The works of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly hosted by Bucharest have come to an end. A final declaration was adopted containing the resolutions of the internal committees, including one on the deterioration of the human rights situation in the break-away region of Transnistria, in the Republic of Moldova. Another important subject discussed over the five days of the session was the war waged by Russia against Ukraine. It was for this reason that the delegations of Russia and Belarus were not present at this annual meeting, explained the Romanian foreign minister Luminita Odobescu. Until Russia halts this unjustified aggression against a sovereign state, this organisation, including its parliamentary assembly, cannot resume its normal works and remains a forum where Russia is held responsible for violating international law, Odobescu emphasised.
