An international peace summit in relation to the Russo-Ukrainian War, formally called the Summit on Peace in Ukraine,[1] was held in Bürgenstock Resort in Switzerland[2] on 15–16 June 2024.[3] The conference followed a series of four earlier international meetings,[4] and was hosted by the Swiss president Viola Amherd.[2] Representatives from 92 nations and 8 international organizations attended the summit, while Russia did not participate.[5][3]

The Joint Communiqué on a Peace Framework became the final statement of the summit and was supported by the majority of participants. In the Joint Communiqué, the signees declared that they agreed to take "concrete steps ... with further engagement of the representatives of all parties" on three themes: nuclear power and weapons, food security, and prisoners and deportees. The signees agreed that "Ukrainian nuclear power plants and installations, including Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, must operate safely and securely under full sovereign control of Ukraine and in line with IAEA principles and under its supervision" and that "Any threat or use of nuclear weapons in the context of the ongoing war against Ukraine is inadmissible." They declared that for the "supply of food products ... Attacks on merchant ships in ports and along the entire route, as well as against civilian ports and civilian port infrastructure, are unacceptable" and that "Ukrainian agricultural products should be securely and freely provided to interested third countries." They stated that "all prisoners of war must be released" and that all children and "other Ukrainian civilians who were unlawfully detained, must be returned to Ukraine".[6] Some delegates did not endorse the Joint Communiqué;[7][8] as of 26 September 2024, 89 states and six organisations had signed it.[9]
