It is beyond any doubt that Russia should return Crimea to Ukraine. All arguments used by enemies of such a return are not only easily refutable but also irrelevant. The issue of Crimea’s jurisdiction is not a subject of negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the E.U. because neither Russia nor the E.U. have any legal rights to Crimea. Moreover, talks between a robber and its victim before the triumph of justice are absolutely absurd – any talks can only be started after everything stolen is returned to the victim.

The issue of Crimea’s jurisdiction is within the competence of only one subject of international law – the owner of that territory, namely Ukraine. Only this subject, and no one else, has necessary legal rights to change this territory’s jurisdiction. The only case allowing a Russian political or public figure to support refusal to return Crimea to Ukraine would be the Ukrainian state’s clear and unequivocal renunciation of its rights to Crimea.

Russification is proceeding in Crimea. Any Crimeans who decline Russian citizenship/passports are being classified as "foreigners" and are being denied services such as healthcare, access to the banking system, etc.

How typical Serbo-Russian of them! Whoever is not assimilated gets to suffer from their basic needs!
