📰Article by FM Sergey Lavrov(October 10, 2023) Adherence to the UN Charter principles in their entirety and interconnection underwrite international peace and stability Read in full 💬 The recently held general political discussion during the 78th session of the UNGA affirmed that the world is going through profound and tectonic changes. We are witnessing the emergence of a new and fairer multipolar order that reflects the world’s cultural and civilisational diversity. The future world is taking shape in the midst of a battle. The global majority, representing 85 percent of the world's population, advocates a more equitable distribution of global resources and respect of cultural diversity, as well as consistent democratisation of international affairs. On the other hand, a select group of Western nations led by the US is endeavouring to hinder progress through neo-colonial methods and to maintain its waning dominance. <....> Key talking points: 🔸 One can’t help but get the strong impression that the US and its subservient “Western team” have decided to impart a global dimension to the Monroe Doctrine. 🔸 Western ruling elites, in violation of the UN Charter, are telling other countries who they should maintain relations with and how. 🔸 The aggressive and self-serving approach adopted by the Western minority has sparked a major crisis in international relations, and the risks of a global conflict are running high. <...> It is critical to endeavor to turn the spirit of multipolarity enshrined in the UN Charter into reality. 🇺🇳 The mission of the United Nations lies precisely in seeking consensus, rather than dividing the world into “democracies” and “autocracies.” Russia, along with its like-minded partners, is fully prepared to contribute to this mission. ❗️ If global community members muster the determination to get back to basics and put their UN Charter commitments into practice, humanity will have a chance to overcome the destructive legacy of the unipolar era. #UNCharterIsOurRules
