The President of the Nordic Council, Heléne Björklund, has reaffirmed the council’s support for democracy, the rule of law, and human rights in light of the current situation concerning Greenland.
Democracy, the rule of law, and human rights are core values of the Nordic Council. Greenland is a crucial part of the Nordic region and cooperation, and the Nordic Council strongly supports statements made by the leaders of the Governments of Greenland, Denmark, and other Nordic Governments, that Greenland's future will be decided by the Greenlandic people.
