IIP Statement about the current war in Ukraine

For many years the IIP has been focusing on developments in and around Ukraine. IIP team cannot remain silent about the attack by Russia on a sovereign state that it claims to be a brotherly nation. Russia is committing a crime on humanity in Ukraine that can have no justification. The intervention violates international law and the universal principle of non-interference. The war has to end and violence has to stop. Only an immediate and enduring ceasefire can be the basis for a political and non-military solution. The IIP always supports diplomacy and dialogue.
