On March 2, Nepal took a courageous step in denouncing Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
It did so by breaking with China, India, and most other Asian nations to vote for a U.N. General Assembly resolution that deplored “in the strongest terms the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine in violation of Article 2, paragraph 4 of the United Nations Charter.”
The vote moved Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, away from its vulnerable position of nonalignment on global affairs to taking a stand with other democracies against the growing liberality and terror imposed by the world’s worst dictators, starting with Vladimir Putin. When he took the low road, Nepal stood proudly and courageously with Ukraine and, thus, with all truly free nations.
