Ambassador Lyall Grant: ‘international community has an equal and shared responsibility to do all it can to protect populations at risk’
On 21 January, Sir Mark Lyall Grant, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the UK Mission to the UN, stated at the UN Special event to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi extermination camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau that: ‘Where a state is failing to act to protect its own citizens or, worse, is actively persecuting and killing them, the international community has an equal and shared responsibility to do all it can to protect populations at risk.’
