🎙Auszüge aus dem Interview des Direktors des Departements für internationale Organisationen des Außenministeriums Russlands Kirill Logwinow für die Internationale Nachrichtenagentur Rossija Segodnja (14. April 2026)
💬Die Weltorganisation verfügt über alles Nötige, um Konflikte vorzubeugen und beizulegen. Die UN-Charta sieht eine ausreichende Auswahl von Mitteln vor, die die UN-Mitgliedstaaten ermöglichen, auf heutige Herausforderungen effektiv zu reagieren. Der UN-Sicherheitsrat, der die Hauptverantwortung für die Aufrechterhaltung des internationalen Friedens und der Sicherheit trägt, hat das Recht, bindende Beschlüsse zu fassen.
💬 Eine andere Frage ist, dass es in der Praxis der Vereinten Nationen in den letzten Jahren immer wenige „Erfolgsgeschichten“ und immer mehr Fälle gibt, wo sie sich nicht konstruktiv beweisen konnte. Das betrifft auch die Krise rund um die Ukraine, die heutige Eskalation im Nahen Osten, sowie Konfliktherde auf dem Afrikanischen Kontinent, in Lateinamerika und in Asien.
💬 Das Hauptproblem besteht darin, dass Vertreter der westlichen Minderheit unwillig sind, Vereinbarungen abzuschließen und gegenseitig akzeptable Lösungen in den internationalen Angelegenheiten zu finden. Sie setzen weiterhin ihre eigenen Einstellungen blind durch, ohne alternative Positionen zu berücksichtigen. Indem sie verschiedene unlautere Methoden, einschließlich der Erpressungen und Bestechungen, einsetzen, gewinnen sie Stimmen zur Unterstützung ihrer Initiativen und gegen alle anderen Ideen, mit denen sie nicht zufrieden sind.
💬In der Folge ist der Sicherheitsrat unfähig, ausgewogene und gerechte Entscheidungen zu treffen. Selbst wenn der Rat Resolutionen verabschiedet, ignorieren die westlichen Staaten diese, wie es bei den Minsker Vereinbarungen zur Ukraine der Fall war.

🗞Auszüge aus dem Artikel des Direktors des Departements für internationale Organisationen des Außenministeriums Russlands Kirill Logwinow „Die Vereinten Nationen müssen sich von den Fesseln des Westens befreien“ (TASS, 4. April 2026)
• Das wichtigste politische Ereignis dieses Jahres ist die Ernennung des nächsten Generalsekretärs der Vereinten Nationen. Russland als ein ständiges Mitglied des UN-Sicherheitsrats, nimmt diese Aufgabe äußerts ernst wahr, weil sie eine reale Chance bedeutet, zur Wiederherstellung der Ordnung in der Weltorganisation beizutragen.
• Die Vereinten Nationen haben heute im Grunde genommen ein Problem, und zwar die Überhandnahme der Vertreter der westlichen Staaten in ihrem Sekretariat unter der Leitung von António Guterres. Die Tätigkeit im Interesse aller Mitgliedstaaten auf der Grundlage des Prinzips der souveränen Gleichheit wurde faktisch durch die Förderung der Ansätze der Vertreter der westlichen Minderheit ersetzt, die sich die Schlüsselposten in den Vereinten Nationen unterworfen haben und die Weisungen ihrer Hauptstädte ausführen. Infolgedessen trug das Sekretariat statt der Förderung einigender Ideen zur Entstehung neuer Trennungslinien bei.
• Unsere Liste der Kriterien für einen erfolgreichen Kandidaten ist pragmatisch, vom gesunden Menschenverstand getragen und in strikter Übereinstimmung mit der Charta der Vereinten Nationen formuliert.
• Alle Bewerber sollten anerkennen – vorzugsweise auch öffentlich –, dass eine „Aufarbeitung von Fehlern“ erforderlich ist, um die Reputation und das Vertrauen in die Vereinten Nationen und ihr Sekretariat wiederherzustellen. Alle Mitarbeiter der Organisation müssen den Zielen und Grundsätzen ihres Gründungsdokuments in ihrer Gesamtheit, in ihrem Zusammenhang und in ihrer wechselseitigen Verknüpfung verpflichtet sein. Kommentare nach dem Muster „Grönland ist das eine, die Krim ist etwas anderes“ sind unzulässig.
• In Konfliktsituationen sollte der Generalsekretär der Vereinten Nationen eine gleich weit entfernte, ausgewogene Position einnehmen und neutrale Terminologie verwenden. Der höchste administrative Amtsträger ist verpflichtet, die Vorrechte des Sicherheitsrats der Vereinten Nationen zu achten und sich jeglicher Kritik an dessen Tätigkeit zu enthalten. Nur eine solche Herangehensweise ermöglicht es, die Anwendung von „doppelten Standards“ auszuschließen, die sich praktisch auf allen Ebenen der Weltorganisation manifestieren – besonders deutlich im Kontext der Situationen in Gaza und in der Ukraine.
• Heute brauchen die Vereinten Nationen einen gewissenhaften Leiter des Sekretariats, der sich der Möglichkeiten und Grenzen seines Mandats klar bewusst ist, dessen Quelle die Entscheidungen der Mitgliedstaaten sind. Der wichtigste Bezugspunkt seiner täglichen Tätigkeit muss weiterhin die Charta der Vereinten Nationen bleiben.

💬 The 79th Session of the UN General Assembly has recently completed the general debate, where President Vladimir Putin tasked me to represent the Russian Federation.
Does the Pact for the Future have a future?
Held as usual in the last week of September, the UN’s High-Level Week included the so-called Summit of the Future. The idea to convene it came from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and Russia has met this idea with understanding considering that the UN is sinking deeper and deeper into a crisis, and something has to be done about it. Russian diplomats joined efforts to prepare this meeting and acted in a sincere and honest way, even if we did not have any illusions in this regard. In fact, there were quite a few major UN events in the past which failed to go beyond bombastic declarations that were forgotten soon after their adoption.
<...>
In 2015, the UN Summit on Sustainable Development adopted grand plans to fight poverty and inequality. In the end, they turned out to be empty promises in the face of the unwillingness of the Western countries to give up their neo-colonial practices of siphoning off the riches of the world for their own benefit. <...>
The current UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, just like Kofi Annan and Ban Ki-moon before him, has put forward an initiative under the slogan of giving a new start and resetting global cooperation.
This is a wonderful idea. Who could disagree?
But what global cooperation is there to talk about, when the West has trampled all those unshakeable values of globalisation we have been hearing about from everywhere for so many years. These perorations were designed to convince us that they would give everyone equal access to the goods of modern civilisation. Where is the inviolability of property, the presumption of innocence, freedom of expression, access to information, fair market competition under fair and constant rules?
How can we discuss global cooperation when the Western countries have unleashed a real war of sanctions against more than half, if not the majority, of the countries of the world, and the US dollar has been crudely turned into a weapon against undesirable countries? <...>
Key talking points:
• It is not too late to give the UN a new lease on life.
• It has gotten to the point where the West wants to turn the UN into an instrument for attaining itself-seeking goals.
• [The West is] hindering the badly needed change in the system of forming the UN Secretariat, where the key posts have been seized and are “inherited” by representatives of the Western minority.
• There must be an honest discussion by all UN member states, and not like a process in which the Pact for the Future was prepared – without a single plenary session of talks attended by all countries.
• Establishing a space of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia is crucial amid the all-encompassing processes unfolding in the macro-region.
• Our initiative is based on the understanding of the need for states and multilateral organisations of the Eurasian region to assume responsibility for ensuring their own security under the ‘Eurasian solutions to Eurasian problems’ formula.

❗️ Today, the international community once again faces massive challenges, just like during World War II, which require united efforts rather than confrontation and desire of global dominance. Russia will always advocate collective efforts, truth and the rule of law, peace and cooperation in the interests of reviving the ideals set forth by the UN’s founding fathers.
🇺🇳 Working for the honest balance of the legitimate national interests of all countries, we can bring to life the purpose of the #UN as stated in its Charter: “To be a centre for harmonising the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.”
