The General Committee on Political Affairs and Security of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has adopted a resolution calling for the de-occupation of Crimea and the withdrawal of Russian armed forces from Ukraine.
The resolution entitled “Advancing Sustainable Development to Promote Security: The Role of Parliaments” was adopted at a committee meeting as part of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly’s 28th Annual Session in Luxembourg on Saturday.
