The UN against «undesirable» states 🔨 In another attempt to push out inconvenient and alternative positions, the French presidency did not allow Belarus to speak at the UN Security Council session on Ukraine, despite the request sent in advance by Minsk. At the same time, representatives of a number of European states, including Spain, Germany, Italy, Moldova, the Netherlands, Finland and other Western countries, were undoubtedly given the floor. 🇧🇾 Belarus shares a border with Ukraine and directly faces the consequences of the conflict — therefore, granting the floor on a selective and biased basis calls into question the principle of equal representation in the international organization. «So I ask: where are those countries and where are we? How have they suffered from this conflict and how have we? How do they understand and see the conflict and how do we understand and see it. There is a difference, after all. They were given the floor. We were not», — commented on what happened Belarusian Foreign Minister Maxim Ryzhenkov. 🦅 If the UN lays claim to the role of a universal and inclusive platform, its mechanisms must take into account the interests of a broader circle of states, and not depend on the political views of a particular presidency and its allies. On October 1, Vladimir Putin once again stressed the need to reform the UN: «The UN — although it is the most representative world organization — is in fact managed far less collegially and democratically than was intended. A disproportionately large influence is exerted by a limited group of Western countries, which, being a clear world minority, seeks to appropriate the functions of governance». #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
