The Netherlands 🇳🇱 is a strong supporter of @IAEAorg’s work to ensure nuclear safety and security in Ukraine. Thanks also for backing our indispensable role in verification efforts in Iran. Excellent to meet with @DutchMFA’s @ministerBZ @CasparVeldkamp at #URC2025 in Rome.

[Luxembourg Mission in Vienna 🇱🇺 @LUinVienna]

At today's #BoardofGovernors Amb. Graff, on behalf of the #Benelux Countries, stressed the central role the @iaeaorg plays for maintaining #nuclearsecurity worldwide, essential for enhancing nuclear safety. 🇧🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺for a strong, independent and universally supported @IAEA!

[EU Ambassador Carl Hallergard 🇪🇺🇺🇳 @CHallergard]

To mark 3rd year of Russia’s full scale war of aggression against Ukraine, @euunvie, @SwedenUN_Vienna, @AustriaUNVienna, @UKRinOSCE & NL mission organised panel discussion on Challenges to International Norms Regarding Use of Force & Respect for Territorial Integrity of #Ukraine

[EU Ambassador Carl Hallergard 🇪🇺🇺🇳 @CHallergard]

Important to uphold and defend international law and not to accept or trivialise Russia’s crime of aggression

No one is above the law

The EU has joined forces with over 40 countries to establish a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against #Ukraine

#StandWithUkraine

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

As we mark 3 years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is vital that we push even harder for a just and lasting peace.

European allies are ready and willing to do their part - including with robust security guarantees and more financial assistance

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

[Rafael Mariano Grossi @rafaelmgrossi]

Attacking a nuclear power plant is a no-go.

Targeting those ensuring its safety and security—like the Dec 10 incident where a drone hit and damaged an @IAEAorg vehicle during a team rotation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya NPP—is unacceptable.

On this day in 1953, US President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his historic 'Atoms for Peace' speech at the @UN General Assembly in NYC. This speech paved the way for the creation of the IAEA in 1957, championing nuclear science & tech for peace & development around the globe.

[Netherlands at OSCE @NLOSCE]

The MC today appointed Christophe Kamp as High Commissioner on National Minorities. We congratulate him with his new position and thank him for his tireless efforts as 🇳🇱 Permanent Representative to the OSCE since August 2022. All the best, Christophe, we will miss you!

Today, kids across the Netherlands are eagerly awaiting #Pakjesavond (Gifts Evening).

Sinterklaas made a quick stop at the @EUCouncil to leave a small treat for everyone who has been good this year!

Tonight, and for the next #16Days, I am proud that @UN_Vienna will light up in orange in solidarity with women and girls everywhere.

Our mural reminds us of the importance of empowering and listening to women as we work to create a world free from violence.

#OrangeTheWorld

[Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱 @DutchMFA]

This afternoon, @ministerBZ Caspar Veldkamp raised the #OrangeTheWorld flag at our ministry. The Netherlands works to prevent and eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. We underline the crucial importance of international cooperation to ignite change. #NoExcuse

[UN Vienna @UN_Vienna]

Following a panel discussion on preventing violence against women, UNIS #Vienna in partnership with @SwedeninAT, @SwedenUN_Vienna, @unwomenaustria, @UNODC, @INTERPOL_HQ, @whiteribbon #Austria and others kick-off #16Days of activism with a 6km #OrangeRun through #Vienna.

[EU Ambassador Carl Hallergard 🇪🇺🇺🇳 @CHallergard]

Honoured to welcome Ukraine’s Energy Minister @G_Galushchenko to EU HoMs. Russia’s escalating strikes against #Ukraine's energy infrastructure violate international law and directly threaten nuclear safety & security.
They must stop !
