“Hands off the ICC, and all those other institutions that protect the international legal order.”
Prime Minister Rob Jetten addressed the UN General Assembly on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 🇺🇳

“Handen af van het ICC en alle andere instituties die de internationale rechtsorde beschermen.”
In mijn toespraak in de Algemene Vergadering van de Verenigde Naties benadrukte ik het belang van de internationale rechtsorde, in een tijd van grove schendingen van het internationaal recht.
Het is aan de middenmachten om het voortouw te nemen voor meer internationale samenwerking. Met als uitgangspunt dat het internationaal recht werkt voor iedereen, of voor niemand.
Ook sprak ik over de noodzaak van ambitieuze klimaatmaatregelen. De tijd van wegkijken is echt voorbij.

Een belangrijke stap met Zweden: we ondertekenen een overeenkomst voor de aanschaf van een verkenningsvliegtuig en gaan nauw samenwerken bij de inzet. Dit vliegtuig houdt vanuit de lucht grote gebieden in de gaten en helpt ons dreigingen eerder te zien.

Russia’s war continues to cause immense damage, while Ukraine faces growing financial needs. The principle is clear: the aggressor should pay. Frozen Russian assets can play a role in financing Ukraine’s recovery. 1/2

In times of uncertainty, dialogue and collective action matter more than ever.

A meeting of the Joint Expeditionary Force will be held in Helsinki tomorrow. The JEF is a military partnership of 10 northern European countries. Its aim is to be able to take action quickly and effectively in the event of a crisis, both independently and in cooperation with organisations such as NATO and the United Nations.
Ahead of the summit, I met with President @alexstubb of Finland this evening. The Netherlands and Finland have excellent relations and are like-minded countries in areas such as European security, the rule of law and human rights.
We discussed the vital support for Ukraine, strengthening Europe’s role in NATO, and our concerns regarding developments in the Middle East.
Afterwards I attended a working dinner with President Stubb, Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore of Norway and Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir of Iceland. We discussed the good cooperation between the Netherlands and the Nordic countries.

The world as we knew it has changed. As EU, we are navigating these changes together.

Oekraïne vecht al vier jaar tegen deze grootschalige Russische invasie. Een zware strijd voor vrijheid, maar ook voor onze Europese veiligheid.
Steun voor Oekraïne blijft hard nodig. Net als maximale druk op Rusland.
Daar gaat dit kabinet zich met volle kracht voor inzetten.
