Statement by Minister Osman Saleh at the Geneva Conference on Unilateral Sanctions

Geneva, Switzerland 9-10 April 2026

Excellencies, Distinguished Participants, Ladies and Gentlemen,
At the outset, allow me to convey Eritrea’s sincere appreciation to the organizers of this timely and consequential conference. We commend Professor Alena Douhan, the Special Rapporteur on the Negative Impact of Unilateral Coercive Measures on the Enjoyment of Human Rights and Professor Attiya Waris, the Independent Expert on the effects of foreign debt for advancing a principled and evidence-based discourse on what has become one of the most pressing, yet insufficiently scrutinized, features of the contemporary international system.
