Only by upholding the principles of the UN Charter and international law, we will be able to fulfil our promise - to maintain peace and security, to pave the way for the realization of human rights and sustainable development, said the Prime Minister of Georgia in his speech at the UN Security Council.

Peace and security, along with human rights and development, are the main pillars of the UN"s work. Respect for international law and rules-based international order are the foundations for the peaceful, prosperous and just world, while efficient, more fit for purpose global institutions, with the UN at its core, are crucial to ensure stability, security, respect for human rights and development globally.

Our meeting today should offer a promise for a better future that is very much needed in the current turbulent world.

Dear Colleagues, once again I would like to emphasize the importance of the Peace Formula Initiative and our support to it.

Finally, let me emphasize that only by upholding the principles of the UN Charter and international law, we will be able to fulfil our promise - to maintain peace and security, to pave the way for the realization of human rights and sustainable development. Today, more than ever, there is a critical need for a stronger commitment to international principles, effective multilateralism and accountability”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
