Statements at the Security Council

Estonia’s actions were guided by the following principles

We based our actions on international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights, and the rule of law.

We protected fundamental values, including human rights and human dignity. We highlighted the connection between international security, international law and human rights, as well as the importance of conflict prevention. We helped to make sure that the rights of women and children are protected in conflicts.

We increased awareness among Security Council members on the applicability of international law and cybersecurity norms.

We highlighted aspects of currently valid international law and its development that are essentially connected to the birth of the Republic of Estonia; we underscored the importance of the policy of non-recognition.

We supported limiting veto rights in situations that concern genocide or other crimes against humanity. We consider it important for the international community to condemn crimes that are motivated by anti-humanitarian ideologies and committed by criminal regimes.

Estonian Culinary Route

Estonia’s air is among the cleanest in the world, and the freedom to roam is codified in law. Pick berries, mushrooms, or herbs. Go hiking. Or sit still and take inspiration from the sounds of nature.

A short ride is all that’s required to experience Estonia’s full natural diversity. Little distance separates cities and nature. Our versatile cultural heritage and seasons of the year make every visit unique.
