Almost one and a half years have passed since Russia launched an unprovoked, unjustified and illegal war of aggression against its neighbour Ukraine.

Exactly one year ago, we gathered here to demonstrate that inaction or the deliberate prevention of action in times of crisis and emerging threats to international peace and security is unacceptable to the wider membership of the United Nations.
