nations.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Madam Chair, every member state of this Organisation of American States has to be deeply concerned for themselves and for world peace and security.<\/p>\n<p>Unquestionably, each of our countries is also deeply disturbed that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine has been violated.<\/p>\n<p>Small countries, such as mine, are especially troubled, because we are militarily and economically powerless.<\/p>\n<p>The only defence we have is respect for and adherence to international law.<\/p>\n<p>When international law is violated, our defences are breached and we are exposed to aggression, in all its forms, that we have little capacity to resist.<\/p>\n<p>Events in Ukraine have unfolded before our eyes.<\/p>\n<p>No one can deny the loss of life and the displacement of millions of people; none can refute that innocent women and children, including babies have been the hapless victims of military action in densely populated cities; no country can turn a blind eye to the dire humanitarian crisis which is worsening even as we now meet.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last three weeks \u2013 and up to yesterday \u2013 the overwhelming majority of our member states have twice voted in the United Nations General Assembly to express condemnation of all violations of international law, including international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p>However, our own organisation is yet to make a collective statement on this matter, even though Ukraine and the Russian Federation are both permanent observers to the OAS and sit among us.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the delegations of Guatemala and Antigua and Barbuda, with the support of several other member states, have brought this important Resolution to the Permanent Council.<\/p>\n<p>We thank the member states that have cosponsored this Resolution and the overwhelming majority of delegations that have pledged their support.<\/p>\n<p>We want an end to this military assault in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>We want a return to international law.<\/p>\n<p>We want the humanitarian situation in Ukraine to be addressed to end the suffering of its people.<\/p>\n<p>We want dialogue and negotiations to end the hostilities and to restore peace.<\/p>\n<p>And, we want all our member states and permanent observers to honour their responsibilities to the principles and values in the OAS Charter.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Chair, in this connection, Antigua and Barbuda moves that we submit the Resolution to a vote, and we now formally do so now.<\/p>\n<p>I respectfully request a roll-call vote, in accordance with article 58 of the Rules of Procedure of this body, Madam Chair.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1875114631\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a
