On March 9, 2022, CIPÓ Executive Director Adriana Abdenur gave an interview to BBC Brazil about the War in Ukraine in the face of failed attempts at peace negotiations and a temporary ceasefire. Abdenur commented on the role of the United Nations (UN) in the conflict:
“The Secretary-General could appoint a special envoy to point out ways beyond peace negotiations and implementation of a ceasefire. The UN on many occasions plays a very fundamental role, which entails monitoring the implementation of the cessation of hostilities so that it can have a more detailed, substantive negotiation.“
