A/RES/80/209
Human rights and unilateral coercive measures
Reaffirming the pertinent principles and provisions contained in the Charter of
Economic Rights and Duties of States proclaimed by the General Assembly in its
resolution 3281 (XXIX) of 12 December 1974, in particular article 32 thereof, in
which it declared that no State may use or encourage the use of economic, political
or any other type of measures to coerce another State in order to obtain from it the
subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights,
Recalling the reports of the Secretary-General on the implementation of General
Assembly resolutions 52/120 of 12 December 1997 14 and 55/110 of 4 December
2000, 15
Stressing that unilateral coercive measures and legislation are contrary to
international law, international humanitarian law, the Charter of the United Nations
and the norms and principles governing peaceful relations among States,
Recognizing the universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated character
of all human rights, and in this regard reaffirming the right to development as an
integral part of all human rights,
Recalling the Final Document of the Sixteenth Ministerial Conference and
Commemorative Meeting of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, held in Bali,
Indonesia, from 23 to 27 May 2011, 16 the Final Document of the Nineteenth Summit
of Heads of State or Government of Non-Aligned Countries, held in Kampala on
19 and 20 January 2024, and the documents adopted at previous summits and
conferences, in which States members of the Movement agreed to oppose and
condemn unilateral coercive measures and their continued application, persevere with
efforts to effectively reverse them, urge other States to do likewise, as called for by
the General Assembly and other organs of the United Nations, and request States
applying those measures or laws to revoke them fully and immediately,
Recalling also that, at the World Conference on Human Rights, held in Vienna
from 14 to 25 June 1993, States were called upon to refrain from any unilateral
measure not in accordance with international law and the Charter that creates
obstacles to trade relations among States and impedes the full realization of all human
rights 17 and also severely threatens the freedom of trade,
Bearing in mind all the references to this question in the Copenhagen
Declaration on Social Development, adopted by the World Summit for Social
Development on 12 March 1995, 18 the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action,
adopted by the Fourth World Conference on Women on 15 September 1995, 19 the
