More to come!

The UN Charter entered into force 7️⃣7️⃣ years ago, after being signed at the concluding session of the UN Conference on International Organisation in San Francisco on June 26, 1945. This is the official date of the founding of the UN.

💬 On September 25, 2021 in New York, FM Sergey Lavrov spoke during the General Debate at the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly. For Russia, he said, it was “obvious that one can only effectively counter threats and challenges through concerted efforts, in strict compliance with the universally recognised norms of international law; first and foremost, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.”

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia perceives the UN as a centre for regulating international relations. It also considers the UN Charter to be the cornerstone of the modern world order. Russia consistently calls for strengthening the UN’s central and coordinating role in global affairs.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 On Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s participation in the upcoming UNSC meetings

🌐 On April 24, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will take part in one of the key events of our country’s presidency at the UN Security Council, an open debate on the agenda item "Effective multilateralism through the defence of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations."

The main goal of the meeting is to offer member states an opportunity to reaffirm their unconditional commitment to the core provisions of the UN Charter, primarily those with regard to strong adherence to the sovereign equality of states and refraining from interference in their domestic affairs.

🇵🇸 On April 25, Sergey Lavrov will chair another UNSC high-level event, an open debate under the agenda item “The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.”

The Palestine problem which is central to the Middle East settlement process, is further from a solution than ever. It adds more urgency to the overall task of restoring the peace horizon and reaffirming the commonly acknowledged international-law basis for the settlement, including the two-state formula.
