Andorra

HAS ENDORSED THE POLITICAL DECLARATION

Andorra was not directly involved in the process to develop a Political Declaration on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. It was, however, among the first group of states to endorse the Political Declaration in Dublin in November 2022.

Statements and positions

Andorra endorsed the Ireland-led joint statement during the 74th session of the UN General Assembly First Committee in 2019.1 The statement recognised the devastating humanitarian effects of the use of explosive weapons in populated areas and encouraged states to participate in international efforts to address the impacts of the use of explosive weapons in populated areas on civilians, including by working towards the creation of an international Political Declaration on this issue.
