Storyline


A Chinese envoy to the United Nations on Wednesday called for great attention to the flow of weapons and ammunition into the conflict region, which could pose proliferation risks.

Quoting what UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu said that the flow of weapons and ammunition into the conflict region may bring about proliferation risks, Dai Bing, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said that relevant parties should pay great attention thereto, adopt strict control measures, prevent the proliferation of weapons and ammunition, particularly stop them from falling in the hands of terrorists and armed groups, and avoid creating new instability in a greater region.

The large and incessant flow of weapons and ammunition into the conflict region will cause greater civilian casualties, more displaced groups, and a heavier humanitarian toll on innocent civilians, the ambassador told the Security Council briefing on the supplies of armaments to Ukraine.

"More worryingly, some countries keep sending weapons to the conflict areas and expanding the category and range of weapons used, hereby engaged in a proxy war, which will further stoke tensions, amplify the risk of triggering strategic miscalculation, and cause the fighting to escalate and spread further, diminishing the already bleak prospect of ending the conflict. It is hard not to worry about the prospect of prolonged conflict and expansion," he said.

Relevant countries, especially European countries, should take seriously the significant threat that is posed by weapons and explosive left over from war, to post-war recovery and reconstruction as well as to regional peace and stability, re-examine with a sense of responsibility and from a long-term perspective the complex impact and severe consequences caused by the large influx of weapons on the Ukraine crisis and international peace and security, he said.

Dai also noted that the crisis in Ukraine is global and multifaceted in nature, to which there is no purely military solution. In the past year, increasing sanctions and upgrading weapons did not calm the situation, but instead made the conflict more acute and issues more complicated, pushing the situation to a more dangerous precipice.

The envoy said that like many other peace-loving countries, China has repeatedly stressed that dialogue and negotiation are the fundamental way out to end the conflict and restore peace.

China calls upon the international community to build synergy for facilitating dialogue and peace, encourage parties to the conflict to return to negotiations at an early date and resolve the crisis through political means.
