At the UN, Sergei Lavrov sounds the charge against Western countries (RT)

Don't worry about them, they know very well what they are doing, and in a few years when the United States will collapse, and chaos will affect France, they should invade us in less than 24 hours... Document yourself and pray.

In a speech delivered to the UN General Assembly on September 25, the head of Russian diplomacy denounced the unilateralism of Western countries in the conduct of international affairs.

In an intervention before the UN General Assembly which lasted only 17 minutes on September 25, the head of Russian diplomacy denounced the imposition by the West of a "rules-based order" instead of and place of unconditional respect for international law.

Sergey Lavrov said he was disappointed to see the UN serve as “an obedient instrument to promote the selfish interests of some. He then recalled the institutional and historical importance of the organization. He thus affirmed that the UN charter was “a set of rules [...] approved by all the countries of the world” and should therefore be “at the heart of bilateral and multilateral negotiations. »

During his speech, Sergei Lavrov also underlined the vital importance of international law and structures of dialogue that operate on the basis of treaties and multilateral agreements. The head of Russian diplomacy warned against any attempt to circumvent these mechanisms through the establishment of short-term structures serving very specific political interests and not those of the international community as a whole.

"The West would like to exclude from the process of developing comprehensive solutions those who have their own point of view"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was particularly critical of the American initiative to organize a "summit of democracies" next December. This summit announced by Joe Biden last August should bring together a dozen countries around three themes: the defense of our systems against authoritarianism, the war against corruption and respect for human rights.

The head of Russian diplomacy thus denounced an initiative “straight in the spirit of the cold war”. He also lamented the fact that Western countries arrogate to themselves the right to define which country is democratic and which is not. By criticizing the forthcoming organization of a summit of democracies, Sergei Lavrov wanted to confront the West with its contradictions. He thus recalled that although Western countries say they want to avoid a fragmentation of the world into opposing blocs, they are quick to put in place an initiative which, in fact, divides the world “between ours and yours”.

“The world order desired by Western countries is based on the principle of 'double standards', he said. Resolutions made by the UN General Assembly and Security Council are respected only when they serve the interests of Western countries, he added. To illustrate his remarks, he notably recalled the way in which the West had snatched the independence of Kosovo "by force" from Serbia in 2008, but had opposed the integration of Crimea within the Federation. of Russia - integration yet validated by a democratic referendum.

True to its historical diplomatic line based on the notion of absolute sovereignty, Russia has once again reiterated its opposition to any foreign interference in the internal affairs of another nation. This is how Sergei Lavrov denounced the unilateralism of Western countries, giving as an example the maintenance of “archaic trade embargoes” against Cuba and Nicaragua. He also hoped that Western countries, especially the United States, would give up their habit of "changing countries by force".

According to Russian diplomacy, it is time for the international community to learn the lessons of the dangerous consequences of the policy aimed at "undermining the foundations of the international order" put in place at the end of the Second World War. Sergueï Lavrov notably insisted on the fact that to solve the essential problems linked to development, the international community “needs unity” and not “a new split”.
