LAGOS — Domestic flights in Nigeria were being disrupted on Monday, local airlines said, as aviation employees in Lagos blocked roads to the country's busiest local airport to begin a two-day strike in protest over working conditions and wages. The strike is likely to add to problems in a sector that regularly faces jet fuel shortages, which often ground local flights and where international carriers struggle to repatriate revenue from ticket sales due to dollar shortages. Air Peace, which also flies international and regional routes and has the largest fleet, told passengers that 'flights across our network will consequently be disrupted' due to the strike.

Chairs, as we said this morning, and as we have seen in detail this afternoon, the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam is a major catastrophe with wide-reaching ecological and humanitarian consequences. Tens of thousands have been directly impacted by the resultant flooding. Let us be clear. Russia has controlled the area since just after the invasion and must bear ultimate responsibility: none of the suffering that we have seen or the damage caused would have happened if Russia had not launched an unprovoked and illegal war of aggression.

The rule of law is ideal in any thriving democracy—it is built on the foundational principle that laws should apply equally and impartially to everyone, even to state agents, lawmakers, and leaders, their representatives, or members of their families. Stable and predictable laws are to be implemented, regardless of individuals' socioeconomic status and political connections. Where the rule of law prevails, even the state itself can be held accountable for 'laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced and adjudicated, and which are consistent with international human rights norms' (Department of Justice, Good Governance and the Rule of Law, Philippine Development Forum).
