Slovenia’s deputy prime minister tells UN one Security Council member “violates the UN Charter,” urges support for Ukraine

Deputy Prime Minister Tanja Fajon of the Republic of Slovenia told the United Nations that Slovenia “strongly stand[s] with Ukraine” and accused an unnamed Security Council member of breaching international obligations.

"There is 1 country in Security Council that violates the UN Charter and the international law," Fajon said, speaking on behalf of the Slovenian government during a brief statement at the United Nations. She noted that Slovenia currently holds a seat on the Security Council.

Fajon framed Slovenia’s remarks in historical and regional terms, saying the country understands what it means “if someone, by force, tries to take your land away or, by force, try to change internationally recognized borders.” She said that perspective informs Slovenia’s support for Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and integrity.

The minister called on the international community to back efforts that could end the war and bring peace to Ukrainians. "We also want to do everything to support any endeavor that is there to end the war and bring to peace to Ukrainians," she said.

Fajon did not name the Security Council member she was referencing in the provided remarks, and no response or formal action was recorded in the supplied transcript. The statement was delivered as a standalone address; the transcript closes with Fajon’s brief thanks.

No votes, resolutions, or motions related to the remarks are recorded in the available excerpt.
