Thank you, Mr Vice-President, We commend the Office's continued engagement in South Sudan, including through the provision of technical assistance and capacity building. While we recognise that technical assistance and capacity building is a vital part of the wider international support needed, it is not the sole answer to addressing South Sudan's human rights, humanitarian and security situation. It needs to be accompanied by strong human rights scrutiny and accountability. The situation in South Sudan is dire.

And it has been the site of ethnic persecutions, forced deportations and political repression. Now, as Russia's war in Ukraine enters its 18th month, the Black Sea peninsula is again both a playground and a battleground.

KYIV — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $500 million in new military aid for Ukraine during an unannounced trip to war-time Kyiv on Saturday, as Ukraine girds for a counteroffensive against Russian forces and grapples with regular air strikes. Trudeau paid his respects at a memorial to Ukrainian soldiers killed fighting pro-Russian forces since 2014, met President Volodymyr Zelensky and addressed Ukraine's parliament. 'We will be there with (you) as much as it takes, for as long as it takes,' he said, in footage of the talks released by Kyiv authorities, as he sat across from the Ukrainian leader.
