Council of Europe: “Greenland’s future is for the people of Greenland and Denmark”

“Any decisions concerning the future status of Greenland, or its relations within the Kingdom of Denmark, may be taken ‘only by the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark’”, said the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, meeting in Strasbourg. By approving a resolution on the case of Greenland and threats against the international order, based on a report by Bertrand Bouyx, the Assembly stated that the “recent US threats against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark – a Council of Europe member state – were a ‘fundamental challenge’ to the international order”. “Recent public statements suggesting the acquisition, control, or transfer of territory challenge established international norms”, the parliamentarians said, without mentioning President Trump and the US administration. “Even when framed as hypothetical or strategic, such statements risk undermining respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity and contribute to a climate in which pressure and transactional logic are normalised”. In response, the Parliamentary Assembly welcomed “the strong resolve and united response of European states” in support of Greenland and Denmark.
