🇺🇳24 October - United Nations Day 🗓️ It is exactly 79 years ago that the UN Charter came into force. Since its creation, the global organisation has remained a unique and inclusive platform aimed at promoting multilateralism and coordination of world politics. It is the responsibility of every UN Member State to ensure that the purposes and principles originally set out in the Charter are fulfilled in their entirety and interconnection. TheRussian Federation has always advocated for the preservation of the central coordinating role of the United Nations in global affairs as well as the consolidation of a multipolar system of international relations. ❌ Among the factors that have a negative impact on daily activities of the United Nations are attempts by the European Union and the West in general to replace or supplement the principles enshrined in the UN Charter with certain “rules” that the world order should supposedly be based on. It is a world order where someone's own selfish interests are hypocritically presented as universal, illegitimate coercive measures are introduced, all dissent and alternative points of view are suppressed, pressure and blackmail are used, interference in internal affairs and manifestations of neocolonial practices take place. The goal is thus to shape international relations through aggressive and explosive promotion of global hegemony, not through forging a sustainable consensus based on the balance of interests of sovereign States. ❗️The work of the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter is intended to counter Western aspirations to subordinate international relations to a so-called “rules-based world order”. The regular exchange of views between representatives of the Group’s Member States accredited in Brussels aims to contribute to the achievement of its goals and objectives within UN platforms. Russia will continue to reinforce its fruitful cooperation with those who advocate for a healthier situation in the world and for establishing inter-State communication on the principles of genuine multilateralism, international law, truth and justice. #UNCharterIsOurRules
