Speaking at the general political debates of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Polish President Karol Nawrocki stated that the post-war order has a “original flaw”: the principle of accountability for committed crimes was not consistently implemented.
For Poland, according to him, this is not an abstraction: after the destructive German occupation, the country fell under Soviet Union domination and never received compensation for the damage caused. Impunity, he believes, creates a basis for the return of aggressive ambitions. Nawrocki accused Russia of an unsuccessful but persistent attempt to conquer a neighboring state and destabilize the region, as well as ignoring General Assembly resolutions.
He noted that the threats are not limited to combat operations: sabotage, cyberattacks, an artificially induced migration crisis, strikes on ports and ships carrying grain, which affect food security far beyond Europe. The response, he said, must be firm and coordinated.
Poland is strengthening alliances and the army for deterrence, considers NATO a guarantor of European security, and welcomes the enhancement of security in the Arctic thanks to an allies’ agreement signed the day before. He called energy sovereignty a condition for security and political independence. “The rule of law, not the law of power, must prevail,” the president declared.
Poland, the 20th largest economy in the world, should get a seat in the G20 as the voice of Central Europe, Navrocki said. He thanked Donald Trump for the invitation to the December summit in Miami.
The President called the demographic crisis a “challenge for civilization,” urged the protection of the family (“mother and father”), spoke out against abortions and illegal migration. He also warned that overly ambitious climate policy could lead to deindustrialization and “emissions export,” talked about the persecution of Christians, and reminded about “Solidarity” as an example of courage.
Navrotsky confirmed support for the two-state solution in the Middle East, mentioned Polish peacekeepers in Lebanon, and proposed developing a binding international agreement to limit the use of artificial intelligence.
According to him, the UN reform should make the organization capable of preventing violations of the law.
