President Pavel: Russian aggression has led to increased human rights violations

Russian aggression against Ukraine has spurred increased human rights violations in other countries and inspired those who disregard international norms, President Petr Pavel said on Monday at the Forum 2000 conference in Prague. He emphasized that major global powers, particularly China, should use their influence to promote peace and international cooperation. Pavel noted that countries like North Korea, Iran, Niger, and Venezuela have aligned with Russia, inspired by its aggressive actions. He called on the international community to stop the decline of global standards. The conference will continue through Tuesday.
