Participation in the General Assembly offers an important platform to remind the international community that, as long as thousands remain imprisoned in Belarus, the regime continues its repressive practices, and it supports the war against Ukraine, the situation in Belarus must stay on the global agenda. The world must recognize that Belarusians continue their struggle for freedom and independence.
