📰 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.

Valentina Matvienko: Russian principles of global energy dialogue are justice, non-discrimination and equal cooperation
Energy cannot be used as a geopolitical weapon, a means of blackmail or hindering development. The Speaker of the Federation Council stated this while delivering an address to the session on green energy at the G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (P20) held in New Delhi on October 13, 2023.
The Speaker believes that the transition to “green energy” is largely hampered by the attempts of separate states to monopolize and politicize this topic. In her opinion, attempts to “reshape” the global energy market have led to a sharp increase in the cost of resources and limited supply, as well as sabotage at energy infrastructure facilities, including the Nord Stream gas pipeline. She noted that investigations of such crimes are conducted behind closed doors for political reasons.
“The so-called sanctions — in essence, instruments of economic pressure with political goals, i.e. unfair competition, weaponization of advantages in the areas of technology, transportation, insurance, etc. — have a disastrous effect on the market. This is a dead-end path, and, ultimately, the initiators of sanctions themselves suffer from them.”
Russia is aware of its responsibility in the field of global energy security and is ready to provide the world with cheap and clean energy if artificial barriers are not built on the way to consumers, said the Speaker of the Federation Council.
Valentina Matvienko also recalled that Russia is promoting the environmental agenda through parliamentary diplomacy, in particular, the Federation Council is the organizer of the Nevsky International Ecological Congress, an important platform for the exchange of experience in environmental legislation. She invited her colleagues to participate in the Congress.
