We firmly oppose threats or the use of force, we believe that diplomacy and “International law is the only legitimate way to resolve disputes.”.
In his speech, he expressed that in Chile “we advocate respect for human rights and the sovereignty of Ukraine. We firmly believe that this conflict represents a serious violation of international law and human rights, these The same principles are being transgressed by the Israeli government in Gaza. There is no room for ambiguity or indifference”.

Boric valued the proposal for a joint declaration that would bring closure to the conflict in kyiv“even if that means bringing Russia to the table,” he asserted.
Along these lines, he argued that it is essential not to allow the use of nuclear facilities and “to ensure the protection of Ukrainian children who have been forcibly displaced to Russia, the entire international community must commit to that.”

But it is because “we, as a small country in the south of the world with 20 million inhabitants, are aware that only respect for international law and human rights can guarantee peace, the same applies to the conflict in Gaza.”
“Us We do not accept choosing between the barbarity of Hamas or the massacre led by the war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu.. We choose humanity and civilizational advances that we have achieved as nations. Today it is Ukraine and Palestine, tomorrow it could be any of us“, said.
