As our colleagues in this House know, New Zealand supports the multilateral system and we've heard that in these debates thus far; we support the rules-based international order. We do not support an international system where the militarily strong do simply as they wish; that's a world New Zealand doesn't want to see. The multilateral system, a rules-based system, is so important, whether in diplomacy, climate change, migration, or military matters. We make international progress by working together. But where one State acts alone, acts aggressively, invades; well that damages the international system. But one way to help preserve the international system is through sanctions. This isolates Russia and its leaders and it signals the world's outrage and the world's solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
