Russia's recent attacks in #Ukraine affecting @UN_Ukraine and @RedCrossUkraine facilities are utterly unacceptable. They violate #IHL and add to the devastating civilian toll of Russia's war of aggression. Humanitarian organisations must be able to assist those most in need. @UNICEF_UA @WFPUkraine

Austria stands firmly behind the International Criminal Court. The Court is a key actor in ensuring accountability for the worst atrocity crimes and bringing justice to victims, and should be able to carry out its mandate under the Rome Statute without undue interference.

A strong start to Austria's 🇦🇹 #Slavkov3 Presidency. 🇦🇹🇨🇿🇸🇰 Secretary General Nikolaus Marschik hosted our Czech 🇨🇿 and Slovak 🇸🇰 partners for the first Coordinators' Meeting in Burgenland.

Congratulations to Tonga (@TongaMfa) – the 100th state to join the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons #TPNW, and on joining the Test Ban Treaty #CTBT the same day.

🇦🇹 is proud to join the #GlobalAllianceForHumanRights, launched today by UN High Commissioner @volker_turk. At a time of growing challenges to human rights worldwide, collective action is essential to uphold human rights as the foundation of peaceful, just & inclusive societies.

Die 🇦🇹Botschaft in Tel Aviv steht zu den in 🇮🇱 in Gewahrsam befindlichen 3 österr. Teilnehmenden an der Gaza-Hilfsflottille in engem Austausch mit den 🇮🇱 Behörden und setzt alle Schritte, um die Betroffenen bestmöglich zu unterstützen und ihre baldige Ausreise zu ermöglichen. (1/3)

We have called numerous times for a comprehensive and lasting #ceasefire in #Ukraine. We call on Moscow to respond positively to President Zelensky‘s offer and prepare the ground for constructive and inclusive negotiations.

Timely first EU-Armenia #Summit, underpinning our joint strategic agenda for security, prosperity and stability based on common values. Our relations have never been closer, among them connectivity & trade, visa liberalisation dialogue, fighting #FIMI and #disinformation. (1/2)

We strongly condemn #Iran’s unprovoked missile and drone strikes against our Gulf partners and express our full solidarity with the #UAE and #Oman. These attacks have to end immediately, de-escalation and a diplomatic solution are urgently needed.

Journalists often risk their lives —especially in conflict zones. In 2025, 129 were killed. Press freedom is under threat worldwide. On #WorldPressFreedomDay we reaffirm that independent media are the cornerstone of democracy—Austria stands committed to defending them.

40 years after the #Chornobyl catastrophe, Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear energy infrastructure once again pose a grave threat to nuclear safety. We call on Russia to immediately stop these attacks and fully cooperate with @iaeaorg.

#Belarus’ decision to label the European Humanities University in Vilnius as an “extremist organisation” in addition to new laws worsening discrimination against the LGBTIQ+ community marks yet another blatant violation of #human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Heute vor 70 Jahren ist Österreich dem #Europarat beigetreten. 🇦🇹 Ein Meilenstein auf unserem Weg zu einer gemeinsamen europäischen Zukunft – getragen von #Demokratie, Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Menschenrechten und unserem gemeinsamen Einsatz für Sicherheit und #Stabilität in Europa.

Today, Austria joined the Enlarged Partial Agreement (EPA) of the Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. #Accountability is a key trajectory of Austria’s foreign policy. There can be no lasting peace in Ukraine without accountability.

The #Russian Supreme Court’s decision to label Nobel Peace Prize laureate #Memorial as an extremist organization is yet another incomprehensible and drastic step of repression against fundamental freedoms and accountability in Russia and beyond.

Grateful to be elected to the UN-Commission on the Status of Women for 2027–2031. Austria will continue to work with partners to advance gender equality and uphold the rights and opportunities of women and girls worldwide.

Die Waffenpause im Iran-Krieg ist eine wichtige Verschnaufpause. Jetzt muss verhandelt werden. Was in diesem Krieg passiert, hat unmittelbare Auswirkungen auch auf uns in Österreich. Deshalb ist es in unserem Interesse, alles zu unternehmen, um eine diplomatische Lösung zu finden.
