Das war wahrlich eine Teamleistung. Österreich wird sich im Sicherheitsrat beharrlich für einen auf Völkerrecht und Menschenrechten basierenden Multilateralismus einsetzen.

(TR) Arbitrary exercise of power by the "stronger" and reckless, short-sighted interest politics increasingly jeopardize peaceful cooperation between the countries. That is exactly why we must do everything we can to strengthen the @UN, which stands for this peaceful commonality.
(TR) Austria has just been elected by 131 member states of the UN General Assembly as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2027-2028 – a great success!
(TR) For over five years, the Belarusian opposition figure Maria Kalesnikava was in political imprisonment. Today, six months after her release, I was very pleased to receive her for a conversation. Thank you very much for your visit, @by_kalesnikava! (vdb)
(TR) In these times, we must stand up for diplomacy and multilateralism every day. The world needs the UN today more than ever.
Alexander Van der Bellen: Austria has lost an unyielding visionary and an icon of freedom. She was an artist who created herself.
Alexander Van der Bellen: Austria has lost an indomitable visionary and an icon of freedom.
Alexander Van der Bellen: Eine Ikone der Freiheit. Sie sei eine Künstlerin gewesen, die sich selbst schuf.
(TR) Her work shaped generations of artists. Austria loses in her an unyielding visionary and an icon of freedom.
(TR) As a pioneer of media and performance art, she asked uncomfortable questions about body, gender, and power. She was one of the very few women in a male-dominated avant-garde – and the bravest voice among them.
Alexander Van der Bellen: Nás nespája len geografia a história, ale aj spoločné záujmy a spoločné výzvy, ktorých je veľmi veľa.
(TR) Democracy, the rule of law, and the freedom of the individual are not a given. The "Gate of Freedom Memorial" in Brána Svobody, near the Austrian border, reminds us of the price that people had to pay because they wanted to live in freedom.
2️⃣ In a world increasingly dominated by the power of the strongest, it is important that the European Union stands united. Thank you for the discussion and for your time, @RobertFicoSVK. #EuropeanUnity #StrengthInNumbers #GlobalLeadership #EU #SK
(TR) The crisis in the Middle East reminds us once again how vulnerable we are when it comes to energy security. Our common goal is clean, secure energy at affordable prices.
In Europe, we drew consequences after 1945: with the European Convention on Human Rights, which has constitutional status in Austria, and with the establishment of a common, peaceful order – the European Union. (Original: 2⃣ In Europa haben wir nach 1945 Konsequenzen gezogen: mit der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention, die in Österreich Verfassungsrang hat, und mit dem Aufbau einer gemeinsamen, friedlichen Ordnung – der Europäischen Union.) #EuropeanUnion #HumanRights #PostWarHistory #AT #EU
On May 5, 1945, the Mauthausen concentration camp was liberated. Today we commemorate the victims. It is a day of pause – and a day when we ask ourselves: How could this crime against humanity happen? How could it be intended, planned, and implemented? (Original: Am 5. Mai 1945 wurde das KZ Mauthausen befreit. Heute gedenken wir der Opfer. Es ist ein Tag des Innehaltens – und ein Tag, an dem wir uns fragen: Wie konnte es zu diesem Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit kommen? Wie konnte es gewollt, geplant und umgesetzt werden? 1⃣ https://t.co/pImls4RLQR) #NeverForget #HolocaustRemembrance #HumanRights #AT #DE
2️⃣ Progress now depends on key reforms. I encourage all political actors to make the necessary efforts to enable the start of EU accession negotiations. Austria will continue to stand as a reliable & committed partner, supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina on its European path. (vdb) -
