“The ICRC is a long-standing and reliable partner of our Assembly, and we express our sincere condolences to the family and colleagues of the deceased,” she said.
“Two days ago during our current affairs debate we called on all sides to stop violence and called for a thorough, impartial and effective investigation into killings and other human rights violations in order to bring those responsible to justice. Today I reiterate this call: peace is necessary and imperative, it is the only way to achieve respect for human rights and ultimately reconciliation,” Brasseur said.
The ICRC has been working in Ukraine since the onset of the crisis this year, supporting hospitals, helping displaced and vulnerable people, and restoring contact between family members separated by the conflict.
