Minister puts emphasis on safeguarding human rights and international system in address to UN Human Rights Council

Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir today delivered her address to the 58th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

That the values that the world's nations agreed to respect were being severely undermined, and she particularly criticized Russia's illegal, all-out invasion of Ukraine, on the day when leaders have gathered in Kiev to express support for Ukraine exactly three years after the invasion began.
