Peru also expressed its full support for all international actions geared towards protecting Ukraine's civilian population and alleviating their suffering.
UN Security Council
At the
8979th meeting of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, the Russian Federation vetoed the draft resolution presented by Ukraine, which called for the cessation of Russian aggression and its intervention in Ukraine. The draft also requested the withdrawal of all its military forces.
Thus, the resolution was not approved, despite having a majority of votes in favor.
The
Permanent Representation of Peru to the UN co-sponsored the draft resolution —in exercise of Peru's historical commitment to the principles of respect for territorial integrity, national sovereignty, the independence of States, and its unrestricted adherence to respect for international law.
This also came in exercise of the legal tradition of Peruvian diplomacy and the constitutional mandate, which support a State foreign policy based on the sovereign equality of States, as well as the condemnation and prohibition of any act of aggression or use of force in international relations.
