Caricom calls for restraint over Ukraine

Caricom is deeply concerned by the recent developments in Ukraine and calls on all parties involved, to act with self-restraint and responsibility in order to reduce tensions and avoid destabilisation in that region, a release from the Secretariat said yesterday. ‘The Community supports the people of Ukraine in their efforts to settle their differences peacefully, and calls for the respect of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. In this regard, the Community also calls for the use of international mediation and/or negotiations, to address security and human rights concerns in Ukraine, under the auspices of the United Nations”, the release said.

Caricom says it will continue to monitor developments within Ukraine and hopes for peace and calm as political and economic stability are restored within the country.
