Statement following yesterday's (12 August) extraordinary meeting of the EU's Political and Security Committee: Iraq, Ukraine, Gaza
Following yesterday's (12 August) extraordinary meeting of the EU's Political and Security Committee (PSC), the spokesperson of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy issued a statement on the three major crises which were discussed.
On Iraq, he stated: "There was unanimous agreement on the need for urgent and increased international co-ordinated humanitarian support, as well as the necessity to access the increasing number of people forced to flee the conflict, in particular those blocked on Sinjar mountain, adding to the already very large number of internally displaced people."
On Ukraine, the PSC addressed the humanitarian situation and had a preliminary discussion about the impact of Russian retaliation to EU sanctions and its legality. On Gaza, the PSC "had an exchange of views on possible EU action. At the invitation of the PSC, the EEAS will develop options for an EU contribution in the post-ceasefire scenario, taking into account the PSC discussion and several written contributions by member states."
