Switzerland supports the “peace initiative” of China and Brazil regarding the war in Ukraine

Switzerland supported the “peace initiative” proposed by China and Brazil regarding Ukraine, despite the fact that there is no mention of the UN Charter and no direct mention of territorial integrity in the document. This is reported by Blick, with reference to the representative of the foreign policy department of Switzerland, Nicolas Bideau, writes UNN.

The publication notes that on Friday, a representative of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA) told the Keystone-SDA agency that the country supports the initiative because it calls for a ceasefire and a political solution to the conflict.

This initiative is important because it offers an alternative to the bellicose rhetoric that has been heard at the UN this week from both the Ukrainian and Russian sides,

When the initiative was published, Switzerland emphasized the importance of the reference to the UN Charter, which was missing. According to the EDA representative, the Chinese Foreign Minister reminded the importance of the UN Charter in the context of the initiative this week at the UN Security Council. It is noted that for the foreign policy department of Switzerland, the peace initiative is within the limits of the UN Charter. According to Le Temps, the US and Europeans do not support the peace initiative of China and Brazil, as the lack of mention of the UN Charter is seen as an endorsement of Moscow’s strategy.

In addition, Bido said that at the conference in Bürgenstock, Switzerland showed that it is capable of bringing about a dialogue between the north and the south. He noted that Switzerland supports the principle of a path to peace based on specific proposals.

In this context, the EDA representative added that Canada, whose Prime Minister attended the summit in Switzerland in June, will hold the next conference in Ottawa in October.

The meeting will discuss humanitarian issues such as prisoners, child abduction, civilian abduction and compliance with the Geneva Conventions.

We will remind

China and Brazil have prepared a 6-point plan to settle the conflict in Ukraine. According to Beijing, more than 110 countries have responded positively to this initiative, which involves holding a peace conference.
