Latvia, as it chairs the United Nations Security Council, will continue to put Russia's aggression against Ukraine on the agenda. It also plans to hold high-level debates on how to resolve conflicts in an era of rapid technological change. Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes, Latvia's Permanent Representative to the UN, announced this on Monday at a press conference at UN headquarters in New York.
The Security Council is the UN body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. A presidency allows a member state to help shape the council's agenda during its term and to convene thematic meetings.
Priorities
According to Pavļuta-Deslandes, Latvia will keep raising the issue of Ukraine in the council during its presidency. The second stated priority is a high-level debate on resolving conflicts at a time when technology is changing rapidly.
The source gives no further details on the timing of the debates, who will take part, or any planned decisions.
