Grateful to @Finland_OSCE & @osce_odihr for a successful #WarsawHDC. The Conference reaffirmed that Russia’s war against Ukraine remains a top @OSCE priority, and that Russia will be held accountable for its violations of human rights and international humanitarian law.
Today marks the end of #WarsawHDC, the largest human rights conference in Europe—this year with a record number of participants. A heartfelt thank you to @osce_odihr and all who joined us. Security must include the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. #OSCE25FI
