Joined by Guatemalan sister Amb de Sciolli in proposing a Declaration at the OAS condemning Russian violation of international law by invading Ukraine. More than two-thirds majority supported the Declaration yesterday. We stood for right.

Are We All Ukrainians?

If Russia can seize Ukraine’s territory by force, what protects the sovereignty of small states? Ukraine’s struggle is our concern too. Silence today may weaken our own security tomorrow.

Honoured to receive Ukraine’s Order of Merit today awarded to me by President Zelensky last year. Defending Ukraine’s sovereignty means defending a principle vital to every small nation: our unequal power does not diminish our equal rights. Ukraine’s sovereignty deserves respect

@USAmbPH Ambassador Lipton is a credit to his nation.

La OEA ha perdido a un gigante. Jean Michel Arrighi fue custodio de sus normas y memoria institucional y encarnó su alma. Su sabiduría, generosidad y entrega perduraron durante su enfermedad. Los Estados miembros deben rendirle un homenaje digno y duradero.

[Sir Ronald Sanders @sirronsanders]

**English**

The OAS has lost a giant. Jean Michel Arrighi safeguarded its rules and institutional memory and embodied its soul. His wisdom, generosity and devotion endured throughout his illness. Member states should honour his legacy with a fitting, lasting tribute.

@volker_turk @Caribintelligen UN officials nust go beyond “urging” nations to stop the flow of illegal weapons into Haiti. They should design a plan for UN adoption to identify the perpetrators from all countries and agree on stiff national and international penalties - and this should include money flows.

@WHAAsstSecty @StateDept I have known and respected Mike Kozak for more than a decade. He made a difference. I wish him well in the years ahead.

[Sir Ronald Sanders @sirronsanders]

I unequivocally condemn Ortega’s outrageous announcement that Nicaragua will end elections. This is an assault on democracy and human rights. All responsible governments should condemn this unacceptable act. The people of Nicaragua have suffered long enough.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Nicaragua's long-serving president Daniel Ortega said the Central American country will no longer hold elections, eliminating the possibility of an electoral challenge when his term ends next year and further entrenching the rule he shares with his wife https://t.co/DjSIg1KefY

La Misión de Antigua y Barbuda ante la OEA acoge con satisfacción el resultado pacífico de las elecciones en Honduras; felicita a Nasry Asfura por su elección; espera continuar manteniendo estrechas relaciones con el pueblo hondureño.

[Sir Ronald Sanders @sirronsanders]

The Antigua and Barbuda Mission to the OAS welcomes the peaceful outcome of Honduras elections; congratulates Nasry Asfura on being elected; looks forward to continuing close relations with the Honduran people.

[Sir Ronald Sanders @sirronsanders]

Antigua y Barbuda lamenta esta situación. Expresamos claramente nuestra postura ante el Consejo Permanente de la OEA: esperamos que se cuenten todas las actas y que se respete la voluntad de la mayoría del electorado.

[Juan Pablo Segura @WHAAsstSecty]

It is deeply troubling to see certain parties and candidates continue disrupting Honduras’ electoral process. It’s imperative that those involved fulfill their obligations in a timely manner so the CNE can finalize the official results. Anyone who obstructs or attempts to delay the work of the CNE will face consequences.  The Honduran people have waited long enough. They deserve a timely, transparent, and credible process.

[Sir Ronald Sanders @sirronsanders]

@WHAAsstSecty Antigua and Barbuda joins in regretting this situation. We made our position clear @oas permanent council that we expect all tally sheets counted and the will of the majority if the electorate to be upheld.

When the UN weakens, small and vulnerable states lose the protection of law — and power fills the vacuum.

Multilateralism isn’t charity. It’s survival.

The UN is being starved — and the world is sleepwalking into a crisis of multilateral collapse.
