Excellent conversation betw. Sec. Gen. Marschik & Miroslav Jenča, SR & Head of the UN Verification Mission in Colombia today in Vienna. As Austria prepares for its mandate on the UN Security Council 2027-2028, important opportunity to discuss developments in Colombia & the region

A world free of nuclear weapons begins with ending nuclear testing. Today on #IDANT, Austria honours victims of past tests & renews its commitment to sustainable peace and security. As proud host of @CTBTO_org we call all remaining states to join the CTBT and adhere to its terms.

Deeply saddened by the devastating flash floods in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and China. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the rescue teams. Austria stands in solidarity with the affected communities.

Russia's recent attacks in #Ukraine affecting @UN_Ukraine and @RedCrossUkraine facilities are utterly unacceptable. They violate #IHL and add to the devastating civilian toll of Russia's war of aggression. Humanitarian organisations must be able to assist those most in need. @UNICEF_UA @WFPUkraine

Austria stands firmly behind the International Criminal Court. The Court is a key actor in ensuring accountability for the worst atrocity crimes and bringing justice to victims, and should be able to carry out its mandate under the Rome Statute without undue interference.

The Pacific region that knows the human cost of nuclear weapons better than most is strengthening the global taboo against these weapons.

Austria has adopted its first Africa Strategy — developed in close consultation with our African partners. We are committed to deepening cooperation on shared priorities, including UN reform, to advance fairer representation and a more effective multilateral system. 🌍🤝

Russia is under enormous military and economic pressure. Its response is terror against Ukraine’s civilian population and an attempt to intimidate Europe. But Europe will not be intimidated. Every new act of aggression only makes us more united.

We strongly condemn Russia’s threats and acts of intimidation against #Latvia, #Lithuania and #Estonia. The EU stands united against #Russia’s hybrid escalation and is ready to respond.

Die 🇦🇹Botschaft in Tel Aviv steht zu den in 🇮🇱 in Gewahrsam befindlichen 3 österr. Teilnehmenden an der Gaza-Hilfsflottille in engem Austausch mit den 🇮🇱 Behörden und setzt alle Schritte, um die Betroffenen bestmöglich zu unterstützen und ihre baldige Ausreise zu ermöglichen. (1/3)

Das Außenministerium hatte bereits im Vorfeld dringend von einer Teilnahme an der Gaza-Hilfsflottille abgeraten. Die 🇮🇱 Seite wurde dazu aufgerufen, mit größtmöglicher Zurückhaltung und unter Wahrung der Sicherheit der Betroffenen vorzugehen. (2/3)

Timely first EU-Armenia #Summit, underpinning our joint strategic agenda for security, prosperity and stability based on common values. Our relations have never been closer, among them connectivity & trade, visa liberalisation dialogue, fighting #FIMI and #disinformation. (1/2)

We strongly condemn #Iran’s unprovoked missile and drone strikes against our Gulf partners and express our full solidarity with the #UAE and #Oman. These attacks have to end immediately, de-escalation and a diplomatic solution are urgently needed.

Journalists often risk their lives —especially in conflict zones. In 2025, 129 were killed. Press freedom is under threat worldwide. On #WorldPressFreedomDay we reaffirm that independent media are the cornerstone of democracy—Austria stands committed to defending them.

40 years after the #Chornobyl catastrophe, Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear energy infrastructure once again pose a grave threat to nuclear safety. We call on Russia to immediately stop these attacks and fully cooperate with @iaeaorg.

#Belarus’ decision to label the European Humanities University in Vilnius as an “extremist organisation” in addition to new laws worsening discrimination against the LGBTIQ+ community marks yet another blatant violation of #human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Today, Austria joined the Enlarged Partial Agreement (EPA) of the Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. #Accountability is a key trajectory of Austria’s foreign policy. There can be no lasting peace in Ukraine without accountability.

The #Russian Supreme Court’s decision to label Nobel Peace Prize laureate #Memorial as an extremist organization is yet another incomprehensible and drastic step of repression against fundamental freedoms and accountability in Russia and beyond.

Die Waffenpause im Iran-Krieg ist eine wichtige Verschnaufpause. Jetzt muss verhandelt werden. Was in diesem Krieg passiert, hat unmittelbare Auswirkungen auch auf uns in Österreich. Deshalb ist es in unserem Interesse, alles zu unternehmen, um eine diplomatische Lösung zu finden.

The world calls for Easter peace. Ukraine proposes a weekend ceasefire — yet Russia responds with unprecedented attacks on cities, causing civilian casualties. This war must stop. We urge Russia to engage in meaningful talks and agree to a full, unconditional ceasefire.

On the anniversary of the Bucha massacre, we honour the victims as RU’s attacks on UA continue unabated. Even as war rages in the Middle East, RU’s aggression remains the greatest threat to our security. We will ensure full accountability. This war must end with a lasting peace.

#Georgia continues to break its commitments by enacting legislation contrary to democratic & fundamental rights. The EU is therefore suspending visa-free travel for Georgian holders of diplomatic, service or official passports. bsky.app/profile/kaja...

If a government attacks its own people, silences journalists, and curtails freedom, there are consequences. (1/2)
