G20 Condemns Russian Aggression Against Ukraine, Releases 16-Page Communique

November 16, 2022

The G20 nations at the Bali summit have released their final communique - or declaration. Top of their agenda is condemnation of Russia, a member state.

The statement says members stated their national positions which include a UN resolution that "deplores in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and demands its complete and unconditional withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine".

"Most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stressed it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating existing fragilities in the global economy - constraining growth, increasing inflation, disrupting supply chains, heightening energy and food insecurity, and elevating financial stability risks."

"There were other views and different assessments of the situation and sanctions."

Nuclear weapons: Leaders agreed that the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is "inadmissible" and that it is essential to uphold international law. They said the peaceful resolution to conflicts was vital, and "today’s era must not be of war".

Food and energy security: They pledged to cushion price rises, increase investments, support open trade and renewable energy, and stabilise markets. They welcomed the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a UN-brokered deal which allows grain and other food to be exported out of Ukrainian ports - though this will expire in days.

Global health: They promised to continue strengthening national health systems and sharing of health data and research to combat future pandemics

Climate change and environment: They resolved to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, and step up efforts to halt biodiversity loss.
