BACKING UKRAINE'S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY, UN ASSEMBLY DECLARES CRIMEA
REFERENDUM INVALIDNew York, Mar 27 2014 1:00PMIn a vote that
reaffirmed Ukraine's unity and territorial integrity, the United
Nations General Assembly today adopted a measure underscoring that the
mid-March referendum in Crimea that led to the peninsula's annexation
by Russia "has no validity" and that the parties should "pursue
immediately a peaceful resolution of the situation."

By a vote of 100 in favour to 11 against, with 58 abstentions, the
193-member Assembly called on all States, international organizations
and specialized agencies not to recognize any alteration of the status
of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on the
basis of the 16 March referendum "and to refrain from any action or
dealing that might be interpreted as recognizing any such altered
status."

Action in the Assembly follows months of ratcheting tensions in
Ukraine triggered by the Government's decision last November not to
sign an agreement on broader European integration. The capital, Kiev,
erupted in violent demonstrations and street clashes in late January,
culminating in the removal by Parliament of President Viktor
Yanukovych.

Tensions continued to mount in the Crimea region, where Russian troops
and armoured vehicles were deployed in February and a secession
referendum was later held, in which, according to the UN, Crimean
authorities announced that close to 97 per cent of those who voted did
so in favour of the region joining Russia.

Subsequently, Crimea declared its independence, which in turn was
recognized by Russia. In the immediate aftermath of those events,
President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty to make Crimea part of
Russia, while the Government in Kiev committed to never accept
Crimea's independence or annexation.

Throughout, the UN has continued to press for a diplomatic solution to
the crisis, with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Deputy
Secretary-General Jan Eliasson and other senior officials having
visited the region, including Moscow and Crimea, over the past three
weeks.

The UN Security Council convened seven sessions on the situation in
Ukraine, and at its eighth meeting, Russia, one of the 15-nation
body's permanent members, blocked action by voting against a draft
resolution that would have urged countries not to recognize the
results of the referendum in Crimea.

The non-binding text adopted by the Assembly today contained similar
language, underscoring that the referendum held in Crimea has no
validity and cannot form the basis for any alteration of the status of
Crimea or of the city of Sevastopol. It calls on all States to "desist
and refrain" from actions aimed at the partial or total disruption of
Ukraine's national unity and territorial integrity, "including any
attempts to modify Ukraine's borders through the threat or use of
force or other unlawful means."

Finally, the Assembly resolution makes explicit reference to the
primacy of the UN Charter's call for the preservation of the unity and
territorial integrity of all UN Member States, and also recalls the
1994 Memorandum on Security Assurances in Connection with Ukraine's
Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,
the 1997 Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between
Ukraine and Russian, and other bilateral agreements between Ukraine
and Russia.Mar 27 2014 1:00PM
