Increasing challenges - the Polish perspective on regional security and migration

Описание: In Poland's view , Russia’s aggression in Eastern Ukraine and its annexation of Crimea are a severe violation of the basic foundations of the world order established at the end of the Cold War, posing a direct threat to security, democratic institutions and values of free people. Growing instability in the Middle East and North Africa have forced thousands of migrants to flee from their home countries in search of a better and safer life, sparking a major crisis in Europe. In Asia, power politics, the use of military force and disregard for international law become more and more apparent.

Poland's foreign affairs Minister talks about possible actions that can be taken to address these issues effectively. He presents Poland’s role in promoting international peace and security, stability, as well as sustained development, in particular the country’s active involvement in UN peacekeeping operations. He also outlines his strategic vision of Poland’s potential contribution to the activities of the UN Security Council, on which his country is currently seeking a non-permanent seat for 2018-2019.
