in Ukraine Stemming from the Russian Aggression (3 March 2022)
Statement of Japan by Ambassador YAMAZAKI Kazuyuki,
Parmanent Mission of Japan in Geneva
Thank you.
First of all, allow me to express, on behalf of the Government of Japan, our sense of solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Japan condemns in the strongest terms Russia’s acts of aggression. Russia’s aggression of Ukraine seriously infringes upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. This unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force shakes the very foundation of the international order in Europe, and in every corner of the globe. The series of decisions and acts of Russia are clear and flagrant violations of international law and the United Nations Charter.
Now is the time for us to unite in taking resolute actions in order to defend the foundation of the international order fully. Japan has been decisively taking actions to demonstrate this stance. We condemn all violations of international humanitarian law and violations and abuses of human rights, and urge Russia to fulfill strictly the obligations under international law including international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
At the same time, Japan stands together with the Government and citizens of Ukraine who are doing their utmost in taking actions to defend their sovereignty and territory, as well as their homeland and their families. To this end, in addition to the loans at a scale of US$100 million we already announced, Japan will provide emergency humanitarian assistance of US$100 million as humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian people facing hardship.
Japan will continue to make the utmost efforts to improve the situation in cooperation with the international community, including G7, standing with Ukraine and its people.
I thank you.
