During the special session of the UN Security Council on Nagorno-Karabakh issue Domingos Estêvão Fernandes, Representative of Mozambique at UN voiced concern about the escalation of military violence and offered condolences for the lives lost, including those of Russian peacekeepers.
He also expressed regret that, after the repeated appeals of the Council and the international community, violence has taken precedence over dialogue, compromising peace efforts between the two countries.
The Charter of the United Nations is unequivocal regarding the pacific settlement of disputes, he stressed, calling once again on the parties to end the violence and favour a genuine dialogue to achieve peace.
He welcomed the ceasefire agreement reached under the mediation of the Russian Federation’s peace mission in the region and urged strict compliance thereto.
He also urged parties to fully comply with the trilateral agreement of November 2020, which declared the ceasefire and end of all hostilities in the conflict.
