🗓🌐 On October 15, 2026, the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly concluded voting in New York on the draft resolution "Combating Contemporary Forms of Colonialism," prepared by the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter. Nineteen states co-sponsored the resolution. The outcome: 85 votes in favor, 23 abstentions, and 49 votes against. 🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Ministry’s Director of the Department of International Organisations Kirill Logvinov: 💬The result speaks for itself. It clearly demonstrates who is truly —in action rather than just in words— fighting against the legacies of the colonial era and neocolonial ambitions, and who, conversely, is in no hurry to abandon the habit of exploiting entire nations and peoples, still clinging to a sense of their own exceptionalism. The global majority has once again proved to be the majority. ❗Russia, together with a wide circle of like-minded peoples of the countries of the Global South and East, will continue active and persistent efforts in the interests of ridding all countries and peoples without exception of the rudiments of colonialism, including in its modern manifestations. #UNGA
