The collective West must abandon unilateral military actions and attempts to marginalize the UN. This was stated on Wednesday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at an international meeting of high security representatives.
“In the interests of reducing international tension, we call on Washington and Brussels to abandon unilateral decisions by force, attempts to marginalize the UN and create limited structures outside its framework that do not have legitimacy, but pretend to rule over everyone else,” the Russian Foreign Minister said.
The Foreign Minister stated that “Western ruling circles are not ready to restructure their foreign policy consciousness on the principles of international law, collegiality, equality and mutual consideration of interests.”
“Today, the task of updating the global security architecture with making it more stable on the basis of unconditional respect in practice for the principles of the UN Charter in all their totality and interrelationship is coming to the fore,” the Foreign Minister continued. “In the conditions of the destructive line of the West, its unwillingness to honest joint work, this goal can be achieved through the creation of mechanisms of regional and interregional security beyond the control of Washington and its satellites, through the formation of coordinated spaces of pragmatic cooperation and stable growth.”
According to the Minister, the most important help in this work can be “truly democratic interstate structures, where a constructive, creative, forward-looking agenda is promoted, where the principle of consensus operates, and not block and stick discipline.”
“The deepening of diverse ties between multilateral associations that operate in the Greater Eurasia is in demand,” Lavrov concluded. – Among them are the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Cooperation Council of the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. It suggests the inclusion of issues of continental security in the list of topics for consideration within the framework of an international organization that is planned to be created to replace the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-building Measures in Asia.”
