Fifty years ago, on September 18, 1973, by New York’s East River, two German states joined the United Nations. This event was the result of a brief General Assembly resolution – however, it was anything but routine business in the world of diplomacy.
Almost three decades after the end of the Second World War that Germany had begun, and the genocide of Europe’s Jews that had brought immeasurable suffering to millions of people, this day marked a return of the “defeated enemy nation” to the international community. We remain grateful for this return today – and we see it as an obligation.
This task and our 50 years of United Nations membership are more important now than ever – at a time when fundamental principles of the United Nations are being eroded. That is why we joined over 140 states in the General Assembly in advocating for the people of Ukraine and for the principles of the Charter. Because under this Charter every state has the right to live in peace, without having to fear that a stronger neighbour will attack.
We therefore seek to strengthen our partnerships with all states around the world who value an international order based on rules and the law. Those who are calling into question this order have thus far failed to indicate what principles a better, more just order should be built on. But honest partnerships also mean critically examining our own actions. This is why Germany has initiated the return of artefacts looted during the colonial era. Doing so will not heal all of the wounds of the past. But it is an important step in efforts to address our dark colonial history.
The arrest was confirmed by Benjamin Hundeyin, the official spokesperson for the Lagos Police Command, who stated, "Azeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, has been detained for the purpose of an intensive interrogation and further investigative procedures.
