Duda talks about importance of international law at UN

On Monday morning local time, president Andrzej Duda gave his speech at the General Debate of the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly underlining the rule of law and adherence to international law as a peace mainstay. "When a country displays aggression, conducting its policy through accomplished facts, tanks, Poland feels obliged to reject results of such activities," Duda said stressing that the law fosters peace and a lack of respect for the law may cause a war. He was the third speaker of the day, following a speech by Ban Ki-Moon and US President Barack Obama. The president also met with UN general Secretary Ban Ki Moon and the president of Hungary with whom he talked about immigration. On Sunday, Andrzej Duda paid tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attack on New York's World Trade Centre at the Ground Zero site where the WTC buildings stood. Later in the day he visited Greenpoint, home of the second-largest Polish community in the US after Chicago.
