President John Dramani Mahama has called on the international community to confront what he described as “forgotten conflicts” and uphold the principles of international law without selectivity.
Speaking in a formal diplomatic setting, Mahama drew attention to the worsening crisis in Sudan, which he labeled the world’s worst humanitarian disaster, with more than 11 million people displaced. He urged immediate measures to halt civilian suffering and pressed for unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza.
The Ghanaian leader also reiterated his country’s longstanding demand for an end to the decades‑long economic embargo against Cuba. He condemned unilateral coercive measures as violations of the UN Charter, stressing that such actions undermine the credibility of the global system.
“The credibility of the international system is tested most severely when human suffering is met with silence, selectivity, or indifference,” Mahama stated. “Sovereignty cannot be defended selectively, and international law cannot retain its authority if its application depends on political circumstance and lack of principle.”
Mahama’s remarks underscore Ghana’s positioning as a voice for equity and humanitarian responsibility in global affairs, aligning with broader calls from developing nations for reforms in international governance.
