Austria extends its deepest condolences to the people of the #Philippines. The heavy rains & flooding caused by Typhoon Kalmaegi have brought tragic loss & suffering. Our thoughts are with all those affected. We stand in solidarity with the Philippines in this difficult time.

Heute jährt sich die Ermordung von Yitzhak Rabin zum 30. Mal. Gemeinsam mit Schimon Peres trieb er den Osloer Friedensprozess voran, der den Weg zur palästinensischen Selbstverwaltung ebnete und wofür er den Friedensnobelpreis erhielt.

The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment. We urge all parties to prevent further escalation. The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly. Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania. My statement on behalf of the EU ↓

AT expresses its steadfast solidarity with all those supporting Latvia’s continued commitment to the #IstanbulConvention. Protecting #women from violence is vital for democracy, human rights and a resilient society.

The EU, including AT, stands in full solidarity with Lithuania and calls for an immediate end to the provocative hybrid actions by Belarus.

We are gravely concerned by reports of mass killings of civilians by the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF). We call on the RSF to respect intl. humanitarian law, protect civilians, & ensure safe corridors. We call on all parties to cease hostilities and return to the negotiating table.

🇦🇹 is proud to be among the first signatories of the #UNCybercrimeConvention — making cyberspace safer for all of us, standing up for stronger #multilateralism, and reaffirming Vienna‘s key role as UN headquarters (@UNODC).

Recent developments demonstrate how far #Russia is still away from a willingness for meaningful peace negotiations. Instead, Russia continues to attack energy infrastructure, cities & civilians. 1/2

In den letzten Wochen fand ein Dialogforum mit 100 Bürgerinnen & Bürgern zur Überarbeitung der 🇦🇹 Sicherheitsstrategie statt. In Salzburg diskutierte @BMeinl mit & betonte die Bedeutung der Auseinandersetzung mit Sicherheit auf allen Ebenen. Nur gemeinsam schaffen wir Sicherheit!

We condemn the #Russian attack on a United Nations humanitarian convoy in Cherson in #Ukraine. Humanitarians are protected by international humanitarian law and must never be a target!

🎗️Guy und Evyatar sind frei! Über zwei Jahre Martyrium sind endlich vorbei! Heute Morgen hat die Hamas endlich alle noch lebenden Geiseln freigelassen. Ich habe Guys und Evyatars Eltern öfters getroffen und freue mich einfach heute ganz besonders für sie!

Israel/Palestine: statement by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union on the Comprehensive Plan to end the Gaza Conflict

This week, #Albania, #Moldova, #Montenegro & #NorthMacedonia reached a major milestone on their path to #EU membership! The Single Euro Payment Area (#SEPA) is now fully operational with these countries, making Euro transfers easier, faster & cheaper for citizens & businesses.

Videobotschaft von @BMeinl zum 2. Jahrestag des brutalen Terrorangriffs der Hamas auf #Israel youtu.be/QBgn0tJDiOU

On the sad anniversary of Hamas’ barbaric terror attack on Israel, our hearts & thoughts are with the victims, their families and with the hostages still held captive in Gaza. 2 years after the horrors of 7 October 2023, the terrible conflict that has ensued must finally end. 1/1

We welcome the readiness by Russia & the US to adhere to the #NewSTART limits for a year after expiry. More nuclear weapons won’t make anyone safer – neither the US, nor Russia nor the rest of the world. Let us use this time to get to deeper cuts through a new agreement.

The violence against protesters and the detention of various opposition leaders in #Georgia are unacceptable. We once again call on the Georgian leadership to start a meaningful dialogue with the civil society.

Israel/Palestine: Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union on Gaza www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

Putin unleashes yet another brutal wave of airstrikes on Ukraine — civilians killed in several cities. This horror must end immediately! #StandByUkraine”

Für alle Nachteulen: Heute wird Außenministerin @BMeinl ihre Rede vor der UNO-Generalversammlung in New York halten: +/- 1:30 Uhr unter webtv.un.org/en #UNGA

Gemeinsam rufen wir Israel dazu auf, einen humanitären Korridor zu öffnen und medizinische Lieferung in den Gazastreifen zu erlauben.

Deshalb schließen wir uns gemeinsam mit 21 Staaten der dänischen Initiative an, um Verletzte zur medizinischen Behandlung ins Westjordanland und nach Ost-Jerusalem zu evakuieren und zu versorgen. 2️⃣

Die humanitäre Laga in #Gaza ist katastrophal. Auch wir haben die Verpflichtung vor Ort zu helfen. 1️⃣

Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on the unprovoked violation of the EU’s airspace by #Russia

Deeply concerned about today’s air strikes which violate #Qatar‘s territorial integrity & sovereignty. They put the hostages at risk & undermine negotiations for an urgently needed ceasefire in Gaza. We call on all to refrain from further actions that threaten regional stability.

Another horrific Russian airstrike on #Ukraine with more than 20 civilian deaths, this time in the Donetsk region. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims. This must stop! #StandbyUkraine

🎥 Live um +/- 14:30 Uhr: Pressestatement von Außenministerin @BMeinl und der EU-Kommissarin für Erweiterung, @MartaKosEU bmeia.gv.at/ministerium/pr…

Last night, Russia launched another brutal airstrike on #Ukraine, resulting in civilian casualties. Pressure on Russia, including sanctions, must be further increased! #StandByUkraine

We communicated to the Russian chargé d’affaires that the inflicted damage against the offices of the EU delegation in #Kyjiv is unacceptable! Attacks against civilian infrastructure have to stop! An immediate #ceasefire is urgently needed! #StandbyUkraine.

We are appalled by the killing of civilians, including journalists and healthcare workers, in Israeli airstrikes on #NasserHospital. Attacks on hospitals are a flagrant violation of international law. We need an immediate and permanent #ceasefire!

On #Ukraine's #IndependenceDay we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. This includes continued support in areas such as humanitarian demining! Let’s seize the current momentum to end the war & achieve a comprehensive, just & lasting #peace.

Austria condemns #Israel’s decision to approve thousands of new housing units in the E1 area of the West Bank. This plan violates international law and risks permanently endangering prospects for a two-state solution. We urge the Israeli government to reconsider this decision.

Europäische und transatlantische Einheit, anhaltende Unterstützung für die #Ukraine und noch stärkerer Druck auf Russland sind notwendig, um einen umfassenden, gerechten und dauerhaften #Frieden in der Ukraine zu erreichen.

Austria fully supports US efforts to end Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine through high-level diplomacy. It remains essential that no decision is made about Ukraine without Ukraine. #StandByUkraine🇺🇦

5 years ago, #Belarusians were denied their democratic electoral rights. The release of the opposition leader Sergei Tikhanovsky & 13 other political prisoners in June was an important step, but over 1,100 political prisoners remain in prison. They must be released immediately!

Important step towards peace between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan achieved in Washington today: We support the initialling of a peace agreement for the benefit of the whole region. 🇦🇹 stands ready to assist in next steps.

80 Jahre nach dem Atombombenabwurf auf #Hiroshima bekräftigt Österreich sein Engagement für eine Welt ohne Atomwaffen. Gemeinsam mit Partnern setzt sich Österreich für Rüstungskontrolle und multilaterale Abrüstungsbemühungen ein. #nuclearban

50 years after the signing of the Helsinki Final Act, we need the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe @OSCE more than ever: to defend the rules-based international order and to rebuild trust.

The ongoing violence in southern #Syria is deeply troubling. We strongly condemn the attacks against the Druze community and call on all internal&foreign actors to deescalate. Syria’s sovereignty must be respected; stability&protection for all its citizens need to be ensured.

Russia‘s hybrid attacks aim to undermine our security & democracy. Together with 🇬🇧, the 🇪🇺 sends a strong signal: those spreading disinformation, sabotage & cyberattacks will face consequences–including sanctions. Our support for Ukraine remains unshaken.

On #InternationalJusticeDay, we mark the adoption of the #RomeStatute in 1998 — laying the foundation for the @IntlCrimCourt. Austria stands firmly behind a strong, independent #ICC that holds individuals accountable for international crimes. #Accountability #MoreJustWorld

🌈 #WeStandWithPride #Budapest Peaceful assembly & freedom of expression are fundamental rights and core European values. Governments must respect and protect them — for all citizens, regardless of who they love. AT stands with all who raise their voices for equality and dignity.

80 years ago, the #UNCharter was signed. It marked the beginning of a new world order based on int’l law & cooperation, where might does not make right but where the rule of law prevails. In times like these, the #UNCharter should remain our guiding beacon of hope, more than ever.
