The Peruvian Government has expressed its full support for the decision of the United Nations Security Council which approved, by virtue of the UN Charter, to legally reaffirm the principle of a peaceful and negotiated solution to international conflicts, seeking to reach a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine.

"Peru, since the beginning of the conflict, has expressed its position in the sense that a peaceful and negotiated solution to the conflict must be found, one that involves the interests and security perceptions of the parties involved," said the official statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

Likewise, it reaffirmed that Peru grants full support to the actions being carried out by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to fulfill the momentous mandate.

United Nations Security Council

Hours ago, the United Nations Security Council approved a declaration on the situation in Ukraine, in which it recalls that under the UN Charter, all member states have assumed the obligation to settle their international disputes through peaceful means.

Within this framework, it specified that the Council gave its firm support to efforts undertaken by the Secretary-General in search for a peaceful solution.

Approved unanimously, the declaration binds all UN Security Council members, and also reflects the first consensus adopted at the United Nations on the conflict in Ukraine.

It was specified that this is a decision in favor of peace.
