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.

🎙 Briefing by the Russian President's Special Representative for International Cooperation on Information Security Artur Lyukmanov
Key talking points:
💬 The Russian Federation has introduced the topic of international information security to the agenda of the UN and other multilateral and regional organizations. We have been constantly working to elaborate norms of international law and the application of norms of international law regarding to information security.
🌐 We believe that in our work within the framework of the ad hoc committee, we need to assign the greater role to the countries of Africa, Middle East, developing countries, our CIS partners that have often been suffering from the illegal use of ICTs.
• Humanity is objectively entering a digital space. There are a lot of stereotypes and mechanisms of cooperation between states that already exist there, and we see that digital crime is not just illegal, but it's also bringing in a lot of money.
From answers to questions:
☝️ Russia supports the unconditional sovereignty of a state over its information space.
• On our territory, foreign companies and foreign manufacturers should comply with the national legislation.
• We are witnessing that ICTs are being used to spread fake and misleading information, for criminal purposes, which might lead to growing lack of trust between people and states, which might lead into direct confrontation and conflicts between them.
• Fake information is used first and foremost in order to radicalize the mood of the society and turn people against each other. <...> The spread of that information is harmful to efforts not just in information security, but in efforts to ensure peace.
• Information security should be ensured through the cooperation of states at the international level.
📈 The damage every year from criminals only in the European states is over five and a half trillion euros. That is the yearly damage, and it keeps growing every year.
